SOARING THROUGH Which Hawk Hill FINALS WEEK ON Fashionista Are You? KELLY WITTMAN ’17 HAWK HILL Assistant Lifestyle Editor

A GUIDE FROM DWIGHT SCHRUTE

ASHLEY CAPETTA ’17 Copy Chief

1. Pick your favorite pair of shoes a.a.Sperry’s Sperry’s

b. Heels b. Heels

c. c.

Ugg Boots Ugg Boots

NikeSneak sneakers d.d.Nike

2. Pick your favorite Campion cuisine 1. Use that brain power, kids “Through concentration, I can raise and lower my cholesterol at will.”

We are no strangers to having to finish insane amounts of work in short periods of time. Think of finals week as a concentrated amount of work from each individual class. Concentrate closely on the tests in the order of difficulty, make a study schedule and as Dwight says… Keep that cholesterol down and avoid multiple trips to DB. 2. The newbies in the lib “Why are all these people here? There are too many people on this earth. We need a new plague.”

Who are all these people? Some random kid sitting in your second floor spot? Keep your cool. There are tons of other comfy spots in the library. If things get too crazy, try studying in Wolfington, the Merion Hall Atrium or even on the second floor of Campion—oh, and avoid the plague at all costs by visiting the Health Center in Sourin.

3. Avoid stress “Nothing stresses me out. Except having to seek the approval of my inferiors.”

c.c.Sala Salad

d. Cookies

3. Pick your favorite Hawk Hill building a. Merion Hall

b. Mandeville Hall

c. Science Center

4. Choose your favorite St. Joe’s event a. Papal visit

b. Holy War

c. Spring Concert

d. Black and White Ball

a. Phila. Magic Gardens

c. Mad River

d. Larry’s Cheesesteaks

6. Pick a Saint Joseph’s University Slogan

4. Believe in your capabilities; be ready to face this week.

“I am ready to face any challenge that might be foolish enough to face me.”

Preparation is everything. Work with classmates, take time to talk to your professor—take hold of every opportunity to maximize your understanding of the subject before the big test. Be ready for any challenge. Avoid any of the Jim Halperts in your life this week, too, just for good measure!

5. You are a Hawk. You are a hero. You got this.

“No, don’t call me a hero. Do you know who the real heroes are? The guys who wake up every morning and go into their normal jobs, and get a distress call from the Commissioner and take off their glasses and change into capes and fly around fighting crime. Those are the real heroes.”

Do what you need to do to stay focused during this week. This will be a challenging few days, but its all about maintaining a positive outlook. If you need to wear a cape to your final, no judgement, we understand. Soar through this finals week, Hawk, and be your own kind of hero.

Mostly A’s: Merion Hall hipster

b. Pizza b. Pizza

5. Pick your favorite hawk “hot spot:”

Stress is the only thing that can truly destroy you during the week of finals. Don’t let it. Get regular amounts of sleep, watch your coffee intake, stick to a study schedule, and most importantly take time away from your work—check out Paws in the library (there are puppies!) or stop by Wolfington for one of their many scheduled study breaks.

ERIN RAFTERY ’15 News Editor

ayor Michael Nutter’s decision to sign into law a bill that would decriminalize small amounts of marijuana in Philadelphia will affect Saint Joseph’s University students, whose campus extends into both the city of Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township, divided by City Avenue.

Councilman-At-Large James Kenney introduced the bill in May, which stated that anyone possessing under an ounce of marijuana would be charged with a $25 fine and a citation.

But harsher penalties were added by the Nutter administration, resulting in a compromise on the bill, these changes stated that a person caught smoking in public would be charged with a noncriminal summary offense and a $100 fine, which can be substituted for nine hours of community service. In either situation, a person possessing less than an ounce of marijuana would not be charged criminally or be arrested.

The Philadelphia City Council voted 13-3 to pass this bill decriminalizing marijuana in June, and Nutter officially agreed to sign it into law on Sept. 8.

Preventing plagiarism Possible online education program for incoming freshmen

ANTHONY PANVINI ’16 Assistant Sports Editor Recently, the Saint Joseph’s University Academic Honesty Board (AHB) and Academic Integrity Council (AIC) have been working on a solution to further educate students on how to avoid committing acts of plagiarism.

One solution includes requiring freshmen to take an online e-learning tutorial before entering St. Joe’s.

David Steingard, Ph.D., associate professor of management and the chair of the AIC, hopes that this will be taken seriously by students and educate them so that they

Although Nutter agreed to sign the bill, it most likely will not be signed for another two weeks. “...I didn’t get one negative phone call about this issue from anyone after it passed, and I think people understand it’s 2014, the country is moving toward legalization, there is no reason for Philadelphia to be so backwards that it arrests people for this kind of behavior,” said Kenney.

