Conflict at passive protest

ANDY FINDLAY STAFFWRITER

Different opinions were expressed as students voiced their feelings regarding the war with Iraq outside Founders Hall on Wednesday,March 26.

Conflicting viewpoints were evident as students formed two separate groups of protestors, anti-war and pro-america.

Anti-war protesters feel that war is unnecessary. They want a peaceful resolution as opposed to a violent one. They are against the death of American soldiers who are supporting the war cause. Those in support of the war stand by our troops and support their actions in "Operation Iraqi Freedom."

Mary Laver, coordinator of Community Outreach, said, "I'm supportive of the student opinion. There is an obligation for any person to find out what's going on. Youneed to have an honest answer to the question, 'What do you believe?' You, then, need to express your opinion." Laver said, "We've stopped short of diplomatic reasoning."

A news helicopter hovered

overhead as the protest progressed. Reporters from channel 3 and The Philadelphia Inquirer were scattered around Founders Hall.

"College students have opin-

ions that need to be expressed. This isn't just an adult topic," Nancy Santos-Gainer, director of Marketing and Communications, said. She wanted the voices of Cabrini to be heard.

President Antoinette Iadarola said, "I support both sides of the protest and am glad students are talking and voicing their opinion."

Iadarola supported the pro-war students.

Senior Amy Gassen was present in the group of students protesting peace. "Iadarola showed a bias. I felt neglected as a voice of the student body," she said.

The mock-death protest was surrounded by yellow caution tape. Four girls mocked death by lying down on the grass, their bodies outlined with white spraypaint. Junior Haven McMickle justified her actions by stating, "I believe in humanity and am taking a stance against violence. I want

to put an end to the war."

Another student involved in the protest, junior Marian Gibfried, said, "I'm showing solidarity for those who died in war. Soldiers need to be recognized as people. I think there is a fear on campus to express opinion and that's significant."

Many negative feelings ·arose concerning the mock death protestors. Cabrini student John Clemens said, "Someone should do something about this. If they don't like it they should go live in Iraq, and see how they like that."

"Their protesting is a joke. This is when our country needs us the most and this is what they're doing," freshman Mark Martino said,

The anti-war protestors drew chalk outlines of dead soldiers with the words "missile strike" on the road. Sophomore Michael Sofia, who has an older brother and cousin in Iraq, was disgusted.

"The dead body drawings are highly insensitive," he said.

Across the street from Founders Hall about twenty students protested in favor of the war. There stood freshman Ray Croce holding an American flag high above his head.

"War is in our best interest as the Iraqi people need to be liberated," Croce said. "I respect their protest, but where were they when Saddam was killing and torturing his own people?"

The protesting went on throughout the early afternoon. Charlie Shaffner, director of public safety, and three other public safety officers watched on. Shaffner said, "Everyone has the right to express their opinion. As long as it's peaceful I encourage it."

Many voiced their opinion that afternoon. Junior Matt Gallagher said, "I give the protestors credit. It takes a lot of heart."

U.S. troops 50 miles from Baghdad

'Sibs 'n' kids': fun for all ages

Fifty miles in Pennsylvania could measure almost the distance from Philadelphia to the Lehigh Valley. For the troops pushing towards the Iraqi city of Bahgdad, 50 miles means the difference between victory or defeat. On Tuesday April 1, the decision was made to push those 50 miles.

From the start of the war, prior to the ground attacks, the United States stunned Iraq with its "shock and awe'' campaign. "The U.S. has virtually total air superiority. Air is critical. The United States enjoys this:' history and political science professor Jolyon Girard said.

The American people, as well as the civilian levels of government, feel that the war was going to be a ''cake-walk" according to Dr. James Hedtke, chair of the history political science department. "Bottom line, I do not think the U.S. military ever thought it would as they led to people to believe," Hedtke said,

"The lraqi regime is very dangerous, not only to its own citizens, but to its neighboring nations as well The American people should now support their troops who are working to succeed in eliminating this terror," senior history political science major, William Murphy said.

According to Hedtke, as the United States moves towards its goal of liberating the people of Iraq. they must also convince the ~es natives that this war is not for invasi~ but for the true meaning of ftceing the people from the dangcrou Iraqi regime. aftermath. of this war is veryimportant, according to Ginud.

Spring has arrived to our, once snow-covered, campus and given students a chance to take a breather and act like kids again. The first weekend of_spring could not have come at a better time.

The warm sun and the cool breeze set the stage for Cabrini College's "Sibs 'n' Kids" weekend. In order to accommodate more children who are involved with Cabrini students, the name of the -event was changed from "Siblings Weekend" to "Sibs 'n' Kids" weekend. Senior John Verdi, co-chair of the event, said that they wanted to make the weekend more appealing to everyone involved. Verdi is in his second year of coordinating the event.

The weekend kicked off on Friday night with the first-ever Cabrini Idol where attendance included parents, students, sibs andkids alike. Saturdayboasteda carnival from 2-5 at the Dixon Center. The events included a moonbounce,challenginggames, free food, and karaokefor kids of all ages.Over200 peopleattended the carnival,makingit one of the biggest •events of the weekend. The kids continuedtheirweekend

at Cabrini College with a screening of the animated Disney hit, "Monsters, Inc." Saturday night concluded with a "sleepover'' for kids and students sponsored by Residence Life in the New Residence Hall. There was roughly 25 people who attended the sleepover. The kids set up a station to play video games and another area to play "beauty salon."

Sunday concluded the weekend with another showing of "Monsters, Inc." and a dessert treat of "Sunday Sundaes," all which were free.

