Face painting, mini golf, free Cabrini apparel and food were a huge hit on Saturday ,but the highlight of day was the Homecoming Parade.

Student athletes, family, friends and faculty gathered at Cabrini College on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013, to celebrate the Homecoming Parade and picnic with their fellow community members.

“I attended the movie Friday night, the ice cream social, bonfire and games during the week,” sophomore education, elementary, and special education major,

Caitlyn Poole said.

Cabrini’s mascot, Captain Calvin the Cavalier, shook peoples’ hands and took pictures with children while a crowd formed around the commons, before the parade.

As music played, Mr. Cabrini pageant contestant and president of Student Government Association, Greg Robinson led the parade followed by 2012’s Mr. and Miss Cabrini, Brandon Mincer and Jessica Regina.

Both SGA and CAP Board officers danced through the roads on Cabrini’s campus, alongside many other Cabrini students.

“The decorated Mr. and Miss Cabrini trucks and the CAP board group were my favorite,” psychology major, Brianna Ridgely said. “I loved their spirit.”

Almost all of Cabrini’s sports teams came out completely d r e s s e d in their uniforms or represented Cabrini’s true colors, blue and white.

“If we could have all of the sports teams get involved and have it even more advertised not only for the students but also for the community, we would definitely have more people come for the parade,” Poole said.

Most students

agree that next year there needs to be more advertising and invitations sent out to the community, to get the “word out more,” and to make the event even better than it has been in previous years.

“As years go on, I think it will become even more of a big thing, especially with the alumni coming back,” Poole said.

Many activities led up to the Homecoming Parade in various ways by being involved as a community and a family created an immense amount of fun.

The blue and white colors were worn by anyone and everyone that walked in the parade on Saturday, which represented Cabrini. It was a beautiful day, perfect for the Homecoming Parade.

Each year there have been more activities added to not only Cabrini’s homecoming but also to the College itself.

This was only the beginning of a great weekend to represent Cabrini College.

Parents say they enjoyed it and feel that there could have been even more energy. They also said there could have been better organization in regards to the Homecoming Parade. This goes along with adding more decorations and enthusiasm from students.

Some suggestions are also to start it a little later on in the day so that more students will want to attend as well.

In most cases, people

believe that a college can only have a homecoming if there is a football team.

However, at Cabrini College this is completely incorrect.

Hopefully, in the future the Cabrini community can reverse the trends of the typical Homecoming events, and celebrate homecoming the Cabrini way.

Creativity is key for the students on campus and most of them hope that the suggestions they have will make the student body more interested in this event next year.

The parents who have first year students really loved the Cabrini’s spirit and atmosphere. They were well represented in the welcoming back of the Homecoming Parade and will definitely return next year to cheer their community and children on.

We are a small college but we are a big support team, and that means we can have an even greater spirit.

“I like how Cabrini comes together as a family.” Poole said. “Everyone is just so accepting of each other throughout the whole entire weekend.”

Breaking down the Shutdown With the government officially shut down, it may be unclear as to what will happen and how we as citizens will be affected. How did we even reach the shutdown in the first place, and what actions are being taken to get back on track?

It’s official. As of Tuesday night, the government has shutdown.

And it is as serious as it sounds. Despite this fact, many still don’t know what the shutdown entails so here is a brief breakdown: Each and every year, it is the responsibility of the Republicancontrolled House and Democratic-led Senate to agree on and pass different bills to fund the federal agencies and set spending priorities. This happens every year and if they come to a stalemate, they usually will institute continuing resolutions, which keep the government funded until the next set decision deadline. However, this did not occur Monday night as the House instead passed its most recent proposal seeking again, to undermine The Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. The Senate once again rejected this and with little time for further deliberation, the deadline passed, therefore forcing the government to shutdown.

With the shutdown comes a multitude of consequences for the country and its people.

Around 800,000 federal workers were sent home Tuesday as they are considered “non-essential” workers not needed at this time. There is also a chance that these people will not be paid for the time they will miss. The other “essential” workers, like air-traffic controllers, prison guards, border patrol agents, etc., will be forced to work without pay. They will not get paid until the Congress decides to fund the government again. Important congressional hearings planned during this time period have been postponed until further notice. National parks, museums and monuments are closed, losing substantial amounts of money daily in lost tourism. We face all these things and more.

The only agencies that remain open are those with independent sources of funding, including the U.S. Postal Service and the Federal Reserve. Other agencies’ activities are being halted due to the shutdown, such as the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Justice Department, The National Park Service and more. Instrumental government functions

are disabled during this time including legal immigration status checks on prospective employees, the suspension of civil cases and the provisional support for pregnant women and new moms.

Many of these agencies plan in their budgets for such a scenario, but since it is an uncommon and expensive alternative, many will not last for more than a week, if that.

So, with the details gone over, many of us begin to think how could the House and Senate let this happen? It’s actually fairly simple. Despite being the voice of the people, the strong opinions of opposing parties overwhelmed with the knowledge that the people they were speaking for are now suffering because of a missed deadline.