Due to students living or attending classes on the Overbrook side of campus, which is in Philadelphia, one would assume that St. Joe’s must change its drug policy to adjust to the new bill.

However, according to John Gallagher, director of public safety and retired Philadelphia Police Commander, Mark Lemon, public safety investigator and retired Detective Sergeant of Wilmington, and William Bordak, director of Community Standards, the St. Joe’s drug policy will not be changing at this time.

“We would like to have a two-prong approach to that. One is we would like to have more involvement in orientation up front. And two, as far as the actual effectiveness of the tutorial, there are ways to construct and deliver e-learning where there is a higher level of content absorption and application,” said Steingard. “We would like the tutorial to be effective in communicating not just the proper way to do citations and how to avoid plagiarism, but also the consequences as well.”

giarism in 80 percent of the cases that are filed with the AHB is because of the students’ lack of awareness.

The AHB consists of 17 members that are nominated by their respective deans.

According to the Academic Honestly Policy, “An accused student may appeal to the Board in order to contest a determination of guilt if he or she believes the decision to have been unsubstantiated or procedurally unfair.”

McDevitt believes that students specifically run into problems as to how to cite properly—more specifically, when and how to cite.

Near Saint Joseph’s University

1. Brick & Brew Located on Darby Road in the heart of charming Havertown, Pa., Brick & Brew is the perfect place to watch the game, chat with a co-worker, or take your date to enjoy some of the best brick oven pizza in the Philadelphia area.

Not only has Brick & Brew perfected their brick oven pizza, but they also offer an assorted selection of appetizers, seafood, sandwiches, burgers, salads, pastas, and, best of all: desserts. Brick & Brew uses only fresh and local ingredients and features signature homemade ketchup and French fries that will complete any meal. Whether you’re in the mood for sushi, a bruschetta pizza, or a classic hamburger and fries, Brick & Brew will never fail to impress.

Brick & Brew offers a warm atmosphere with several high definition TVs and both indoor and outdoor seating. The bar area overlooks the brick oven where customers can watch the specialty pizzas being made. While the appetizers and main courses are satisfying, you’ll want to make sure you save room for their mouthwatering dessert menu. I mean, who would ever pass up a Nutella chocolate chip cookie with ice cream?

2. La Creperie Café I absolutely LOVE this place. I was in the mood for some savory crepes and decided to check this place out. I was greeted by two lovely French women as soon as I walked in. They were very friendly and actually spoke to me in French multiple times throughout my meal. I was first given some refreshing mint and citrus infused water after sitting down at the table. Then I ordered a cappuccino and the Champignons et Oeufs à la Crème Fraiche crepes, which have mushrooms, eggs, Crème Fraiche and Herbs de Provence, which is like a buttery sour cream, and a mixture of dried French herbs.

The crepe was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted and it was very filling! This café is definitely a little more on the pricey side, with one crepe averaging at about $13, but for the price you pay, you get a substantial amount of food. I highly recommend trying out this cute little café, which also has a whole menu dedicated to sweet crepes. Also, be sure to check out their website before you go, as there is a coupon you can print out for 10 percent off your meal.

3. Chubby’s Chubby’s, located across the street from Dalessandro’s, brings the classic Pat’s versus Geno’s fight to the streets of West Philadelphia. Going against its rival in cheesesteaks, Chubby’s beats the competition with its small perks. Chubby’s has a parking lot and more seating than its competitor. Now the real question: is the cheesesteak better than across the street? I say yes. Going away from the fresh roll, Chubby’s takes the flavors of their cheesesteaks to another level. The meat itself is full of flavor, and cut just a little thicker than Dalessandro’s.

4. Dalessandro’s Located on the corner of Henry Avenue and Wendover Street, and just down the street from Philadelphia University, Dalessandro’s is a small packed environment. I first tried out the restaurant with my roommate, and the line was just starting to come out the door when we arrived. Luckily, we had ordered over the phone before we got there: two cheesesteaks, onions and cheese— and it was probably one the best I have had in Philly. The roll was fresh and soft, the meat had a lot of flavor and was cut perfectly.

This is definitely a place I would recommend, as long as you remember to order your meal in advance.

5. Sang Kee Peking Duck House Tucked away on the corner of 9th and Winter streets lies an abundance of Daffy Duck’s glazed and delicious cousins marinating behind a tall glass window.

