STEP UP, TAKE ACTION Too many times people say that they don’t believe their vote has an effect, they don’t like politics or they don’t know enough about the issues to side with a party; the fact has to be understood that without voting, policies won’t change and the important issues will be left in the hands of the percentage of the population that does vote.

There is only so much injustice that a society can endure before it collapses. Dr. Joseph Romano and three other professors spoke at the faculty panel discussion about the 2012 election and social justice. Dr. Shirley Dixon of the education department, Dr. Sharon Schwarze of the philosophy department and Dr. David Dunbar of the biology department all were allotted time to talk about the importance of social justice in the election. One of the main points covered was the importance of advocating. Each professor that spoke approached the topic in their own way, but they all spoke of participation. “Social justice requires a social contract. We the people engage in a social contract whereby we agree to curve our self-interest and claim only those rights from society which we are willing to grant to others. Through this social contract a common good for all is sought,” Romano said. Dr. Romano read a letter to the audience that he wrote to his local congressional representative. The main focus of the letter was how America and its government have changed during his lifetime. He said that the way to fix this is to get involved with our government and voice our opinions to the people in charge. “What will it take to restore the social contract and once again bring a sense of equality and dignity to the name citizen? For starters, our representatives in government must restore balance and moderation in our legislative policies,” Romano said. “We cannot be kidnapped by extreme ideological positions that led to this serious inequality of wealth and opportunity. We must release government of the strangle hold

of ideologues more interested in personal victories and misguided notions of patriotism that declare when it’s good for them, it’s good for the country.” Dr. Shirley Dixon also spoke of the historical events that have led to the widespread idea of social justice, namely how Brown v. Board of Education “opened the door to widespread change” along with Plessy v. Ferguson. She closed by saying that something has to be done to “make sure our politicians fall in line to understand that the next generation must be educated in order to keep this country up and running and continue it.” As a philosophy professor herself, Dr. Sharon Schwarze related the topics to philosopher Thomas Hobbes in her speech, naming him “the philosopher of elections.” Swarze began, “He says we are motivated by two things. We’re motivated by fear of death and we’re motivated for desire for commodious living. If you look at the election, that’s exactly what elections are about.” She went on to explain how people view social justice and how she personally believes that “elections are not about social justice”. “One concept of business is that ‘It’s mine, I earned it.’ All I need is government to help me maintain what I’ve earned. This notion of justice is a little narrow. It doesn’t see our interdependence. It doesn’t go beyond of families and see us connected to other people. What about the powerless in our society: the young, the old, the sick, the poor?” Swarze said. “Justice simply can’t be contractual and rational, it also has to come from the heart as well.” Concluding the talks, Dr. David Dunbar took a different approach in assessing social justice. He sought to demonstrate the importance of social justice through the examples of natural resources, particularly water. As something we use daily and need to survive,

the importance of water is interminable. However most residents don’t even know the answers when asked the questions: Where does our water come from? Who owns our water? Is our water safe? These queries directed listeners to question themselves on how involved they were in the important issues that face them. And also to demonstrate how little we think about our water sources in comparison to developing countries that struggle to find clean water to drink on a daily basis. “We take our water for granted because there were a lot of pioneers and heroes that went before us to ensure that our drinking water would be safe. But I also want to stress that it’s not always going to be like that unless we’re proactive about what goes in our water and also to maintain those protections that others have put in place for us. And to also look at the bigger picture, to look at some of the issues in developing countries.” Despite the differences in topics, one underlying theme prevailed throughout. Participation is the key to addressing any issue of social justice. However before the forms of advocacy any of the speakers mentioned takes place, the single-most important step has to be taken: voting. While writing letters and signing petitions is effective, voting is one of the easiest and most fundamental ways to let your voice be heard and participate in your government. Too many times people say that they don’t believe their vote has an effect, they don’t like politics or they don’t know enough about the issues to side with a party; the fact has to be understood that without voting, policies won’t change and the important issues will be left in the hands of the percentage of the population that does vote.