While all of the people mentioned above go through the shutdown without pay, Congress is still compensated during this ordeal. It is difficult for us to imagine the people in Congress still deliberating over these issues despite the amount of time they’ve had to make these decisions and knowing that they are still being well paid while government workers who struggled before are now put into an even more debilitating situation.

It is somewhat childish even to consider the way this entire situation has been handled thus far.

For years now the House and Senate have bumped heads on issues, waited till the deadline closed in and then one forced the other into a corner to make the decision before the shutdown limit. With an issue as large and controversial as Obamacare, it was bound to cause disagreements, but the Affordable Care Act isn’t brand new; President Obama has been behind it almost his entire presidency.

No matter which side the decision fell to, it should have happened in the significant allotted time they were given and not spilled over into a period of shutdown. It’s truly impossible to say how long the discussions will take, but everyday that goes by costs this country millions of dollars and weakens the image of America. Obamacare is an extremely important issue and deserves a proper trial. At what cost does a lack of compromise mean for the well-being of a country?

It is somewhat childish even to consider the way this entire situation has been handled thus far.

Runner uses his ‘Saturday Morning Pass’ to win the 5K race held at Cabrini

BY PARISA GHAFARI Staff Writer

A striking image of a man in his 30’s began to appear as he reached the finish line in front of the Dixon Center.

Matthew Pearsall, a Penn State graduate, class of 1997, who majored in industrial engineering, won the 5K race held during Cabrini’s homecoming weekend on Saturday, Sept. 28. He heard about the run through the Bryn Mawr Running Company website, which was listed among the official sponsors. Pearsall is a local resident who enjoys exercise and fitness. Pearsall said he feels “pretty good” but has not won many races outright. Pearsall didn’t expect to be the first person to finish the race. He was “just here to try to get a good workout in.” Pearsall hopes to return next year to repeat the race again. Still out of breath, he jokingly went on to say that he thought the race was only a 2.5 mile run, not 3.1 miles.

Pearsall said the race “ended fairly fast. We ran around the campus and touched all the gates. There were so many hills, more hills than I expected.” He arrived at 7:15 a.m. to register for the run, using his “Saturday morning pass” that his wife gave him; she was home with their two small children.

Students, alumni and the local community were also included in the event. The race was organized by the Alumni Board and Parent Council and was open to all ages. Registration began at 7:30 a.m. and the race began at 8:30 a.m. The race titled, “Cabrini College 5K Chase” was designed to benefit the college by providing scholarships for students. It was a professionally timed race with the help of Bryn Mawr Running Company. The event description was listed as “An exciting wake-up 5K run or 1 mile discovery walk through Cabrini College’s picturesque campus and its renowned cathedral of trees.” The Cabrini 5K Chase is a collaborative effort between the Cabrini College Alumni organized by the Board of Directors and Cabrini Parent Council.

Race proceeds support the Cabrini Annual Fund, which directly benefits Cabrini students through increased financial aid, student programming and academic initiatives. Awards were given for top overall. T-shirts for the first 100 entrants and a post-race breakfast were provided

to all who participated and attended the Homecoming event.

Prizes include gift cards and merchandise.

Jared Schierbaum, from Delaware, was also in attendance along with college classmate John Gwiazdowski, from Philadelphia, both graduates of Cabrini’s class of 1999 and majors in criminal justice. Schierbaum is on the alumni board and brought his long time friend Gwiazowski along for the run. They are very much in touch with their community and college. Racing for fun, they both laughed when asked if they were going to win the race.

A R O U N D T H E WORLD Amanda Knox retrial over killing of Meredith Kercher begins in Italy

Amanda Knox’s battle with the Italian government continued on Monday in Florence, Italy. Knox was charged with the murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007. Knox was convicted in 2009 and spent four years behind bars. Knox was acquitted in 2011 and has been living in Seattle ever since. However, last year Italy’s Supreme Court decided to retry the case, stating that the jury didn’t consider all the evidence. A verdict is expected by the end of the year and if convicted again, Knox will be ordered to return to Italy.

Car bomb kills dozens at bazaar in Peshawar, Pakistan MCTCAMPUS

U.S. President Barack Obama delivers remarks about the launch of the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance marketplaces and the first federal government shutdown in 17 years as he’s joined by Americans who will benefit from the Affordable Care Act in the Rose Garden of the White House October 1, 2013 in Washington, DC.

Obama: Amid shutdown, Obamacare is ‘open for business’ President Obama blamed the Republicans for the government shutdown that took place Tuesday morning. However, amid the midst of a government shutdown, Obama stated that Obamacare is “open for business.” “This shutdown isn’t about spending or deficit or budgets,” Obama said. “This shutdown is about rolling back our efforts to provide health insurance to folks who don’t have it. This, more than anything else, seems to be what the Republican Party stands for these days.”

The House and the Senate could not come to an agreement on Obamacare causing the federal government to shutdown. The length of this shutdown is still unknown as this is a developing story.

