Students march in global rally

RICH MAGDA EDITOR IN CHIEF

Wearing two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks, three shirts, a heavy winter coat and a scarf but no gloves, senior Renee Di Pietro marched the streets of Philadelphia rallying for peace. The Philadelphia rally was part of the largest global peace rally in world history, which sprawled from San Francisco to Rome on Saturday, Feb. 15.

"To know that the rest of the world was doing the same and that we were together working to reassure and support their voices to their governments by pressuring for a peaceful resolution was soul touching," Di Pietro said.

At the rally with Di Pietro were David Chiles, coordinator of service learning resources, and junior Mike Pallouci. Di

Pietro expected to meet other friends, but they never came.

"I met up with Mike and David and we meshed in with the crowds, stunned at the diversity," Di Pietro said. "I met Temple students through Mike, and people from the Wayne Unitarian Church by being near them."

While chanting for peace, Di Pietro noticed the diversity of the crowd.

"Whenever you go somewhere interesting, you always notice how many different types of people are there," she said. "I have never been with so many different types of people before in my whole life."

Di Pietro overheard protestors talking on cell phones in languages that she did not recognize.

worldwide peace rally in Philly

STUDENTS,from I

For her, the turnoot was "emotionally spectacular" especially because of the cold temperature, snow showers and the gathering of hundreds of thousands a train ride away in New York City.

The rally route led protestors down Broad Street, around City Hall to Market Street, then to the Liberty Bell and finally circling the PhiladelphiaFederal Building.

Despite the winter weather, protestors maintained energy and enthusiasm for the cause of peace. "Drums began as the march cir• cled City Hall," Dj Pietro said. "It helped keep people on their toes to continue until the end."

Di Pietro and Pallouci tried their best to stay warm. Pallouci brought the hand wanning bags that you shake, but, according to Di Pietro, they were two years expired and did not work well. The group chatted about the rallywhen they were not answering powerful chants like, "What do we want? Peace! When do we want it? Now!"

"Marching is an experiencet Di Pietro said. "The rallying chants are strong. Though it's a peaceful protest, you feel really fired up because you 're walking through red lights, listening to drums and yelling, hoping that the people in limbo start to listen up."

Di Pietro recalled watching a Saturday morning shopper running with her children through the protestors as if to protect them from unjust people. "We were confused," Di Pietro said.

Although one woman ran to keep her children from hearing the pleas for peace, other parents encouraged their children to be active.

"Fathers had kids on their shoulders, and mothers led their children around Signs with 'Kids for peace' hung on their backs," Di Pietro said. "The children danced to the music and had a good time. Jtjust showed how important this issue is to many different types of people. People brought their families and the elderly showed up just as welt They came with old signs and methods from prior protesting days."

The protestors, of all ages and backgrounds, fought the cold as their chants continued to resonate through inner city.

An African American mother led her three young children in singing, "Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, Bush and Cheney have.to go!"

"I saw a girl partially wrapped in duct tape, as if to say 'Am I safe now?"' Di Pietro said.

Other prevalent signs at the rally included phrases like, "How many lives per gaJlon'?"which is inspired by the belief that war with Iraq is fueled by greed over oil, and "Drop Bush, not bombs."

Di Pietro went to the rally for one reason - to protest the war against Iraq. She believes that, "in many years there is going to be a lot of guilt for being so na'ive in our actions."

Di Pietro admits that, at times, she has become exhausted from dealing with opposition coming from her family, friends and the government. "But," she said, "I tried."

'Real wor Id' meets the real world

Students'skewedvisionof a careerreality is causedby yearsof televisionabsorption.

AMANDA SNOW STAFFWRJTER

If only your job at the design agency could be like Grace's on "Will and Grace" where everybody is joking around all day long. If only your fellow workers could be as gorgeous as Alexis Davis, Ned Ashton and A.J. Quartermaine on "General Hospital."

Today's generation of college to career students have been brainwashed by television and other media paraphernalia to believe that life is easy.

What happens when "The Real World" meets the really real world? What happens when people, who have grown up watching hours upon hours of TY, finally get a peek at what real, grown-up jobs are going to be like as they go off to college? What did they find out about TV's version of grown-up jobs?

"I think it makes life look too easy," Wayne MaCdowell, freshman business and marketing major, said. His friend Dave Ehrlich, sophomore English and communications major, said he hates shows like "Joe Millionaire" because, "it makes people want to lie."

MacDowell tells his stories of television influence and how TV almost failed him twice. "I watched 'The X-Files' for years, wanting to be in the FBI. Then I got a chance to sit in on an actual FBI investigation and it really sucked. That's when I found out how boring the FBI really was," MacDowell said. He continued to tell how, later, he was watching "Studio 54: Behind the Music" and how it made him want to run a punk club after seeing how cool it

was to be the manager of a music/dance club. What they did not show was the hard technicalities behind such a position. "Nonetheless, I wanted to own a club and still do." Macdowell said.

Still proving how TV makes life look easy, Ehrlich then told his story of lost hope. "I saw 'Indiana Jones' when I was young and thought it was cool that archeologists got to carry around whips and kick ass to get the treasure. Oh how I was misled. Damn Indiana Jones!" he said. It was short and sweet but had a point, which was that he had discovered archeology was not very exciting at all.

Stories of hope were also told. Jose Jalandoni, senior English and communications major, told his story of hope with his dream and goal for the future which is based on a show called "Law and Order."