Letters to the Editor

Take Action: VOTE Last week’s faculty panel opened up a great discussion about the upcoming election, emphasizing the need for citizens to participate in their government – and that’s exactly what we, as college students, aren’t doing. Whether it’s writing a letter to your congressperson or signing a petition, Cabrini faculty sees the merit in participating in the constantly changing landscape of politics. It makes sense that this would be important. So why don’t many young adults our age care? The Loquitur staff has been conducting interviews with college students on campuses around the area, as far away as Temple and La Salle. While the general consensus from our surveying is that students are voting one way or the other for a candidate from one of the two major parties, there’s an unsettling amount of students who aren’t voting at all – and all with different reasons. Others think it’s just not going to matter. Period. Why wait in line at the polls when they’re

President as she studies for her citizenship test. But she’s unable to vote. She’s not a citizen. She doesn’t have the same privileges as most of us do. We’re all political people. Even if we’re not well-versed on public policy or ethics, let alone international law and economics, there’s a political dimension to us. We live in a society with rules, laws, taxes. Some of us try to live only as social and personal people – devoting all of our time to just our families, to just what affects us at the moment, to our own fears, loves and hates. But we’re more than that. The world is becoming interconnected every day, and when one person doesn’t speak up, it means someone else speaks for them – decisions are made for them.

News Active Minds combats mental health stigma

THURSDAY O CTOBER 25, 2012

THE LO QUITUR.COM | 3

BY NICHOLE CAPIZZI Staff Writer

Oct. 7–13 marked Mental Health Awareness Week, a time when we are encouraged to confront a topic that many of us try to avoid everyday. The truth is, we may not all have a mental illness, but we all have mental health. While we often have negative images in our mind about what the issues are and mean, mental health disorders are a part of many of our lives and can become a relatively normal part of everyday life. Mental illness affects 1 in 4 college students. In fact, two-thirds of those college students in need do not seek help, including those who are thinking about suicide. They worry about what will happen if they get help, some believe it will not work, and others don’t think their situation is bad enough to warrant it. For 10 years, college students in Active Minds chapters across the country have been rejecting that negative societal stance by speaking openly and honestly to their peers about the realities of mental health. Yes, they carry with them facts, statistics, and resources, but they are also equipped with something even more powerful: their voices. Active Minds immediately resonated with Robin Suchy, president of Cabrini’s chapter of Active Minds. “Having spent much of high school trying to deal with my own struggles with mental health, I knew that I wanted to try and use my experiences to help people and Active Minds gave me a great opportunity to do so,” Suchy said. Cabrini’s chapter of Active Minds usually has an event at least once a month that focus on different aspects of either eliminating stigma, educating people about mental health, and making people aware of the great services offered by our Counseling Center. So what has Cabrini

“Ultimately, remembering that mental illnesses are biological conditions caused by imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain helps people to understand that these are not things people chose to have.” ROBYN SUCHY

done to promote Mental Health Awareness Week? “We had our annual “Stomp Out Stigma” event where we had over 200 feet of bubble wrap around campus that had the word stigma written on it and asked people to help us stomp it out. This event really gets people thinking about what stigmas they may face and how they can help people feel less stigmatized, particularly surrounding mental illness,” Suchy said. All volunteers for the event wore “Stigma Fighter” shirts similar to the shirts worn on the Glee episode that featured the song, “Born This Way.”

Suchy’s dedication to spreading the effort to help people understand mental health goes beyond Cabrini’s campus. Last spring, Suchy was awarded a position on the Active Minds National Student Advisory Committee, where a group of fifteen students from around the country represent the student voice of Active Minds at the National level. “I’m on conference calls once a month talking to the national office about new initiatives and I’m helping facilitate sessions at the National Conference next month,” Suchy said. Suchy is looking forward to applying to intern for Active Minds over this upcoming summer in Washington D.C. But for now, she’s working on letting some of the younger executive board members take on a more active role so that the club can keep strong after graduation. So what can be done to eliminate the stigma that surrounds mental health? Language is a big part of breaking perceptions. “Ultimately, remembering that mental illnesses are biological conditions,” Suchy said, “caused by imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain helps people to understand that these are not things people chose to have.” Keeping an open mind about counseling and surrounding oneself with encouraging friends can go a long way in changing the attitude around mental health.

Prayer 101 gives students chance to pray, reflect, relax BY KAITLYN KOHLER Photo Editor

Twice a month, one of the four peer ministers leads Cabrini College students in prayer. On Tuesday Oct. 16 at 7:30, four students and Father Carl Janicki, the director of campus ministry, gathered in the Holy Spirit Library conference room for Prayer 101 to pray, reflect and relax. This week’s prayer service was led by Anie Jamgochian, a junior majoring in English, American studies and religious studies. Each prayer service is lead by a different peer minister. The service started out with an opening prayer. Following the prayer, Jamgochian introduced the topic of this week’s prayer service, which was our daily schedules and how to balance them. Throughout the service, students participated in various activities based on schedules. First, they filled out a chart of their weekly schedules, so they were able to see how busy they really were.

Student peer leaders are pictured with Fr. Carl Janicki at Prayer 101 on Oct. 16. The service provided an interesting perspective on how to make time for your faith. Following the first activity, students then filled out a pie chart and divided up spaces in order of how they would like to spend their time. The students were instructed to figure out how to incorporate faith into their schedules.

