Irish rock star and humanitarian Bono received the Liberty Medal, Philadelphia’s most

prestigious award, at a ceremony at the National Constitution Center on Thursday, Sept. 27. He was honored for his efforts to reduce extreme poverty and beat back AIDS in Africa. The organization he founded in 2002, DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa), shared the award.

“He has shown that it is impossible for decent men and

women to be subjected to such inequity and injustice only to stand idly by,” President George H.W. Bush said before presenting Bono with the award.

The Liberty Medal annually honors individuals or organizations worldwide who have demonstrated leadership and vision in the pursuit of liberty of conscience or freedom from oppres-

sion, ignorance or deprivation. This award is accompanied by a $100,000 prize, which Bono said will be donated to the organization.

In a press conference before the ceremony, executive director of DATA Jamie Drummond spoke about the organization and the honor that both he and Bono would be receiving.

“As you can tell from my

accent, I’m not American, nor is Bono, but we get what an honor this is,” Drummond said.

As the ceremony began, a range of performers took the stage in an effort to honor the cause and urge Americans to

Straddling lower, middle class

ASHLEY COOK NEWS EDITOR AAC722@CABRINI EDU

Cabrini College’s President’s Convocation honored Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Alfred Lubrano. Lubrano is author of the book “Limbo: Blue-Collar Roots, White-Collar Dreams.”

Lubrano is also a contributing editor to GQ Magazine, has won six national journalism awards and is a commentator for National Public Radio since 1992.

Lubrano made a speech about an overlooked social issue, the social transition from blue collar to white: the differences of working and middle class families based on values, education and culture. “Related by blood, separated by class,” Lubrano said.

“Limbo” individuals are those who are in between the two classes. He also refers to them as Straddlers. To the blue-collar family, love, family and money are key, but to the white collar, knowledge is most important.

“Middle class people say that writing itself is a learning experience, when you write something you know more about it when your done with it, it makes you more well balanced, a little smarter, less ignorant and a little more open to people and differences.” Lubrano said.

Lubrano used stories from his book throughout his speech to give examples of families who have suffered from this social issue. He spoke about how families can fall

EDITORIAL

Extraordinary accomplishments throughout 50 years

Take a minute and try to imagine this. Imagine a college where a dress code was normal. Where the curfew was enforced every night, regardless of whether you were a freshman or a senior. An environment in which there were 43 total students and 11 faculty members in the entire college. Everyday, women woke up, fixed their hair to perfection, pulled their skirts down past their knees, hiked up their socks and were ready for class. This routine, although hard for our generation to imagine, was not so foreign to those who attended Cabrini College in 1957.

Going to school, with no men and no sports wouldn’t seem enjoyable to some in our generation as an everyday lifestyle. It wasn’t until 1967, 10 years after Cabrini opened its doors, that the first basketball and field hockey teams were formed. Three years after that, in 1970, the first male students arrived at Cabrini.

The campus of Cabrini College is unarguably a beautiful place. In 1953, when the MSCs purchased land from the second family to own the estate, the Dorrances, to build their mansion, they spent $295,000 on 138 acres of land. Today, that much land would sell for many, many millions of dollars.

Today, attending Cabrini without any scholarship or financial aid and including tuition, room and board, can amount up to an estimated $38,000. In 1957, when the first all-women class moved into the 51-room mansion to live and attend classes, the total amount for tuition, room and board, was $1,250. Talk about an increase over 50 years.

One thing that has not changed over the years is Cabrini’s mission -- to prepare students for a future of dignity and purpose and give an education of the heart. Cabrini was the first and only institution of higher learning founded by Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Cabrini was also the first in the state of Pennsylvania to integrate community service as a core requirement in 1989. The administration, staff and students are a major contribution to the success of the college. The faculty is eager to help students flourish in their majors. In 2005, Dr. Jerry Zurek was awarded Pennsylvania Professor of the Year. Furthermore, Cabrini graduates are experiencing extraordinary accomplishments. Vince DeFruscio, graduate of 2004, won an Emmy this year.

Cabrini College has been a successful college since it opened its doors in 1957. Expanding from just 43 female students to over 2,300 men and women is quite an accomplishment. Whether you agree with the campus changes or not, there is no denying that Cabrini is a successful college and is obviously doing something right.

First graduating class honored at 50-year anniversary luncheon

JESSICA HAGERTY SPORTS EDITOR JH729@CABRINI EDU

On Sunday, Sept. 23 Cabrini honored the women in the first graduating class to enter the college. This date was exactly the 50 year anniversary of the opening day of the college.

On Sept. 23, 1957 the college opened its doors to 43 women. Many of these women of the graduating class of 1961 were present at Sunday’s festivities.

The day’s events began with a liturgy in the Bruckmann Memorial Chapel of Saint Joseph, followed by a luncheon in the mansion. The first graduates then took a trolley tour of the campus and ended at Founder’s hall to view this month’s exhibits and view a video of the 1961 commencement. The women also had a chance to meet with current Cabrini students.

“It was very beneficial to learn about the history of the college,” sophomore undeclared major Tom Heigh said. “It makes me feel more a part of Cabrini.”

Some of the women from the

first graduating class have not been on Cabrini’s campus in many years. It was 10 years since Pat Kelly-Seeger has been on campus.

“It’s great to be back, I forgot how beautiful the campus really is,” Seeger said.

Seeger currently lives in Connecticut but still considers herself a local of Cabrini.

Of the 43 women who entered the college on Sept. 23, 1957, 28 of them lived in the Mansion; the others, known as “Day-Hops,” were commuters from their homes nearby. Some “Day-Hops” commuted by means of a “pink bus” that the College operated.

One of the riders of the pink bus was Anna Marie Fontana-Marino of the class of 1961 who rode the bus from 69th street in Philadelphia.

Fontana-Marino, who graduated in 1961 with an elementary educations degree and a current resident of Cherry Hill, N.J., explained in an interview with the Loquitur why she comes back almost every year to visit the campus.

“I just feel like I have to come back, this is like home

to me,” Fontana-Marino said. Many of the students in the first few graduating classes came from Cabrini High School in New York. Mother Ursula Infante had just resigned from the principal position and then became responsible for the creation of the college that had long been a dream of the Missionary Sisters.

During this time, women were not always encouraged to go to college but Mother Ursula was determined to get women to attend her school.

Cabrini Boggiana, a 1961 graduate and the captain of the softball team, was a student at Cabrini High School that was not planning on going to college.

“Mother Ursula came to my house and spoke with my mother and talked her into letting me go to college,” Boggiana said in an interview with the Loquitur.

Boggiana described her experience at Cabrini as “wonderful” and still remains friends with the three women she lived with in the Mansion.

use their voices for liberty.

“ In the words of our honoree, find the melody line in your head and sing it for liberty,” President and CEO of the National Constitution Center Joseph M. Torsella said in his introduction.

Governor Edward G. Rendell

and Mayor John F. Street followed Torsella’s introduction and gave words of recognition in honor of the recipients. Former President Bush presented Bono with the medal as Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a member of the DATA Policy Advisory Board, accepted the award on behalf of the organization.

“Today as you pin this great

honor on me, I ask you, I implore you as an Irishman who has seen some of these things close up, I ask you to remember, you do not have to become a monster to defeat a monster. Your America is better than that,” Bono said in his acceptance speech. A consistent question throughout the speech became what America is willing to pledge in

this fight to reduce poverty and take control. He urged those in attendance to listen to the voice of young Africa and to take a stand.

For the evening, Bono said he was taking on the identity of an American.

“Let me set my foot here and say to you tonight, this is my country. With humility and pride in my own country let me say,

America is my country in the sense that anyone who has a stake in liberty, has a stake in the United States of America for all you’ve been through, good and bad, this is my country too,” Bono said. “America is not just a country. It’s an idea, isn’t it?”

apart when a member of the bluecollar family decides to enter the world of white-collar individuals.