Spirits and kites fly high at kite festival

BY MICHAEL SHANAHAN Staff Writer

Fun was a sentiment echoed by most of the parents and children at this years Kite Festival. “I think this is great. It’s all contained. There’s food and activities for the kids,” said Alyssa Metz-Topodas, parent of three children that were at the festival.

The playful screams of children could be heard as they ran all around the Upper Athletic Field as they attempted to get their kites airborne. Parents got in on the fun and assisted their children getting their kites into the air and some even ran around with kites as well. The kites were provided free by the college.

Weather was on the side of the event as it was a clear, sunny day with a relativity cool temperature.

The Dark Continuation of Inequality

Participants in the Immigration Reform event, the Migrant’s Way of the Cross.

BY LEONARD BROCK Staff Writer

“God has no borders.”

This was shown on a sign held up by a protester for the fight of immigrants staying in America on yellow pamphlets in front of the Stations of the Cross for Immigration Reform during the Migrant’s Way of the Cross event that happened on Wednesday, Sept. 25. It was a serene evening, in which people of different ethnicities held up their candles.

While it was being led by Alexander Garoutte people absorbed his voice while he spoke after standing at each station with a person holding the cross. After reaching the Peace Pole, people stopped and blew out their candles.

As a nation it is much easier to visit another country than it is to possibly live there as an immigrant. However, it is a long process for immigrants that don’t fit the “American Standards” of having attributes or degrees from Universities that can make them successful in the United States.

The problem is that many immigrants that come over and have or do not have family ties are not being helped in U.S. in becoming more educated. There are many children that love helping their parents and still want an education. The borders have been built even more to make sure immigrants don’t sneak over.

The event brought the problem of immigration forward. It was an atmosphere that made people think to themselves this has been going on for too long. “At the same time it was awesome,” said Cabrini Mission Corps Missioner, Martin Garcia.

Historic Hamburg Madison Milano, along with two other Cabrini students took full advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime. On August 20th, they embarked on a semester-long voyage on the sea, docking in 16 different beautiful cities on the Atlantic Ocean. While adventuring in different continents, Madison is keeping an up-to-date WordPress blog filled with vibrant pictures and posts of her travels.

MADISON MILANO Staff Writer

So you already know about the red light district.

But the rest of Hamburg, Germany was awesome too.

Like Russia, a good amount of the city was in walking distance of the ship. And even if it wasn’t, the public transportation there was top notch. I don’t know what it is about it that makes it so much better, maybe the accessibility, but it was great.

And this is coming from someone who has literally taken the train probably about 6 times at home.

I had to take a train and a bus to get to Neuengamme concentration camp. This was one of things that I just felt like I had to do in Germany. We all learn so much about WWII in school but it’s a different experience when you’re actually on the grounds of a subject you learned so much about. It was humbling and heavy to say the least. But I’m glad I did it. I would have felt disappointed in myself if I left Germany and didn’t do anything like that.

There was also a church – St. Nicholas – which was a memorial and museum dedicated to the air raids of WWII. Hamburg was hit hard with air raids and the spire of the Church of St. Nicholas was one of the highest points in Hamburg at the time, so the Allied Air Forces used it as a an orientation marker. Surprisingly, the spire of church didn’t get destroyed, so the one that is standing today is from 1874. There was an elevator that took you to the top of the spire to get a panoramic view of Hamburg. There was also a crypt that served as a museum that focused on the history of the church, so the majority was about the air raids in WWII. This was by far the craziest thing I saw there:

The other parts of Germany were not as melancholy, I promise.

Miniatur Wunderland was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Now stay with me. It’s the largest model train attraction in the world. It had mini replicas of different countries and cities from around the world, including the USA – which was kinda just Vegas and a few other random things. And the lights were on a 15 minute cycle that went from sunset to sunrise. There were tons of trains, and cars, and an airport.

An airport. Like where planes actually took off and landed. The cars had turn signals and stopped at traffic lights. It was awesome. Google it or something, because I guarantee it’s cooler than whatever you all are thinking right now.

The last morning we were there a group of us got up at 6 a.m. and went to the fish market, which is a huge thing to do in Hamburg. It’s only open on Sunday’s from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and it gets crowded.

It’s basically just a huge outdoor market with vendors selling food and clothes and jewelry and specialty items. And of course fish, since it’s pretty much right on the river. Anyway, if there was one thing to do

to get a taste of German culture, this was it; I felt like a local.

Food: great! My friends and I went to a restaurant a little outside of Hamburg, so we left the touristy area (and prices) and I had some bangin’ schnitzel. It came with a baked potato with sour cream and a salad and everything was soooo delicious. I literally crave it now.

Overall: a great follow-up to Russia.

Definitely a lot more comfortable and welcoming than Russia too. A large part of the city was kind of like a shopping district, so it was a bunch of cobblestone roads with cafes and shops and restaurants.

The center point of all this was a lake that sail boats could go out on, which was just beautiful. But the places that weren’t so touristy were in short reach as well. It also made me notice that there were no homeless people in Russia, which was weird after I thought about it.

Also, all the taxis were Mercedes. Let that one sink in for a minute.

