Resident life's burden

JOHNM. HOLLOWAY STAFF WRITER JMH725 @CABRINI.EDU

Every resident living on campus has to stop complaining, and start dealing. For the past six months, there has been some sort of complaint on the housing issues for residents. Walk anywhere on campus and you will most likely hear, "I live in a double, with three people." Welcome to college.

All schools in the tri-state area that house students are overcrowding their dorms. This is not because of money issues, but because there are too many people applying. What are we to do.

Sure, it is tough to cope in

Loquitur is on

AOL Instant Messanger small living quarters, just stop thinking you are the only ones. There are worse situations out there. Villanova, for example, has been letting four to five people live in one triple, and St. Joe's has three people in almost all of their doubles. And they keep taking in more.

The best part of all these annoyances is when the school decides to compromise, students take aim at that. Obviously taking care of dorm issues can't happen over night. Cabrini uses the resources around them for immediate gratification. So they are renting space from Harcum College. Now instead of complaining about their crowded room, students dread the idea of living two miles off campus.

If one is that fed up, move off campus on your own. The price

can be comparable, and you can still get on the meal plan. We are a small institution that is trying to invoke social activity. The only way to have more social events is more people.

Something I really admire about attending Cabrini College is the opportunity for a clean slate. For those of us arguing the fact that Cabrini's admissions board is too lenient, think about how you got in before wondering about some freshmen that are enrolling. Cabrini offers a new start for those who want to succeed. The college knows that decisions made in high school shouldn't affect the rest of one's life, that is why Cabrini is open to all applicants.

would be a fun and exciting ending to the half-time show, but I do not believe that both the black part of her corset and her bra were supposed to come off.

I've been a fan of Janet Jackson since I was five years old, and she does not need bad publicity. She seems to be a smart woman who knows that exposing herself in front of90 million people on television is not the best thing in the worJd to do. So why would she do it? I don't think she actually thought people would say, "That was a great stunt! We applaud you and would like you to play at the Super Bowl again next year!"

Come on. Everyone knows there are rules, and that young children watch the Super Bowl, too. She knows this and has apologized numerous times for what happened. I don't think it should have been called a "costume malfunction," because that just sounds silly, but I do believe it should be considered an accident.

I also feel that, yes, she should be fined for what she did. Justin Timberlake, that oh-so-sexy man (I couldn't be more sarcastic), should also be fined. He's just as guilty, considering he caused the accident.

What people did not see was when she covered herself up and ran down the stage to get a towel. You could see the shock in her face when she realized her bra came off as well. I've watched the video a few times online where they actually show the whole thing, so I'm not making this up.

To all the people who think I'm crazy for thinking what happened was an accident, that's fine. But honestly, we'll never know. So there's no point in really talking about it anymore. Is there?

More than just an actor in the play of life

When I first applied to Cabrini as a freshman,the first thing I looked for was.to see if there was a theater department.

Many colleges have a program but don't often perform shows, or have a difficult time finding students willing to perfonn. As a second year student now, I am thrilled to know that we do have a theater department and many of my fondest memories when I leave here will no doubt be that of performing in the shows.

One production I am excited about is a play going to be performed in the spring here called "Musical Chairs" by Michael D. Rock. What makes this show so unique is that it is a chance play with 20 possible scenes, and being performed by the actors, it could change at any given time based on the actors' performance and how the audience takes to it.

It is going to be performed in late March2 and I feel students will become more interested in this play than others because it will be different each time you see it. It reminds me somewhat of a choose-your-own-adventure book, in that the ending of a particular scene can change the entire course of the play.

When I first learned of the show, I was excited, and even more so when I got the part as Anne, the wife of one of the main characters in the show.

Due to many experiences like this one, I feel grateful to Cabrini, that it offers such a wide variety of opportunities for students to use their talents.