I thought to myself, “what does a busy schedule have to do with faith?,” but I soon discovered what the link between the two was. The main point of this prayer service was focused around how to find time in our schedules for our faith, to pray, to

reflect and to take time for ourselves. The group discussed their favorite places on campus to relax and clear their thoughts. Jamgochian lead the discussion and revealed to the group that her favorite place to relax on campus was the chapel. Another student told his peers that his favorite place on-campus to unwind was the commons. “The commons, I feel, is kind of a spiritual center on campus. You get to experience a sense of spaciousness from being out there, especially around the peace pole. You’re able to free yourself and kind of create a sense of spaciousness from being out in nature, you have a tendency to feel more free and feel the tension in your body start to free itself. By spending time in nature, feeling the gratitude from being out there and having the experience of being there it’s, for me, a very worthwhile experience,” John McDevitt, a senior liberal studies major, said about how the commons is a place for him to relax and de-stress. The prayer service lasted about 45 minutes and ended with a closing prayer. Two other Prayer 101 sessions will occur this semester, with one scheduled for Nov. 5 and another scheduled for Nov. 20.

THURSDAYBRIEFING Sparring over foreign policy, Obama goes on the offense At the debate Monday night President Obama was on the offensive attacking Romney and calling his plans “wrong and reckless.” Romney countered in explaining that the United States is not a presence around the world. Romney’s main point being the apology tour and how the United States is appearing weaker and the “apology tour” by Obama did not work. The candidates then go on to argue about the attacks in Lybia and how to handle the different relations with countries that pose a nuclear threat. The debate steered away from the foreign policies that it was supposed to be on, to discussions about domestic policies. Read the original story at NYTimes.com | October 22, 2012

The Gloves come off

The second presidential debate was expected to pack big punches.

BY MADISON MILANO Staff Writer

The second presidential debate was expected to pack big punches. And it did not disappoint. As after the first debate Mitt Romney was hailed as the winner, President Obama needed to work harder to get the ball in his court. What the American public saw for this second debate was a confident, funny, charismatic Obama, the one that was lacking for the first round. He was more open to challenging his opponent, but Romney was ready to fire right back. A good amount of the debate focused on the economy, a success for Romney in the first round and a weakness for Obama, but Obama was more forceful to defend his four years, and ask for four more. Mitt Romney came in just as strong, but failed to present certain specifics. While both candidates sold their plans, they also didn’t hold back from attacking the other. Romney harassed how the middle class has been treated: “It’s not going to be like the last four years. The middle-class has been crushed over the last four years, and jobs have been too scarce.” And Obama came back to question his opponent’s tax deduction plan: “And Governor Romney’s says he’s got a five-point plan? Governor Romney doesn’t have a five-point plan. He has a one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules.” Romney also brought up the attacks in Libya and how the President didn’t label it what it was. This seemed to provoke the President as he responded: “The suggestion that anybody on my team, whether it’s a secretary of state, our U.N. ambassador, anybody on my team, would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, Governor, is offensive...”

Closing statements:

“I care about 100 percent of the American people. I want 100 percent of the American people to have bright and prosperous future. I care about our kids. I understand what it takes to make a bright future for America again. I spent my life in the private sector, not in government. I’m a guy who wants to help with the experience I have, the American people.If I become president, I’ll get America working again. I will get us on track to a balanced budget. The president hasn’t. I will. I’ll make sure we can reform Medicare and Social Security to preserve them for coming generations. The president said he would. He didn’t.”

OBAMA

“I believe Governor Romney is a good man. Loves his family, cares about his faith. But I also believe that when he said behind closed doors that 47 percent of the country considered themselves victims who refuse personal responsibility, think about who he was talking about. Folks on Social Security who’ve worked all their lives. Veterans who’ve sacrificed for this country. Students who are out trying to hopefully advance their own dreams, but also this country’s dreams. Soldiers who are overseas fighting for us right now. People who are working hard every day, paying payroll tax, gas taxes, but don’t make enough income. And I want to fight for them. That’s what I’ve been doing for the last four years. Because if they succeed, I believe this country succeeds.”

