Involvement Fair Recap
The U.S. governmental system is “totally broken and Congress has done practically nothing to deal with it,” according to a Catholic cardinal who’s made immigration his life’s work. Cardinal Roger M. Mahony, archbishop emeritus of Los Angeles, Calif., encouraged students and faculty to see immigrants not as “others” - but as themselves. “[When] we come out of the economic downturn, you’re gonna hear far less about immigrants as a threat,” Mahony said. “We send two distinct messages at our borders: ‘No Trespassing’ and ‘Help Wanted.’ Because we want it both ways: ‘yes, please come and do all these low-skill, low-income jobs, but please don’t come.’ We’re used to having it both ways.” His presentation on Friday, Sept. 14 provided both biblical
and historical contexts for people “on the move,” from Moses guiding captive Jews out of Egypt in the Old Testament, to, according to Mahony, the first migrants in recorded history: Adam and Eve. “Adam and Eve got tossed out of the garden, you remember, because of their sin, their misconduct,” Mahony said. “And they became the first ones to be on the move.” President Reagan was the last president to introduce a piece of immigration legislation: in 1986, he signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act into law. Now, 26 years later, Obama’s immigration policy will permit undocumented immigrants under age 30 to stay and work in the U.S. provided they have a high school diploma or GED, or are otherwise enlisted in the military. Obama’s provision for these undocumented immigrants, however, will only buy them five years. “Every time in our history [that] we have a downturn in the economy, or a recession, or a

depression, immigrants become the brunt of the blame,” Mahony said. “We always do this.” Mahony cited Leviticus 19:33-34 for how immigrants should be treated: “When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt.” Even “native-born” Philadelphians come from families that once were aliens. “Philadelphia was the primary port of entry for all of the immigrants in the early decades of our history,” Mahony said. He described the 1780s as a time when the first settlers in the colonies were so desperate for workers that they sent agents back to Europe to attract the manpower necessary for building railroads and working the land; eventually, he said, the improvement of ship conditions led to the influx of immigrants that led to our country’s prosperity.

Mission The Loquitur student newspaper and website are integral parts of the educational mission of the Cabrini Communication department, namely, to educate students to take their places in the public media. The newspaper and website provide a forum of free expression. All members of the college community may submit work to the editors for possible inclusion. Publication is based on the editorial decision of the student editors.
e, the Loquitur staff, believe in the biblical command to “welcome the stranger.” Regardless of creed, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity, we as humans should offer a seat at the table for everyone. This past week, with visits by awardwinning journalist Sonia Nazario and lifelong immigrant rights advocate Cardinal Mahony, many faculty, staff and students engaged in two days of discussion about the responsibility of Cabrini College to be a leader of immigration reform. Here at Cabrini, of course, the realities of immigration are hardly foreign. St. Frances Xavier Cabrini is the patron saint of immigrants, after all - though that fact seems to go overlooked or altogether ignored by many. After Nazario and Mahony left campus, however, the discussion of immigration reform didn’t stop. The college began an in-depth conversation about their own long-term action plan, led by student leaders on immigration who reflected on Nazario’s and Mahony’s presentations. As the college considers how to move forward to even greater leadership with regard to immigration, we want to call attention to the deep commitment of a group of faculty and students over the past four years. We wish to recognize the vital partnership that the college has forged with the surrounding community. For about four years now, students from the Spanish department have been assisting with afterschool programs in Norristown, where they’ve worked with Latino immigrant students at the public high school and, starting this fall, at Stuart Middle School. Working intimately as academic tutors, life coaches and engaging role models, these Cabrini students have run the gamut of crucial roles that young minds require in
order to succeed - but this wasn’t a simple or easy partnership to forge. They recalled feeling apprehensive at first, faced with mentoring kids that were unresponsive during their initial visits. For the kids, at first their presence was thought to be temporary at best – in the four years
since, though, they’ve been proven wrong. Over the course of their time with the program, the Cabrini volunteers became aware that there were multiple layers to their work: what started out as help with math and English developed into a deeper understanding of the Norristown area. The low literacy rates among the Latino students and their necessary function in the upbringing of their own siblings painted a picture of adversity and disadvantage. Struggles like theirs have never been all that well advertised on the Main Line. The more we learn of the dedication of the Spanish department faculty and ECG students, the more we admire their four-

year commitment. Now a new group of ECG freshmen are being groomed as the program expands. These students and faculty set an example for all of us of dedication to our global community, across barriers of language, culture and immigration status. We, as a global community, can’t continue with the way we’ve been debating immigration. This isn’t to say that one opinion on the subject should be picked over another – it’s just a matter of educating our hearts first, not our minds. There’s no easy path to resolving the immigration system – but there’s also no easy path for immigrants to come here legally. Both speakers, during their presentations, stood in front of the mural of immigrants on the wall in Grace Hall. This backdrop is why their visits were so important: immigration is our identity. Without those from backgrounds unlike our own, how will we move forward as a country that prides itself on diversity, on unquestioned inclusion? As a society defined by its inherent individualism, the answer to immigration seems obvious: fix it, and provide immigrants with the essential human rights of dignity and safety; with the ability to provide for their families and to play an integral role in an ever-expanding, everglobalizing community. The answer won’t come from asking “how,” but from asking “for whom”: for your neighbor, for your housekeeper, gardener, nanny, teacher, congressman - for the stranger who would welcome you if only you would welcome them.

Cardinal Mahony seen here conversing with the College’s President, Dr. Marie Angelella George.
Mahony explained that immigrants started taking lowpaying jobs after WWII - and the pattern continues today. “During this period, we also [had] the ‘Know Nothings,’ and the first anti-immigrant sentiment,” Mahony said. “The Know Nothings – they feared competition from foreigners, they didn’t like religion, politics, etcetera – demanded laws to slow down and stop the flow of immigrants.” Mahony explained that the Know Nothings had a stronghold in Philadelphia, and it was because of them that Villanova University was built so far from the city: they frequently burned down churches and entire parishes in protest. The Augustinians who founded Villanova didn’t want to put their students’ lives at risk.
Fast-forwarding to today, Mahony tackled the topic of our modern yet unchanged anti-immigrant rhetoric, asking simply, “What went wrong?” According to Mahony, nothing did go wrong. One of the things we need to do today to move forward is to move away from our focus on the system of immigration,” Mahony said, “and focus upon immigrants themselves. We must ask ourselves, ‘Who are these people in our midst? And how do we help them move forward?’” BTD28@CABRINI.EDU ARM364@CABRINI.EDU