Verdi said that because the CAP board was away at a conference for the weekend, they were vecy short-staffed. However, they were bmµbarded with people who were eager to volunteer their time and staff many of the events. "We had a lot of siblings stay on campus," Verdi said, "those all the way from Xavier to the CAC. A lot of commuters also came up for the events. There was even a family in house 5 that had a huge family dinner that they celebrated with their Cabrini student."

Sophomore John Mathis had his IO year old brother Jimmy up Friday night through Saturday. Friday night, Mathis took his brother to see "The Lion King" on the IMAX. They took part in the

carnival on Saturday as well. It was clear that Jimmy had a great time during his first weekend at college. "He said he couldn't wait to go to college because it looked like so much fun. I took him home on Saturday night and he didn't talk to me the whole way because he didn't want to leave. He was so mad" Mathis said. His brother even loved the cafeteria food; he thought it was the best buffet ever.

Sophomore Michelle Murray volunteered for the weekend and helped out with the popcorn and cotton candy. Murray felt as though they had a great turnout for the weekend; so great that many of the kids didn't want to leave. "It was nice to see everyone that came out having a good time. I'm glad I had the chance to be a part of that," Murray said.

Overall, the turnout for the weeke.nd seems to have been much better then anticipated. "We couldn't thank Kymber Lovett, resident director of Woodcrest, enough for co-advising the event. She is amazing! And of course, we couldn't forget Jason Bozzone for his impeccable advising," Verdi said. With the success of this year's "Sibs 'n' Kids" weekend, next years should be just as good.

Hands-on experience and networking proves a plus for current science majors

LAUREN MINEO ASST. MANAGING EDITOR

Science majors will be equipped with a fiercer competitive edge come November of2005 when the new science building opens for classes. Until then, these students must continue on their career paths by acquiring internship experience, networking and maintaining an impressive grade point average.

Aside from the new technology that they will have access to, science majors will possibly be working amongst a small biotechnology or science company. In the building, a particular space is

being saved in hopes that Cabrini will be able to lease the area to a small or beginning science company. "Hopefully this will provide student internships 'in-house' and provide exciting collaboration opportunities for faculty," Dr. Kimberly Boyd, assistant professor of biology, said.

Dr. Sherry Fuller-Espie, chair of the Science Department, believes that the new facility will entice SEPCHE to "join forces" with Cabrini, meaning guest speakers and summer lectures will possibly be more readily accessible. The building will bring opportunities to Cabrini's students as well as to the college itself.

Some students are not able to see the opportunities that are already before them, and there are many. To find jobs to increase skills in the sciences, openings can be found in the Philadelphia Inquirer, on monster.com, in the journal, "Science" and through placement agencies that require the temporary fill of positions such as Yoh Scientific and Kelly Scientific Resources. These companies can provide temporary positions at large corporations like Merck and GlaxoSmithKline that can "lead to better things," FullerEspie said.

Boyd and Fuller-Espie equally stressed the importance of contact

JUSTBECAUSEIT'S (l\J SALElXESN'TMEAN YOJ CANAFFffiD IT.

with department faculty members. "Develop very strong ties with your faculty. They will write recommendations for you and they are a wealth of knowledge," Fuller-Espie said. Because the faculty have been members of the scientific community for a long period of time, they have brought with them all of the contacts that they made and are able to lend these to their students.

One prevalent aspect with a positive outcome of many majors is the internship. Internships are mandatory for all science majors, meaning that they receive some type of hands-on experience before they leave Cabrini College.

"Roll up your sleeves. Get your hands dirty," Fuller-Espie said. Here, students learn skills that they can apply to jobs and even to interviews.

With every field, interviewing proficiency is essential to attaining key jobs and the field of science is no different, mentioned Boyd. Those in the science department have proved themselves so far in their fields. "Our majors are very successful at finding jobs and advancing quickly once there," Boyd said.

Jazzman's to replace Food Court

CRAIG VAGELL GUEST WRITER

On March 13, Wood Dining Administrators crune together with students to propose a design for the current food court located in the Widener Center: Jazzman's Cafe.

George Cashmark, the district manager of Wood Dining services explained the new design created by architect Mark Connor of Connor Architect.

Jazzrrum's will offer a jazz-like theme and will be featuring a variety of coffees, teas, freshly baked pastries, desserts, grab-and-go salads, smoothies, and gourmet sandwiches.

According to Cashmark, Jazzman's has been implemented in over sixty college settings, including Leigh University, Kutztown University, Lafayette College, and most recently North and South Carolina Universities.

Edward Houseman, sophomore, said, "Jazzman's will bring a night life to Cabrini."

The students who attended the meeting proposed that the hours for weekdays, weeknights and weekends, be extended. Jazzman's will be completed for the fall of 2003. Jazzman's will have a variety of seating arrangements, including a restaurant style theme as well as an onthe-go setting. Jazzman's will have several islands where the students can pay at different points; this will eliminate waiting in line for one register.

The Wood Administration would also like to offer a programming space for events run on-campus. Connor said, "This will be a desti• nation, different from other places on campus, I feel it will be a unique experience for each student."

More meetings are planned for the next couple of months, as the final decisions are made for Jazzman's. Wood Dining is very excited and working very hard to bring this innovative dining experience to the college.

Increased security for students studying abroad

SHARVON URBANNAVAGE MANAGINGEDITOR

With tensions rising throughout the world, study abroad students remain overseas to continue a once in a lifetime experience, which has now become even more so unique.