Jalandoni said, "I watch 'Law and Order' whenever I can and, for a long time, I wanted to become a criminal lawyer because of that show." He said he had changed his mind when he came to college and found out about communications. He said, "I still want to study law, though, but in terms of business law, not crime."

Other stories of hope start out at childhood. Haven McMickle, junior psychology major, is a prime example of this wonderful experience. She went from that little girl who adored "She-Ra," the cartoon heroine who saved the world to keep the peace, on to modeling her life values after this intriguing cartoon character by becoming an anti-war activist. A pacifist, McMickle loves to help out wherever she can and is always ready to give a hug, needed or not.

McMickle tells of another interesting television inspiration that she managed to pursue for a little while. "The 'Snorks' (another cartoon) made me want to be a scuba diver. So I took scuba diving lessons until I was 13 years old." Her reason for scuba diving? She was under the impression that she would be able to find deep-sea creatures like the little mermaid, the snorks and other fun creatures found in the oceans of fairyland. But who is to say they are not really there? That is what McMickle wanted to find out but she has yet to do so.

The next student was also inspired by cartoons but in a different way. Jennelle Battle, junior marketing major, told how she was inspired by cartoons to become a fashion designer. "All those cute little skirts and outfits worn by Rainbow Bright and Jem! I always wanted to dress like them," Battle said, "I liked Daisy Smurf too, but I always wondered why she was the only female." She went on to say how those cute outfits had inspired her to become a fashion designer so that she could be the one to make the nice clothes and possibly wear them for herself. Then she decided that marketing would be a better place to help get her into the designer business.

The final student interviewed was Meisha Forbes, junior business and human relations major. She said that from the time she was little she was attracted to the singers on television. She was inspired by singers Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston on MTV

Freshmen retention rate low, 15% leave

GINA PERACCHIA ASST. A&E EDITOR

It is estimated that 15 percent of freshmen students transfer out of Cabrini each year. So why do so many freshmen transfer during their first year?

"That's a national phenomenon. I think people aren't sure in their. freshmen year what they want to do or what they want to be. I think it has to do with just being relatively young and sort of unsure of their direction," Dr. Catharine O'Connell, dean for Academic Affairs, said.

Students who are interested in leaving the school must go through O'Connell for a number of reasons. The college wants to

know why people are leaving to know if there are issues that need to be worked on. She also wants to make sure students have thought through their decision to leave, because many times they do not understand the implications in terms of finances and transcripts.

"I can't fix financial problems, but I work with the financial aid department closely, and sometimes it's not as big of a problem as the students think. Sometimes students can become really overwhelmed with problems that are actually solvable," O'Connell said.

According to O'Connell, there are different categories for reasons students want to transfer: "good" and "problematic" reasons.

"Good reasons would include a student discovering an interest or talent in an area we don't offer. Some students also really want the experience of a large school after the relative safety of a good first year at a small institution," O'Connell said.

Problematic reasons that O'Connell finds are students wanting to be closer to high school friends and feeling there is not enough to do on campus.

Not all freshmen students are ready to leave home and be out on their own right after graduating from high school. This is another reason many freshmen feel they need to leave.

Last year, sophomore Elizabeth Kronenberg had to live with a

OOYaJ REALLYWANT TO BE RESPO\JSIBLE Fffi TURNING A TREE INTO A BUNCH a=OJERDUENori CES?

young woman who desperately wanted to be closer to home because she missed her mother.

"Her mother is her only relative and they were really close. She decided within the first three months [of the first semester] that she wanted to transfer, and she left the second semester," Kronenberg said.

The students who transfer into this school say they enjoy it here and would not have it any other way. Krista Fittipoldi, a junior, transferred here last year and has enjoyed every minute of it.

"I transferred [to Cabrini] because of how good their education program is, and I love the atmosphere," Fittipoldi said.

Matthew Cornely, a junior and

communications major, transferred to Cabrini from Kutztown University and thinks it is the best decision he has made thus far concerning his future.

"I transferred to Cabrini because of the reputation of my major and the relatively convenient location to my home," Cornely said.

Sometimes students feel they will be happier at a different school, and they give off "the grass is greener" impression when they say they want to leave. In O'Connell's opinion, students will probably end up disappointed.

Agency proposes draft alternate

RICH MAGDA& KELLYFrr\"LAN EDITORIN CHIEF & ASST. NEWS EDITOR

With war looming and the economy struggling, America's armed forces are looking for soldiers, and college graduates are looking for jobs. A new project from a Washington D.C. think tank could be the answer for both sides - a short-term military enlistment plan designed for college graduates.

In the "citizen soldier plan:' college graduates would be put on active duty for 18 months, for which they will be rewarded with up to $18,000 in educational benefits.

"The era of big government is over and we're trying to usher in the era of big citizenship:' Marc Magee, director of the Center for Civic Enterprise, said, according to United PressInternational

For the military, the plan means an increased number of military personnel without reinstating the draft, which the military is against. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld denounced the reinstatement of the draftin January. Enlisting coJlege graduates for 18 months will make long lasting conflicts more tolerable for the reserves and diversify the anned forces. It will lessen the costs of long-term conflict as well.

Supl)()rters of the shorMenn enlistment plan agree that the plan. which is scheduled to begin ~h 31, will help America fight the war on terrorism and on other fronts, like Iraq and North Korea.

Although short-ferm enlistees will be limited to jobs requiring 20 weeks of training or I~ skeptics of the plan question if bringing in non-military personnel for active duty is a good idea.