HEAD-TO-HEAD: Mitt vs. Barack

President Obama and Mitt Romney went head to head in one of the most intense and heated Presidential debates in history. From the start of the debate, one could feel the tension in the air that was missing from the BY RYAN MCLAUGHLIN last presidential debate where Obama appeared more Staff Writer submissive. Obama, knowing he under-performed last time around, knew he had to step it up this time and that he did. Although Obama performed at an incomparably higher level then last time around, Romney showed his consistency by showing up with the same energetic and interrupting attitude as the previous debate. Interruption although perceived as rude and a negative was projected by some as a compliment towards Romney’s bold and relentless personality. If he is as relentless leading this country as he is during the presidential debates, maybe the 23 million Americans without jobs have a hope. Romney who plans on going after China for economic cheating is complimented by a quote from Paul Ryan who says, “48 percent of our debt is owned by foreign governments, China number one.” If America is going to get out of the financial debt we are currently in, more jobs need to be generated. If China still remains such a financial big-shot in this country China will be the ones producing the jobs, but in their country. Obama stated,”I believe in self reliance and risk takers being reworded.” Taking risks is a good thing at times. That being said a calculated risk is a lot different than an irresponsible one. Many people in America voted for change and although one presidential term may not be enough to show the change Obama vowed to project in this country many people hoped for more than what has become. One of Romney’s points to what seemed to be targeted towards women voters was a statistic revealing almost 580,000 more women are unemployed than when Obama took office. When the facts were checked it was revealed to be a large exaggeration considering the real number which is 93,000. Was this just a desperate plea to gain an edge with women voters? More than likely yes because of the false information given. That being said, there is still an increase in women who are unemployed. Maybe four years isn’t enough to turn the country around, but could more progress have been made is the real question. With the election coming up very soon it is essential people do the research they need to in order to select the right candidate come election day. Although both candidates offer

strong arguments, it’s interesting to hear them talk about making America economically independent when they both have investments in countries like China. During a talk about Obama Care, Romney made the argument about how it prevents job growth. Romney talked about when he asked employers about Obama Care they largely said it prevented them from hiring people. Another statement made by Romney was that in Massachusetts 98 percent of adults were covered by medicare while all children were covered. Obviously comparing the progress of state to country is unreliable, it shows Romney has the potential to do what is needed to make America a better place to live in. Obama said “change has come,” when he was elected president for his first term. A this point, our country is ready for change to come again, and Mitt Romney may be the change we need. Romney’s business record is flawless. When it comes to the economy he really knows what he is talking about. The nation is 16 trillion dollars in debt and Romney states the math is obvious, “if Obama gets elected again the debt will go up to 20 trillion.” Going further in debt doesn’t seem like the way out, especially if America wants to become an economical super power again.

Presidential debate?

More like gladiator arena. If you for one second thought that President Obama and Governor Romney should have been wearing BY JENNIFER CANNON boxing gloves at last Staff Writer Tuesday’s debate, you are not the only one. The two candidates went head to head and nose to nose against each other on extremely heated topics, but can it be said that their demeanor during the debate and campaigning process will be reflective of how the will be in office? If you watched the debate, it was hard to ignore the two candidates repeatedly interrupting each other and the moderator. The town hall style of debate, which allowed the candidates to walk around instead of being stuck behind a podium, felt more like a gladiator arena. The point was to engage them more with the audience, but it helped exposed the true colors of each man. Romney’s demeanor from the very beginning was confident, maybe a little too confident. Surely he knew that he did well in the previous debate and expected this one to follow suit. He certainly was not expecting the much more prepared and confident Obama that showed up. Obama came out fighting, probably to make up for his lackluster performance on Oct. 9, and he did not disappoint. He was well-spoken, very informative and even a little bit sassy at times. Each candidate had times where they directly called

out the other on something they believe in or have said. This typically happens and leads to a rebuttal but Governor Romney and President Obama took each personal blow to heart and interrupted as soon as an

accusation was made. This made debate moderator Candy Crowley’s job extremely difficult. She had to keep track of who was supposed to be speaking, and be assertive enough to cut off two of the most powerful men in the nation. An intimidating position to say the least, Crowley handled it by almost bargaining with the candidates. “I understand the stakes here,” Crowley said, “but I will get run out of town if I don’t [move along.]” If these two candidates cannot answer questions without arguing over who gets to talk first or get the last word in, how will they handle being president? We have seen from Obama that his style at debates is polite and

sincere and he is only aggressive when provoked by false accusations or alleged lies from the opposition. He was ultimately very engaged with the audience and showed genuine concern about moving the debate along instead of indulging further in petty banter with Governor Romney. “I just want to make sure that all of these wonderful folks are going to have a chance to get some of their questions answered,” President Obama said. Governor Romney, on the other hand, played the role of the instigator very often in regards to stepping in when Obama was talking and questioning the moderator, as well as completely ignoring her when she asked to move on. However when it came to him being the one interrupted, he was unpleasant and almost selfish. “Mr. President, I’m still speaking…Mr. President, let me finish…I’ve gotta continue.” Romney said in succession, to Obama attempting to step in. Also, many times when Obama had the floor and he was waiting not-so-patiently to rebut, his looming presence behind him was ominous and quite startling to say the least. Personally, I have not yet decided where my vote will land on Nov. 6th, but the debates have opened my eyes to more than just the issues at hand. We have two very different men before us, each with both good and bad qualities of position and lifestyle and personality. The sides that we see during campaigning are certainly not what we will see when someone takes office. The question is, which one will hold truer to themselves and their promises? Hopefully America knows the answer JMC463@CABRINI.EDU