“I think most parents want the best for there kids, what they don’t always anticipate is that college can change your child,” Lubrano said. “It’s such a retro experience, education changes you, and it takes you further and further away from who you were as a working class member of your family, your still you, but there are differences and that’s what makes for a clash.”

Lubrano said he felt that more balanced people, people who felt best about themselves, as people in general, could find the duality, do a balancing act, and feel like they could draw the best from their working class culture and bring it into their middle class lives, and kind of strengthen themselves.

Lubrano concluded that for Straddlers, life’s ultimate goal is reconciliation: finding a peace with the past and present, blue collar and white, old family ways and

the new middle-class life. Straddlers can then celebrate the blending of the past with the present. “Peaceful reconciliation comes to us when we can finally meld the two people we are,” Lubrano said.

“My father was a bricklayer. I am a newspaperman. He got his wish, that I graduate from college and not live the life of the outside man,” Lubrano said. “I got my dream, that I leave the neighborhood and get a chance to write about the world.”

The evening concluded with Cabrini honoring Lubrano with a citation and a book signing. First-year student John Disanto was also recognized for his essay on Lubrano’s story.

Anti-war rally protests in D.C.

JONATHAN BARNETT STAFF WRITER JEB724@CABRINI

EDU

Thousands of people gathered in Washington, D.C., for an antiwar rally early on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 15, some prepared for acts of civil disobedience. They joined to march in protest against the war in Iraq, a war many of them feel to be illegal and immoral.

Protesters began to crowd near the White House around 8:30 that morning. They marched from their gathering place to the Capitol. Upon arriving in front of the Capitol many of the protesters staged a “die-in.”

While marching chants could be heard, “What do we want? PEACE! When do we want it? NOW!”

“I had never been to a demonstration like this before,” Amanda Finnegan, a senior English and communication major, said. “I was surprised about how angry some of the protesters were but I guess when you have an issue that heated, it’s expected.”

The protest brought individuals of all ages together to stand up for what they believe, a chance to practice their freedom of speech.

“We are lucky in this country to be able to participate in marches

like these and be able to express our own opinions.” Finnegan said.

The protesters heard speeches from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., when the march began.

“The parents who got up on the stage and spoke about the children they have lost to the war was one of the most powerful things that day.” Patricia Sheehan, a senior English and communication major said.

“The coffin and boots a set of parents brought to represent their son who was killed was probably one of the most moving things I saw,” Finnegan said as she recalled some of the most memorable parts of the day.

“I felt like I did not belong there. I got choked up at times, and was amazed at the people’s passion,” Alyssa Moore, a senior English and communication major said.

The protest was peaceful with only a few minor exceptions. Prowar protesters were gathered in one area to meet the anti-war protesters. The police were able to keep everyone apart and short of yelling everything was kept in order.

“I had two family members in Iraq for the last four years so I feel very passionately about the situation and was happy I got to go and participate in my own way,” Finnegan said.

At the “die-in” in front of the Capitol, police report that dozens of individuals were arrested for the civil disobedience.

Many people gathered for this event either to participate or to come and see what a protest looks like. Those who took part in this had the chance to exercise a freedom that many other countries do not have.

“As Americans it’s great that we have the right to do something like this, even if it doesn’t change things right away,” Sheehan said when asked about the outcome of the protest.

“We have the freedom of speech and expression, and it was clearly represented during the march. That is the beauty of America, we are allowed to make our voice heard when we feel that an injustice is occurring, no matter if the masses are right or wrong on the matter,” Moore said.

SAT’s spark debate in admission’s process

LIZ GARRETT STAFF WRITER EGG722@CABRINI EDU

The current debate over whether to end the utilization of the SAT’s has become an issue that may affect a widespread stream of people.

As far as the admissions office at Cabrini is concerned, the SAT’s are merely another one of the requirements needed in the application process. Even though they are not deemed as the best indicator of a student’s academic abilities, it is still necessary to examine the scores.

“We need to have high school transcripts and SAT’s,” Charles Spencer, director of admissions at Cabrini, said. He continued on to say, “students can take the ACT’s because they are more of what is learned in high school. I like looking at what someone’s done throughout their four years.”

Considering the proposals of terminating the administration of the SAT’s, it is safe to say that Cabrini will be able to maintain the decision-making process. According to Spencer, “we would make sure that they have all the core requirements filled in high school, and then probably add a mandatory essay.”

At this time the College Board has recorded a scoring range of 880 to 1050 for Cabrini’s SAT expectation, not including a

writing section. In contrast, Villanova University requires students to have results between 1750 and 2040 including writing. Eastern University needs a 1400 to 1740 including writing, Drexel University calls for 1070 to 1300 without writing, and Rosemont College expects 1430 to 1830 with a writing portion.

“I was a transfer so they looked at my credits from my previous college, the SAT’s really didn’t affect me, freshman psychology and criminology major Dana Romeo said. Not all students have been affected by the SAT’s, which has also been a point of importance for colleges to think about.

Charles Murray, a social scientist, recently suggested the importance of discontinuing the SAT’s. His views on the wellknown high school assessment tool were extremely negative, however, they contradict his positive opinion on other examinations such as the I.Q. test.

Murray is far from alone where his thoughts on the SAT’s are concerned. Both college administrators and parents are frustrated with how the test affects the admission decision, mostly because they have discovered it does not accurately measure the person’s aptitude.

Murray theorizes that the SAT’s are designed to assist people of wealthier classes and not those who are underprivileged.

Instead of relying on the SAT’s he advises that colleges would be wise to use subject tests such as biology or history, that focus on the principles studied in school. By judging high school GPA’s in addition to the grades from subject tests, a prediction of future achievements in college can be equally as legitimate.

The College Board has stated that subject tests and the SAT are both significant to the decision procedure. It is understood that students raised in families of the higher class have proved to be more successful on the SAT, which is seen as unjust.

Coaching preparation for the SAT’s has simply a slight impact on the students’ final scores. Overall, the conflict involving the validity of the SAT’s is challenging college officials. Why persist in partially basing college acceptance on these exams, and substitute one standardized test with another?

“I do really bad on standardized testing, but I did good on the writing portion and had a good GPA so it was overridden,” sophomore marketing major Erin Peters, said. As prospective students research Cabrini they will have to adhere to the college policy of submitting their SAT’s, however they will always have other criteria looked at.

Deadly Bait

CHRISTOPHER BLAKE STAFF WRITER CRB724@CABRINI EDU

A number of U.S. snipers in Iraq have been told to set “bait” to attract and then kill suspected insurgents. The program orders snipers to set an object that they feel an insurgent would use against U.S. or Iraqi troops such as ammunition or plastic explosives and then to kill whoever tries to take the object. The “baiting” program was found through court documents filed “against three snipers who are accused of planting evidence on Iraqis they kill,” according to the Washington Post. The number of people told of the program is unknown but more individuals seem to have been aware of the “baiting” while others felt their purpose was to plant evidence on Iraqis they had killed.

NBC 10 films campus commercials

MEGAN PELLEGRINO COPY EDITOR MRP727@CABRINI EDU

Last week, Cabrini was filmed for commercials airing on NBC 10. The commercial’s message is to promote the college campus as well as celebrate its 50th anniversary.

NBC 10 was chosen to film the commercials “because of the partnership between the college and NBC 10 that was established for the 50 th anniversary celebration,” Dan DiPrinzio, Cabrini media relations manager said.

Producer Angelo Dush and his three man crew, cameraman John Johnson, technician Neil Brango and DiPrinzio made commercial visions a reality.

During the week, NBC 10 scheduled times and dates for different shoots including both faculty and students at different aesthetic locations on campus.

All students were welcome to take part in this experience. At other times, specific departments and professors were asked to be shot in exclusive segments.

Where all students were welcome to take part in the production, they were used as extras to fill the scenes as animated bustling students ready to learn and go to class.

“It was a neat experience because NBC was so technical with their equipment,” junior human resources management major Andrea Mory said.

Professors were asked to memorize lines and scripted in different scenes with students. The professors were chosen based on their representation and enthusiasm towards the stu-

dents and the message of Cabrini.