Cabrini currently has three students studying abroad in both Italy and Australia. Although not in the direct line of fire, these students are feeling the effects of the current conflict with Iraq whether or not they agree with decisions of the American government.

"I have changed some habits," junior Diana Moscariello said. "I don't wear anything with an American flag on it, and I also avoid a place here called 'Campo di Fiori,' because it is known as an American hang-out." Moscariello is now in Italy studying at the American University in Rome, where several security precautions have been issued to protect the safety of the students.

"Each institution has developed and has enforced its own security measures," Dr. Nicholas Uliano, study abroad program coordinator, said.

Even though prospects of war were forthcoming for some time, some students did not allow the current status of American foreign affairs deter them from pursuing a study abroad experience.

"Studying abroad during this

time of tension was not really an issue for me. It was either now or never because junior year is the time to study abroad," Moscariello said. "I personally have not been subjected to any anti-American sentiments while I have been in Italy, but I know that it is out there so I try to be careful."

Anti-American sentiments are not uncommon while traveling or living overseas. Dr. Harold William Halbert, English professor, witnessed negative responses and heinous actions against Americans while living in Germany from the ages of four to eight. "I was very aware that we were Americans because on the [Army] base it was safe, but off the base, you really had to think about what you were doing."

Halbert, at a young age, witnessed the actions of a German terrorist group, in which an American general's car was blown up. "It was a bit of a culture shock when we returned to America. Over there you were an American. It wasn't about what part you were from, so it was weird when people here would ask."

However, Uliano does not want students to be reluctant about studying abroad in upcoming semesters. "Interest in the study abroad programs has not been affected by the current situation.

Over 15 students will be studying abroad during the 2003-04 academic year," he said. "Unless some

unexpected event were to drastically change the world situation, student can and should feel comfortable in continuing to plan for their study abroad experience. Risk is certainly a part of everyday life. However, precautions may be taken in an effort to reduced that risk."

As for the students currently abroad, they will finish the semester overseas before coming back to America. "I have not considered coming home earlier because of the current war status. Unless something big happens, I will stay until I have planned," Moscariello, who is slated to return on May I 0, said.

Increased security procedures include:

• Premises are under 24-hour video surveillance. Students access the building only with new security cards.

• Uniformed guards are present at entrances.

• Advisories from the U.S. State Department are posted.

• Security briefings for the students are held on a regular basis.

• The students have an emergency university cell phone number which can be used after-hours.

Missing fire extinguishers hazardous to residents

Rosm GONZALEZ ASST. FEATURESEDITOR

If there was a fire at Cabrini, there is no sure way to know whether or not the student population would be safe.

Smoke detectors and fire alarms may be available to give warnings, but they are not any good if extinguishers are not available for use.

"The problem with this is that if there is a fire, it will not be able to be put out right away," Charlie Schaffner, director of Public Safety, said.

Their purpose is to put out fires, but at Cabrini, extinguishers have been used as a means for entertainment among the students. Residents and guests on campus use extinguishers to spray each other for fun or to have fights with them.

"I think that's scary and it makes me feel unsafe. I can't believe students would be so irresponsible to put others' lives in danger. I think those responsible should be severely punished or fined," Stephanie Heinz, junior and resident assistant at Woodcrest, said.

An incident occurred in the third floor laundry room of the Cabrini Apartment Complex, in which the lint trap of a dryer caught on fire. There are supposed to be two fire extinguishers handy on each floor of the CAC, and there was not one available for use.

"Fortunately no one got hurt. To put out the fire, I had to run downstairs to the second floor and

get a fire extinguisher from there," Angie

Hodgeman, coordinator

of residence life and resident director of the CAC, said.

The resident assistant of the third floor in CAC notified public safety and the fire extinguisher was replaced the very next day.

"We usually find that the fire extinguishers are missing when office~ on-duty patrol the residential areas, but if anyone else finds that they are missing and lets us know, they are greatly appreciated," Schaffner said.

As important as extinguishers are, they are missing all around campus, even though $1500 was spent to replace them all around the school last August.

"As a result of last year's damages, we had to go and replace every missing fire extinguisher and smoke detector. This has been a continuing problem ever since I have been at Cabrini," Schaffner said.

Due to the students using the fire extinguishers as toys to spray each other, housekeeping and facilities must clean up after them. It gives the school's staff, unnecessary extra work to do.

"Replacements for the fire extinguishers are available, but that does not mean that the students should be playing around with them. It causes more work for everyone here," Schaffner said.

Students pay enough money to take classes and get their education. There really is no point to go about destroying property and having to pay more money than necessary to live on school property.

"Depending on how major the damages are and who steps forward in taking responsibility that is how much is charged. If we do not know who is responsible then the whole area is charged," Schaffner said.

Not having any fire extinguishers on hand for any kind of emergency - small or large - is a major fire hazard.

"It makes me feel scared because what if there is a fire and there isn't an extinguisher near by

that can be used? The fear of death would be flying through my head, or the fact that the residents couldn't get out in time, and it [the fire] would spread," sophomore Stephanie Moffa said.

A lack of fire extinguishers seems to be a big problem that a lot of students do not know about, at Cabrini.

"I think we need the fire extinguishers to make us feel safe because we could have a fire at any given time," freshman Elidari

Ramos said.

If every single detail that sways its way across campus is not known, then the fact that there is a fire extinguisher missing right next to someone's dorm room is very likely.

"The best you can do to prevent the worst from happening is to follow the rules and to listen to the fire alarms. Even if there is no fire, the only way to know that you'll be safe is to exit in an effective manner," Schaffner said.