Mental illness is not only an internal battle. It pins the suffering individual against the world, or so it would seem. I truly believe that the stigma associated with mental illness is like a giant block on the road to a stable mind. Whether it takes medicine or extensive therapy, we, as a society, should be encouraging people to seek help if they feel their mental health is not steady.

The correlation between mental illness and suicide, especially in young adults is astonishing. Those suffering, who feel as though their only escape is ending their lives, need the support of everyone. The trauma, genetics or chemical imbalance causing their instability is forced upon them. It is out of their control.

Teaching parents how to recognize any form of mental inconsistency can help for earlier recognition and response. As suicide awareness month comes to a close, we must continue talking about the problems plaguing our youth.

As a country we spend time raising money and awareness for people battling cancer. The people who are strong enough to beat it are called survivors. What about the people fighting depression, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder or anxiety?

They are battling everyday in a fight against themselves.

Shouldn’t they be called survivors too?

High speed chase and assault: are the motorcyclists vigilantes or at fault?

RACHEL ANTUZZI Perspectives Editor

Monday morning, a high-speed chase took place in West Manhattan after a father in a black Range Rover accidentally rear-ended a motorcyclist, causing him to fall from his bike.

A group of 20 to 30 motorcyclists were harassing the Lien family as they were driving down a side highway.

The bikers surrounded the SUV and decreased their speed, forcing Alexian Lien to slow his vehicle as a result.

In the process, Lien hit one of the bikers, knocking them to the ground and his bike fell on top of him. The bikers came to a halt. The bikers hit the SUV with their helmets and slashed a back tire. Lien, nervous to get out of a bad situation, gunned his engine, running over the fallen biker and hitting three others.

A chase ensued and ended with Lien being stopped by traffic, then pulled out of his car and beaten in front of his wife and two-year-old child. Of course, all six minutes leading up to the abuse was caught on camera and uploaded to the internet and went viral.

There is one question buzzing around about the

day’s event: Who is at fault? the bikers or Alexian Lien?

I believe they are all at fault, but the motorcyclists are even more so.

Yes, Lien did rear-end a biker and then run over said biker when trying to escape. However, he was provoked by the chaos surrounding him and the gang did not react in any appropriate means to the events that unfolded in front of them.

The stereotypical motorcycle gang rides squad deep and looks to cause trouble and problems for the other drivers on the road. They think they’re above the law and can throw caution to the wind. And that is exactly what they did. They made Alexian Lien panic for his life, as well as his wife and child’s by encompassing his vehicle and forcing him to drastically decrease his speed below the speed limit. It is the motorcyclists who brought the accident upon themselves.

I’m not defending Lien’s actions. The probability of the gang doing anything more than superficial damage to his car was very high. If anything, his wife should have called the police as soon as the accident occurred.

Gunning the engine and running over a person was the worst thing to do in the situation. But the gang didn’t call the police when a fellow motorcyclist was hit and then run over! They felt the need to take justice into their own hands and chase down the Range Rover and pummel the driver.

When watching the video, it starts before the biker was rear-ended and ends before the abuse. So they were videotaping their harassment of other drivers on the road. This was only situation that caused more than a little spike of anxiety in the heart of the drivers.

I know that a huge portion of people who have been following the story disagree with me that bikers are the culprits. Many have already started Facebook groups and webpages about wanting justice for the injured and arrested bikers. However, if it weren’t for them, the accident would have never happened. Lien wouldn’t have bothered the bikers and September would have ended peacefully for them all.

This incident is a cluster of one poor decision after another. Do I believe that Lien should be held accountable for the accident? Without a doubt. That cannot be overlooked. Nevertheless, the biker gang should not be looked at as vigilantes for taking matters into their own hands. Their anger is understandable but their actions are inexcusable.

Lifest Cabrini College embraces diversity through new gospel choir 8 | THE LO QUITUR.COM

THURSDAY O CT. 3, 2013

BY SE’QUIA BAILEY Lifestyles Editor

Cabrini College stresses the importance of setting a diverse environment for our students. Sophomore Breanna Smith has decided to embrace that diversity by starting a gospel choir. “It wasn’t initially my idea to start a gospel choir,” Smith said.

Smith was suddenly recognized by Stephanie Reed, director of student diversity, who heard her singing outside of the chapel. “Throughout the semester a few of my friends mentioned that they wanted a gospel choir,” Smith said. Reluctant, she avoided them until she received further confirmation from Reed. It was as if God was speaking to her through others.

“My goal is to introduce the student body to a new perspective on what it is

“Any student of Cabrini can be apart of the choir.”

BREANNA SMITH

to sing gospel music and be a Christian teenager,” Smith said. Smith hopes that through prayer and practice that the gospel choir can and will grow.

Smith wants students to really understand what they are singing and live by it.

That is what she feels is her ultimate goal. “Christianity is much more practical than most people realize,” Smith said.