“It took them awhile to set up the scene in front of Founders Hall and to get a bunch of students to be placed in the background. Then we ran through the shot about 50 times,” Dr. Jeffrey Gingerich associate professor of sociology, said.

“During my filming, I delivered my lines in various tones and with differing background activity. It is my belief that the film crew will create a fluid commercial using bits and pieces from the numerous takes,” Dr. Darryl Mace, assistant history and political science professor, said.

“I spoke about the academic commitment of the college to students and the individual care they get from our faculty. It was fun!” Dr. Melissa Terlecki, assistant psychology professor, said.

Other scenarios and scenes set up were different depart-

ments and classrooms, including the newsroom and video studio.

After all of the taping and shots are edited, there will be a total of three different commercials. Each commercial focuses on an aspect of the Cabrini education. These are campus life, academics and community service.

“I hope it will be good exposure for Cabrini. Letting people in the area know that we’re out here and doing good things will hopefully invite them to check us out,” Gingerich said.

The Cabrini vignettes will run on Sunday mornings starting Oct. 7 and continue through the spring on NBC 10.

Cabrini students are advised to watch the commercials airing in October and provide feedback to Dan DiPrinzio on what was liked or disliked.

Strike results in new contract

The United Auto Workers union and General Motors agreed to a new contract Wednesday, Sept. 26, after a two-day national strike, the first since 1970. The contract guaranteed funding for healthcare for retired workers. The union represents 73,000 people at over 80 GM facilities across the country. The union also got job-security guarantees in exchange for lower starting pay and no raises over the time of the contract.

License To Kill

The Supreme Court announced it will hear a case challenging the constitutionality of lethal injections. The justices will take into consideration whether the method of execution violates the Constitution’s law against cruel and unusual punishment. Hours after the announcement, the state of Texas controversially executed a man using a lethal injection. Texas has executed more than 400 people since 1977. The high court has never ruled on a particular method of execution. Only under legal challenge, have states that used gas chambers, hanging or electric chairs switched to lethal injection.

Pentagon seeks 190 billion dollars for Iraq

US Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, is asking for an extra $42.3 billion to fund wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the largest war-funding request ever in the six year “War On Terror.” The additional money would total the US at $189.3 billion for the global war on terror. This extra money would make the cost of both conflicts pass the $800 billion mark. Army chief of staff, Gen. George Casey, said the “current demand for our forces exceeds the sustainable supply.” He also warned the Army could face difficulty providing necessary forces “for other potential contingencies.”

Real estate hitting lowest point in 7 years

Government reports show that sales of new homes in August have “hit their lowest point in seven years,” according to USA Today which is a sign of the worst is yet to come. The removal of foreclosed homes on the market has pressed builders and sellers who must compete against additional properties. Last month the medianprice new homes fell to 225,000 dollars, a 7.5 percent decline. This was the largest percentage drop in 37 years.

Associate professor of sociology Dr. Jeffrey Gingerich was among the professors who were filmed for the commercials. They will begin airing Oct. 7 and will run through the spring.

Perspectives Perspectives

50 years in the making

IN MY OPINION

RYAN KIRBY

Fifty years ago 43 women came to Cabrini College for its first year, thirsty for knowledge, opportunity and the chance to earn their college degree. Now Cabrini serves more than 3,000 graduate and undergraduate students.

There have been vast improvements in the landscape of the college in a short amount of time, but there has also been glaring problems unaddressed by administrators. So is this new dawn in the life of the college an exciting time to be a part of the Cabrini community?

I don’t feel the excitement, but I feel the frustration of being here for four years and never having as many complaints about Cabrini as I do now.

In my four years there has been a lot done to improve Cabrini, at least physically. The S.E.T building, West Residence Hall and Dixon Field have all expanded on all already beautiful campus.

The S.E.T building gave us a second place to have classes and gave us new classrooms and labs that Founder’s Hall could not provide. West Residence gave upper classmen an alternative to the apartments and a chance for students to live on campus all four years. Dixon Field is a turf stadium used by several of our athletic teams that is state of the art and replaced an old dirt and rock ridden field.

Enhancing the physical nature of Cabrini is something that has been a huge success and in our 50th anniversary it is important to recognize these advancements. But for students like myself it is tantamount to the amount of problems in our community that have had students upset for the past few years.

I know that for me freshman year was the best year to be a student on campus, and each year has been worse and worse since then.

The first 50 years of Cabrini College have obviously brought about many positive changes. But in the past four the glaring oversight of what students want has changed the school for the worse. Hopefully in the next fifty years this school will stop worrying about getting more students and giving out more fines and start listening to what students need.

IN MY OPINION

CHRISTINE GRAF

Fifty years is something to be proud of. Cabrini has successfully grown from 43 young ladies to over 2,300 students currently attending classes today. This success is definitely something to celebrate.

I am excited to be able to participate in Cabrini College’s 50th anniversary celebration. The reason I say so is because I took time in choosing where I wanted to attend school and am proud to be a Cabrini Cavalier. In a sense I feel that Cabrini is celebrating a part of all of us and what bonds us as students, faculty and staff. Without us it wouldn’t be much of a college at all.

I think it is fabulous that Cabrini is making such a big deal out of this

milestone. Who knew the college would even succeed and now it has been going strong for 50 years. One of my favorite aspects of this college is how we have held our values and morals within our education. Education of the Heart is still present since the early years of the Missionary Sister of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Cabrini not only holds its values but also works hard to preserve and celebrate the history of the school. They do this in fun ways such as holding great events in honor of this 50th anniversary. One particular event is having Cabrini’s first students from 1957 come back to the college and participate in this celebration. Another fun event is something called a sock hop where students will travel back to the 1950s with some old television stars.

There are so many other wonderful things planned and I am excited to get involved. Cabrini College is our home away from home and I love that we can all celebrate this milestone together.

YEARS

IN MY OPINION

MICHAEL BIEKER

EDU

This year signifies Cabrini as an established college for 50 years. Cabrini College instills the message of “do something extraordinary” and this year is truly something extraordinary.

As a student of Cabrini College I have mixed emotions about my college and its anniversary.

I am happy to be a part of Cabrini but at times I find myself regretting I came here. Cabrini College is a college that is not your ordinary college.

You will not find any crazy parties, any fraternities or sororities that you would find at other colleges and universities. You will not find a packed stadium of students cheering on a football team and you will not find it hard to get lost due to the small size of the campus.

On the other hand, Cabrini College offers opportunities and aspects that other colleges do not have. It is never a hassle getting to class. In fact the only

hassle there is, is getting out of bed. You do not have to worry about catching a bus, or walking 2 miles up hill to a lecture hall. Our campus is small and it brings everything together very tightly.

In addition to our campus being tightly-knit, we see our professors walking around, and on the contrary, our professors see us and know our names. I have told my friends that I had to go to a meeting with a professor and they were appalled that I can just walk into my professor’s office to talk to them.

Cabrini College offers opportunities that other colleges and universities do not. We have an award winning newspaper where it is run by the students, the teaching program is phenomenal, and the theatre department is great with productions.

At first when I was asked how I felt about Cabrini College’s 50th Anniversary, I said to myself they don’t want to know, but after thinking about it I am proud to be a student at Cabrini College. Furthermore, I am happy to be apart of the 50th year milestone, because although this college is small and may not offer you the real college experience, it offers you opportunities that you wouldn’t find anywhere else.

October baseball was something that has eluded the city of Philadelphia since the heart wrenching World Series loss to the Toronto Blue jays in 1993. Since then it has been 13 long seasons, each one ending the same way. Philadelphia has been the official city of “maybe next year,” since I was born.

Apparently, no one told the 2007 Phillies that their role in sports is to come up short. Philly’s history distorting victory of the Nationals Sunday earned them the playoff berth since 1993.