Project Appalachia helps repair natural destruction

RYAN NORRIS STAFF WRITER

Project Appalachia is a break from studies to live together in a community year to meet people in various towns in West Virginia who are in need of home repairs.

"Project Appalachia is the longest running continuous service project that Cabrini students have done as a spring break alternative trip," Mary Laver, coordinator of Community Outreach and Partnerships, said.

There are a variety of organizations in West Virginia that Cabrini is going to use to find those people in need of home or building repair. Laver said, "Last year and this year we are focusing on repairing and refurbishing homes and churches of natural destruction."

Laver said they were worrying of a third flood this upcoming weekend.

West Virginia has lovely mountains with deep valleys and they are beautiful, but they can be treacherous when it comes to flooding. "The power of water can be fun, but it can also damage homes," Laver said.

West Virginia, right now, has the highest rate of homeowners and also the poorest homeowners, according to Laver.

With Project Appalachia, those going to help will be giving their time and support, and also have to fund for this event. They have to have money to get there and back, gas and tolls, for food to feed themselves, the heating and electric bill for where they are staying and also for building supplies. They are getting this money

through the help of fundraising. So far they have had the Joe Corbi Pizza fundraiser, which has been a traditional fundraiser for Project Appalachia. They also sold Valentine's flowers, raffle tickets and sent out letters for people to donate money towards this event. "Cabrini's Campus has been very generous," said Laver. Even faculty, staff and alumni have donated money for this event. There are many new students attending Project Appalachia. There are four leaders for the project this year, including: Maureen Cooper, Josh Dzielak, Colleen Hoy and Kristen Parks. Laver said, "the leaders have been terrific at getting people together. The fundraisers would have been possible without them."

Students who participate in Project Appalachia during spring break travel down to West Virginia to help residents repair their homes after natural disasters like flooding.

Blizzard turns students into kids again

KENDALL NEIL ASST. A&E EDITOR

Like little kids on Christmas morning, the students of Cabrini College sat around anxiously Sunday night waiting for the announcement that school would be closed for snow on Monday, Feb. 17. After the numerous instant messages, phone calls and searches on the web for any indication of a school closing, the official word made it around campus: Cabrini College would be closed on Monday, Feb. 17 due to inclement weather. Word spread like wild- fire and the campus became as active as it would on a Thursday night. It became a weekend that would last through Tuesday, Feb. 18.

With no classes, and seemingly no interest in doing any sort of homework, many of the students piled on the layers of clothes and went outside, armed with sleds, footballs and sparkes in their eyes. Many students found that the perfect place to begin their sledding adventure was on the hill next to the New Residence Hall and behind House One. Others decided to walk around the snowy campus and explore and, as usual, found the crowd to be outside of the Cabrini Apartment Complex.

So what are college kids supposed to be doing when there is snow on the ground? Tum into kids again, that's what. While some people managed to dig their cars out of piles and piles of snow, others took advantage of these piles and decided to build a snow fort. However, the popular vote seemed to be a game of football in the knee-deep "football field" behind the Mansion. As sort of a "pre-game" workout, so to speak, the snow in front of the CAC

Put

became grounds for snowball fights and a never-ending tackling contest, which left most participants looking like the abominable snowman.

As the sky got darker and the air got colder, everyone made the bike to the cafeteria to stock up on food during the time the one hour dinner was being served. Seeing that the snow was only going to continue, students took the night for what it was and planned on having classes to be cancelled yet again on Tuesday. But just because the night sky was in blossom, that did not mean the fun in the snow was going to stop. After finding out that all neighboring food places were closed, four rather brave residents from the NRH decided they were hungry enough to walk to Wawa for some "safe fun," sophomore Mike Sofia said. "We were hungry, and no one was delivering, so we decided to walk to Wawa. Two hours later, we made it back."

After finding out classes were again cancelled on Tuesday, facilities put out a broadcast message to the resident student community asking to dig out the lumps hidden under the piles and piles of snow that used to be our cars. Despite a lot of complaining and comments from the students, everyone banned together and successfully moved the majority of the cars to the Founder's Hall parking lot. At this time in our nation with so much riding on whether or not we will become involved in a war, it was a sigh of relief to stand back, looking at the masses of snow that now occupied the parking places that our cars once bad been occupying. If we, as the future of this nation, were able to ban together and dig our cars out of the heaps and heaps of snow, who knows what we 'II be able to do next.

arts & Entertainment Fractions v. Decimals: Local musician plays Coffeehouse series

JACKIE FREESE ASST. PERSPECTIVES EDITOR

With his black, curly mop of hair, worn out jeans and fingers strumming the guitar, singer Adam Richman poured his heart out to an audience of close to 100 people about his love for fractions.

"Fractions rock; they are far better than decimals," Richman said. "I also like the rational numbers. That's for all you math majors out there."

Richman, a 20-year-old singer and guitarist who has played at over 150 colleges nationwide, let loose about math and other things at the third annual Coffeehouse, held on Wednesday,Feb. 12 in the food court by the Campus Activities Programming Board.

"You all sound like dying cats," Richman, referring to the way the audience yelled and clapped for him, said. "Speaking of dying cats, here's a song about my exgirlfriend."

After playing for over an hour, Richman ended his set with a song called "From the Pain, which is modeled after the now defunct teen angst show "My So Called Life."

"This is my full time job," Richman said. "Playing for people is the coolest job in the world."