Smith believes that people have this presumption about gospel choirs. Where there are black people are wearing robes, swaying side to side and belting high notes. “The choir is not just for the stereotypical African-Americans who have been raised in church all of their lives,” Smith said. Looking to have a choir of about 1215 members, Smith says that it is welcomed to all who are interested. The reality of it is that everyone on campus is not campus. Smith wants people to be able to express their love for Jesus through song. “I know everybody on campus wasn’t Catholic,” Smith said, “singing in mass wasn’t something they were familiar or comfortable with.”

“Any student of Cabrini can be apart of the choir,” Breanna said, “if you have the ability to sing and have love for God you are more than welcome to be apart.”

This was the one thing that Smith really believes is key to being apart. She is

trying to stray away from the traditional campus gospel choir. “An open-mind and willingness to work would be very much appreciated,” Smith said.

A gospel choir is nothing new to the Cabrini community. Led by Dr. Bethany, the gospel choir was short lived. “Honestly, I don’t know what happened in the past,” Smith said, “I wasn’t here to experience it.” Smith believes that this will be different because this is really what the students want and have been asking for.

“It’s just nice to have something that reminds us of what we believe in,” Smith said She faces many challenges with advertising and getting more students interested in gospel choir. Her ultimate goal is to teach others about Christ, be apart of their growth and continue to grow personally. “ I want them to know that music is more than hitting the right note,” Smith said, “the lyrics, the meaning, the personal connection and the sound are all important as well.”

Smith believes that this will allow students to grow in their relationship with Christ because will be connected with others who have a deep yearning to serve the Lord. “Gospel music is based off of emotion, sincerity, and personal experiences,” Smith said. This small idea has blossomed into a deep passion for Smith. She knows that leading this gospel choir successfully is what she personally needs to grow deeper in Christ. “It’s all about trusting in HIM,” Smith said, “for musicians, equipment, members, faculty and student support.”

Like most new clubs here at Cabrini Smith hopes that the choir will have a positive effect on the campus. “It will give Cabrini something new to support and appreciate for its difference,” Smith said. The appreciation of differences is what Smith believes brings the Cabrini community together as a whole. “Everybody doesn’t do things the same way,” Smith said, “people learn to celebrate the differences because that’s what helps unite a community not divide it.”

Under the advising of the office of Student Diversity, Smith hopes that the gospel choir will really grow further beyond her highest expectations. “Although we may start of small, I know that we will be able to do powerful things,” Smith said. Smith hopes to reach out not only to the Cabrini community through gospel concerts on campus but hopes to minister in various places outside as well. “My intent is to perform at some group homes, shelters and hospitals,” Smith said. Smith really wants everyone to know that gospel choir will be the key to breaking chains and barriers. “We will be the group known for encouraging and uplifting spirits,” Smith said.

Celebrating diversity at the Puerto Rican parade

BY JENNAROSE DIGIACOMO Lifestyles Editor

We live in a country where everyone is diverse, unique and extraordinary in his or her own way. Multiculturalism is growing rapidly and there is no better way than to have a parade that welcomes anyone from any different ethnicity or culture to come and celebrate with one other.

The Puerto Rican Parade was held this past Sunday in Philadelphia. “The parade is meant to celebrate the Puerto Rican culture and heritage,” communication major and environmental studies minor said. Jenay who is the secretary for the club Amor Latino, went with nine other group members. “At the parade itself, there were well over 1,000 people in the parade, watching and passing by,” Jenay said.

At the parade, there were a diverse group of different cultural backgrounds that celebrated the Puerto Rican culture. Amongst them were many schools and organizations and individuals who were represented at the parade.

“I attended the parade because it is believe it or not a great way to learn,” Jenay said. “To learn about different organizations in the Puerto Rican and Latino community.” Some of the organizations are widely known, while others are not.

Different people of Latino decent who are running for regional representative positions in government also come.

“Not to mention it is a great way to have fun,” Jenay said. This was Jenay’s second year at the parade. “I plan to attend many more,” Jenay said. Amor Latino goes to help educate Cabrini students about Puerto Rican culture in a fun way.

Part of Amor Latino’s mission is to celebrate and expose people to the Latino culture. “It’s important as a club to take advantage of local resources that can help us live our mission,” Jenay said.

The parade itself recognizes and celebrates the heritage. The parade showcases talents such as dances like the salsa, merengue, and bachata, a marching band, zumba, and so much more.

“It was extraordinary seeing everyone out there with so much pride,” Jenay said.

“My favorite part was watching each group in the parade perform as they walked down the street.”

“Multiculturalism is great,” Jenay said. “The world is so rich and diverse, the best way to learn about it is to jump into another culture.”

Zumba: exercise in disguise Time Management Hey Cabrini Family,

My name is Royal Blue but everyone calls me Blue.

Did you happen to notice my new makeover? I’m quite in love, email me your thoughts.

Now that we’re almost half way through the semester and our work is starting to pile up, time management is definitely becoming an issue. Trust me, I know it may be hard to balance homework, extracurriculars, and a social life, however it’s totally doable.

One of my biggest pieces of advice to all you ladies and gents is to set aside a specific amount of time to focus on each task you have to accomplish. Giving yourself a deadline will make you work more efficiently and effectively.