·Quiet on the set! It is time for Cabrini's spring performance of "Cinderella Waltz." A crazy, comedic, hillbilly version of Cinderella with a twist of class.

KATIEREJNG/l'HoroEDITOR

The cast of"Cinderella Waltz" poses during rehearsal on April I.

Directors, senior Kit Dewey, and junior Haven McMiclde are more than excited to be directing the show and enjoy working with the small, hard-working cast.

"It's a Cinderella story set in hicksville with a twisted ending. The waltzing is the only remain-

ing elegance in the story;' Dewey said.

"We're both interested in drama therapy and Neal knew that so he asked us [to direct]," McMickle said. "

When going to see this play, the audience will not be sitting in the typical stadium-style setting, rather an arena setting where an estimated 60 people can sit on three different sides of the stage. This is a unique experience for not only the actors, but also the audience because they will feel as though they are a part of this offthe-wall Cinderella story.

"This show is different from other plays we've done here, because it's a straight comedy and we don't usually do them. It's a really funny play," Dewey said.

According to McMickle, plays performed in the Red Cloud Coffeehouse are usually based on reality, whereas "Cinderella Waltz" requires imagination. It's based on a fantasy world.

The curtain will open on April 4 and 5, and April 10-12, starting at 8 p.m. in the Red Cloud Coffeehouse in Grace Hall. There is a $10 general admission fee for the public, and students with college identification will be admitted for $5.

It's a job that anyone can do, but only the chosen ones are successful. Comedy. The mastery of causing pleasurable pain and tears of joy through overwhelming laughter is a gift bestowed upon as Bill Burr and Mark Reedy, who appeared at Cabrini Comedy Central on Tuesday, April 1 in the Grace Hall Atrium. This event, sponsored by the Campus Activities and Programming Board, drew nearly 80 students out of their dorms. "It was fabulous. I think it was a great response from the crowd," sophomore Craig Vagell, CAP Board treasurer, said. "I think we put a really great event together!'

Vagell, along with other coordinators from CAP Board crossed paths with both Burr and Reedy at the National

"Whenever we go to these conferences, we do a 'politically correct' act, since no one wants to bring 'bad people' to their schools," Burr said "Then once we get to the school we do whatever the hell we want." Burr is a Massachusetts native cutrently living in New York City, N.Y.

"I always wanted to be a comedian, I just never said it out loud because I didn't want people telling me it was a crazy idea," he said Burrparticipated in a talent contest while in college, and although he did not win "it felt right." Burr said, "Plus it beats having a realjob."

Burr's performance was preceded by Reedy, who hails from Chicago, IIL, and is currently in transition between Cleveland, Ohio, and New York. "The thing about us is that we pride ourselves in being college comedians. Not everyone can do it." Because of the requirements to tone down language and content, Reedy, along with Burr,are a few e~ceptions that can entertain a college crowd for extended periods of time while keeping the subject matter at a respectable level.

'Twelfth Night;' A night to remember

KENDALL NEIL ASST. A&E EDITOR

How do you take an older play and relate it back to the world that we live in today? That was the challenge presented to director Whit MacLaughlin when he took on the task to direct Shakespeare's --Twelfth Night or what you will."MacLaughlin has a special intrigue for the mtd-l 950s. With this in mind, he brought this older play to life in a vibrant and more modern setting while keeping the words of Shakespeare intact. Place: Illyria, a town on the seacoast of Italy. Time: 1957: postwar.

One of the most entertaining characters was Sir Andrew Aguecheek played by Scott Drummond. In his first appearance in the play, he rides an electric scooter across the staged boardwalk that overlooks the gleaming ocean, while proudly raising his middle finger high in the air. His goofy and idiotic statements provide the comic relief in the play. He is the typical character that gave the audience enough shock appeal to laugh at his childish antics.

A new interesting spin on the play was the addition of musical interludes sung by Bev Appleton who played the role of Feste, Olivia's jester or clown. Appleton brought back the classics of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley and related them to the words of Shakespeare. When the language seemed to be too much to take, the musical sty lings of Appleton brought the crowd to smiles with the familiar tunes and lyrics of the l 950's.

Stay wide AWAKE

JANA FAGOTTI ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Tired? Rundown? Stressed out? There is a solution, folks, and, today, I am here to tell you just whafit will take to keep you bright-eyed and bushytailed for the next eight weeks of classes. Th_is remedy has been proven effective since 1997 and can be yours for free. "What is it,'' you ask. AWAKE,a band. Yes, music can actually get you through it all. Don't believe me? Let's ask Joe.

Scene: Drexel Hill, Pa, 1997.

'Twelfth Night' will be playing at the ArdenTheatre until April 13.

Steve Tague played the dry humored Malvolio. Throughout the play, he is .ridiculed and the butt of people's jokes. In a society where one would think outsiders such as Malvolio would be helped to try to become the society norm, he is constantly kept outside the circle and merely kept around to entertain the main characters. Tague does an excellent job portraying this bland character.

The play boasts Nancy Boykin who played the part of Olivia, which was her first professional role and Patrick Brinker who played Orsino who is "delighted to be back at the Arden Theatre." These among others bring this play from the time of Shakespeare to life in a realm of music, lights, color and vibrant energy.

"Twelfth Night or what you will" will be showing until April I 3,at the Arden Theatre. For show times and tickets visit www.ardentheatre.org.

• Joe Gallo. Mike Myers and Mike O'Brien were high school students who played together for fun. Joe played bass, O'Brien was on lead vocals, and Myers was on guitar.