The Coffeehouse also featured students on the open microphone, where students could go onstage and perform various types of entertainment.

"We had so many people who wanted to come out and show their talents," sophomore Stefanie Ciarocchi, co-chair of the event, along with sophomore Ashlee Lensmyer, said.

Students performed anything from singing to poetry. One student, sophomore Megan Mirzoeff, had the chance to perform with Richman.

While Mirzoeff was singing "Building a Mystery" by Sarah McLachlan, Richman started playing guitar to go along with her singing.

"It was the highlight of the evening," Ciarocchi said.

The next Coffeehouse will be held on Friday, March 28 in the foodcourt at 9pm.

"There are going to be more chances for the open microphone," Ciarocchi said. "So, keep your eyes open."

Tom Reing, who came to speak to communication majors on Thursday Feb. 13, helps children express themselves through theater acting, and he writes plays based on some of his experiences. In college, he and four friends were all in a theater production and they were drunk standing around a keg, saying they would alwaysstay in the the-ater department and never leave each other. Reing said he is the only one still doing what be loves to do.

Reing started at Shippensburg University where he got his undergraduate degree. Suprisingly, he did not major in theater there; he could only minor in theater.

He then went to graduate school at Villanova University for two years, followed by Delaware Theater for two-and-a-half years. Then Reing went to work for the Interact Theater Company, where he is currently employed as an education director.

Reing says he came to speak to Cabrini about the idea of "loving what you do, and how you need to find the joy." He mostly teaches students in special education. At one time be was teaching deaf students frotn. Archbishop Ryan, and blind students from The School for the Blind, and he brought them together to put on a play. He said at first it was very challenging having students whom were blind work with students who were deaf. Reing

Tom Reing came to campu, to talk to Ifie Englishand communkatJonswdenu of Career about his expe~ces, induding seeing Ireland and writingandpottingon pla.ysL learned the American Sign Language, so he could understand, and communicate between s,tudents. "I learned amazing things about the deaf community," Reing said. He got through it, and be is proud of the work he does.

Reing is mspired by the stu• dents he teaches. He sometimes writes pieces on the things they teach him. One of his students once said, "He is the shoelace, but I am the thread that keeps him straight."

Web Exclusives: "No Way Out"

While working in Gray's Ferry in Philadelphia. which is primarily dominated by people of Irish Catholic heritage, he learned their customs and traditions. His students would protect him, no matter what, when he was in Gray's Ferry, but as soon as he left, they told him to watch out. He worked with these kids, and got on their level as to help them out and teach them communication skills and theater to help them deal with their emotions. He also worked in Belfast, Northern Ireland and said one time a man was shot for wearing a Celtic's jersey. The people there all wore Celtic jerseys the next day. Reing wrote a play comparing the children from Belfast to the children in Gray's Ferry called, "High Noon at Grays Ferry; 1\vilight on Falls Road."

When asked how he starts writing his pieces, Reing said, "it's in the people; I need to go back to Gray's Ferry. I need to know the current slang or I'd be writing things such as, "Homie don't play dat."

Reing bas directed another play, which is currently running called, "Nocturne". "Nocturne" is an account of a suburban family whose lives are instantly and irrevocably altered as the result of a son killing bis sister in a car accident. "Nocturne" ultimately aids us in realizing that life is worthwhile because of its challenges, not in spite of them. The play is being held at the Adrienne Theater at the Second Stage now through February 23rd.

•<OtdSchool" is every college student's fantasy, complete with no classes or homework. Three men, two of which have families of their own, attempt to relive their college years by starting their· own fraternity. Mitch, played by Luke Wilson, moves into a house on a college campus after recently stumbling upon his girlfriend's apparent habitual sexual tendencies.

Frank, played by Will Ferren, is known to this over-the-hill fraternity as "Frank the Tank" once he breaks out his funnel. Ferrell is absolutely hysterical in this role, sustaining the image that be created for himself on "Saturday Night Live." Like "SNL;' for a large part of the movie, he wears no clothing.

Matt Robinson, lead singer and sophomore, took the stage with the band just after 9 p.m. to perform a 13 song set. Robinson used his time on the microphone to talk to the audience about their participation in the night's gig. Robinson also explained certain feelings in their songs, noting that one song was for "anyone who locked themselves out of their own house." Lastly, Robinson used his time to blast bassist Nathaniel Malara, the newest member of the band. At one point, Robinson asked the crowd if any of them played bass.

The band surrounding the stage played their songs without missing a beat. Art Amici, the shirtless drummer, blasted away on the drums through songs constantly lighting cigarettes. Andrew Fullerton, lead guitarist, kept with the beats of the songs, once even

with a cigarette hanging perfectly from his mouth. Malara plucked on the bass on the far right of the stage, bouncing to the rhythms of the songs as the band played on. While normally, it would be hard for a crowd to get into the sound of a band just making their break, the band managed to keep the crowd going, especially with songs like "Red Blooded American Male," "Springsteen Town" and "You Build The Walls." Towards the end of the show, the band also played "More Than This," which they called their single. The song is currently on the rotation for 89.1 WYBF FM, along with "Burning Out Again." "More Than This" was certainly a crowd pleaser as everyone seemed to get into it the most, even with one girl next to the mixing board, allowing her head to bounce from shoulder to shoulder. Into the night, the band hung out while other bands played, and they shared beers with people who wanted to talk to them about music. "It was great to see all these familiar faces in the crowd," Fullerton said. Fullerton may have once called the band a "poor man's Queen" in jest, but once the band hit the stage, they were clearly "more than that."