The Sang Kee Peking Duck House not only offers the best duck in Philadelphia, but some of the most affordable and tasty Chinese and American food anywhere. There are tons of choices for vegetarians, too, like the sautéed water spinach in garlic or the Chinese broccoli with yellow wine and ginger sauce.

And for all those carnivores who don’t enjoy the greasy, bony, tasty tenderness of a good duck, there are plenty of other formerly-living things to try. For the past seven years I’ve never been let down by a platter of duck, chicken, and pork, lightly glazed on top of white rice with green vegetables. It’s a guaranteed good time. Throw in a pink lady smoothie and you’re bound to find love somewhere on the menu.

The food and dining experience are a testament to why the Duck House has stood at 238 North 9th St. since 1980, while its surroundings have changed.

Eat in, take out, or just stand inside of the door salivating while keeping warm in the winter—whatever you decide will be well worth the trip.

6. Valanni My friend and I were craving paella the other day and had heard that this restaurant served it, so we decided to check it out.

We were immediately seated upon arriving, which was nice, and every staff member we encountered was very friendly.

I started off with a glass of red wine and my friend had a mojito. My wine was pretty average, good but nothing fancy, but my friend said her mojito was very strong. The drinks were priced adequately with nothing being too expensive. I also noticed on their menu that they serve many specialty cocktails, but I did not get to try any as I was driving home that night!

We ordered the seafood paella for one to share. At first we were considering ordering the size option listed as “for two” but after consulting our waiter he recommended going with the “for one” option, as it is a lot of food, and boy, was he right! The two of us were not even able to finish the entire dish and we each took some leftovers home. The paella was very good overall, although my friend and I both thought it needed a little extra salt and spices. But otherwise the food was excellent!

Top Things to Do in Philadelphia Dilworth Park Located in the heart of Center City, Dilworth Park is the newly-renovated area outside of City Hall.

Opened in September 2014, the park has something to offer for each season, and for people of all ages.

There is a fountain open in the spring and summer that is converted to an ice skating rink in the winter.

Dilworth Park also holds many events such as festivals, movie screenings, live performances, and art exhibits. The park is also a great place to sit down for a coffee or a bite to eat from its signature restaurant, Rosa Blanca Café.

Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk With three years spent on construction, the Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk opened to the public in October 2014. The boardwalk is an extension of the 130-mile Schuylkill River Trail, which, when fully completed, will stretch from Pottsville to Philadelphia. The boardwalk extends from Locust Street to the South Street Bridge, creating a path over the river. The Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk is a great spot for runners, walkers, joggers, and anyone who is looking for a great view of the Philadelphia skyline.

Ben Franklin Parkway Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the road that runs through the cultural heart of the City of Brotherly Love, extends from City Hall down to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Along the parkway are dozens of attractions, from museums such as the Franklin Institute and the Rodin Museum, to events such as popup gardens and art installations and the famous Thanksgiving Day Parade. The annual “Made in America” concert, which takes place outside of the Art Museum, brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to the parkway to enjoy the year’s most popular music acts. In 2015, the parkway was home to the World Meeting of Families, as well as the Papal mass held during Pope Francis’ visit to the city.

One Liberty Place Observation Deck If you are looking for a birds-eye view of Philadelphia, try the newly-opened observation deck at One Liberty Place in Center City. Open 365 days a year, the observation deck offers the full Philadelphia experience: In addition to an amazing view, there is information about the city’s history, art by Philadelphia’s Mural Arts program, and much more. Enclosed at the top of One Liberty Place, sitting 883 feet above the city, there is no doubt that this is the best view of the city of brotherly love.

Penn’s Landing Just a stone’s throw away from Old City, Penn’s Landing is the city’s top spot for waterfront fun. Located on the banks of the Delaware River, Penn’s Landing is home to many attractions and events all year around. During the summer months visitors can enjoy the light show, outdoor games, and hammock-lounging that Spruce Street Harbor Park has to offer, then the earth of the Lodge, and the fun times to be had at the Blue Cross River Rink Winterfest when winter rolls into town. Penn’s Landing is also home to must-see events such as the Tall Ships Challenge sailing festival and the annual New Years’ Eve party. These events are something visitors and locals alike do not want to miss.

The Franklin Institute When it comes to combining learning and fun, the Franklin Institute is the place to go. Located on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway across from Logan Circle, the Franklin Institute is one of the oldest science museums in the country. It is home to many interactive exhibits like the Giant Heart and the Wonders of Electricity. The museum also hosts traveling exhibits such as “The Art of the Brick,” which features works created entirely out of LEGOs. There is always something new and exciting to be discovered at the Franklin Institute.