"We just started playing together, writing stuff for the fun of it, and really just messing around," Gallo said.

But, as time went on Gallo,

• Myers and O'Brien realized that what they were writing was more than just "messing around" and they began taking it more seriously. Chris Stackhouse was soon added to band as the second guitarist in January of 2001.

Scott Gaydos soon followed as the drummer added that same summer.

Gallo admits that the band is hard to classify. "All of our songs are very intense, melodic, catchy, and different," Gallo said.

Bands such as Alice in Chains, Tool, and Dream Theater originally inspired the band. AWAKE

feels that they, too, can make it to the top and feel that they possess the talent and desire to do just so.

"We also know how tricky the music business can be:' Gallo said. "So for now we are focused on smaller goals, which are just to play as many shows as possible, get as many people hooked as we can, and use any money we make to record a new CD."

Do not fret folks, AWAKE is music for anyone, any age, anytime. "All of our stuff is pretty easy to listen to, and we have a very wide fan base as well, old people, young people, and everyone in between," Gallo said.

Gallo admits that the band does not have a particular 'message' that their music send out but just a concept that encourages taking out of their music "whatever you can."

"A lot of our songs are about just dealing with life, people, situations, that everyone comes across and just conveying feeling and energy and emotion through music," Gallo said.

There you have it, folks, a simple and easy solution for college survival. A band guaranteed to keepyou wide: AWAKE.

Mike Tilelli, junior, recounts the history of his grandf Giardello, a top middleweight contender for 15 years, had

"From chwnp to champ!" Those were the words used by Joey Giardello to explain the first fifteen years of his boxing career. As far back as he could remember, Carmine Tilelli, better known as Joey Giardello, always wanted to be a fighter. Born in Brooklyn, on July 16th, 1930, Giardello was always known as a fighter. Everyday after school he would challenge some one to a fight. He fought for his brothers, and to let everyone in his neighborhood know he was the boss.

As Carmine grew older, his reputation as a fighter grew larger and larger. Fighting came natural to him and his will to win was insurmountable. By the age of sixteen. Carmine was bored with the neighborhood and felt that it was time to move on, so he followed in the footsteps of his older brothers and joined the Army. Although he was to young to join the Army, he got a fake I.D. and went by the name Joey Giardello. He soon joined the 82nd airborne and fell in love with the army life. He loved the training, but most of all he loved jwnping out of planes. Although he loved the Army, it was soon found out that he was to young to serve, and he was asked to leave.

Although he was disappointed, Carmine kept his faith in God and moved to Philadelphia. Since he did not have a lot of money, he was left with no other option than to become a professional fighter. In 1948 in Trenton. the career of Joey Giardello began with no amateur experience. His first fight was a four round fight that paid him twenty-five dollars. A natural to the sport, Giardello started taking fights whenever he could. He would fight two or more times a month, and his reputation began to grow as he won his first twenty. The thing that amazed many was that Giardello was not much of a trainer. He would run and work out, but not as much as other fighters. While in Philadelphia Giardello met Rosalie Monzo and the two quick.Jyfell in love. This was the turning point in Giardello 's career, because he got married, and like every other man he wanted to give his wife everything she wanted.

The newly married Giardello, was focused and ready to go. He was quickly building a fan base in Philadelphia and at the same time he began climbing the ranks of the middleweight division. In the 1950's there was an abundance of great fighters in the middleweight division. Everyone from Gene Fullmer, Henry Hank, Dick Tiger, and "Sugar" Ray Robinson wanted to be champion; these men fought for pride and championships. In this era fighters didn't make that much money because there was no Pay-Per-View or HBO. There was no pre- fight build up to put people in the seats, it was just boxing to be nwnber one.

Giardello fit in perfectly with all of these fighters. He was determined to become one of the greats. Rapidly climbing the ranks with his counter- punching style, Giardello was looking for his chance to fight for the title, and finally, in 1960 he got a chance to fight Gene Fullmer for the championship. It was a lopsided fifteen round fight that Giardello was believed to have won, but the decision ended up being a draw. Giardello was very disappointed by the decision and was unable to get a rematch with Fullmer. Now Giardello was lost in the shuffle and with so many other great fighters in his division it would be years before he would get another chance at making history.

As the years went by Giardello was making history in other ways. He became the one and only fighter to score three knockouts in three consecutive months at Madison Square Garden. His career gave him many opportunities to travel around the world. He was able to fight all over Europe and the U.S. As his career moved on Giardello kept on fighting anyone that was willing to stand in the ring with him. As the years went

Studentsabroadcan help skeWedview of America

For students venturing to study abroad, security should be the principal concern. To help ensure students' safety, each institution accepting Cabrini students has developed enhanced security measures.

At the American University of Rome, for example, students are given an emergency university cell phone number that can be used after hours. To keep outsiders out, students can only enter the buildings with new identifi~tion cards, which were issued on March 17, the date of the final ultimatum from President Bush to Saddam Hussein. The campus is also under 24-hour video surveillance.

With America and allies fighting a war Viewedby much of the global community as unjust, it is important that students understand the difference between beinga student in Americaand being a student overseas. Most people around the world view Americans positively just as we Americans view students at Cabrini from other countries positively. Most people can separate their opinions of what a government is doing from what individual

students studying abroad do. But we have to realize that many people in other countries don't agree with the war and so we should not be surprised to find anti-war protests and even anti-American-government protest there.