Also, use your time wisely! If you have two hours of free time between your classes, don’t just procrastinate and browse Facebook for the hundredth time of the day, get some work done. Trust me, you’ll feel so much better at the end of the day when you know you got your work done and out of the way.

And although it may seem like you’re spending too much time on work, make sure that no matter what you find time for yourself. It’s fantastic if you’re super productive, but find time to reward yourself.

Watch an episode of your favorite TV show or read a chapter of a book before you go to bed. Whatever it is, make sure you find time to do something each day that you enjoy, you deserve it!

But, if you’re new to reading my column, don’t worry, I’ll explain what to do. If you’ve already read my column that’s fine too, you may have forgotten. So here is how my job works.

You send me an email to royal.blue902@gmail.com with the subject “Dear Blue.” Then I will read about your situation, it could be about a relationship, school problems, or issues with friends; almost anything!

Well what are you waiting for…? Send those emails!

Yours truly, Blue

Music booms from the stereo, an eclectic and energetic mix of pop princess Katy Perry, rapper T-Pain and spicy, Spanish songs.

Students dance along to the beat, laughing and joking around with friends in the turquoise-blue aerobics room. Could this really be the scene of an exercise class?

Zumba has taken the world by storm. Leann Scherer, senior education major, has caught the fever and brings her enthusiasm to each class at Cabrini College.

The exotic sounding name is a type of dance exercise that “ties in different cultures, different styles of dancing, combined with a workout,” Leann said. One minute the class is dancing the traditional salsa and merengue to up-tempo, alluring Latin songs and the next ooze attitude during a hip- hop combination.

Zumba is all about feeling good, having fun and taking a break from the stress of school. Students do not need to be ballroom dancers or track stars to enjoy themselves and get a work out. “As long as you are moving, or trying, it is working,” the new Zumba instructor said.

Leann attended classes in New Jersey for two months and was hooked, which propelled her to become certified and bring her skills to Cabrini.

It is not breaking news that students’ schedules are crammed with classes, activities and equally filled with stress from school, family and drama. Working out is important, yet not everyone has the time or can commit to going to the gym.

Zumba classes are offered free of charge every Tuesday and Wednesday at the Dixon Center from 5-6 p.m. The hour- long classes are truly “exercise in disguise” as students shake, jump and salsa the stress away. “Zumba is a great way to work out without knowing you're working out,"junior education major, Aubrey stokes said. "I

love it and the people in the class.”

Students can see incredible results class after class as the key to Zumba is consistency. Skeptics should know that the dance workout of 10 songs, warm up and cool down, all focus on the core, including the abdominals and toning. The instructor keeps a headset to speak above the pulsing music to point out the muscles that they are working. People get into certain moves once they know what parts they are focusing on, Leann adds.

It can be easy to forget that the instructor is a student as well with a chaotic schedule of classes and student teaching, as she brings contagious energy to every class. Leann explains that her energy levels soar from seeing the students getting into the routines and letting loose.

The instructor is thrilled for her senior year, and hopes to learn more, earn other certifications, and continue with instructing after graduation. “Looking forward,” Leann said, “I’m excited not only to see new people come back, but also bring friends, and how I can hang out, have fun and do what I like to do.”

Charters on the Move

BY LAUREN HIGHT Staff Writer

Students this year walked into Founder’s lobby and noticed something different about the décor of the room. As you walk up the steps you are faced by autographed Charters of Core Values from each of the active graduating classes. For some it stood out like a sore thumb while others walked right past them without acknowledging that there are now four frames on the back wall.

This year the Charters made a move from the third floor of Founder’s Hall to the heart of the building in the lobby. Before they were tucked away in a low congested area and only those who had classes on the third floor or were familiar with Campus Ministry and the Wolfington Center would acknowledge their presence. But what made fall of 2013 the time to make the move?

“Perspective students and alumni would ask about the Charters while they were on a tour of the campus, but would never pass them on the tour path.” Dr. Anne Skleder, provost and vice president of academic affairs, said in an interview.

That was the motive. The drive came when Father Carl and the Campus Ministry team proposed the idea to Cabrini officials to relocate the Charters to a place where students congregate more frequently.

The overall decision to transfer the Charters was a simple one.

“The idea just came and it was decided that they would be moved.”

Dr. Skleder said, “There was not much philosophical thought to placing them on the third floor of Founders. There was space to hang them so that is probably why they were hung at that location.”

As a freshman, one of the first parts of the orientation program

is making your way to Founder’s lobby with the rest of your group to sign the Charter of Core Values. The values, respect, vision, community and dedication to excellence, radiate from the people who had an incredible influence on Cabrini: St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, and the Catholic educational tradition.

“It is important that the incoming students sign them during orientation because that is when they officially become a part of our community and they pledge to it by signing the Charter.” Dr. Skleder said.

As the classes of 2013 though 2016 hang proudly in Founder’s Lobby, the class of 2017 can expect to see their charter posted adjacent to those that succeeded them before the end of the semester.