Seein double? Breaking into the "Clone Age"

HEATHER DILALLA ASST. PHOTOEDITOR

Could parents one day have the opportunity to clone their fatally ill children? Could Hitler or Elvis be brought back to life? Could humans be cloned for the sole purpose of using their organs? Would clones have rights and legal protection?

Cloning is becoming one of the more popular debates lately. It is defined as an individual grown from a single body cell of its parent and genetically identical to the parent or a copy of an original form. It is common believe that if a person would be cloned, they would look identical to each other. First, the clone has to be born, so it begins life as a young child. It could possible grow up to resemble the original person, but it is not always true. Many researchers are intrigued with the idea of people being able to watch themselves grow up. They could conduct experiments between the person and their clone to see how they were affected by their environment while growing up.

Researchers believe they have the ability to clone a human embryo and use its cells and tissues to help a sick person. The embryo would die during this process, but the sick human would be cured. Researchers believe that certain illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and heart failure could be cured with the process of cloning. Other studies show that the aging process could be reversed with the help of cloning. It has the possibility of becoming the fountain of youth, by taking off 20 or more years off your life. Cosmetic procedures could no longer need silicone or other artificial material. Instead, they would be able to use real tissues and fat for the implants or surgeries.

On the one hand, people argue that cloning has the opportunity to save lives; while others disagree by saying, it is unjust and unethical. The catholic religion believes that there is no justification for cloning.

Others think it is too soon to tell if cloning is safe and how much it would help other people out Katie Whoriskey, a junior whose major is early childhood elementary education, feels tom between whether cloning is something that should be allowed. She thinks it is great that cloning could potentially save lives, but at the same time feels that it is unethical to take the lives of unborn embryos.

"I have mixed feelings about cloning. lfthey can figure out a way to where they wouldn't kill the embryo's, I think it would be great," Brooke Petterdozzi, a junior said.

If a man cloned himself, would the child be that man's son or his twin brother? The answer is it would be neither; it would have its own category as being just his clone. Now, would a clone be a human with rights or would it have an owner? Would the clone be open to all of the education and job opportunities offered? There are so many unanswered questions pertaining to cloning.

In 1997, researchers at Scotland's Roslin Institute sparked worldwide debate when they announced the cloning of a sheep named Dolly. The event brought many questions to the table about the possibility of cloning a human and its ethical concerns. In 1999, scientists noticed that the cells in Dolly's body cloned from a 6-year-old sheep had started to show signs of wear more typical of an older animal. Then in January 2002, her creators announced she had developed arthritis at the relatively early age of 5 1/2 years. The decision to end the life of 6 year old Dolly was made Feb. 14, after a veterinary examination confirmed the lung disease. Dolly's premature death is primarily caused by her old cells, from which she was cloned, leaving even more questions unanswered. Would cloning a human mean that the life span would be drastically shorter?

There are presently hundreds of animal clones around the world, including cows, pigs, ·--~ ,,_ mice and goats, many of them are healthy. However, they have failed in several attempts to clone. On some occasions, the animals were born with oversized organs, deformities or ' died while still in the womb.

"I disagree with cloning because it would be weird to see two of my friends walking around. I mean, would they be real people or just zombies?" Jen Wilcox, a junior said. Other reasons for cloning might include replacing lost and repopulating endangered or even extinct species.

Spring Break: the two words that are music to every college student's ears. What can be better than tons of fun with the friends you've made and live with for the majority of the year? It's a week filled with more memories than you could build over the year. Whether it's lying on a beach, hanging out in the Poconos, or hiding yourself in a hotel room so you can illegally enjoy (what I'm sure is only) one or two alcoholic drinks. Ahhhh, Spring Break.

Junior Alissa Smith and a group of friends filled with juniors and seniors plan to hit up the Poconos. For them, it will be a week with skiing, snow tubing, and many trips to the hot tub. Sophomore Sarah Madden and friends are planning a trip to Orlando. This is a fun-filled city where they plan to visit Disney and Universal. Who knows, maybe they will run into Justin Timberlake and the N'Sync gang. Liz Graham, junior, has the same consensus as she plans to visit Disney World. Senior Jay Rotella plans to take a testosterone building road trip with his buddies down to Miami, Daytona Beach, and who knows where from that point. Kat Pirrone, senior, has the right idea as she states, "I'm flying off to an exotic island with my French lover Pierre."

But what about the sports teams? What do they plan to do? Will it be all work and no play? For the men's lacrosse team, it seems that way. They will be traveling south for three games. The first will be against Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Va. The next stop brings them to Wingate, N.C. where they will face Wmgate University. Afterwards they head over to Greensboro, N.C. to play Greensboro College.

This is not the case for the softball team. They have a good mixture of work and play, as they head across the country to sunny California. There they will practice and face some serious competition to prepare for the season. That's not all, however. This year the team planned a trip to be at a taping ofThe Price is Right. Imagine seeing one of these girls standing next to Bob Barker preparing to play Plinko. The women's lacrosse team will head south as well to Florida. They will face some tough teams to help them in another successful season. They have nothing actually planned for the trip, but last year the ladies had a day to go to Universal or relax by the pool. Either way, they are corning back with tans.

Despite protests, Bush stays on war path

One day before a massive winter storm covered Philadelphia in thick snow, the city streets housed the echoes of anti-war chants. Over 10,000 protestors gathered last Saturday in the City of Brotherly Love for one purpose - peace.