As students in America, we do not realize how the recent decisions of our government affect the world's view of Americans. Part of the reason for our skewed vision rests on the shoulders of the American media. We do not see what the rest of the world sees. the media in every country, America included, presents the newsfrom that country's point of view. We in America don't always realize that the news we see is not necessarily the news that people in other parts of the world see and vice versa. This confusion leads us to believe that the rest of the world is seeing similar coverage. But the world ls seeing the other side, the side that sometimes portrays America and its people as ignorant bullies.

When students study abroad, they are leaving behind the freedom of America. On American soil,

ou Speak ...

Would you still be a part of a study abroad program

if you could be harassed for being an American?

we become comfortable using associations, like anti-war or pro-America, as safety nets. But in other countries, Americans are not viewed as proor anti- anything, or even as Democrats or Republicans. Americans are seen one-dimensionally as Americans, which means that the decisions of the American government are decisions in our names.

Since much of the global community feels that Americans are ignorant, security abroad is necessary. The measures taken by the schools in Cabrini's study abroad program will help keep students safe, freeing their minds to absorb the customs of different cultures; This is a great time to study abroad because we will truly get new views of the world.

Our generation is expected to be on the b~nk of the next Greatest Gen~ration. For that to stand true, students studying abroad must bring home .the reasons for the slanted worldview of America. Only then will American students be able to take freedom abroad.

Yes, it makes no sense to limit your opportunities just because of what some ignorant people think about Americans.

Yes. I don't really care about what other people think.

Yes, because it won't make that big of a difference to me. I think the war will be over soon.

I might go but, I'd want to find out about the school I'm going to.

Core classes sold out to upperclassriten

I sure hope I graduate on time. I'm a junior, for those of you who don't know me, and I have some real problems for my last semester. First, I'll blame myself here. I sat in College Success seminar and listened to a senior talk about taking my distribution courses before my senior year. Foolishly, I went against all natural, rational thought and took about 44 credits of Communications, my major. I only need 24 credits for graduation.

So instead of screwing myself

in the last semester, I'm going nuts and taking the rest of my distributions in the fall. Sound good? Well, not really so good, but it sounds better than being that last semester senior who simply cannot fail if he or she wants to graduate. My plan looks ok now, in theory.

Now before we get out of hand, allow me to issue a warning and thanks. I recall a registrar perspective last year. Either that's true or my mind is playing tricks on me on this late layout night. Anywho, I have no problems with the registrar at all or in this perspective. I love the registrar. The people in that office have saved my skin on more than one occasion, and a special thanks to Camille Tinney who registered me on her lunch break.

Sacrifice teaches more than bargined for

Also, while I fucus on my problem with a science course, the rant _is rather broad, as my problem could be with any department. My problem is with not getting into classes. I understand a class fills up. This is not my problem. My problem is being shut out of a class I need to take. I've taken one science and lab, and I need one more science for completion. Here's my dilemma. I think it has something to do with learning communities.

"Health and the Human Body" sounds intriguing to me. Sounds good? Guess what. I can't take the one that fits my schedule. The reason for this is that it's freshman only. So now, I go off into my rant.

What's the deal with learning communities? Why is it that we, a

small s~hool, feel the need to jam people into the same classes with the same people over and over again? As if the school is small enough. Look at the staff of this paper. I've had classes with most of them for the last three years. I can't seem to shake Katie Hernson for the life of me. The thing is, do we really benefit from this program? I don't think so. College is about starting your new life before hitting the real world. So why should people be babied and kept from meeting new people? Here's my personal problem: I NEED ANOTHER SCIENCE. The one class I can take and that sounds intriguing is freshman only. How did this happen? Some people have just got to be thmking I can take something else and that I exaggerate. I'm taking 17.5

credits next semester and working an internship, so no, you're wrong.

Now what happens to me the next semester, in the spring, when there's about three classes offered and two are for freshman only or for more learning communities?

Look, I Jove Cabrini. I work my co-op here, I put more time in the Communications wing that I should. But quite frankly, I don't want to be here for more than four years. If Cabrini wants tny money, they need to wake up, otherwise, I'm sure Delaware County Community College can offer me a science in the summer. Last time I checked, we handle transfer credits.

Health fair worth more than just extra credit

I never knew how controlling salt could be.

For the Lenten season this year, I gave up sprinkling salt on food items. Every year I try and give up something that I know will be hard because I do not see a point in giving up something that will be easy to let go.

Many people, Catholic and non-Catholic, ask a valid question during the Lenten season: why give up anything at all?

The main reason a good majority of Catholics do not sacrifice anything for Lent is because they are too lazy, spoiled or greedy. These people are known as "Easter-Christmas" Catholics; the kind who go to mass on Clµistmas and Easter.

The reason I give up things for Lent is because _it teaches me about control and sacrifice. My family is a very devout religious family; unfortunately right now I do not fall under that category. But, because of tradition and what sacrificing still teaches me, I give things up for Lent.

Sacrificing a beloved item, whether it be food, soda, television, a favorite four-letter word or sodium chloride, instills control and an important lesson I have learned from the first time I started giving up things for Lent: it is hard to sacrifice what you love, but someone else is sacrificing something bigger and more difficult. • This year's Lenten sacrifice was especially important because I gave up the thing I love the most and did not cry about it this year because there are people in Iraq this very second fighting for their survival. Giving up taste in macaroni and cheese seems a lot Jess petty, doesn't it?

It's amazing that we have useful resources on this campus that most students just don't seem to take advantage of.

For instance, the annual Health Fair held at the Dix.on Center. I had an experience at one of these fairs that has forever changed my overall health.

Freshman year, I took a nutrition course in which we were offered extra credit if we attended the Health Fair and reported on one of the booths we visited.