Health tips for the winter & fall seasons

Feature

BY KELLIE MANOPPELLO Staff Writer

B S

Common cold! The key to get over the common cold is to drink a lot of liquids such as tea and water. Take or eat something with a lot of Vitamin C such as orange juice. To fight a cold your body takes 2,000mg of Vitamin C a day, so drink up!

Exercise! Just because it’s starting to get cold out doesn’t mean you have to stop exercising! The Dixon Center is full of classes that are FREE and the track is always open!

t C i w

7 Layering is your friend! You don’t just need to layer to go in the snow - it can be fashionable, too!

Try to get enough sleep - it decreases your chance of getting sick.

P p r w

t i t

3 Between Halloween and Thanksgiving coming up, be sure to keep food to the right portion size.

w a

8 No one likes getting the flu. Whenever you shake someone’s hand, wash yours and get your shots. The local minute clinic at Walgreen’s or CVS is always helpful.

o s

i b d

Create a routine to relieve stress during midterm and final times. Try to put limits on how long you’re working and give yourself a break if you feel like you need it.

5 Keeping your immune system strong in the chilly months can prevent simple everyday colds from ruining your fall and winter.

Seasonal vegetables always seem to be better in the summer but they’re not so bad in the fall and winter either! Learn to eat your brussels sprouts because they are a great veggie and are very plentiful in the chillier months.

10 Stay positive. Seasonal depression can set in during these chillier months and because it gets darker earlier, we tend to feel more depressed without the sunlight.

Make healthier choices with a busy schedule

The better fast food options... KAITLYN KOHLER Photo Editor

1. A typical drink at Starbucks can have between 200-400 calories, some even more. Instead of getting a regular vanilla latte, get a skinny vanilla latte. For a tall, it is only 90 calories. This will save you 110. 2. Love cheeseburgers? Instead of eating a Burger King Whopper, which has 760 calories and 47 grams of fat, eat a McDonald’s Big Mac! This cheeseburger only has 540 calories and you can still enjoy a cheeseburger! 3. Are you a pizza lover? Indulge in two slices of Domino’s pizza with thin crust. With only 360 calories, this is much better than three slices of Pizza Hut pizza, which has 560 calories. 4. When eating in Cavs’ Corner, it can be hard to stay healthy. Instead of soda, drink water or tea. It can save you between 100-200 calories and you will lower your sugar intake at the same time! 5. We all love carbs, but eating white bread, bagels or muffins made with white flour has low nutritional value. Try whole wheat or multi-grain bread instead! It won’t save you calories, but it will give you essential nutrients to get you through your day! KNK34@CABRINI.EDU

Debra Casey takes on the world BY RYAN MCLAUGHLIN Staff Writer

Ever wonder what kind of drive it takes to go for a Ph.D.? Besides the will to succeed, the new assistant professor of business and coordinator of the human resources degree program had some other insight about what gave her the drive. “By the time I left the practice of law, I had begun to specialize in labor and employment law,” Dr. Debra Casey said. “I like that area very much - largely because it is immediately comprehensible to everyone. Everyone works! Or has worked. Or will work.” Casey talks about wanting to make a difference in the larger work world. “Something I thought I could do better with a Ph.D. than as a practicing lawyer,” Casey said. With a goal of improving the work world, one can start to understand the person behind the professional. Coming off very modest, when asked what makes her unique, Casey admits we are all unique. “I am unique because we are each unique ... and that is why it is always so exciting to find even simple commonalities with each other,” Casey said. Before teaching and being a lawyer, Casey held a few other jobs. “I’ve worked since I was 14 - fast food, retail, temporary office help, IBM data programmer, lifeguard, bartender, server ... oh, my,” Casey said. Before taking on the world and defending the people in it, one can see how an ordinary individual can arise to be an extraordinary person with the right motivation and determination. Motivation can come from many different places but for Casey it comes from the people around her. “My students, my colleagues, my family ... whenever I

am feeling unmotivated or low energy, I can always count on somebody to say or do something that reminds me of why I got out of bed in the morning,” Casey said. Casey went to Lebanon Valley College which she commented was a lot smaller when she went there than it is now. At LVC she became a supporter of small classes and a liberal arts education. While at LVC, Casey was a biology and psychology double major.