“Enrique’s Journey” author recalls her own migration experiences BY ROBERT RICHES News Editor BY GREGORY SMITH Staff Writer
Hoping to humanize immigrants as well as social justice topics concerning immigration of Latinos to the United States was the focus of a speech by author Sonia Nazario. To humanize immigrants was the reason Pulitzer-Prize author Nazario risked her own life. To write the story of 16-year-old Enrique as he made his journey from Honduras to find his mother in the United States, Nazario lived for six months as a migrant herself. Nazario wrote “Enrique’s Journey,” a true story based on a teenage boy’s journey to find his mother in the United States and the struggles and dangers he encountered while on his 14,000-mile migration. Jumping the trains was only part of the danger. Those who did not fall off the trains and lose arms, legs or their lives had to worry about low-hanging tree limbs, border patrols that would deport illegal riders, and cartels that would kidnap and hold the train-jumpers for ransom, often ending in murder regardless.
“I could see the gangsters knifing people on the train car ahead of me,” Nazario said while recalling the experience of riding on top of a train with a train jumper. Nazario offered some background about her own life in addition to stories about the struggles that immigrants have gone through. “My father’s death had plunged my family from being middle class to being working poor,” Nazario said. My mom…had got a job as a seamstress and as a minimumwage cook. At 15, I went to work bussing tables to help her pay the bills.” Nazario also brought up a statistic relating to immigration to the United States- that on a yearly basis, 1 million immigrants immigrate legally and 300,000 migrate illegally. Nazario presented a case as seen in Enrique’s Journey that has been the case for thousands upon thousands of immigrants over time- where a parent migrates to the United States to work and send money back home to their families. One can only imagine the feelings from not being able to see a parent for many years while they migrate to a new, faraway land.

Nazario speaking at the Grace Hall Atrium on Thursday, Sept. 13 “It’s also true that if you come here and leave your kids for 10 years, they’re going to resent and walk up to the line of hating you,” Nazario said. Enrique did ultimately succeed in his journey by riding on tops of freight trains running throughout Mexico. As daring of an expedition as that is, he is not the only one to do so. “There are thousands of children who make this journey in this way every year to come find their moms,” Nazario said. “The youngest I heard about was a seven-year-old boy.” Nazario ended her speech with some motivation on how we could all do our part to solve the problem of immigration. “If a boy like Enrique is able to make it all the way to North Carolina, imagine what we
could all accomplish to reduce this flow of immigration by mustering up enough determination,” Nazario said. Following the speech, Nazario was open for a brief question- and- answer session. When asked why she decided to follow Enrique’s journey in detail, Nazario responded simply and powerfully. “I really wanted you to feel like you were sitting right next to him,” Nazario said.
Visiting Russian professor enlightens campus BY BEATRICE MCQUISTON Engagement Editor BY LIA FERRANTE Perspectives Editor
Students were engaged when listening to a professor from Russia speak about the business world of his country. Nikolai Klushin, a professor from the University of Nizhni Novgorod in Russia, came to Cabrini to talk to students about historical events that occurred in Russia. Klushin was the senior teacher of English at Nizhni Novgorod Linguistic University from 1981-1995, the Professor-coordinator at Nizhni Novgorod Institute of Management and Business from 1995-1997, and now heads the English Department at Lobachevsky State University of Nizhni Novgorod. Professor Vonya Womack, Instructor of Business Administration, opened the class with wise words to her students about how to look at different perspectives from other cultures with an open mind. She emphanzied on the importance of learning about different people’s backgrounds and where everyone came from. “Perspectives of people should be not be judged before you know the person,” Womack said. Klushin began with an attentive and interesting explanation of the history of Russia and where he was from, Nizni Novgorod. He explained the hardships and struggles that the Russian people had with their government. “I am not a leader by nature, I’m lead,” Klushin said. The Russian people had all the resources they needed to be successful, but the government continued to take their money and they were left poor. In 1991, the Russian society gained their independence and started to create their own businesses, and trading goods with Poland. Russia then gained knowledge in the car industry. This made their businesses become successful and the economy grew with people coming from all over the world. He explained how it was cheaper in Russia to purchase cars and they handled a lot

of different car companies.Klushin always emphanzied the difference between America’s society and Russia’s society which was very intriguing and an eye-opener for all of the students. He also talked in dept about where he teaches at, Nizni Novgorod. “Nizni Novgorod is the change that was happening and is still happening in Russia today,” Klushin said. After a brief summary on the history of Russia, Klushin talked more about his personal life and was open to answering questions from the class. The questions ranged from the culture, the people, business in Russia, the media, and the education that students went through. “People in Russia are full of hope, hope is the last thing to die,” Klushin said to a student’s question. He made it important to discuss how Russia and America used to be enemies, but are now friends. Russia strives to be successful and has achieved that goal. Klushin feels comfortable being in America today and was happy to come and talk to the students about Russia’s culture and his life. “I am here, I feel at home here, Russians are the same,” Klushin said.

What skill sets do you have that make you a good leader? This was the question of the day in Grace Hall this Sunday. Students were invited to the year’s opening LEADstrong Workshop. Students were assigned to tables with a counselor. The workshop gave students the oppurtunities to answer questions that challenged them to evaluate their own leadership skills as well as develop their own. Cookies, coffee and other refreshments were available to participants. “It is all about helping students identify what they need to become leaders.” Andy West, coordinator of facilities and operations said. During the workshop, a number of exercises and activities were used by the students in order to help them realize their potential. Each student seated at the tables got to know those around them on a personal level. The exercises raised such leadership subjects as positive thinking, encouraging others, overcoming difficulties, accepting criticism and using it to improve, growing in abilities, using and applying strengths, and recognizing goals. “Be specific with your goals,” West said. “Break down what you want to accomplish to their fundamental components.” Every student at each table contributed in the activities. Some even gave examples of goals they planned or accomplished. What was presented to them forced them to think of what they planned to do and how they planned to do it. “Leadership is not about a position or a title you hold,” West said. “It is about developing skills to help you become the person that you want to be.” The first exercise consisted of students writing down five verbs and nouns that best described themselves. However, most students found themselves having trouble with this and were lucky to write down three words. “LEADstrong is a great way for students to become stronger on themselves...to help find their voice, vision, and victory,” Robinson said. The focus of the workshop was to let students look at themselves and realize their true potential. One of the exercises allowed the students to realize leadership within their own context. “Be kind, gentle and thoughtful and make the world a better place.” human resources major Caitlyn Canfield said.