People around the world joined the Philly protestors. February 15 is now in the history books as the day of the world's largest peace rally. But even with the worldwide opposition of the United States' invasion of Iraq, President Bush is still pushing for war.

Our country is in a difficult position right now. Over 300 cities across the globe were filled with protestors last weekend. Citizens of the world want peace, not war with Iraq. France and Germany, historically two of our stronger allies, are making a strong stand against war.

In response to the massive protests,

Bush simply reminded his peopre that being able to come together and speak freely is the beauty of democracy. He politely disagrees with the millions who oppose his hawk views.

At this time last week, the Bush administration planned to release its resolution plan by now. The reason for the wait was to hear over 50 countries in opposition of the war speak at a United Nations debate on Iraq.

In the week since then, the administration has run into a wall. Remember that France is against this war with Iraq, and that France has veto power in NATO. The United States has over 150,000 troops stationed in the Middle East right now. But they need critical geographic points in order to stage an effective war against Iraq. Bordering Iraq to the north is Turkey, one of

the key points and a friend of the United States. But, in order for Turkey to feel secure with American troops crossing the border to attack lraq, Turkey needs financial aid. When Turkey turned to NATO for help, it was declined. For the first time in the SO-yearhistory of NATO a country was declined aid. Thank you, France.

The United States is still strong enough to take care of Iraq. Even with the setbacks and the world of opposition, Bush is steady on the track to war, full steam ahead.

Last week Arts and Entertainment editor Ryan Mulloy and staff writer Ryan Norris argued in a point-counterpoint whether or not the United States should go to war with Iraq. The question they did not answer, however, is what will be the result of our certain victory? Will we be better of having won?

Laziness gives bad rep to Cabrini life

JERMAINE O'NEIL STAFFWRITER

Cabrini Cavaliers?

How about the Cabrini Couch Potatoes?

I must say that Cabrini students are some of the laziest students around. Wait, I take that back; they are not, lhey just do not care.

Unless the word starts with a "D" and is followed by seven other letters, most students could care less. The lack of student involvement on this campus is kind of embarrassing. No matter what the activity is it seems that 75 percent of the campus is oblivious to its existence.

We can start with activities that are set up for students. These activities are organized and set up for the enjoyment of the students. Hold up a minute though, where are the students? They don't even come out to these events. The

majority of those who are there are those who helped set it up and work on the activities board. There can be a game show being held, musician performing or hypnotist. The students just aren't there. So when I hear students complaining and crying about being bored and having nothing to do, I just laugh.

Another thing is the school's clubs. The same people are on every club. Everyone knows the people who are involved in these clubs because the numbers are low. These clubs should not have to ask for extra help to set up activities because there should be enough students in that club to do it. 1am not presently on any clubs, but maybe I would be if I knew there would be others there too. You see the same people doing every event and it just makes you say "oh, whatever."

Now we can talk about Cabrini's most popular area, sports. Out of every event held here at Cabrini , the largest population of students go to varsity

basketball games. And those numbers aren't even stunning. What about the other sports? I go to a field hockey game and see maybe 20 people there. I am not exaggerating this number. Most sports are the same way.

There is a decent amount of students that go to the varsity basketball games, but the majority just go to big games. Games against Eastern and stuff. Even when we do have a large Cabrini crowd at a game the school spirit is only present when the team is winning. lf the Cavs are down you do not hear much commotion. Cabrini students are just like Philadelphia fans. They love you when you are winning, but silent when you are not.

This here though is the most embarrassing aspect of it all. Other schools come here to Cabrini and they cheer louder than we do. We get shown up at our own school. That's just not right. Maybe if free beer was given out at the sporting events then every-

Foul odor invades bath

MELISSA IPIETRANTONIO

Since when does water smell like rotten eggs? Apparently it does since I moved into House 3.

Can you imagine trying to brush your teeth with your minty fresh toothpaste and gagging, not because of the toothbrush in the back of your mouth, but because the water smells so bad?

l never had problems with dry skin, but here, I find myself moisturizing several times a day. Others say their skin isn't as clear when they're here at school. Maybe it's stress, but l highly doubt it.

There are times when the water pressure is so low, I can't even wash my hands. If someone else has the water running, or someone is doing laundry, the pressure goes down, and it's not

even worth it to use it. And believe me, living in a house fulJ of girls, there is almost always laundry being done.

Every morning I dread taking a shower because I feel like I am bathing in a waterfall of sulfur and sewage. I might as well go outside with my soap and shampoo when it rains; I would probably have the same feeling anyway.

If that's not bad enough, I can't even take a decent shower here. Every time I tum the water on, the temperature is fine, but as soon as I step in, I practically get third degree burns. So. I try to reach the knob, even though the water is in the process of burning my skin off, and I finally do, and tum it. Now I feel like I am stuck naked in the Arctic Ocean.There is no happy medium in this shower. It's either scaldingor freezing.

So you don't think there could possibly be anything more I could complain about with regards to the shower, right? Wrong. When, at that very rare, opportune

one would come. Then they would all be drunk and out of control, maybe then we would get some school spirit. How's that for an idea.

The students that are there though are always at all the events. The same people go to these things. I must admit I do not go to every activity, but I try and go to some. The main reason I don't go to them all is because I know nobody is going to be there. It is kind of pointless to go if you. and the janitor are the only ones that are going to be there. It's just no fun unless there's a large crowd, which is hardly ever present at Cabrini, even on the weekends. There are more people at Taco Bell on a Friday night than there is on the Cabrini campus.