Dr. Skleder emphasized the importance of including the community in decisions such as these and encourages current and prospective students, alumni and the rest of the campus to share their thoughts on the new location. Does it work? Should they be moved again? If you have opinions on their placement, please feel free to send your comments to either Dr. Skleder or Dr. Gingerich.

It’s a Wonderful Life: Cabrini’s Theater up and coming Fall play

Cabrini’s Theater Staff Director: Dr. Stretton Music Director: Dr. Adeline Bethany Tech Director: Rob Rodiac Set Designer: Joseph Burbank Provided by Dr. Stretton

BY PARISA GHAFARI Staff Writer

This year, Cabrini College is bringing to you Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.” A story, which takes place at Christmas time in the late 1940s, stars a man named George who has decided to commit suicide on Christmas Eve. When his guardian angel, Clarence, appears he shows George all the wonderful ways he’s touched people’s lives.

The story takes place in New York.

The unique thing about this show is that Dr. Stretton, who runs Cabrini’s theatre department and has been teaching at Cabrini for 12 years, has brought on a new way of getting the audience to enjoy the show. He has added several scenes where the audience interacts with the cast of the show. In the 1940’s television was still new and not many people could afford one at the time. The cast is to act as if they are on a live radio show, and the audience is at home listening.

This play has been altered by adding music and added communication. The play is approximately 90 minutes in length with no intermission, because when you were on the

air there in the 1940’s, there were no breaks between shows on the radio. Commercials added include created parodies of Pepsi-Cola and Rice Crispy Treats.

Set designer Joseph Burbank is a genius when it comes to the interior of the theater room. The theater is located in Grace Hall across from the Admissions Office. The black box where the show takes place seats about 100 people at a time.

The show is free. You may get your tickets from the activities office in Jazzmans Café or directly from Stretton, whose office is located in Grace Hall, room 279. You can have as many tickets as there are seats, you can bring anyone you want. The play will be expected to fill 800 people on 8 show nights. They’re still working on the dates for the event, so as of now there is no exact date. If it’s sold out then Stretton will have more dates added.

Students rehearse five days a week, all day Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and three nights a week. Some students will play multiple characters. There are just 12 students and two children from faculty and staff in this production.

A must see for Halloween: “The Conjuring”

BY JOEY RETTINO Staff Writer

James Wan’s summer thriller, “The Conjuring,” changed the recent anticlimactic-trend in contemporary horror films. The movie’s parallel storylines shows both the findings of Ed and Lorraine Warren, real life demonologists from the 1970’s (best known as the investigators of the Amityville Horror Case), and the seven-person Perron family.

Played by Patrick Wilson and Emmy-nominated Vera Farmiga, the demonologist duo is asked to conduct an investigation following a request by Carolyn and Roger Perron, played by Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston.

Lorriane Warren, a clairvoyant, can see why the family needs help as soon as she enters the home. After a brief walkthrough of the house she and her husband explain that the only way to save the family is to exorcise the home.

The remainder of the film sequentially depicts the final attacks by the evil that possessed the Perron family’s house, and of course a cliché happy ending (no different than any other scary movie.)

“The Conjuring” tastefully tugs on the classic thriller motifs that work best: darkness, vulnerability and even the presence of a higher power. It’s the type of story to remind you of what being scared feels like and convinces you that at any moment it could be you.

If you enjoy being scared, and watching reproduced Hollywood-dramatized tales “based on true events,” then “The Conjuring,” is a perfect watch for this Halloween season.

Men’s Golf defeats division two team by 13 strokes

BY AMBER MARSHALL Staff Writer

The Cabrini College golf team won over the Division II Philadelphia University at the ACE Club. The team had an overall score of 314-327, with seniors Rob Bass and Pat Rooney finishing in a tie for second, each having a round of 78.

Senior Erik Fischer and junior Ted Nebiolo finished at 79, tying for third place, while junior Tommy Breslin posted a round of 90. Although this was not a conference game, it was still a big win for the Cavaliers.

“We played really solid, we putted really well and it’s always nice to beat a team with a higher ranking,” said Nebiolo. “Our freshman are really good and they didn’t play in this match which makes me look forward to our future competition. So far we’ve been off to a great start. It feels good.”

The Cavaliers move on to play in the two-day Mason-Dixon Collegiate Classic at Bridges Golf Club on Saturday, Oct. 5.

Unlike most, Pallister reports that she loves the pressure and exhilaration that comes with taking on the opposing goalie.

The feeling after an incredible conference win Saturday is

only celebrated until practice Monday, where the focus transitions from the strong victory to capturing another against Cedar Crest on Tuesday.

The Lady Cavs volleyball team kicked off homecoming weekend with another victory against Cairn University improving their record to 14-3 on Saturday and putting them 4-0 in the CSAC. After the Homecoming parade the lady Cavs stormed the court and swept Cairn in a 3-0 series.

The Lady Cavs kept the Cairn Highlanders below 15 points for the first two games. “We are the strongest we’ve ever been,” said head coach Eric Schaefer, ”The teams chemistry is incredible this year.”

“We came out strong today,” said senior Danielle Carrozza.