No deal, no school in Chicago A teachers’ strike is now officially in place as negotiations came to a halt on Sunday night with no agreement reached. This strike was estimated to affect hundreds of thousands of families, leaving them to spend their weekend frantically rearranging work schedules or searching for alternate programs or babysitters, in the event the schools would be closed for a long period of time. Union leaders had hoped to not have to walk away from their jobs, but said they were left with little choice. A contingency plan has been enacted by the school system. Negotiations have been going on since November. READ THE ORIGINAL STORY ON NYTIMES.COM SEPT. 10, 2012

In response to a question posed by Mitt Romney asking if Americans are better off than they were four years ago, the Obama campaign answered with a resounding yes. They argue that Romney is not looking out for the best interests of the middle class. They question what the next four years would look like under Romney. The goal for the Obama campaign four years ago was to prove him worthy of the presidency, whereas this year it is to show that he is connected to the middle class.
Former President Bill Clinton gave President Obama his full endorsement in a speech on the second night of the Democratic National Convention. He rebutted arguments made during the Republican National Convention and offered descriptive cases for Obama’s re-election, arguing that the country was better off than it was four years ago. He thoroughly assessed President Obama’s first term, saying that even though it may not have been the best, it still left the U.S. better than it was four years ago.

Students enjoy Open Mic Night performances BY HEATHER LAPERGOLA Staff Writer
Cabrini Open Mic Night was held outdoors on the lawn behind the mansion at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10. The night’s line up revealed student performers displaying a variety of musical talents and original song and cover performances. Both solo performances and group collaborations took the stage to entertain attending viewers on Cabrini’s campus. The event began with a short introduction from CAP Board member Greg Robinson. He began with a reminder that the day had also been World Suicide Prevention Day and shared his own story in respect for the day’s purpose and as a way to lessen the nerves of the performers following him. The event encompassed the performances of Matt Juliano, Christian Jones, Ben Danner, John Crouse, Scott Preston, Anie Jamgochian, Camie Allen and Bree Savrin. For Anie Jamgochian, who sang with the largest group of the night, this was the first Open Mic Night she’s performed at. She commented on the fact that, for her, it was easier singing with a group of people. “It was definitely easier to perform with

Scott Preston, Anie Jamgochian, Ben Danner and John Crouse all performing at Open Mic Night behind the Mansion on Sept. 10. a group of people. It was just easier singing knowing that they have your back, and that you’re doing it together, which definitely eases the nerves,” Jamgochian said. Collectively, Jamgochian, Danner, Crouse and Preston covered two songs: “Happy Together” by The Turtles, and “The Only Exception” by Paramore. Jamgochian admitted choosing the song was possibly harder than practicing. “We didn’t actually practice as much as we could, and we practiced more on our own. We wound up just talking and in conversation “Happy Together” came up
as something we all liked. Then someone suggested Paramore, and John knew how to play ‘The Only Exception’ so that made it easier,” Jamgochian said. The attendance numbered around 50, and most came prepared with blankets or seats to watch all of the performers. Attendee Jillian Megna was at the event from beginning to end and enjoyed the atmosphere. “I loved that Open Mic Night was outside. You can hear the songs from the different buildings on campus, which I think drew more people in,” Megna said. “It was
also great to see new people getting up there and performing that haven’t done it before.” Future Open Mic Nights will be announced on the calendars released from SEaL and on flyers hanging around campus. The sign up sheets to participate are also in the SEaL office. All are encouraged to come out. Jamgochian left one bit of advice for any students thinking of signing up for the first time or returning. “Definitely practice and try not to do it last minute because then you’ll feel more confident in remembering the songs. Be prepared and don’t worry because a lot of people are afraid to perform in front of others but everyone at Open Mic is there for you and to cheer you on. Have a good time and enjoy yourself. Also if you look back on it and think you could’ve done better, don’t stop! Keep doing it because you can only get better, especially if it’s something you love,” Jamgochian said. HML37@CABRINI.EDU
Herczyk’s art exhibit opens at library BY ROCCO DELMONTE Staff Writer
“Epic battle” is the only way to describe the work of a Philadelphian artist that’s on display in the Holy Spirit Library. EJ Herczyk, associate professor at Philadelphia University, is a digital print specialist and consultant as well as a visual artist. “EJ’s submission was one of many but his work really stood out among the rest, and his concept (part of his artist statement) was very strong and it showed in his work,” Nicholas Jacques, assistant professor of fine arts, said. This past week on Thursday, Sept. 13, from 5 to 7 p.m., an opening reception was held to unveil Herczyk’s four-
piece display of powerful collaborative artwork. Herczyk has lived in Philadelphia since 1999 and has been teaching and developing artistic pieces ever since. Jacques partnered with the art committee to offer Herczyk an opportunity to exhibit his work at Cabrini. The idea of this exhibit was to bring Philadelphia-inspired artists to the Philadelphia suburbs. Krysten Bittner, senior graphic design major, attended the exhibit’s opening and was amazed by the detail that Herczyk put into his pieces. She said that Herczyk’s artwork shows “struggling, gorgeous detail, powerful colors, and an exciting presentation” and that, overall, the pieces are “magnificent works of art.” The work Herczyk does includes different pieces of fabric, of all sizes and colors, graphics from video games and
finally different color paints. The combination of all these unique supplies makes for an extraordinary piece. “I would classify his work as a form of abstraction with references to representational form,” Jacques said. “As an artist, I would classify him as a painter; he just happens to use some non-traditional materials.” When asked what’s next, Herczyk said that he’s now working on video animation. He has been drawing and designing ideas that can be made into a reality thanks to computing science and graphic design. “Art is good for you and should be shared with all,” Herczyk said.

Who the tweet cares?
“She tweeted that?!”
“Did you see what that person tweeted?”
if i were to go off simply what most people were talking about today, i would think that the biggest piece of world news is that miley cyrus cut her hair, Kanye West is dating Kim Kardashian or Taylor swift is never, ever, ever getting back together with her ex. Not that the mitt romney is the republican presidential candidate or that there has been an uprising in syria for the past 18 months or that the Taliban cut the throats of 17 afghan civilians or that two american soldiers were shot and killed by the afghan army just the day before. The fact that i even know those three things without having to think twice says too much; because there is just one thing i do not understand: Why do people care? Why do people act as if Kristen stewart cheating on robert pattinson affects their daily lives? it doesn’t. i’m not saying that i hate celebrities or that i don’t occasionally talk about my favorite movie stars, because i do. all i am saying is that i don’t have daily conversations about what so-and-so tweeted the other day. maybe this is because i do not have a twitter. i have never really understood the concept. i have always wondered what makes people think something and then log on and write it for the world to see. chances are, most people are not going to give it a second thought. but the amount of times that my friends have had conversations revolving around twitter, to me, is laughable. With the way technology is today, people are connected all the time. Train stations, restaurants, cars, school hallways, there are people talking, texting, tweeting, Facebooking and emailing.