As I was in transit dur-

Traveling on New Jersey’s Interstate 295, I could see the fireworks from Citizen’s Bank Park exploding in the air. I felt like I was there, celebrating with

The out of town scoreboard watching, the entirely sold out weekend, that all eyes on Philly feeling, I have never felt any of these things before. The last time the Phillies won the pennant, I was just 5 years old, hitting baseballs for the first time off of a tee. I was hardly old enough to remember anything and for the longest time, I was not sure I would ever get to have those memories.

It is unfortunate to think that most of the country will view this amazing comeback very as the Mets falling apart over the past two months, blowing their strangle hold of first in the east. But Philly helped New York lose that lead.

Oct. 3 marks uncharted territory for the team and for most of its fans. You better believe that I am skipping my classes if the Phils earn themselves another parade down Broad Street.

The Philadelphia Phillies smacked the competition in the face this Sunday. Now even the baseball illiterates are along for the ride. Since their glorious win skyrocketed them to playoff status, it appears everyone has put on their Phillies hats and added names like Shane Victorino to their regular vocabulary. But wait a second, doesn’t it seem like there are a lot more fans you cross paths with verses a few weeks ago?

It’s because they’re winning. Most people enjoy being fans of a winning

team. These are not true fans. True Phillies fans follow the games regardless of how many wins and loses the team has accumulated. These loyal fans couldn’t be more delighted about the recent win but they can’t stand the phony Phillie lovers who are latching on to their victory.

I’m not claiming to be the biggest fan but I’m in a facebook group called

“Howard’s Homies,” which is dedicated to going to games and cheering for Ryan Howard. Maybe that’s a sad attempt for street credit but I started liking the Phillies only a year ago. Because my Phillie pride is a recent development, long term fans give me little respect but I can see why.

People just jump on and claim they support the team when in fact they don’t. I find myself becoming enraged at these new fake fans. Now I understand why some didn’t credit me as a fan.

J;I’ve been a fan for longer than the recent batch of newbie’s. Still, don’t just latch on when the team is doing extremely amazing. Even new fans, like me, will give you as Rodney Dangerfield would say, “no respect”.

No Greek life, no party, no problem for administration

Starting a sorority at Cabrini College last year seemed like a really good idea to my roommate and me, especially as freshmen. A lot of our friends seemed to be pledging for fraternities and sororities at other schools, but we were stuck at Cabrini without those opportunities.

Our first question was why don’t we have Greek life on our campus? Maybe it’s because it’s a smaller

school, maybe it’s because it’s a Catholic school. Either way, we were determined to find out why and try to change it.

We did research on various sororities, spoke to our advisers and met with people in academic affairs. We finally e-mailed Dr. Christine Lysionek, vice president of student development, and she invited us to her office to speak about the organization.

We thought that this was a positive meeting, but we were too optimistic. For us, sororities meant sisterhood, loyalty and friendship, but Cabrini had other views.

Lysionek was great in this process. She met with other staff members to discuss our proposal, but the final say was no.

She explained to us that the school rules say that

Sorry, no greek letters allowed on this campus! Sororities and fraternities are not permitted because they could exclude certain groups of people.

organizations that exclude certain groups of people are not recognized by the school. In this case, a sorority would exclude men.

Of course, we were extremely disappointed by the result, but it also made me think about everything she has said and what she had really meant.

If what she said were true about exclusive organizations, then why is it that an all-girl soccer team, all-

girl lacrosse team and allgirl basketball team exist at Cabrini? Furthermore, exclusively male teams also exist, including basketball, lacrosse, soccer and baseball. How can all of these “exclusive” teams exist if it goes against the school’s rules?

Perhaps it’s because rules change.

Probably the biggest rule that has changed in Cabrini’s history is that it

Not all alum dislike President’s reign

To the Editor:

I am writing in response to last week’s opinion stated by a former Alumnus about Cabrini College’s President.

President Iadarola has proven that she has accepted the challenge to live her life according to the Cabrinian vision and core values of this fine institution. She has demonstrated herself to be a leader in making sure that

the Cabrini Community understands that the core values emanate from the life of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini.

I am privileged that I had the opportunity to be a student and employee under President Iadarola’s leadership. She has been available to the students, faculty and staff and is an active listener who values everyone’s opinions. I would not be where I am

today, if I did not have the help of President Iadarola, the faculty and staff which make up this college.

President Iadarola, Cabrini’s leader for 16 years, has exemplified our motto “Education of the Heart.” Her loyalty strives to focus our education on Christ and our mindfulness of the integrity and involvement of each individual.

I wish President

Iadarola all the best in her retirement. As an almunus, I thank her for all that she has done in providing leadership and commitment to finding the best faculty, staff and facilities that has built our strong community of 10,000 Hearts.

was once an all-girl college and now boys are attending as well. If something that big can change, then why can’t this?

Lysionek previously worked at Villanova University and had a lot of experience with these organizations. She explained that some sororities were focused on sisterhood and were dedicated to their purpose, but others were only focused on the party aspect.

I think there are two main reasons as to why Cabrini doesn’t recognize Greek life. Lysionek explained that the off-campus fraternity has caused problems for Cabrini in the past

and present, which is the first problem.

The other reason, I believe, is because stereotypically Greek life represents a “party” lifestyle, as shown in movies like “Animal House” or shows like ABC Family’s “Greek.” Although people are drawn in by the “party” lifestyle, there is more to it than just drinking. Greek life doesn’t exist on Cabrini’s campus now, but that doesn’t mean people don’t drink.

I think Cabrini’s decision should be based on the students who are willing to make the effort and their reasons behind it, instead of past experiences and media stereotypes.

Students learn new moves with Capoeira

against the Brazilian slave owners.

Cabrini students were captivated watching Capoeira, the Afro Brazilian martial art dance form of combat. As they sat in a tight circle clapping, two people were battling to the sounds of hand crafted Brazilian instruments.

On Tuesday Sept. 25, Dr. Nancy Watterson, assistant professor of English, joined in with her students in an attempt to understand the art form called Capoeira.

Marcos Corrêa, Formado (professor level of capoeira) Canguru, ran the show and started off the workshop by teaching the basic moves and giving background to what the art form represents. He then had students practice the newfound movements.

Capoeira derived from Africans enslaved in Brazil that needed to defend

The main idea is to be agile and creative. Back flips, cartwheels and dodges make up the combat more so than kicks and punches.

Watching two capoeiristas battle looks more like an acrobatic dance instead of a fight. Tactics are stressed.

Watterson is not new to the techniques of capoeira. Watterson’s god son has been involved for years, but she has also brought it to other campus’ including Cabrini last year.

“With every class they have gotten something out of it, whether it was shared bonding or going through learning something that is unfamiliar,” Watterson said.

This year it’s a little more special. Watterson is beaming about her new class she’s created called, Voices of Justice Living and Learning Community.

It’s a special community

of 21 students that live together in the same hallway in Xavier and have five classes together throughout the year.

In their classes they cover much of the same material, like writing a paper in English which will also be handed in to another class.

Nicholas Rademacher and Darryl Mace along with Watterson are currently working with this unique group of cultural diverse students.

These students were the first group of the day to get in the center of the circle and try their hand at capoeira.

Alicia Blanding, a freshman biology pre medicine major in LLC, enjoyed the enticing workshop and is equally happy to be a part of the Living Learning Community.

“I enjoyed this capoiera. I’d do this on a regular basis,” Blanding said.

purchase tickets for the

Hot Spot of the Month: Wayne Theater

The Office of Student Activities just made a night out less expensive.

The Anthony Wayne Movie Theater is an affordable means of entertainment for students at Cabrini College. Tickets are only $2 when purchased at the Office of Student Activities, located next to Jazzman’s.

Obtaining these tickets is a simple and easy process. Students just need to stop by, show their student identification, pay and pick up the tickets.

“OSA thought about what we could do for students that would be low

cost and they could do on any night of the week. We decided on the theater tickets because we aren’t able to plan an event every single night of the week so this is a way for students to be able to do something on any given night of the week,” Ashley Shoenfelt, director of student activities, said.

Five hundred tickets are purchased each semester by the Office of Student Activities. When tickets run out more are not purchased until next semester, Shoenfelt said.

