Hateshouldnotbepresentintoday'ssocietyTop 10 things

hate to have to wake up for those 8:15 a.m. classes, we hate to go to school, and my favorite, we hate Cabrini College. Again, I wonder if we truly hate something, or are we just saying that we hate it because it is so easy to say?

In the whole grand scheme of things, we hate what we truly cannot understand. We hate what we are afraid to learn more about, and we hate what we are scared of.

In a world that is filled with so many people, we find ourselves coming to hate so much.

easily say that Cabrini is a college that is catering to whites only, when a great majority of this school is on some sort of financial aid package (including myself)?

Sure, this school is filled with a whole bunch of rich kids. One would figure that they would be the first to say something about the school. It amazes me how many times in the past three years I have seen Cabrini students standing in front of a washing machine wondering how to turn it on.

To Help Overthrow Your School

10. Read the student handbook.

9. Memorize the names of all the people that are important at this school. This will get them scared that you know them too well.

8. Draw lots of attention to yourself at all times.

·Hate.

Do we really know what this word means?

We can all imagine that we know what the

Cabrini College will be holding the Cultural Kaleidoscope Week, Feb. 15-19. This will be a great opportunity for the students and the community as a whole to start to understand why they should not hate so much.

It sometimes angers me that we do not have a diverse school. Probably only 10 percent of this school consists of minorities, and that is a shame. I do not think that the whole problem lies with the school, but it lies with the people.

7. Go to class, because if you get thrown out of school, then you lose.

6. Find the albino deer.

Now that you know what the true meaning of hate is, then you can hate, right?

Wrong.

The biggest question I think we must ask ourselves is, what do we hate? For most, we

I think that in a school, especially Cabrini, it is easy to say that the school does have some problems with racism. People say that the school caters to the needs of white middle to upper-class students, but is that all true? Why does it seem that when we talk about the middle-class of society, we are so easy to say that it is filled with only whites and that AfricanAmericans, Puerto Ricans, Hispanics and many other different cultures are ail in the lower-class of society? Why is it that we can so

Letters To The Editor

Talking, understanding can only help relationships

To The Editor: Love has a way of changing us all, either a love for a sport, favorite car, or a food, or that of a close friend. But what does one do when they have lost their loved one? What happens when you lose the one person you loved? Talking to others sometimes seems so incomplete. And with regards to the dreaded Cabrini grapevine, who knows what eventually be made of the conversation? How do you make another understand how much you regret screwing-up? In all my years, I have heard numerous stories about love, others stating, "it bowled me over," "it was love at first sight," and all the other cliche, cheesy, make-believe-story types of love. But not once did I believe it would happen to me. I did not realize it had happened to me until she was gone. I ruined the love I had. I jumped the gun and ended a perfect relationship, all because of my stubbornness and inability to communicate properly. Don·t get me wrong, I am not looking for sympathy or pity. I just hope to better inform others from my experience.

But as spring quickly approaches, so too does "spring love." I wish to post a warning for all the oncoming Romeo(s) and Juliet(s): if a difference or problem arises between you and your special someone, have the courage to work it through. If nothing comes from it, at least you will not regret it (the afterward analyzing of what should have been said). To think afterwards, "I should have said this," and/or "I should have said that"

It is completely true that this school consists of cliques, and that sports teams will always sit together, and we are all guilty of doing that. But it should not be that way, why is it that we fear opening our groups to other people?

Why is it that we have to be closed and not hang out with others as if they grew up with us?

3. Keep a full tank of gas in your car and park it so the front of the car faces the road. You never know when you are going to have to make a quick getaway.

5. Drink a lot, it helps you think of crazy schemes. true meaning of hate is, but we are usually the first to say that we know the definition. According to the American Heritage College Dictionary, the word "hate" is clearly defined as "to feel hostility or animosity toward, to feel dislike or animosity (i.e. 'I hate washing the dishes.')"

2. Look both ways when crossing the street.

1. Become the perspectiveseditor of a school newspaper.

Loquitur is established as a forum for student expression and as a voice in the uninhibited, robust, free and open discussion of issues.

Plus, in some ways you are showing your partner that you care enough to hear what they are saying, and you respect them enough to listen (something I did not do, should have done, and now regret).

I screwed up my relationship with someone who meant a great deal to me. To her I openly apologize. For those who are reading, take these words to heart, and listen to each other before you lash out and attack each other, verbally, emotionally, and/or psychologically. In the end, you will regret nothing, and will look favorably upon the relationship you have both built and/or the respect shared.

Informatively and Regrettably, Jared Schierbaum, senior

Computer lab's unavailability triggers student's anger

To the Editor: On Saturday, Feb. 6, the computer lab was closed. On Sunday the 7th, it was open from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.-a mere three hours. On both of these days, the computers in the library-equipped with Microsoft Word-were broken. Does anyone else find something terribly wrong here? To make tuition include a com- puter fee for the computers students can rarely use on weekends is inexcusable. It is frustrating for Cabrini students to depend on a lab with unpredictable hours. It is an inconvenience for these students to pester those with computers in their rooms. It is unfair and unprofessional for Cabrini to shut itself down on weekends. If the Computer Information

Systems Department needs lab monitors, there are plenty of students (myself included) who would love to be paid to sit in the computer lab. In conclusion, how can a college make it so difficult for students to do their work? It is a disgrace. I hope this never happens again.

Sincerely, Chris Vesci, first-year student