One last thing that I noticed about Cabrini is that a lot of people on campus have "too cool" syndrome. People think they are too cool to do things. Partying and getting wasted are not the only way to be cool, people. We are not

in high school anymore. People are like "Dude, I'm not going to see no stupid hypnotist, that's for dorks, man. How about we fill up a book bag with beer and just walk around campus instead?"

There is nothing wrong with having fun and partying; I do it myself. I would just like to see more people cheering when I go to a basketball game. It is no fun by yourself. Maybe I'll go see a singer perform if it is not just me and those who set it up present. I just think people take Cabrini as a joke.

The more people keep blowing off activities and what not is only going to make Cabrini worse. You think the student count is low? Not, unless students open their eyes and try and get involved, then the count will continue to drop. People will just be like, "This school sucks!" And with this attitude let's see how Cabrini is in four or five years from now.

moment the water is actually warm, I get so excited and suddenly the temperature drastically changes again.It's awful.

I have talked to facilities twice, once last semester and once this semester,but apparently there are more important things. I understanda shattered window is more imperative,but there was nothinglike that last semester,so what exactly is the bold up?

All I hopefor is thatsomeone reads this and takes care of the problemas soon as all the bigger damagesarerepaired.

Thisdoesnot happenin a normal house,so it shouldnot happen here. I know everyonesays this,butwe paya lot of moneyto live hereandI thinkit'sonly fair that our water situation is improved,if not perfected Until then,I will continuetakingshowers at 4 a.m. whenthe laundry finallygoes in the dryer.

Duct tape cannot fix this

Planning for a terrorist attack is a lot like planning for a championship parade without knowing what sport was won, or what city is hosting it. It is simply ridiculous for this government and for the people ofth1.scountry to allow terrorism to permeate our home spaces and families.

The other day, my mother casually mentioned over dinner the prospect of making an escape plan "just in case". of a terrorist attack. This was the first real instance in recent time that the prospect of a terrorist attack has really entered my family or home. It feels violating to have to think of fleeing your home, your pets and your lifestyle because of recent government warnings, or zealot fanatics with a point to prove. Even more violating is the insinuation - and in some circles, the recommendation - that the public buy duct tape and plastic to shield themselves against a biological or chemical attack. Short of spawning the sales of duct tape and plastic sheeting, what could this administration possibly be thinking?

Perhaps President Bush, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge and Secretary of State Colin Powell see that this is a way of letting the public feel somehow in control of the impending

threats. I certainly hope our government has better plans to protect our country, or else I see a giant tarp stretching from Maine to Florida, New York to Los Angeles, fastened in by a nice layer of duct tape. Sorry Hawaii and Alaska, this tarp doesn't reach you folks, but it's been a great run with you guys!

Such ridiculousness is shocking coming from a culture that is normally poised in the face of danger. What our country needs now is inspiring words and leadership· from the President. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected to the Presidency in 1933, he addressed the country with reassuring, comfort~g words.

"Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." They are words that every American grew up hearing in elementary school lessons. They are words that reassured a tense American culture that the President was in control and everything would be OK.

Let me make this perfectly clear: DUCT TAPE AND PLASTICS DO NOT MAKE ME FEEL OK! This administration needs to stop treating our current international situation as if it were the Y2K scare. All across America, Home Depots and supermarket shelves are running bare of supplies by overzealous citizens feebly trying to protect themselves from another terrorist attack. In New York City, armed gunmen

stand poised outside of Madison Square Garden, complete with M16 rifles and armor, while pedestrians stroll past. People are lining up to buy "No-Rad," anti-radiation pills and gas masks.

Meanwhile, late last week, ABC News reported that the alQaeda members who reportedly tipped off the government about alleged "dirty bomb" attacks in New York City, Washington D.C. and Florida were actually lying. What many people fail to realize, or simply overlook, is the basis of terrorism. By simply overreacting and panicking to idle warnings, we allow ourselves to become fodder and play for terrorists. Like it or not, America is a country built upon and founded on the ideals of staring danger and terror in its face, and beating it. Now, in seemingly our darkest hours in decades (and with the help of 24-hour cable news networks), many Americans are wound up tight and fearful.

At the root of all this concern and panic are more than just terror threats, or elevated alert statuses. The root of this fear lies in what many countries believe to be imperialistic American foreign policy. The Bush administration is juggling the War on Terror, a powder keg of a situation in Iraq, public relations with the United Nations and what seems to be a crisis-in-the-making with North Korea. The big question in all of this: Is now really the time for war?

According to a recent Time Magazine article, Charles Rangel,

a Democratic congressman from New York, and Senator Ernest Hollings, a Democrat from South Carolina, are looking to "introduce a bill that would reinstate the draft, which ended 30 years ago."

The article's writer, Douglas Waller, asks the following question: "Would Congress and the American public be so eager to wage war if everyone's son and daughter might be called to fight?" Waller goes on to say that, "Of all the members of Congress and Senators who voted last fall to allow George Bush to use force against Iraq, only one had a child serving in the enlisted ranks of the military."

Today's college student could very well be tomorrow's battlefield statistic. You may be wondering how all of this ties together. Simply put, poorly organized and poorly thought-out plans dealing with foreign policy (specifically Iraq) are only going to result poorly, with consequences via dramatic loss of American life and terrorist attacks on the home front. Do we simply look away and act as if this problem with Saddam Hussein does not exist? Certainly not, but now may not be the time to address a 12-year-old situation. Let's prioritize our aggression here, Mr. Bush. How many wars can we fight at once?