recent reports comparing the current generation’s iq scores to that of our grandparents state that the average score now is about 30 points higher than the early 1900s, but is this evidence enough to disprove claims of stupidity levels rising? some researchers offer that technology has advanced faster than the population can handle, causing many to fall behind in useful knowledge of everyday information. older generations especially have a significantly harder time learning about technological advances because it is not how they were raised or what they are used to. but others point the finger directly at technology, accusing it as being the crutch that hinders people from acquiring and using common sense and practical facts. being able to rely on Google to answer everything from life’s toughest questions, to how many ounces make up a pound diminishes the need to put effort into retaining any sort of information. much of the debate can be boiled down to individuals; their education choices, what they do with their free time and how they decide to obtain news. For instance, this summer i could have actively kept up on World News Tonight, read the paper every day and spent time on cNN.com.

gratification, where everything is expected to happen right away. The generations growing up since the technological boom will not know anything other than this. They will not know how it feels to look up books in a library or use a payphone, or to not have a cell phone. The next time you are out at a restaurant or waiting for a movie to start, take a look around and see just how many people are playing with their smartphones. The results may be shocking. even the way things are marketed has changed dramatically in the past five years. cell phone commercials used to be about call clarity, remember the Verizon “can you hear me now?” guy? Now, they are about speed and connectivity and how many aps you can download. on television shows, there is usually a hashtag in the bottom corner; in case you want to let your friends know that you’re tuning in. even daily household products have pages on Facebook that you can ‘like.’ Newspapers are now more popular online and with almost every news story, there is a section at the bottom for the reader to post a comment. This way, your voice really is heard. i do not necessarily think that this technology boom is a bad thing, because i know that technological advances have solved problems too, along with making life easier for college students like myself. i am simply saying that a 12 year old with an iphone doesn’t really make sense. it is not a crime to sit and wait for your table at a restaurant and actually talk to the people that you came with. mrm356@cabriNi.edu

accompanies idiotic acts that go viral? popular shows such as ridiculousness on mTV have to cover their backs with warnings to possible imitators. The reason is simple; stupidity is funny, and funny things easily become popular and can lead to fame. Getting a Web redemption on Tosh.0 is the ultimate goal for these people, simply because getting recognized for driving an aTV off a roof and landing on a trampoline requires a whole lot less effort than graduating from harvard. i for one believe that the assumption that the world is decreasing in certain intelligences is an accurate generalization. but nothing more than that, a seemingly broad overview of how the average person is doing. To say that everyone in the world is getting dumber would be absolutely incorrect. Take a look at the rover landed on mars and tell me the population is stupid. Then again, ask a stranger on the street their times tables and you may notice that basic intelligence must be what slipped away from us somewhere along the way.

Have a computer? Get a degree. by ANTHONY SEStITO Staff Writer
mct
In the recent weeks, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) announced that they will will be joining a new nonprofit partnership to offer free online courses. Those who complete these online courses will receive normal classroom grades as well as a certificate of mastery, but will not receive any official credit. The free online courses are part of many plans to lower the costs of colleges all across the world. The plan is to leap over all of the major obstacles that a student may have trying to enroll in college. With free online courses, you can forget about signing up for financial aid and haggling with the accreditation agencies. With one click of the mouse, you are enrolled in a free higher education program that is tailored to your specific needs and guarantees you a degree in the course you are in.People who take free online classes should be receiving credit where credit is due. If they are taking the online courses, the same courses that a full time college student is taking for credits, they should be treated the same and get credit. Online courses are a great way to get an education on your own time. Now that Harvard and M.I.T. are offering
free courses online, this should be offered at more colleges and institutions everywhere in the world. Let’s face it, we are all not made of money but we all want to be well educated. These free online courses are not only easy for students but also reach the needs of stay at home parents who want to get an education, and support their families. You can go to class and take care of your children in the same house. It could not get any easier. Not only will free online classes benefit parents but it also opens new doors for many cultures to be able to get a free higher education. Bringing cultures together through an online class could help us as a nation have a better understanding of one lives and cultures. Talking to some of the students half way around the world about their opinions on class topics, creates friendships, the same friendships you would make in a regular college environment. Sean Decatur, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Oberlin College states, “The platform is not intended as a replacement for contact time between on-campus student and faculty, but rather as a tool for enhancing these interactions.”
Students who take these courses should receive credit for the classes that they are enrolled in so that they can transfer the credits over and graduate college with their intended degree. Free online classes can help make the world more educated, and can lower racial barriers. We are all categorized into three wealth groups, the upper class, middle class and the lower class. It is time to stop being judged by how much money you make. If you want an education why shouldn’t you be able to get it? The free higher education classes will put a stop to this and make it fair for anyone in the world to become educated. Colleges and Institutions such as Harvard and M.I.T. should reward their online students with class credits. They are still doing the same work as full time students, why should they be cheated out of credits that they put time and effort into. Where should we draw the line on who get credit and who does not?

how to: decorate your new apartment
By amanda cundari Staff Writer
All photos submitted by Amanda cundari
Ready to move out of the dorms and live an apartment or house? Well, don’t be intimidated to start the process! One of my major projects this summer was finding an apartment, my next step, decorating. Let’s start with the first step. Skip looking at the dozens of websites such as: ForRent.com, ApartmentGudie.com, ApartmentFinder.com and go straight to Craigslist. Most landlords or retailers use Craigslist because of how easy the website runs. Craigslist narrows down locations and prices for potential renters. Apartment websites are vague and only list apartment complexes that surprisingly and mostly do not accept students. Craigslist optimizes your search allowing you to find not only apartment buildings for rent but houses as well. Make sure you check the website frequently because there are always new places for rent posted every day. From Aberdeen to Conshohocken to extremely nearby places in Wayne and Radnor, Craigslist, will not let you down. Now the fun part, decorating. First, you’re going to want to check with your landlord and find out if you’re allowed to paint. Once you get the ok, start looking through paint charts. Keep in mind that color has the power to transform any interior. A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and even inexpensive ways to acquire a mood for a space, whether it is the living area, kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom. Now, we all know color palettes can be daunting and even confusing, but that is where color theories come in. Don’t be afraid to leave your comfort zone by sticking with colors that are matchy matchy. Complementary colors such as red and green, blue and orange and yellow and purple are actually very friendly and
fun even though they sit opposite each other on the color wheel. For example, try the most classic combination of complementary colors: black and white. The interior will feel sleek and sophisticated. If you are still overwhelmed with the idea you can try a second theory and use analogous colors. The similar hues still create an extraordinary contrast when used side by side in a space. Lastly, if you are trying to stay less busy stick to a three color palette and consider that this time three isn’t a crowd. Remember, every color carries a mood with it. Therefore, if you want your living area to feel warm and cozy pick out a deep green color or chocolate brown. Then play with your color theories and throw in some opposites for balance like teal pillows. Bring some life and energy into your day by sticking with greens and yellows for your bedroom. You won’t be able to help but feel energized when you wake up to such a happy color. Red is a great color for dining rooms and kitchens. The color actually stimulates appetites and conversation and it won’t fail to give you and guests a warm feel. For those with a flair for the dramatic stick with darker colors like blacks, deep reds and navy blues. Try it in the bathroom; it will make the small area feel much more important. Don’t be scared to play with color. Now that you have all the tips you can get started and experiment with other accessories. Whether you’re being fierce and dramatic or light and airy, bring on the drama. The last step is to throw in a little you into your space. Even though you may not live in your new place forever, throw in pictures and let yourself feel homey. Your personality will shine throughout the entire space. akc49@cabrini.edu