“I’ve worked since I was 14 - fast food, retail, temporary office help, IBM data programmer, lifeguard, bartender, server ... oh, my!”

everyone can contribute, with others, to bettering the world.” Although she is just getting settled here, Casey commented about how nice everyone was and how welcome she feels here. “I’m still super new, and have a lot to learn and a lot of adjusting to do. However, this is one special place,” Casey said. A special place indeed, and although Casey has led many different paths in life she fits in perfect right here.

Fun Facts About Casey r

Favorite sports team: Phillies

On the weekends Casey hangs out with her kids and does house work.

Loves to read, enjoying both fiction and non-fiction.

Favorite foods and drink: Lasagna, cheesecake, spring mix salad and red wine.

Favorite hobbies: Taking care of her guinea pigs and rabbits.

“Can you believe I lived in an all-girl dorm on a “dry campus” that permitted no alcohol? And it was awesome.” Some may find that hard to believe but coming from a person like Casey, anything is possible. Talking about the reason she came to Cabrini, Casey said, ”The reason - the one reason - I came to Cabrini was the social justice mission. ‘Do something extraordinary.’ I’m hooked - if I’m going to work hard and leave my nice cozy bed, I might as well do something extraordinary! Or at least try ... and Cabrini is a very special place where

Pumpkin season is here, so carve in! BY BRIANNE DRISSEL Staff Writer

Autumn has come with wind and gold...golden leaves and pumpkins, that is. Pumpkins are a hot commodity come October of every year. Besides being strictly decorative, pumpkins can be used for a variety of things. This year, when gutting your pumpkin to carve your first jack-o-lantern of the season, be careful to save the insides to use the whole pumpkin in a few delicious ways.

Flesh When scooping out your pumpkin, save the flesh for a pumpkin puree that can be used to make a home-made pumpkin pie. Although difficult, if you can manage to carve out large pieces of pumpkin flesh, cut into large chunks, and bake in the oven with a little olive oil and seasonings.

Seeds Be sure to grab the seeds by the handful, and throw them into a strainer for a quick rinse. Sprinkle the seeds onto a baking sheet, add olive oil and a dash of salt. Bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes and enjoy your new snack.

Leftovers For the bits and pieces that don’t get used, you can add these to your compost to make a rich new soil your garden will love.

Tralie a standout on soccer field BY IMANI FUSSELL Staff Writer

As long as senior biology major Alex Tralie can remember, she has been on the soccer field. The New Jersey native started playing at the young age of three years old. “I just wanted to play with my two older cousins at the sport,” Tralie said. By starting in club soccer, Tralie continued to work her way playing through high school to her current stage here at Cabrini holding the position of a forward. Outside of soccer Tralie is your average college student whose main focus on her studies and staying on top of her major. This biology major is focusing on a career in Pharmaceuticals. But overall Tralie has by far enjoyed her experience here at Cabrini. “My favorite memory here at Cabrini College was my during my freshman year,” Tralie said. “At the CSAC Championship when the fall sports teams played at Immaculata University for Fall Sports Festival and all Cabrini teams won walking away with the championship, I will always remember that moment.” Tralie was an instant success at Cabrini. In her freshman season, she scored three goals and added one assist for a total of seven points in 18 games. In her sophomore season in 2010, she posted career highs in goals, assists and points. She scored seven goals and added three assists for a total of 17 points in 19 games. In her junior year, Tralie played in a career high 21

games in helping the Lady Cavs win the CSAC title. She scored four goals and added one assist for a total of nine points. To this point in her seniot season, Tralie has one goal on the season for two points. She has played in 12 of the Cavaliers 15 games this season. After attending a small high school, Tralie was drawn to Cabrini’s small size and how close the distance from home it was for her. “After staying at the campus for an overnight visit, I knew this was the college for me,” Tralie said. Currently the Lady Cavs sit in a tie for second in the CSAC standings with one regular season game remaining before the playoffs begin. With the Cavs out to defend their title, a perfect end to Tralie’s career would be a successful defense of the CSAC title. If the Cavaliers are able to win another CSAC title, it would be the third that Tralie helped win. The Lady Cavs also won a CSAC title in 2009 in addition to last year. After graduating from Cabrini this year, Tralie wants to put her major to good use and start a career by getting a job with a pharmaceutical company. But she would also like to continue to keep soccer in her life by coaching. “I would love to try and coach, even if it was with little kids,” Tralie said. “Going back to my old high school and being an assistant coach has always been in my plans.”