The students are taking more advantage of this money-saving opportunity since its start in the fall 2006 semester.

The affordable price is not the only advantage. The theater, located on West Lancaster Ave. is less than two miles from campus. This perk can help save on gas. Students can even walk there if they wish.

The theater’s atmosphere is laid back.

“It’s cute and it’s quaint and it’s cozy. It’s very tiny, but I like that it’s tiny,” Amanda Stout, a senior communications major, said.

The theater is close and cheap but the amount of showings is limited. There is an average of five different pictures shown a week.

Other more expensive theaters can hold up to 20 pictures or more and in-

clude more showings.

Transportation is the main reasoning for the school providing the discounted tickets at the Wayne Theater. The school’s shuttle has a route to Wayne and it allows students to familiarize themselves with that surrounding area.

The price of movie tickets continues to soar. It costs $9.50 for adults to see an evening show and $7.25 to see a matinee at the Anthony Wayne Theater.

Cabrini students are able to see any movie at any time for the flat rate of $2. The days of trying to make that early show and picking a movie that is valid with discount tickets just to save a few dollars are over.

Dr. Bryony Kay is an assistant professor in psychology. She has worked with different age groups ranging from 8-21 in prisons, residential communities and schools. She is a clinical counsler and mostly focuses on emotional difficulties. She has taught in a Muslim school in Africa as well as teaching in Greece.

Q: Do you feel that you are adjusting to Cabrini?

A: Yes. It is a wonderful place. There is a great sense of community which is lovely.

Q: What have you learned since starting?

A: Technology. Students are more technologically aware which makes me as well.

Q: How did you become interested in your field?

A: My father was a psychologist. I grew up in a family of psychologists. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest had a deep impact on me. It showed me how much needed to be changed.

Q: What are your interests?

A: My family and my kids. I like traveling to Europe, Amnesty International and reading crime novels with a cup of tea.

Q: Do you have any advice for students?

A: Really enjoy learning not just for yourself but what you can learn for the rest of the community. This is a precious time of life to learn. To learn not only about oneself, but also about what we can do for others.

Celebrating the past

In 1957, Mother Ursula Infante founded Cabrini on the same site as Villa Cabrini. Both institutions lived on the same campus and took part in the blessing of Grace Hall.

Woodcrest Estate Property was bought in 1953 by the Missionary Sis- ters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was used to house their orphanage and was named Villa Cabrini.

The Middle States Association gave Cabrini full accreditation in 1965 and released this statement: “The administrators are dedicated, warm, sincere and competent persons with whom the Evaluation Commit- tee favorably impressed. The president obviously has the esteem and confidence of the administrative officers. Loyalty and devotion are everywhere present.”

In 1970, an exchange program was established with Eastern College. This provided more course offerings and also brought in the first male students to the campus. In 1975, male students became campus residents. That same academic year, the first male president of S.G.A. was elected.

In 1967, after 10 years as President Cabrini College saidgoodbyetoitsfounderasMotherUrsulaInfante retired and traveled briefly to Milan, Italy.

In its first year, the mansion provided all the facilities for the college. The following year the stables on the grounds were converted into dorm rooms, classrooms and a laboratory. In 1965 Holy Spirit Library was built.

“Eager minds in search of truth, young hearts looking for beauty, staunch souls seeking goodness and all of this to be found on the campus of Cabrini College.”

Cabrini College has come a long way since its opening in 1957. The 43 women from the first graduating class probably imagined nothing even close to what Cabrini is now. Fifty years have passed and I’m sure those 43 women still remember exactly how their first day at Cabrini College went, maybe what they wore and probably their favorite movies of the time.

Not only has Cabrini College changed, but the film industry has too. Since we are currently celebrating our 50 anniversary, why not celebrate the movies that once made someone laugh or cry 50 years ago.

1957 was a popular year for many movies and I am sure reminding people of them

will bring back a memory they once had.

Ann Marie Marino, Class of 1961 Cabrini College graduate, said some of her favorites from that time were musicals.

“There was always music in our house when I was growing up. Musicals always or almost always have a happy ending. I like happy endings,” Marino said.

“Flower Drum Song,” a story about a Chinese woman and her father who illegally enter San Francisco in order to marry her fiancé, is one of Marino’s favorites. Other musicals included, “Pal Joey,” “South Pacific” and “Funny Face.”

Some dramas that were favorites back then were “Anastasia,” a story about a Russian businessman who tries to pass a mysterious imposter as the Grand Duchess Anastasia.

“Twelve Angry Men” was also a hit

back in 1957. This drama and crime flick dealt with the prosecution of a SpanishAmerican boy who allegedly killed his father. It was up to a jury of 12 men to determine the verdict.

This was the time when Marilyn Monroe made her debut in several movies. In “Some Like It Hot,” a movie of comedy, crime, music and romance, two struggling musicians witness a St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and try to find their way out of the city before they are found and killed by the mob. Their only escape was to dress up as women and join an all-girls band. Other Monroe favorites were “The Prince and the Showgirl,” “Let’s Make Love” and “The Misfits.”

Although there are many other movies that made their debut in the late 1950s, these are several household favorites of

that time. Most movies were musicals, usually with a happy ending, while others dealt with crime. Comedies started to show around this time as well.

As we celebrate Cabrini College’s 50 year anniversary it is important to remember everything, including the movies of that time. These are films that the young women who started at Cabrini 50 years ago watched and loved. Maybe they even had movie nights in the mansion back then too.

I Love Lucy, Mr. Ed, Rin Tin Tin, Sam and Lassie. These television shows are just a tiny fraction of the most popular during the 1950s. Television in the ‘50s was vastly different to what is seen today.

“Television was aimed towards families in the ‘50s. We would all sit around on Saturday nights and watch it together,” said Dr. Kathleen McKinley, sociology professor.

The shows of the ’50s followed simple plots where there was a problem which was solved within a half hour. It wasn’t like television today where people have to tune in every week to find out what’s next for their favorite characters.

Jack Benny and Ed Sullivan brought a fun variety show to television. They had a variety of different characters and sketches to keep people entertained.

“Last Comic Standing and Comedy Central do a lot of what we used to see on prime time,” McKinley said. “Stand up comedy on the radio and television was part of everyone’s weekend.”

Animal shows were huge during the ‘50s. “Lassie,” “Mr. Ed” and “My Friend Flicka” were some of the biggest shows of this time period. In the shows, animals were depicted as being able to perform extraordinary acts such as talking or rescuing small children from wells. Today, children look up to talking sponges and high school students who sing every five seconds.

“There have always been bad guys on television, but today they’re more likely to

be criminals. It used to be ‘evil doers’ and outlaws doing all the dirty work,” McKinley said.

The reason for this change is that television has to change to become more believable. People aren’t going to tune in to see something unrealistic to them. They like seeing shows where they can actually be afraid of something. On a show like “Law & Order,” criminals come off as being realistic and actually being capable of harming someone.

The most popular form of television comes in a sitcom. The iconic “I Love Lucy” was one of the most watched shows in history. The show skyrocketed Lucille Ball into the limelight. People will never forget some of her hilarious sketches that have withstood the test of time. Today, people tune in to see their favorite char-

acters on “The Office” and “Friends” take place in bizarre situations.

Teenagers now retreat to MTV when they need an escape from the real world, no pun intended. There they can watch “Laguna Beach,” “TRL” and “Next.” These shows keep them entertained with current mainstream music and various celebrities. “American Bandstand” was the big hit of the ‘50s amongst teenagers. “It helped to define a generation….a generation that was growing out of the Mickey Mouse Club and wanted to be identified as teenagers,” McKinley said.

While the faces, language, content and much more have changed about television, one thing has remained a constant. People are still tuning in to their favorite shows to stay entertained, and it doesn’t seem as though that will end anytime soon.

Grey’s Anatomy is back for another thrilling season. The whole group is back minus Isaiah Washington and Kate Walsh. The season premiere was a good start of the drama to come. McDreamy’s “girl from the bar” has turned out to be Meredith’s half sister. That is sure to stir up plenty of problems.