Spanish Imani Fussell Staff Writer
Why should a Cabrini student be interested in majoring in or taking up a minor in Spanish? “All students in the major recognize that Spanish is a skill that is very much needed today,” Dr. Raquel Green, assistant professor of romance languages and literatures, said. People of Spanish origin are the largest ethnic minority in the United States today, according to Green. “The population has increased over the past several years,” Green said. Green loves diversity in her classroom and the different perspectives her students bring to the table. What makes the Spanish major appealing at Cabrini is that, unlike the other languages, it can be finished in four years. Students are able to use their abilities and skills beyond the classroom as well: both in the community and in the workplace. The Spanish department also offers Our Interconnected Hemisphere. These courses allow students to get involved in the surrounding communities like Norristown, Pa., and study the issues within the area
mct
Psychology such as immigration and the social differences of diverse communities. Community engagement gives Spanish majors the opportunity to practice within the community. Students become familiar with the challenges of Latino education in the U.S., and they’re provided with a face, a name and identity. What could a Spanish major use their degree for? “Any job dealing with the public,” Green said. And Green’s advice for her spanish major students? “If you want to remain competitive, knowing Spanish will give you an advantage.”

Dr. Anthony Tomasco is the head of Psychology, who loves his job very much. He is most excited about showing students the research methods and how they play a big role in being a psychology major. Many students enjoy learning about personality and abnormal. One of the classes that he teaches is the major’s senior capstone. This class is to help the student’s own growth development. Every psychology student is recommended to take this class their senior year. This will be Dr. Anthony Tomasco’s 45th year teaching at Cabrini College, which he is very proud of and he will continue with his love of teaching. Nicole Wisser is a senior who studies psychology. She knew she wanted to become a psychology major in high school when she took her first psychology class. After taking this class her junior year, Wisser knew right away that she wanted to work with people. The best part of being a psychology major is learning many different interesting terms. During both her internships her
knowledge of these terms helped her stay competitive. Wisser was an intern at Lutheran Children Family Services and also an intern at Horizon House. She enjoyed interning at Horizon House the most because it had a lot to do with mental health and it was also very hands-on. “Advice to freshman psychology majors: review your class notes every week so you don’t have to cram a few nights before the test to study,” Wisser said.

Hidden International Business
Sports Management
“This minor may appeal to the student who wants to work for a U.S. company that does business abroad or maybe even the student that eventually wants to live abroad while working for a U.S.-based company.” This is how Dr. Erin McLaughlin, assistant professor of business administration, describes the international business minor. With globalization playing a huge role in any business long-term strategy, career opportunities in international business are becoming increasingly popular. Some of the career paths an international business minor can explore are sales, finance, strategic planning, operations and marketing. The international business minor requires 21 credits total, consisting of both business and accounting courses.
A minor in sports management is perfect for a business major who is passionate about sports. This minor requires the additional three courses, which are sports management, sports marketing and sports facilities management to the core business minor courses. To receive a sports management minor, students must complete a total of 21 credits. The sports management minor helps students gain the knowledge for working in sports stadiums, with a sports team, or manage facilities such as a fitness center or gym. If you are interested in pursuing a minor in sports management, contact Dr. Eric Malm.

History Amanda Cundari Staff Writer
When the best part of a major is a tossup between the courses and the teachers, then it must be history. The courses are made of two different tracks: U.S History and World History. The ones that get freshmen hooked are the survey classes. “Dr. Smith is known to make the survey classes fun,” Allison Clark, senior history major, said. “And the 300- and 400-level classes are literally the coolest classes I take all year.” Classes range from “Sports in American Society” and “American Popular Culture,” where students study reality television, to “Spike Lee’s America” where students watch and talk about Spike Lee movies in terms of history. “The classes are not about memorization as they were in high school,” Dr. Darryl Mace, associate professor of history and political science, said. “The courses are full of different historical perspectives and allow students to make sense of why and when things happen in history.” Students learn how to apply the knowledge they learn and piece things together
mct
Biology within an historical context. The professions for a history major are limitless, ranging from teachers, lawyers and business positions, to company CEOs and even government work. “I love making history come alive,” Mace said. So whether you’re interested in politics, war, or just history in general, the history faculty is committed to engaging with students and preparing them for future careers. “We have a lot of fun,” said Mace. “For the history major, the sky is the limit.”

Walk into the glass-fronted building on the edge of campus and you’ll see it buzzing with students in lab coats and goggles… well, maybe not all the time. But Iadarola does house the biology department, a major for anyone willing to dedicate time and effort for the love of science. Dr. Kimberly Boyd, head of the department, confirms that being a biology major requires being passionate, committed and extra hardworking. “It’s a very hands-on major,” Boyd said. “It requires much more time than other majors because you are in the lab at least three hours a week.” Rick Tumminello, senior biology major, says he doesn’t mind the work. “I fell in love with science here in Bio 101,” Tumminello said, even though he had no interest in high school. Now participating in his year-long senior capstone project with Dr. Espie, he feels more than prepared to continue his education in medical school. Tumminello’s previous research was presented at Cabrini’s symposium last
spring. “The independent research has been one of my favorite things,” Tumminello said. It gives students a chance to focus on one topic and work in intensive detail on it. Each student has a faculty adviser but mainly works on their own. “They get to apply what they learn in lecture and see a project go from start to finish,” Boyd said, which she says is the ultimate preparation for the professional world. Many biology majors continue on to medical school or the pharmacy field. So do all the long hours and intense research pay off? “Oh yeah!,” Boyd said. “If it’s the right thing for you, then it doesn’t matter. It’s what we love doing.”
Minors Social Justice
Studio Art
If you are a student who is interested in promoting the common good and following in the legacy of St. Frances Cabrini, then this minor is for you. As a social justice minor, students take courses that allow them to develop the skills for exploring and understanding social justice issues. This minor has been designed to go hand-in-hand with the curriculum of Engagements with the Common Good in the General Education program. To achieve a minor in social justice, students will complete a total of 18 credits. For further questions about a social justice minor, contact Dr. Nicholas Rademacher.
If you are someone who is creative and has a passion and a drive to pursue a profession in fine art, this minor is for you. A studio art minor allows students to enhance their skills and knowledge, which will prepare them for their desired career path in the fine arts field This minor requires a total of 18 credits and includes three specific classes that are required for graphic design majors. With a studio art minor, there are a few requirements that a student would need to be aware of, such as the art fee and the obtainment of art supplies for each course. For any inquiries about the studio art minor, contact Professor Nicholas Jacques. By Katilyn Kohler | Photo editor | knk34@cabrini.edu