Golf posts 8th-place finish at Immaculata BY ANTHONY HYPOLITE Staff Writer

Cabrini’s golf team finished in eighth place today at their match on Monday, Oct. 22. In Exton, Pa., they played an invitational at Immaculata University at the Whitford Country Club. In their final match of the fall, they gave a decent effort and finished strong. Junior Rob Bass led the team with his outstanding performance. His focused approach helped him post a round of 81, including a 37 on the back nine. His back-nine score was second-best among all competitors. That was good enough for a 13th place finish. Sophomore Tommy Breslin played 34th with a strong effort shooting 89 on the day. Freshmen Nick Pirone tied with Breslin for 34th with an 89 as well. Freshman Joe Luczeczko finished with a score of 93 for a 46th place finish. A little further behind is junior Erik Fischer. He shot 89 in his round to finish in 56th. Of all the players that played, only one didn’t make it in the standings. Sophomore Ted Nebolo finished the day at 86. In the team standings, Cabrini finished in eighth of 13 teams with a score of 352. SUNY Delhi won the tournament with a team score of 315. Chris Braim of SUNY won the individual tournament shooting a 76. This was a solid finish for a Cavalier team that fared well in their four fall matches of the season. The Cavaliers will return in the spring to continue their season. AJH98@CABRINI.EDU

Seniors help Cavs roll past Baptist Bible BY SE’QUIA BAILEY Staff Writer

Cabrini men’s soccer team swept the field in a 6-0 win over Baptist Bible College on Saturday, Oct. 20. There were about 80 spectators cheering on Cabrini and their seniors at this year’s Senior Day. This marked the last home game for senior Mike Gee, Anthony Girolamo, Kyle Johnson, Ryan Juhring and Pat Wehring. Many of them found a way to make it memorable. Gee started in goal for the first time this season, and notched a shutout. He did not face any shots on goal in the contest. For much of the first half, it wasn’t the senior finding the back of the net. Instead, they helped set up their teammates for goals. Wehring assisted on the first goal of the game in the seventh minute, the sixth goal of the season for George Lambritsios. In the 14th minute, Junior C.J. Doherty scored his first goal of the season with the assist going to junior Brett Lockbaum. Just nine minutes later, in the 23rd minute, Lockbaum tallied a goal of his own, his sixth of the season, from Rey Jimenez. Johnson would assist on a

first-half goal as well, setting up Gabe Kuhn for his first goal of the season in the 32nd minute. Finally, in the 40th minute, a senior tallied a goal. Juhring scored his third goal of the season off a free kick. That capped the scoring for the first half with the Cavs leading 5-0. The Cavs focused on running out the clock in the second half. But they did manage to get another senior on the scoresheet with a goal in the half. Wehring scored his second goal in as many games off an assist from freshman Boomer Steigelman to cap the scoring in the game. This was the Cavs’ fourth straight win in their current winning streak. It improved their record at 8-7-2 overall and 5-2-1 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference. They sit in fourth place in the CSAC standings with one game remaining in their season. It was a bittersweet say for the seniors. They currently can’t be guaranteed a playoff home game. In what could have been their final game at Edith Robb Dixon Field, the Cavs dominated the field. Totaling the career of the senior group, they have led the Cavaliers to 41 wins, including one CSAC Championship, and together

Atzert scores twice in Cavs’ Senior Day win BY JENNAROSE DIGIACOMO Staff Writer

Pink t-shirts were seen across Edith Robb Dixon Field as Wednesday, Oct. 17, marked the Lady Cavs’ field hockey team’s “Play 4 the Cure” game. This also marked the Lady Cavs’ final regular-season home game for the team’s six seniors: Colleen Anastasi, Lindsey Atzert, Taylor McGarvey, Rita McKeown, Katie Savage and Kate Solewin. This marked a spectacular forty-second win of their career for the ladies, as the Lady Cavs defeated Keystone College, 5-1. The firstplace Giants were undefeated against CSAC opponents coming into the game. The Cavaliers handed them their first conference loss of the season while moving into a tie for first. Freshman Kerry Anne Farrell got the scoring started early for the Lady Cavs. She knocked in her eighth goal of the season off a perfect set-up by Atzert 13 minutes into the game. Atzert would get on the board again, this time with a goal, in the 30th minute of the first half just after a Keystone penalty. Four minutes later, Keystone’s Hope Krolewski cut the Cavs lead in half. The Cavs quickly responded only 10 seconds later when Atzert put in her team-leading 11th of the year. Going into the half, the Lady Cavs led Keystone in every category, including out-shooting them, 7-2. Coming out of the gate in the second half, the Cavs continued their dominant rampage. In the 54th minute, Savage found Karlie Gruccio on a corner for her sixth goal of the season. Two minutes later, Farrell racked up her ninth goal of the season, and second of the game, again on a perfect pass from Savage. It capped the scoring, giving the Lady Cavs a 5-1 lead. The Cavs held the Giants to seven shots, which is half their season average, while the Lady Cavs fired 14 shots on goal. It was a great day for Cabrini’s goaltender Genevieve Paulin, who made three saves on four shots to secure the win. The Lady Cavs face Immaculata University in their final