The people making the decisions to send us to war are not the people who are going to fight in it. Moreover, they are not the people who are going to lose friends or family in it. These sons or daughters of senators and congresspeo-

pie are not on the battlefield ducking bullets. The President is not sending his two daughters into combat. On the same note, the people making the decisions to send us to war are not standing in line to buy duct tape and plastic sheeting, as they are safely guarded by the U.S. Marines. Simply put, if it hits the fan, the leaders of our country will be safely underground in a bunker somewhere with their families.

I simply ask our government to put a little bit of thought into the people they were elected to represent, the very same people whose lives are going to be put in danger; the very same people who are frantically waiting in line to buy duct tape or plastic, anti-radiation pills or gas masks. Remember in your talks of inspections and orange alert levels the voiceless, nameless face of America, the jaded masses that live here seeking freedom, and die here having left no legacy. Consider the quality of life that we, the American public, the blue-collar workers and second-class citizens, have been tossed thoughtlessly into by hotheaded, often irrational governmental decisions. And remember the values that this government was founded on, none of which mentioned the pursuit of duct tape and plastics, rather life, liberty and happiness, Jest the American dream become an international nightmare.

Dancing to a whole new beat

RYAN MULLOY A&E EDlTOR

Gina Roswell, a senior, stands on the sidelines now when the dance team completes performances. The team spends hours a week trying to perfect their craft, as Roswell helps them along through practices as one of their coaches. This year would have been her last year to perform with the team, but an injury has kept her from her passion.

Roswell began dancing at age three when her mother enrolled her in classes for ballet and tap dancing. Since the age of three, Roswell has danced with several professional dance companies, putting on shows in an effort to become a better dancer.

At "South Jersey Dance Works," Roswell was part of the Touranado Dance Troupe, a group considered a professional dance company for the work they have done. "We had professional gigs, some annual recitals," Roswell said, "but we danced at other colleges and some places in Philly."

A major highlight with the

troupe, however, came when they were asked to perform in a music video. "We were all in a video. It was some band, I'm not sure what kind of band they were, but we got paid and were basically their video."

In 1999 when Roswell came to Cabrini, there was no dance team. "Freshman year we had a cheerleading team, so I joined that." The team did not last through the year though, as everyone eventually quit. The following year though, Andrea Manieri, Roswell's co-coach this year, started a dance team. After Manieri graduated in 2001, Roswell took over the coaching position with Amanda Cappelli, senior. This year, however, Roswell asked Manieri to come back and coach with her.

Roswell continued to dance as the coach of the team until October 24, 2002 when injury struck. Roswell had always bad a bad back, having seen a chiropractor since age nine, but during practice for Midnight Madness, Roswell suffered an injury that would end her dancing career.

WE GAINED WEIGHT

"I bent over to do a move, and when I tried to get back up, I couldn't move my back." Roswell describes the walk back to her apartment on campus as more of a hobble, but credits her roommates for getting her through such a difficult situation. But even their help couldn't stop Roswell from helping the dance team begin the basketball season at Midnight Madness.

"Probably about an hour before we were supposed to go on, I was just like 'I'm going to do it."' Roswell felt the effects of her work that night for the next week, saying her friends told her she looked like an old woman when she walked. After meeting with doctors, she found out she had dislocated her sacrum iliac disk in her lower spine.

Roswell does not have time for treatment now, with her doctor being in her home state of New Jersey. After graduation, she plans on becoming a lawyer, so taking time to get her back fixed does not seem like a likely option.

For now Roswell enjoys being the coach and is especially proud

that the dancers will finish their full season. Having worked on the dance floor and the sidelines, Roswell has experienced every facet of dance. While she can no longer perform her passion, Roswell seems perfectly content with being one of the coaches this

year, and not a performer. "I love working with Andrea as a coach because she's so talented and just an excellent coach. I'm incredibly proud of our girls too, and I'll miss being a part of that family."

The men's basketball team improved their record to 16-7 overall and 11-3 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, on Wednesday, Feb. 12, when they took on the Knights of Arcadia University. The 54-47 victory moved the Cavs back into first place in the PAC.

The Cavs went into the game feeling confident that they would be able to beat the Knights as long as they "played smart and didn't turn the ball over," sophomore Dan Clemens said, "Arcadia plays really well at home," The first half the score was kept considerably close. "We took too many 3's [point shots] in the first half and when we got the ball down low, we were not finishing. That's why the score was so close at halftime" Clemens said.

With the Lady Cavs being outnumbered in inches while consequently being out rebounded, they were still able to use their speed and fast movement skills to overtake Wesley. The game against Wesley, "Was a big win for us because it will put us well on our way to the PAC championship," freshman Hannah Welker said.

One of the highlights of the game was when Wesley's star player, Cessa Bacon, fouled out of the game whenshe was outrebounded by Stephanie Moritz.

' After this point, the Lady Cavs were easily able to sweep 1he rest of the game. However. "We are still getting out-rebounded, becauseWesleywas a tall team,

The second half of the game became even more exciting as the Knights came out fired up, seemingly prepared to offer the Cavs a loss in the PAC. As the gap between the score became closer and closer, the Cavs remained calm. "We could not really get nervous when the game got close because as soon as you get nervous, that's when mistakes start happening," said Clemens.