Low funds? College discount! NICHOLE CAPIZZI Staff Writer
As students settle back into the school routine, they should remember they carry a privileged status as consumers. College students across the country are eligible for special student discounts that no one else can get. Everything from retail stores and restaurants, to movie tickets or computers. A variety of discounts, including personal purchases, are available to students who carry their school ID and remember to ask about them while checking out. Sometimes merchants will require a student identification card, or in the case of online purchases, an .edu email address. Of the countless benefits to being a college student, taking advantage of student discounts offered is one of the least used. The trouble is, retailers don’t always make their student discounts known to consumers.
Not only are student discounts not commonly advertised, but the stigma of being a broke college student shies students away from asking for something for a cheaper price. It really is much more widespread than the average student realizes. As little known as student ID discounts are, this little piece of plastic is a college student’s best ally for saving money until graduation. If you have a student ID, you should always ask for a discount. There’s no harm in asking. You never know how much you could save with the flash of your student ID. Probably the three biggest categories for student savings seem to be computers, apparel and food. It’s almost a no-brainer to take advantage of some of these student discounts. NAC82@CABRINI.EDU
Computers and tech gear
Clothing
Food
Apple Inc. offers discounts to college students. Every year, during back-to-school buying Apple offers a bonus for buying a Mac computer. This year, it’s a $100 card to use for buying additional Apple products. In previous years, it has included a free printer, iPod, etc. Microsoft Corp. offers an interesting deal for students this year. It may not help students focus, but Microsoft is throwing in a free Xbox 360 gaming console to any student who buys a Windows 7 PC for $699.
Student discounts at clothing retailers are also common, but waiting for a sale, in combination with a student discount, might reap bigger savings. Examples of stores that have student discounts are Ann Taylor, Madewell, Juicy Couture, Banana Republic, J. Crew and The Limited. Discounts of 15 or 20 percent are common.
People may be surprised that several chain restaurants offer students discounts. While most nationwide chains leave the decision about whether or not to offer student discounts up to individual franchise owners, participation is most prevalent in college towns. Many merchants find student discounts beneficial to bringing in business. They include 10 percent off at McDonald’s, Chipotle, Burger King, Subway, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut and Domino’s Pizza. It must be noted that this varies by location.

Never too old for CRAYONS! Silly you, crayons aren’t for kids! Don’t grow up yet. Using crayons to make art is no longer just for the prepubescent middle school kid.

BRIDGET MEDORI Staff Writer
People of all ages can enjoy the simple beauty a crayon can create. From melting them to grating them, one thing is for sure: crayons are not just for coloring! Crayon art is accessible and affordable for those looking for an artistic escape, or for students just looking to spice up their dorm room decor. This is because most people already own most of the supplies needed. Instead of coloring with crayons, how about melting them? This summer, the Internet and blogs were invaded by this new student trend that is crayon art. Making melted crayon art requires some crayons, a hot glue gun, a canvas or a foam board and a blow dryer. The first step is to use the hot glue gun to secure the crayons to the top of the canvas. Then, put the blow dryer on high and get to work! Point the blow dryer downward, heating the crayon wax until it melts, giving the illusion of dripping paint. Moving the blow dryer in a faster motion will give the wax a more splatter-like effect. Because the melted crayon wax has a tendency to go everywhere, doing this part
outside is highly recommended. Another DIY way to make crayon art, similar to the previous project, includes melting crayons as well. In this project, crayons, wax paper, an iron, a cheese grater and some type of canvas are needed. First, remove the paper from the crayons. Use the cheese grater to grate each crayon into pieces. Next, make a design on the canvas. Simple or complicated, anything works! Then place the wax paper on the canvas, over the design, and use the iron to press the canvas gently. After waiting a few seconds, remove the wax paper and it is complete! Amanda Didomenico, a junior here at Cabrini, has been infatuated with crayon art since seeing her friends post pictures of their own creations on Pinterest .Over the summer, Amanda decided to make one of her own to hang up in her room. “My room was kind of boring and predictable,” Didomenico said. Crayon art and its plethora of colors are sure to liven up any room or college dorm. “I look at it and all of its colors and it can instantly change my mood. It makes me happy!” BNM35@CABRINI.EDU

