The program, which began this year, provides participants with the opportunity to perfect their leadership talents and prepare for a career in the business field. The executive advisers will serve as mentors to the students through- - out the year and put them in contact with the business .field. They may also help them obtain future internships. Seven members comprise the advisory board: Frank E. Apostolico, · chief rmancial officer of Specialty Records; Jeanne Bovard, executive director of the Scranton Area Foundation; Jolm T. Cognetti, president of the Prudential Hinerfeld Realty Co.; Marl!!: E. Hacker, plant manager for Procter and Gamble Paper Products Company; David Hawk, vice presi­ dent for Gertrude Hawk Chocolates; Edward J. Manley, president of Aureus Ltd.; and David Trussler, executive director of the University's McDade Center. At the breakfast, the advisers reinforced the importance of developing leadership skills in the management field and related some of the struggles that accompany leadership. "You're going to run into roadblocks ... and I think it's very important as a leader that you understand how to address these roadblocks," Hacker said. George Babcock, assistant dean of the School of Management, devel­ oped the two-year program. and Robert McKeage, professor of manage­ ment, directs it. Admissions requirements are strict, as only 15 sopho­ mores are accepted each spring.

Royals peck A commonly good race Red Hawks By ROBERT KEENAN Aquinas Staff Writer In the women's soccer game against Dickinson College on Wednes­ day, Senior Kathy Loretangeli's goal midway through the second half proved the game winner. The goal was I..oretangeli's fourth of the week. Renee Zizza had the assist Scranton moves to 9-3-1 and is undefeated in MAC play. Coming back from an early 1-0 deficit the Lady Royals' soccer team crushed Montclair State, 4-1, on Saturday. Loretangeli's hat trick pro­ pelled the Lady Royals. Montclair's Karen Voorllies took a pass from teammate Nicole San­ domeno and blasted it into the net less than five minutes into the game. Scranton bounced back when Loretangeli rolled a ball by into the left corner of the net to score her fli'St goal. Sophomore Erika Verderber collected her frrst of two assists on the play. Less than. two minutes later Verderber shot a ball which bounced off Montclair State goalie Kim Grager. Loretangeli slid in between two defenders and netted the rebound The goal put Scranton up 2-1 and would prove to be the winning goal. Loretangeli's third goal came midway through the second half when she was awarded a goal kick. Loretangeli rocketed the ball past Drager to put the game far out of reach for Montclair. "Kathy played a very good game," Head Coach Joesph Bochicchio said "She has been under a lot of pressure, and now maybe she can relax more." "We have never played so poorly in the three years that I have been coaching this team," Montclair State Head Coach Peter Latartara said "Scranton played with great determination The better team won." Scranton goalie junior Lori Murphy stepped on the field for the first time in a month. Murphy broke her leg in the first game of the season. She played during the closing minutes of the game. "It felt great to play," Murphy said ''We'll have to see how the leg is going to hold up." Scranton rolled by Drew University 2-0 on Thursday. They took home Aquinas photo/SCOTT IRVIN the victory due to their team taking 31 shots on goal while only allowing . two shots to be taken on Feeney.