Callie has the new chief position. Our favorite “Nazi,” Bailey is still upset that she wasn’t given the job. Callie struggles to figure out what she needs to do as the new chief as well as try to figure out how to gain everyone’s respect.

The only disappointing part of the episode was the plot with Izzy and the deer. I think the drama with her saving the deer was a bit much and a bit off the wall. I didn’t like how it was placed in the episode.

I look forward to seeing how Izzy and George’s friendship will play out. Will George and Izzy finally get together? The previews are a big tease, but perhaps we will find out next week. This season is going to be very interesting.

ABC’s season premiere of “Private Practice” aired Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 9 p.m. The Grey’s Anatomy spin-off show staring Kate Walsh, also known as Dr. Addison Montgomery, starts off with her resigning from Seattle Grace’s drama-filled hospital, and heading south to Los Angeles.

Joining the Private Practice and Wellness Center of her friend Naomi, played by Audra McDonald and Naomi’s husband Jackson, played by Taye Diggs, Addison is a little shocked on how “private” the practice really is.

After a fast moving hospital in Seattle, Addison comes to her new job to find she will get personal with only one patient a day, if that.

While flirting with co-worker Pete Wilder, played by Tim Daly, she runs across her first patient, a 15- year-old girl in labor. With the girl’s father furious, complications occur during the procedure and Addison has to use her talents to the best she can to save both the girl and the baby’s life.

She proves to her unaccepting co-workers that her world-class skills will be put to good use and she will be staying in Los

Reed, performer.

Angeles no matter what. Addison comes to realize she loves this new lifestyle.

Psychologist Violet Turner, played by Amy Brennerman, runs into a problem with her patient having a breakdown while Naomi and Jackson try to revive a dead husband and try to keep control of the wife and mistress.

I strongly disliked the season premiere of “Private Practice.” Being a huge “Grey’s Anatomy” fan, I know that Kate Walsh is an extremely intense character. In my opinion, her character does not fit well with the small practice atmosphere that is in “Private Practice” and she had better chemistry with the characters in “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Also, I feel as though this show will get boring because there will not be many new characters coming in and out of the show, due to the practice being so small and the setting not being a fast paced hospital. Although I did not like the season premiere, I will watch the next episode to see if I was being too critical in “Greys’ ” defense.

Personally, I am very interested to see what the audience makes out of this show and the publics opinion after a few episodes.

What could a Spice girl, a Bond girl and a professional boxer have in common? The desire to learn how to ballroom dance! The fifth season of “Dancing with the Stars” is the “dawn of a new era.” The season premiered Monday, Sept. 24, on ABC Network.

The dazzling stars lit up the dance floor with their performances Monday night. The new female stars of the show are Melanie Brown “Mel B,” a former Spice Girl, Jane Seymour, a former Bond girl, Jennie Garth, Kelly Taylor of “90210,” Josie Moran, a supermodel, Sabrina Bryan, a Cheetah Girl from Disney’s original movie, “Cheetah Girls” and Marie Osmond, professional performer. The women were first to perform.

The second night was the night for the men to perform. The male celebrities are Floyd Mayweather Jr., professional boxer, Wayne Newton, Vegas performer, Cameron Mathison, of “All My Children,” Helio Castroneves, race car driver, Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Albert

The show’s objective is to take celebrities who have never performed ballroom dancing before and have a strong desire to learn how to ballroom dance. The celebrities meet with professional dance partners who teach them the steps and put together choreography for the show. During the show the couples perform live in front of a set of judges and an audience. The judges all have previous experience dancing or judging dance contests.

This year’s host, Tom Bergeron has a new co-host this year, Drew Lachey, a celebrity dancer from season two. Lachey is filling in for former co-hostess Samantha Harris, who is on maternity leave. She plans to come back before the end of the season.

The stars from the first two shows that were outstanding were Jennie Garth, Sabrina Bryan and Floyd Mayweather. These celebrities brought a new element to ballroom dancing.

Unfortunately, Josie Moran and her partner did not perform well. They received the lowest score the first night and it was not a surprise that they were the first to be kicked off of the show this week.

The gritty new drama depicts life two years after Hurricane Katrina ripped through the city of New Orleans. Two unlikely partners, Marlin Boulet (Anthony Anderson), a veteran NOPD Felony Action Squad officer, and Trevor Cobb (Cole Hauser), a soldier who served in Afghanistan, team up together to help restore peace to the city they loved and continue to love.

There is a lack of police and facilities to house them, but those who remain have a passion that will take more than the average criminal to break. Already, a lack of trust surfaces among the partners as they seem to have more to them than meets the eye.

Already through the first episode the partners have found themselves in the middle of chaotic high-speed chases and multiple shoot-outs. If K-Ville keeps it up it will prove to be one hell of a ride.

Five Times August swoons fans

Five Times August performed an acoustic set on Tuesday, Sept. 25 in Jazzman’s Café.

24-year-old Brad Skistimas is the driving force behind this one-man band that emerged from Arlington, Texas.

As students arrived, they had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Skistimas before he made his way to the stage.

A little after 9 p.m., Five Times August began the show with the reminiscent breakup ballad, “It’s Over.”

Before Skistimas transitioned into the second song of the set he jokingly interacted with the audience.

“You’re a wild crowd, Cabrini kids,” Skistimas said. “There’s a little bit of room for a mosh pit up here if ya want.”

Four songs into the set, Skistimas explained the background of the song “Wherever,” which details the breakup with his ex-girlfriend at the age of 19.

Declaring that he is single, Skistimas appealed to the female audience members.

“For the next four minutes while I’m singing this song, I’m dating everyone that’s here.”

Skistimas continued the show playing a total of nine songs, including a cover of the theme song from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Following his performance, Skistimas took time out to greet fans, take pictures and sign autographs.

Manager of Five Times August Kelly Vandergriff was impressed with the turnout.

“Anytime you can bring out this many people on a Tuesday night, it’s a good thing.”

In a private interview after the show, Skistimas expressed why he prefers performing at colleges as opposed to other venues.

“Other venues you have the bar scene with alcohol involved where with college performances you know they are coming out just to see you.”

Skistimas was pleased with the turnout and was rewarded with positive feedback from newly found fans.

Philled with desire

The Philadelphia Phillies, as of Sept. 12, were seven games behind the New York Mets in the National League East with 17 games remaining. Chances looked dim, so Philly fans looked to play catchup with the San Diego Padres for the Wild Card instead. Who would of thought that neither the Mets nor the Padres would make the playoffs and the Phillies would hang another banner in Citizen’s Bank Park?

Sept. 30 was a day that Mets and Phil’s’ fans would remember for the rest of their lives; a day that would go down in Major League history for the best comeback in amount of games left in the season.

Citizen’s Bank Park and Shea Stadium in New York were ready to host one of the biggest games of the season. With a loss from one team and a win on the other end, it would seal the fate for that winning team to run with the NL East title.

As the fans filled the seats, nervousness overcame them because it came down to this single, solitary game. All bets were off.

Inside the Phil’s ballpark, momentum was on their side due to the recent losing streak of the Mets and it simply got better when the Florida Marlins and Mets score appeared on the scoreboard showing 7-0 in favor of the Marlins.

Lady Cavs fall to Arcadia

The women’s soccer team evened their winning percentage to .500 on Saturday after falling to rival Arcadia University by a score of 3-2.

The game opened with a goal by sophomore team scoring leader Sabina DeGisi less than two minutes in. The assist came from junior Chrissy Regan off a corner kick.

After a number of penalty kick attempts, Kat Kraemer of the Knights finally connected at the 41:37 mark with a shot from the left side into the top right corner of Cabrini’s net.

With the score tied, the Cavaliers fought back and DeGisi scored for the second time on an unassisted breakaway 51:29 in.

Ten minutes later, Arcadia’s Samantha Calhoun beat her defender to once again even the score.