Lana Del Rey: here to stay While Lana Del Rey may not be for everyone, she is a quintessential candidate when looking at how new artists are emerging. She is a young, talented, beautiful woman who used the internet and networking to her advantage. BRIANNE DRISSEL Staff Writer
Tired of listening to the same old tunes? Want to hear something different that isn’t played, say, 10 times in one day? All favorite albums aside, hearing songs so often can become tiresome. Music has become such an integral aspect in the lives of many, there is no better time to seek out and listen to new artists. With the arrival of internet radio and file sharing, new artists are springing up just about every other day. Take a quick listen to Lana Del Rey, an indie pop singer and songwriter from nearby New York City. Relatively new to the music industry, this up-and-coming artist jump started her own career, by uploading some of her tracks and music videos to YouTube. A viral hit song “Video Games” was acclaimed by many. Shortly after the song was released, the 26-year-old was signed by a record company. She then had the support to start embellishing her own songs professionally. With help from her record label, Lana Del Rey was able to publish her first digital album “Lana Del Rey A.K.A. Lizzy Grant,” solidifying herself as a voice to be reckoned with. Her self titled album is based on her initial performances in New York City. At the time, only 18 years old, Del Rey began performing in clubs in the city and was referred to by her given name, Elizabeth (Lizzy) Grant. As Lizzy Grant, she produced numerous tracks, but unfortunately none that were considered hit worthy. Later on she chose a different name, one in which she felt would better reflect her style. The performing name Lana Del Rey conveys class, maturity and style, all of which are traits that can be used to describe her music. To bring you up too speed, Del Rey has recently accomplished the release of her second studio album Born to Die where she presents “National Anthem,” a song dedicated to John F. Kennedy’s wellremembered time in the White House - tempting many to create conversation, if not controversy. Nonetheless, Del Rey is currently writing and recording tracks for her “Paradise” edition of “Born to Die” which will feature multiple new tracks and has fans awaiting the release date, which is set to be sometime in November . While Lana Del Rey may not be for everyone, she is a quintessential candidate when looking at how new artists are emerging. She is a young, talented, beautiful woman who used the internet and networking to her advantage. Using her skill set, she was able to convince users via video to support her and fall in love with her music. With her current fan base and upcoming projects, she is sure to leave a lasting impression on the music industry. BMD54@CABRINI.EDU LANA DEL REY’S OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Atzert ‘honored’ to be field hockey captain By Rachel Antuzzi Staff Writer
John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” Lindsey Atzert, a forward and co-captain for the Cavaliers women’s field hockey team, has been just that for her teammates: a leader. “I personally am not the most outspoken player on the field,” Atzert said, “and to a point I always thought that’s what makes a leader. Being chosen as a captain for a second season, it shows me that the girls on the team see something else in me that they can relate to that makes me captain material.” Atzert went to Delran High School, giving freshman defender, Gabby Glenning, Holy Cross High School graduate and Delran rival, the opportunity to compete against and with her new cap-
tain. “She has always been a great player,” Glenning said. “It was exciting playing against her in high school.” “She was a huge help during preseason, especially as a freshman learning to adjust to collegiate level play. I’m looking forward to wearing the same colors as her this year for a change.” Since freshman year, Atzert has had an impact on the Lady Cavs’ success. She started in 16 of the 21 games she played in 2010 and was named a CSAC AllAcademic Honoree. In 65 games so far at Cabrini, Atzert has scored 21 goals and racked up 57 points in her collegiate career. “Being a captain means the world to me,” Atzert said. “I am so very grateful and honored to know that my girls look up to me as someone who can lead the team in the right direction.” Lindsey is all smiles when she thinks back on her past seasons
as a Cavalier. “My favorite moments as a Cavaliers’ player has got to be winning the CSAC two years in a row and going to the NCAA tournament,” Atzert said. “It’s so thrilling to know what the team can accomplish when we all work together.” When she isn’t on the turf or hitting the books as a devoted education major, Atzert still keeps herself busy. Her favorite sport, aside from field hockey? Softball, naturally. As soon as field hockey season ends, Atzert is preparing for her role in the spring sport. Be sure to look out for Lindsey and rest of the field hockey team as they take on Marywood University during Family Weekend on Saturday, Sept. 22 at 1:30 p.m.

Volleyball wins in home opener over Widener By Brett Lockbaum Staff Writer
The women’s volleyball team had a similar opponent for their home opener on Thursday, Sept. 13. It was the second time this season the Lady Cavs faced Widener. The Lady Cavs came away with the 3-1 victory in their home opener at the Nerney Field House. “The keys to the game were to basically play our game and not get caught up in what Widener was doing,” sixth-year head coach Eric Schaefer said. “We knew our defense in the back was so good that if we got our blocking together, we could stop them.” Wearing their new black uniforms, the Lady Cavs battled Widener in a hardfought first set. After alternating points for most of the set, Cabrini pulled away at the end to win, 25-21. For the match, the Lady Cavs were led by junior Michele Fitz, freshman Jen Grenauer and senior Meg Ryan. Fitz posted 11 kills and eight digs in the win. Grenauer led the team with 12 kills. Ryan also added 11 kills. “It’s really important to win the first set,” junior Alaina Clark said. “It helps keep the momentum on our side for the rest of the game.” The second set wasn’t any different from the first. Again both teams were going back and forth not allowing the other to pull away. But the Lady Cavs again pulled it out at the end in a 25-23 victory to go ahead 2-0. After falling in the third set, 25-17, the Lady Cavs got out to a quick lead again in the fourth set, going up 4-0 and didn’t let up. The Lady Cavs finished off the match with a 25-18 win in the set. “We came out with more motivation in the fourth set because we lost the third set,” sophomore Molly Fox said. “We came out stronger because we knew that they were a tough team, so I think we learned a lot and came out with more intensity this game.” The Lady Cavs won their fourth straight match and improved their record to 6-4 after the win. They look to continue their recent surge when they face Bryn Mawr College on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. bal56@cabrini.edu

Late goal leads Lady Cavs to first win of season By Brooke Famous Staff Writer
A last-minute penalty-shot goal by Katie Savage led the women’s field hockey team to their first win of the season against the Delaware Valley College Aggies, 3-2, on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at Edith Robb Dixon Field. The Lady Cavaliers started the season off 0-4 with losses against Swarthmore College, Drew University, Rowan University and Gettysburg College. Momentum throughout the first seven minutes was very good, as Cabrini’s offense was mainly in the Aggies zone. Soon later, momentum slowly started to change in favor of Delaware Valley. “There’s a ton of potential [to turn the season around],” 17th-year head coach Jackie Neary said. “I think in games where we lose by one or two goals so far and we’re playing not at our best. “I’m dying to see the game where we’re at our best, because I think there are remarkable things waiting to happen. I have high hopes.” The Lady Cavs created good opportunities in front of the Aggies’ net up until Delaware Valley broke the scoreless game 10 minutes in, making it 1-0 tickling through the sticks off of a corner. The Cavaliers soon became sloppy with their passes and committed fouls. With just
under seven minutes left in the half, the Cavaliers got up on the scoreboard with an own goal by Delaware Valley College. At the end of the first half, the score was 1-1. “Historically with my hockey teams we start out like this,” Neary said. “I get worried because we might not rebound from it, but today we did. Today was huge for them, and gave them confidence.” The second half started out with many turnovers by the Lady Cavs. With 12:17 left in the half, Delaware Valley took the lead, 2-1. With momentum going back and forth from both teams, junior Stephanie Toomey put Cabrini back up on the scoreboard by making it 2-2 with 5:17 left in the game from an assist by Lindsey Atzert. Key saves made by Genevieve Paulin kept the score knotted into the final minute. “As a team we all needed to work together. In the first seven minutes, we came out as a team, we went up and down the field together, then we died down a little bit in
the first half,” junior Katie Savage said. “After recovering during halftime we came back in the second half really hard together and that made a difference and to get the win today” As the game was nearing an end, Katie Savage received a penalty shot with 27.6 seconds left. Savage kept her focus and as soon as the whistle blew scored the gamewinning goal for the Cavaliers. “It feels good [to get the game winning goal],” Savage said. “It took everyone on the field to get it up the field. We had a lot of interceptions, but all of us played our hearts out.” This marked the Lady Cavs’ first win of the season. The next game is away on Tuesday, Sept. 18, against Notre Dame of Maryland University at 4 p.m. “[This game] will help them out positively for next game,” Neary said. “They needed that win.” baf43@cabrini.edu

Cabrini fired 10 shots, two each from freshman Boomer Steigelman and junior Ryan Cerrato. Only five of Cabrini’s ten shots were on goal. “It seemed to just be a struggle all game,” said Cabrini Goalie Eric Nowicki. “We really need to work out our consistency because that’s what seemed to be our overall problem all day.” Ending the game with a 7-1 loss, the Cavaliers fell in the Battle of Eagle Road at Eastern University this year.