From last Tuesday afternoon to last Thursday afternoon, it looked like all of the problems for hockey fans were over. Then, just like that – just like in 2004 – it was taken away. Hockey fans in the United States haven’t had it easy trying to track their favorite players when they are playing in 15 different locations at one time. There are players in Russia, players in Germany, NHLers in the minor leagues. Last week, the NHL union made an offer to the players that appeared to be the common ground needed to strike a deal. 50/50 split of hockeyrelated revenue seemed to be that common ground. Quickly, the players found fault with it. They claimed they wouldn’t be getting their fair share because it would technically be a 56-57 percent share for the owners. The NHLPA made four counter-offers. All were declined. The lockout is still alive and well much to the dismay of hockey fans. The entire October portion of the schedule has been cancelled. Unless the two sides, both of which have no plans for future discussions at this time, come to terms by the end of the week, the 82-game season will officially be lost. At best, the NHL could still play a shortened season. In all of this, the players lied to the fans. They said they wanted to get back on the ice as soon as possible. They said they felt the pain of the fans. So in their most recent negotiations, they thought of themselves before they thought of the fans and the good of the game. They had the union and commissioner Gary Bettman on their knees, essentially begging to return for an entire season. After all the darkness has been turned to the money-hungry owners and all the sympathy went to the players, the tables have turned. The players sank to a low level by not taking the offer. Now, it appears the hockey season will be delayed until at least New Year’s 2013. Perhaps it lasts even longer than that. At this point, who knows if the puck hits the ice at all this season.

With the playoffs in sight, the Cabrini women’s soccer team took the field at Cabrini against Centenary College on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and took home a win by a score of 1-0. The Lady Cavs came on the field with determination and had one thing in mind: winning. The Cyclones were two places behind Cabrini in the CSAC standings. The Lady Cavs needed a victory tonight in order to secure a better seed in this year’s playoffs. The game was a battle between two tough defenses that were creating problems for offenses trying to find the goal. However, in the first half at the 29-minute mark, the Lady Cavs were able to score from a goal by freshman Kerri Hinkelmon.

The shot deflected off the hands of Centenary goalkeeper Megan Williams and into the net. It was Hinkelmon’s first collegiate goal. “When I shot it, the goalie had it,” Hinkelmon said. “Then my teammates screamed my name, ‘Kerri, it went in!’” The excitement was felt throughout the bleachers as the Lady Cavs went into halftime leading the Centenary College Cyclones. As the second half started, both teams returned with similar styles of play. The whole night, the Lady Cavs were able to keep pressure on the defense and had a few chances to advance the lead but couldn’t seem to take advantage. The Lady Cavs were determined to come out and win this game tonight because it was important in their future playoff bid. The famous quote of “defense wins championships” was in full effect in tonight’s action as the Lady Cavs put a stop to any momentum the Cyclones were gaining. “We were pretty excited that we were holding them,” senior Morgan Hudson, said. As the time ticked down, the Lady Cavs lone goal was enough to hold off the Cyclones. “Being that this win was crucial for a bye in the playoffs, we all played with great heart,” senior Dana Drake said. “Going into the game, I knew it was going to be challenging and competitive. We knew as a team we needed to play on the same page with high intensity.”

The Lady Cavs proved that tonight they are going to be a serious team in this year’s playoffs as they prepare to defend last year’s CSAC title. “I think tonight we had a lot of heart and that’s what won it for us,” assistant coach Molly Chenot said. Just because the Lady Cavs are in the playoffs after this win doesn’t mean the last game against Cedar Crest College will be taken lightly. With a win against Cedar Crest, the Lady Cavs will secure a first-round bye and automatically host a semifinal game. “In order to get a bye in the playoffs and host a game, we need to come out with a win over Cedar Crest,” Drake said. The Lady Cavs’ quest to return to the CSAC semifinal will be on Saturday, Oct. 27, against Cedar Crest College. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m.