As the game continued, freshman goal-

ie Cheyenne White made an outstanding save during a penalty kick that ricocheted in favor of the Knights, resulting in a controversial goal by Jamie Bradford.

The Cavaliers registered three shots on goal and seven corner kicks. White finished with 13 saves in the net.

With the loss, the Lady Cavaliers are 5-5 overall and remain 3-1 in the conference.

After the game, junior co-captain Brittany Shields said, “Today we came out strong knowing that this team was tough and was going to fight until the last minute. We worked hard at every position but we just couldn’t come out with the win. Our goalie especially helped us stay in the game. All we can do is learn from the tough loss and use it for the PAC games.”

The Lady Cavs look forward to the next PAC games. Being huge games, the team plans on working hard at practice and come out to show they deserve to win the title this year.

As the waving rally towels cast a flood of white in the stands, veteran Jamie Moyer, a Philadelphia native, walked to the mound to start the game. Moyer, 13-12, couldn’t believe he was on the mound for this game. He could remember skipping school and going to Philadelphia City Hall to cheer on his Phils in 1980. Now it was time for the fans to return the cheers in his favor according to SI.com.

As the game progressed and the Phils showing why they deserved to win the championship, word came in that the unthinkable happened and the Mets went 5-12 in their last 17 games and lost to another division team. It all came down to the Phils to pull out the win.

With an all-around strong game from the All-Stars, the win looked to be within reach. In the top of the 9th, pitcher Brett Myers was the chosen one to be in the limelight to register a win for Moyer. With a strike-three curveball thrown past the watching Wily Mo Pena, the awaited 13year long celebration began. It brought the squad running to the mound with champagne and beer to douse one another with and a celebration that lasted well into Monday, Oct. 1 where the team was warmly welcomed by the fans at City Hall in Philadelphia.

The Phils will now have home field advantage against the Colorado Rockies in the National League Divisional Series on Wednesday, Oct. 3 and truly prove that they can be called the “Phitan Phils.”

Field hockey records second win

They went from a team without a win, to a team on a two game winning streak. Field hockey’s strong first half led to their second consecutive win of the season in a thrilling, yet hard-fought victory against Arcadia University on Sept. 29, winning 4-3.

A warm, yet breezy afternoon set the stage for Saturday’s game on Cabrini’s home field, as Fall Fest weekend kicked off. Family and friends piled in to catch a non-conference game.

It appeared as though the field was tilted towards Arcadia’s goal in the first half as Cabrini dominated play. Junior Melissa Benedetti scored the first goal for the Cavs, followed by another from sophomore Bridget Bergen for a 2-0 lead within the first 25 minutes of the game. Bergen scored yet another goal with just two minutes left in the half, making the score comfortable at 3-0.

Arcadia had just one shot in the first half.

Entering the second half, Cabrini’s lead quickly diminished as Arcadia rallied and found themselves only one goal behind. The two unanswered goals by Arcadia’s forward put much pressure on the Cavalier defense, untested in the first.

Cavalier’s freshman goalie Caitlin Donahue made a huge save on a two-on-one disadvantage to keep the lead just long enough for Bergen’s third and final goal to enter the Arcadia net.

Before Bergen could even get a word out, her teammates and coach were willing to speak for her.

“The goal really picked up the team after a slow start to the second half,” said Shannon Mulhern, a freshman undeclared major.

“Bergen’s third goal was wonderful,” coach Jackie Neary said. “I was on Bridget

all September. She is becoming a leader and I am very proud of her.”

“Today we really pulled everything together and played when under pressure of Arcadia’s rally,” Bergen said.

The women never lost the lead, but came close once again by giving up another goal before finally winning 4-3. Bergen’s goal proved to be the game winner.

“A team with a lead as big as we had tends to give it up when they relax their play,” Neary said. “Most importantly, we got the win.”

With the win, the girls are already looking forward to their upcoming games.

“It was a fun game and I can’t wait for October,” Ashley Walton, a freshman elementary education major, said.

College stress can lead to depression in students

hopelessness, guilt and worthlessness, thoughts of death or suicide.

The first step in defeating depression is recognizing it. Five or more symptoms for two weeks or longer, or noticeable changes in usual functioning, are all factors that should be evaluated by a health or mental health professional.

Health Nut

College offers new experiences and challenges. This can be exciting - it can also be stressful and make you, or someone you know, feel sad. But when “the blues” last for weeks, or interfere with academic or social functioning, it may be clinical depression.

National Depression Screening Day is on Thursday, October 4th. Counseling Services will be providing free screenings & information on depression outside Founders Hall from 12-2pm. Please stop by and visit us!

Clinical depression can affect your body, mood, thoughts, and behavior. It can change your eating habits, how you feel and think about things, your ability to work and study and how you interact with people.

Major depression is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with your ability to work, sleep, eat and enjoy once pleasurable activities. These impairing episodes of depression can occur once, twice, or several times in a lifetime.

Some symptoms of major depression are sadness, anxiety, or “empty” feelings, decreased energy, loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, sleep disturbances, appetite and weight changes, feelings of

Depression often runs in families, which usually means that some, but not all, family members have a tendency to develop the illness. On the other hand, sometimes people who have no family history also develop depression.

In coping with stress, some people find writing in a journal, exercising, or talking with friends helpful. But in clinical depression you need some form of treatment to start feeling better soon.

Common stressors in college life include: greater academic demands, being on your own in a new environment, changes in family relations, financial responsibilities, changes in your social life, exposure to new people, ideas, and temptation, awareness of your sexual identity and orientation and preparing for life after graduation.

Medication usually is effective in controlling manic symptoms and preventing the recurrence of both manic and depressive episodes.

Thoughts of death or suicide are usually signs of severe depression. “If you’re feeling like you can’t cope anymore, or that life isn’t worth living, get help,” advised Darrel, a student who tried to kill himself during his freshman year. “Talking to a professional can get you past those intense feelings and save your life.”

Suicidal feelings, thoughts, impulses, or behaviors always should be taken seriously. If you are thinking about hurting or killing yourself, seek help immediately.

Contact someone you trust to help you: a good friend, academic or resident advisor, or staff at the student health or counseling center, a professor, coach or advisor, public safety (610-902-8245), a suicide prevention hotline (1-800-273-8255), a hospital or emergency room or call 911. If someone you know has thoughts about suicide, the best thing to do is help him or her get professional help.

Several effective treatments for depression are available and can provide relief from symptoms in just a few weeks. The most commonly used treatments are psychotherapy, antidepressant medication, or a combination of the two. Which is the best treatment for an individual depends on the nature and severity of the depression.

The best thing you can do for a depressed friend is to help him or her get treatment. This may involve encouraging the person to seek professional help or to stay in treat-

ment once it is begun. The next best thing is to offer emotional support. People are sometimes reluctant to seek help because they are concerned about the cost of treatment. Cabrini offers free and confidential counseling to students. Another option is to call your health insurance company to find out about your mental health benefits.

If you or someone you know is suffering from symptoms of depression, you can reach counseling services at 610-902-8561 or stop by the office. Counseling services is located in Grace Hall room 196. You can either make n appointment or stop by during walk-in hours from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Eagles Move to 1-3

Forget about flying high, the Eagles are barley able to get off the ground losing to the “G-Men” 16-3. Sunday night’s nationally televised game showed “The Birds” offensive struggle without injured star Brian Westbrook. The defense looked good holding the New York Giants to 16 points, but the offense had a long night of picking McNabb off of the turf. The Ealges will have a bye this week, which allows them to get healthy and recover before they try to conquer the New York Jets in week six.

Phillies win National League East

The Phitan Phils are the 2007 NL East champions for the first time since 1993. The comparisons are many between the 1993 club and the current champions. They won it with a historic streak, capturing 13 of their last 17 games as the New York Mets went 5-12. It came down to the last day as the Phils beat the Nationals 6-1 on the back of MVP candidate Jimmy Rollins and Philadelphia native Jamie Moyer. The champagne was flowing and city embraced their Phillies who will go to the post season for the first time in 14 years.