Lady Cavs fall to Arcadia Arcadia From Page 16
Canfield missed wide, keeping the Cavaliers in high hopes of drawing first blood. Willig stood strong in net for Arcadia as Dana Peterson and Alex Tralie both had chances to score late in the first half. At half time, the score remained 0-0 as the two teams took time to recharge and figure out their new strategy. Right out of the gates for the second half, both teams were hun-
gry for the first goal. Arcadia had a chance to score but Edwards denied the attempt and came up with a great save. But it didn’t stop there. Arcadia hammered Edwards with shots from all angles until the ball found its way through off a rebound for a goal by Rachel Bradd. It was a tense second half, Arcadia piling on shot after shot. Edwards looked strong between the pipes. Late in the second half Arcadia took a corner kick that would be redirected into the net off of a header by Ashley Vaitis. Cabrini women’s soccer fell to 1-3 with the loss. Peterson led the team with two shots on goal. Also adding shots on goal were sophomore Melissa Scanzano and junior Bethany Feinberg. All four shots were denied by goalkeeper Willig, who posted a shutout. Despite allowing two goals, Cabrini goalkeeper Edwards also posted three saves, allowing the Lady Cavs to keep the game close into the game’s final moments. “We came out strong and the team chemistry was good,” senior Morgan Hudson said. “It is always a challenge with injuries and new players. Today’s game just did not go in our favor.” The Cabrini women’s soccer team will face Marywood University on Saturday, Sept. 22, for their next home game. It is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Fightin’ for a miracle Just three weeks ago, the Phillies seemed dead. What a difference a winning streak and a little luck can do to the playoff picture. After a 3-1 win over the New York Mets on Monday, Sept. 17, the Phillies are four games back of the National League wildcard. They have 14 games remaining in the season. It was just three weeks ago that the Phillies had suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Atlanta Braves. That seemed to be the dagger on the Phillies’ season. But since then, things have changed. The bounces started going their way. The pitching improved. The offense got stronger and produced more. From Sept. 6 to Sept. 13, the Phillies went on a seven-game winning streak that allowed them to leapfrog teams and creep up on the coveted second wildcard spot, currently held by the St. Louis Cardinals. Last weekend, a four-game series with the Astros slightly derailed these unlikely playoff hopes. The Phillies lost three of the four games to baseball’s worst team, an unknown roster with a 45-98 record entering the series. With just two weeks left in the baseball season, the Phillies are searching for a miracle. You may not want to admit it, but the Phillies are in a playoff race again. They are still alive. And while you probably told yourself you wouldn’t pay attention or give it any thought, chances are by now you already have. You can count on one hand the teams that have rallied from double-digit deficits as late as the final week of August. No team has ever rallied back from more than 13 games back in the standings that late and made the playoffs. The Phillies were 13 ½ games back on Aug. 8. Are the Phillies this season’s St. Louis Cardinals? Is this 1964 in reverse? Does this core from the golden era of Phillies’ baseball have one more rally left in them? Baseball is more than a game. In the final two weeks of the season, it becomes great theater. If the Fightin’ Phils’ magical run to make the Postseason continues right to the end, baseball will not disappoint again.

The Cavaliers men’s soccer team fell to the Eastern University Eagles by a score 7-1 on Saturday, Sept. 15, across Eagle Road at Eastern University. The Cavaliers have not had a deficit that large since back on Sept. 4, 2005. That was a shutout from Salisbury University, the Blue and White losing 8-0. “We were very focused going into the game,” said junior Don Irons “We knew what this game meant to not only us but to the school as well.” Both the Cavaliers and the Eagles came out with strong with their play but at the 22-minute mark Eastern’s freshmen Ben Hriscu tallied his first of three goals of the day. One minute later Hriscu struck again with a header into the left corner of the goal, set up on a free kick by teammate Jair Saenz. “Those two goals really frustrated us, we knew we could score and needed too but it disappointed us to let up two goals right after each other,” junior
C.J. Doherty said. The Cavaliers couldn’t capitalize after those two goals for the rest of the half, which ended 2-0 in favor of the Eagles. As the second half started Cabrini was looking to even out the playing field and seemed to come back very eager. However the Cavaliers continued to struggle and less then four minutes into the second half, Eastern’s Eric Giovagnoli sent the ball by Cabrini’s goalie Eric Nowicki. Extending the lead to 5-0 in the 63rd minute were goals from Eagles Mitch Osterhouse and Hunter Rosenberg. Proving that the Cavaliers had not given up was the single team goal at the 68th minute by hard fought sophomore Eric Goldbloom. That was also Goldbloom’s first career goal playing for the blue and white. See Eastern, Page 15
Women’s soccer now 1-3 after loss to Arcadia By Anthony Sestito Staff Writer
The women’s soccer team lost to Arcadia University by a score of 2-0. The Cavs took home field at noon on Saturday, Sept. 15. A crowd of 127 filled the stands to watch Maddy Edwards protect her home turf as she tended the Cabrini net. With roaring crowds, the game picked up fast as Dana Peterson had a shot on Arcadia’s Veronica Willig, at 8:45 into game play. The shot was saved by Willig as Arcadia scrambled to get open and rush down the field. For the next four minutes it seemed to look like Arcadia could not keep their team chemistry together as they struggled with two fouls and two offsides. Both fouls were by Arcadia’s Fatima Elmedkhar. The Cavaliers could not capitalize on Arcadia’s mishaps.
Things started to look good for Cabrini as Melissa Scanzano ripped a shot on Willig but was denied. Scanzano would receive a foul but had another shot at the net during the 22nd minute of the game. The shot sailed wide right as the crowd gasped in anticipation of a goal. Arcadia answered back a few minutes after Kim See Arcadia, Page 15