I was too impatient to wait in line for a massage, so I decided to stop bY.the chiropractic table and have my back examined since I had been experiencing back pains for quite some time, but failed to

see a physician for it.

The visiting chiropractor took one look at my "pain check list" and said "You've got quite a lot of problems for someone who is only 19. Maybe we should schedule an appointment in the office for a more thorough exam."

Instantaneously, my first thought was "These people are scamming me so I will spend money on their services," However. I did take his comments into consideration and scheduled an appointment with a chiropractor in my neighborhood.

Upon examination of my xrays, it was discovered that I had vertebral subluxations. In Laymen's terms - my spine was twisted. Need a visual? Talce a strip of paper and twist it. 'fhat was my spine!

Then came the question of ·•How did this happen?"

Considering my accident-prone childhood, many factors could have contributed to my injury.

But which incident would be most logically matched with this injury? Then it hit me. Gymnastics! Of course I would be the only one in my seventhgrade gym class to get hurt during a back-walk-over gone awry, and like most junior high schools, the school nurse just gave me some ice and a Tylenol and sent me on my way, which became my personal solution for the pain from that point forward.

So there you have it. Due to the Health Fair, I because aware of an injury that I had been suffering from for more than five years, which could have led to even more serious problem if it had continued to go untreated. You never know what may be afflicting you, so drop by the Health Fair today. Amazing things could happen.

Lacrosse: brute strength against finesse

The two sports share the same name but differ in how the game is played.

ANTONIO MASONE ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

It is obvious to any spectator that the rough and rugged nature of men's lacrosse is so much more exciting to watch than the passive game of women's lacrosse.

The more aggressive style of play in men's lacrosse for the most part is due to the rules and regulations. In men's lacrosse, full body contact and stick-to-stick contact are legal. This makes for a very exciting game.

When watching womens's lacrosse, I sometimes feel like I am at a baseball game; the field is filled with dead balls and stopped clocks.

Today, lacrosse in general is a very tough sport in which to excel. Whether it be men's or women's lacrosse, both games require a tremendous amount of skill and athleticism.

When it comes to the two teams here at Cabrini, it is obvious that the men's team is much more devoted to the sport.

The women's lacrosse team had their cute little spring break trip to Florida. Over that week, that the women's team was laying by the pool and partying, with occasional practices scattered about. The men's team was busting their humps with two practices a day and playing game in between, all this in a town where WalMart was the main attraction.

All joking aside, we dedicate six days a week to the sport. During the season, lacrosse is mostly all we do. Beside school, and for some of us work, the rest of our time is filled with training, practices and games.

As for the women's team, I feel they sell themselves short. The team is composed of a great group of talented girls. Head coach Jackie Neary works extremely hard to get the girl prepared for the season. I have been told that team frequently has days off, and for the most part only practices on days prior to games. In my opinion they are comfortable where they are now and do not strive to move to the next level. But again, that is just my opinion.

JAMIE KNOBLER STAFF WRITER

It's the love for the game, not a battle of the sexes. Lacrosse however, is divided into the men's and women's game, which in ways are very similar and in others are very different.

Women's lacrosse is way less physical than men's. But because of the finesse and skill required by the women's game, there doesn't need to be as much violence on the field. Our stick checking is clean and off the body. We don't wear padding, therefore we risk being checked in the face and head, and risk having balls hit us at any moment. Having someone slash a stick inches from your face to gain ball possession is a bit more dangerous than being laid out on the field from a body check. I would completely rather someone knock me flat on the ground than having a stick slice my face open.

Something that separates the game between the sexes is the mentality and skill used. The women's game obviously uses more strategy than the men's. We can't run through five guys and expect to get a clear shot on goal. But because the guys have a deep pocket to hold the ball they can do that. We on the other hand have to constantly be on the move, desperately trying to lose our defender without the luxury of having a deep pocket to protect the ball. With the power of mind over matter and a hard cradle to hold the ball, women's lacrosse proves true to having more stick handling skills.

The Cabrini men's lacrosse team will be the first to point out how much more they practice than the women's team. Okay, so we don't practice everyday. But that doesn't affect the way we've won five consecutive PAC Championships and gotten to the second round of the NCAA's last year. It hasn't, and I don't think we plan on it either.

The members of the Women's lacrosse team play with the mindset of quality vs. quantity. As long as we are comfortable with our performance in an hours worth of practice, why should we feel

Cavs lose 6-5 in overtin1e

ANDY FI~LAY STAFFWRJTER

The emotions ran high and were quenched after a few minutes into overtime as Marymount topped the Cavaliers 6-5 on a rain-soaked field.

"I'm obviously disappointed with the team's performance. We didn't play well," head coach Steve Colfer said.

Marymount came ready to play on a very dark and cloudy day. The sun was hiding behind the dark clouds, the rain poured at times and drizzled throughout the game. Marymount would score the games first and last goals.

Despite the hard and aggressive play of the Cavaliers defense, Marymount held onto a 2-1 advantage ending the first quarter. A defensive battle ensued, and Cabrini trailed heading into halftime 4-3.

Heavy rain dominated the third quarter. Colorful umbrellas deco-

rated the sidelines. The rain caused the grass to become wet and slippery. Maintaining balance and footing was becoming a problem.

The Cavaliers produced many scoring opportunities as they fired away coming close on many occasions. With only l :48 left to play in regulation, Marymount scored increasing their lead to 53. Cabrini needed two goals in just less than two minutes.