Hunt for October

It’s the Hunt for October and the Colorado Rockies will play the San Diego Padres in a one game playoff to decide the opponent for the Philadelphia Phillies. The other National League deciding game will be between the Chicago Cubs and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The American League will showcase the New York Yankees against the Cleveland Indians and the Los Angeles Angels against the Boston Red Sox. According to experts on ESPN.com, no matter who gets out of the NL, the AL will win the World Series even though recent history contradicts this, with winning teams like the Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals.

Germany wins World Cup

The championship game had defending champions Germany against the up and coming stars of Brazil. The Germans were the first team to be able to repeat in the Cup’s History beating Brazil 2-0. The Germans breezed through the tournament scoring 21 goals and giving up not one. After the United States fell victim to Brazil, the stage was set for a German repeat. The U.S. squad got a little redemption beating Norway 4-1 on their way to a third place finish.

Cavs winning streak continues

parison to the second half.

The Cabrini Men’s soccer team continued their streak of success this past Saturday, Sept. 29, when they defeated Waynesburg 4-0 on their home field. The non-conference win raised their overall record to 11-1.

The Cavaliers came out and dominated early but did not score until about fifteen minutes into the game. Senior forward Joe Rotan received a pass from Barry Magagna, a senior mid-fielder, at the top of the eighteen yard box and fired a shot low far post. This ended up being the only goal in the first half.

Cabrini came out strong in the 2nd half and netted three more. The first came off of a direct kick in the 57th minute. Senior back Joe Blaney chipped the ball to freshman mid-fielder, Matt O’Shaughnessy, who then found the back of the net.

Less than two minutes later, Cabrini had a corner kick. After the ball was kicked around in front of the net a few times, sophomore mid-fielder, Brian Moran, knocked the ball in the goal. Senior forward, Mike McDevitt assisted on the play.

The final goal of the contest was scored in the 85th minute by sophomore mid-field Andrew Jacobs. He headed the ball in the net off a cross from senior mid-field Ryan Kirby.

Head coach, Glen Jaskelewicz talked about the difference in the first half in com-

“After we scored, we got away from playing possession and started playing too much over the top. In the second half we worked on getting more possession and getting our midfield more involved,” Jaskelewicz said. “Brian Moran scored in the 2nd half with our midfield being more involved.”

The win just adds to the number that continues to go up. The Cavaliers are off to one of their best starts so far, with one loss and an undefeated league record. Even though the team has most of its same players from last year, they are having a much more successful season.

“The biggest difference about this year is experience. We have so many returning starters and subs that play a good amount of time,” Mike McDevitt said, a senior human resource management major.

Jaskelewicz also talked about experience playing a huge role in the success his team has had so far. “We have six or seven starters who were juniors last year and experienced losses they don’t want to happen again this year.”

As the Cavaliers move further into the season, there are still things they know they need to work on.

“We need to improve on playing a full 90 minutes of soccer,” McDevitt said. “We can’t have spurts of kick and run.”

They have seven games remaining in the regular season and then begin postseason play.

6 named to Athletic Hall of Fame

JESSICA HAGERTY SPORTS EDITOR JH729@CABRINI EDU

Six Cabrini alumni were inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at the second annual induction dinner on Friday, Sept. 28.

Those inducted were F. Eugene (Fitz) Dixon Jr. and Edith Robb Dixon, Roseanne Carfagno Corcoran, Jessi Valerio Gougler, Megan Johnston and Tom Lemieux.

In 2006, the Athletic Hall of Fame was established to recognize individuals who have contributed to the success and growth of the athletic program.

The dinner took place in Grace Hall after a cocktail and social hour in the mansion. Opening remarks at the banquet were given by Athletic Director Leslie Danehy and President Antoinette Iadarola.

Shortly after dinner was served each inductee was recognized by administration or their head coach and each of them received a standing ovation.

Iadarola inducted the Dixons as friends of Cabrini College Athletics. Since 1973, Mrs. Dixon has served on the Board of Trustees and she and her late husband have contributed to the George D. Widener Center, the Dixon House, the Dixon Center, the tennis facilities and the state-of-the-art artificial grass lower field.

“We are attempting in a small way to repay them for what they have done for the college,” Iadarola said. “We are

Evan Hanauer, a sophomore political science major and an outside midfielder and striker, is proving himself to be a strong asset to the Cabrini men’s soccer team.

Achieving recognition throughout the world of college soccer, Hanauer started off the season by winning the offensive Most Valuable Player at the Roger Williams Soccer Tournament on Sept. 2 and was named Pennsylvania Athletic Conference player of the week for Sept. 17.

honoring them for being great friends to the college.”

Iadarola also said that the Dixon’s did not just write a check out to the college to fund these facilities but they are very big supporters of the school as well.

Corcoran was introduced by former softball coach and history professor James Hedtke. Corcoran, who transferred as a junior, was a two-time All-Pennsylvania Athletic Conference honoree and earned

al Team picks. As a junior, Johnstson was named to the All-American First Team after leading the Cavaliers to placing third in the country.

“All of these honors and records would not be possible without the help of my teammates,” Johnston said. “I was a good player because of them and their skills.”

Honored for his outstanding men’s lacrosse performances, Lemieux was introduced by head men’s lacrosse coach Steve Colfer.

Lemieux finished his four-year career at Cabrini as the alltime leading scorer. The two-year captain also helped lead the Cavaliers to PAC crowns in both 2001 and 2002.

After playing soccer for 15 years in his hometown of Royersford, Pa., Hanauer came to Cabrini College as a freshman and joined the men’s soccer team with a dominant drive for success and a strong commitment.

The men’s soccer team is currently 7-1. In Hanauer’s mind, the team should be 8-0 when looking at the stats, but he has looked past that upset and moved on. Hanauer is always concentrating on moving forward and improving not only his own game, but in addition, looks to improve with the rest of the men as a team.

No one is perfect and Hanauer admits he most definitely has skills to work on. He replies to the question of what those specific weaknesses are with: “I just want to work on increasing my focus while I’m out on the field and being confident whenever I have the ball.”

The freshmen that are putting forth their talents on the men’s soccer team this fall, according to Hanauer, are Mike Viscariello, Ryan Day, Troy Allen, Steve Reynolds, Chris Katzman, Rafi Mahserejian, Matt O’Shaughnessy and Paolo Siciliano.

the Most Valuable Player honors both seasons, as well as serving as team captain her senior year. The 1994 graduate led the team in every offensive category for two years. In her senior year she took the Cavaliers to the finals of the PAC Championships in the league’s first year sponsoring the sport.

Gougler, of the class of 1999, was inducted by head field hockey and lacrosse coach Jackie Neary for her outstanding athletic performance. Gougler, still the top career scoring leader in field hockey, also ended her lacrosse career at Cabrini with three All-PAC selections. In the team’s second year of existence, she helped the team to the title game of the conference championship.

Former softball coach Bridget Baxter Orchard introduced Johnston of the class of 2002. Johnston was inducted for her four All-PAC honors and three All-Region-

“Without my unbelievable teammates and coaches this honor would not be possible,” Lemieuz said.

The event ended with closing remarks from Hedtke in which he extended a heartfelt congratulations to each of the inductees.

Nomination forms for the following Hall of Fame induction can be found online for anyone to fill out at www.cabriniathletics. com. Each nominee is considered and the final inductees should be annoumced by the end of the 2007-2008 academic school year.

“Everyone [brings] their own attributes to the team,” Hanauer said. One new player in particular to keep an eye on, in Hanauer’s view is freshman Matt O’Shaughnessy, who plays midfielder. “He has been playing well so far this season,” Hanauer said.

Although the dynamics of the team are changed every year due to the incoming freshman, Hanauer said, “At the college level it’s more of the upperclassmen holding the team together when the going gets tough because they have that emotional experience when games really get into the grind.”

Hanauer has high hopes for the games to come. “We are a bunch of work horses,” Hanauer says. “Everyone gives 110 percent all of the time and everyone just has a lot of pure soccer talent.”