Forty seconds remained as the Cavaliers scored, shrinking the lead to 5-4. About thirty seconds left when the ball dropped at midfield. It took only twenty seconds to score the tying goal.

Coach Colfer said, "This has never happened in the seven years I have been coaching here. The team showed heart and character with those two goals," Colfer said. The game was sent to overtime. "We have to learn from this and bounce back," Colfer said.

RYAN MULLOY I A&E f:DITOR

Some feel that to play sports, it talces talent and heart to succeed. Professional athletes use their talents to accomplish their dreams each season, at times, pushing their bodies to the limit. On March 30, a special group of these athletes came to showcase their talents in the Dixon Center. The major difference between athleteS and these kids is simple. These children are blind.

The rain was pouring down outside as student volunteers and children alike walked into the gym. With their accompanying parents, the children sat on the bleachers waiting for the day's activities to start. Leslie Danehy, associate athletic director, helped organi.ze the event with the Pennsylvania Association for Blind Athletes, a group that is dedicated to the upbringing of these visually impaired children.

The day's activities included several sports and workouts for the children, all gi\.;ng them a chance to round out their athletic abilities. The kids were spilt up into several groups and would move throughout the Dixon Center with "around 30 volunteers;' according to Danehy.

Located in the gym itself. kids began their dribbling and dunking skills at a lowered basketball net. One boy, who asked volunteers to call him "G-Money," began a challenge with volunteers to play one-on-one on a higher net. Across the gym floor, volunteers tapped the basketball glass so the athletes could hear the backboard. Two children, Rosemary and Matt, both succeeded in their shots. earning them rounds of applause as they excitedly jumped up and down.

In the squash courts, tennis coach Reggie Day showed the athletes how to play tennis. First be held a larger ball and tested their swings and aim, followed by a chance at the real game. The activity began with Day dropping tennis balls as the athletes listened for the sounds of the

bounce before swinging their rackets. Parents clapped and cheered from behind the glass and from above the courts as the athletes continued to impress onlookers.

Up the stairs, in the weight room, they used weight machines, treadmills, bikes and the row machine. Twelve year old Matt, saying he weight around 80 pounds, managed to lift 150 pounds, almost twice his body weight, while 8 year old Anthony worked on the rowing machine. Anthony father watched over him the entire day and talked about his vision impairment, saying how it is hardly a setback. "Anthony does everything," he said "He's got brothers and sisters who he does things with, whether it's skateboarding or surfing. He even wrestles."

While in the aerobics room,

the kids practiced tumbling and soccer with larger balls. Volunteers lined up several of the balls while young Rosemary kicked with an of her might to waiting volunteers. While practicing tumbling and rolling, one of the youngsters even managed to puts his legs behind his bead and walk on bis hands.

At the conclusion of the day, the youngsters jumped into the pool with their volunteers, swimming laps and playing games with each other. Once they were finished their swim, they left the Dixon Center and went out into the falling March snow. The children left with their parents, driving home to remember their activities. Though they could not see the day they experienced, the smiles on their faces showed that it was something they would never forget.

Cabrini's roller hockey team ended its regular season with a win against St. Joseph's 2, 9-1 on Sunday, March 31, at the Marple Sports Arena. This win gave the Cavaliers a 12-4 record, enough to put them into third place for the playoffs.

The top three seeds in the playoffs belong to St. Joseph's I, Lehigh University and Cabrini.

Drexel 1 is the team to beat with a record of 13-3. Sophomore Rich Dematteo feels that it will be Drexel and Cabrini in the Championships.

The Cavaliers only have one practice a week on Fridays from 1 p.m.- 3 p.m. However, many players miss the practices due to classes or conflicts with other sports.

Despite not having optimal practice time, the Cavaliers have • managed to stay on top of the standings in their conference.

Dematteo was chosen by both the players and coaches in the league to represent Cabrini in the roller hockey all-star game. The game was held at the Marple Sports Arena on Saturday, March 29, and it featured the North West Conference vs. the South East Conference. Dematteo was also chosen as the games most valuable player.

Cabrini begins its playoff run on Saturday, April 12 against St. Joseph's 2 at 6 p.m. at the Marple Sports Arena. If the Cavaliers advance to the second round of the playoffs they will face either second ranked Lehigh or seventh ranked Philadelphia University 2 on Sunday, April 14.

Men's Lacrosse dominates over Neumann 18-5

JACKIE FREESE ASST. PERSPECTIVES EDITOR

As gray clouds hovered over the field at Neumann College and raindrops started sprinkling down, junior attack Sean Gracey saw his mark.

Gracey, a junior hailing from Philadelphia, came off the bench for injured attack Mike Piccoli and scored five goals in the men's lacrosse game against Neumann College on Wednesday, March 26 as Cabrini defeated Neumann 185.

The rain apparently did not deter Cabrini's concentration and execution. The Cavaliers came out fierce in the first quarter, firing 11 goals into Neumann's net.

"The offense exploded in the first quarter," Piccoli said.

"When you play a spring sport you have to deal with the spring

rain," head coach Steve Colfer said. "Conditions are sloppy and the play gets sloppy, but the rain did not affect us too much."

Gracey had a lot of help from his teammates. Sophomore midfielder Rory Friel had two goals and six assists and junior goalie Antonio Masone had 10 shots fired at him, saving seven of them.

"The whole team executed very well," Colfer said.

The game was especially important because Neumann is a rival in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference.

"We knew if we executed and played our style, we could control the action," Colfer said. "We really dictated the flow and frustrated Neumann early."

The Cavaliers will next play College Misericordia on Friday, April 5 at 1 p.m.