Danielle led with five kills in the first game, while freshmen Kelly Guarino went on an 8-0 run.

Cabrini finished strong winning the first game 25-12.

The cavaliers increased the pressure in the second game defeating Cairn 25-8. With 10 kills and only one attacking error, the lady Cavs own senior Michele Fitz put up four blocks while sophomore Cassidy Koenig scored five digs.

Heading into the third game Cairn seemed to have finally grabbed a foothold against Cabrini putting up nine kills and

three service aces. That didn’t stop the Cavs from getting 17 kills and three service aces. The final game ended 25-17.

“After today’s win I know we can keep it up and win the CSAC championship,” said junior Molly Fox. The Lady Cavs will be returning to the court in Hackettstown on Oct. 2 against Centenary College.

BY HOWARD BLAKE Staff Writer

The Cabrini women’s field hockey team took on Notre Dame (Md.) University in a Homecoming match at Edith Robb Dixon field. The Cavaliers certainly didn’t disappoint as they cruised to an 8-1 victory.

The Lady Cavs started their dominance early as their first goal came only 22 seconds into the game. Junior Erin McLaughlin tallied her fourth goal of the year as she gave the Cavs a 1-0 lead.

Freshman Taylor Mack assisted McLaughlin. She continued her impact just over three minutes later as she assisted Jen Webb to give the Cavs a 2-0 lead just four minutes into the first half of play.

Webb recorded her second goal of the day, seventh of the season, on a penalty kick in which she kicked the ball to Junior Karlie Gruccio who then assisted Webb for the third goal of the half.

Sophomore Kerry Anne Farrell also chipped in a goal, tying for a team high seven goals on the season.

Junior Tori Canelli kept the Cavs hot streak alive as she scored her first goal of the season, the second of her career.

Sophomore Alexis Setley received her first goal of the year assisted by Stephanie Toomey. As the second half was coming to a close, Sophomore Ally Florelli got the first goal of her career.

By the end of the second half the Cavaliers were dominating the Cairn Highlanders 7-0. In the first half alone the Lady Cavs attempted 21 shots, which was a season high for total shots in one half of play.

It was a long day for the Cairn Highlanders, as they didn’t get on the scoreboard until about half way through the second half. Michaela Olson assisted Katie Johnson for the team’s only goal of the day.

The Cavaliers put the breaks on shooting in the second half due to the lopsided score. The Cavs went on to attempt only two shots in the second half, one of which was converted by Megan Loughman as she pushed the lead to 8-1.

“Our team wanted this win so bad that we couldn’t let it slip.” Junior Goalkeeper Genevieve Paulin said.

“With such a large team we were able to get every player in the game. That was the key to this win, we had fresh legs and all of the girls were excited to get a chance to contribute.”

The win puts Cabrini at 1-0 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) standings and 3-6 on the year. Looking to the future, the next six opponents for the Blue and White are CSAC opponents.

With a dominant victory over the Highlanders, the Cavs feel confident heading into conference play.

“A win like this is a huge motivator for our team,” Paulin said.

“All of our plays connected well to get the ball in the back of the net. It showed us that numerous people on our team can perform on the field. Overall this was a great win for our team.”

The Cavs are set to take on Marywood as they look for a second straight conference win.

Game time is set for this Saturday Oct. 5th, at 11 a.m.

Picard gives basketball a new meaning

GOOGLE.COM

Senior Alexander Picard (above) is the newest transfer student playing for the Cabrini men’s basketbal team this upcoming season.

BY JASON WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Alexander “AJ” Picard is a senior transfer for the Cabrini Men’s Basketball team. Picard is a business administration major

from Division II Goldey-Beacom college. He has been actively involved in sports since grade school, from baseball, to football, to basketball.

AJ grew up in Schwenksville PA, where he went to Souderton

High School. He lived with his mother, younger sister, aunt and his father.

AJ’s family and friends play a big role in his life, school, and sports. “I play basketball not only for myself but also for my family and most importantly, my dad,” Picard said. “I was playing football, baseball and basketball when he was raising me and when he died in 5th grade on Nov. 5, 2002 I decided to quit every other sport but basketball, which I knew I loved.”

AJ was described by his peers as a “hard-worker,” “laid-back” and a very “motivated person.”

Britney Sandone, AJ’s girlfriend, who is also a senior point guard for Cabrini women’s basketball team, described AJ best by saying, “He’s the most caring, generous, unselfish, and loving person you will ever meet. I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t like AJ.” AJ isn’t all basketball all the time. There is more to the standout than basketball, but it is rare to find AJ any where other than the gym. Picard is very motivated to making his family proud, most importantly, his late father who pasted away when he was 10.

AJ’s father may have the big-

gest impact on his basketball career and life. “When I’m shooting or doing anything relating to basketball, I’m thinking of him,” Picard said. “Its almost like I have a special connection or feeling when I’m out there, like he is guiding me in some way.”

To some it may sound strange about a senior transferring schools their last year, but for AJ he felt that it was in his best interest not just for him, but for his family.

“I transferred because at Goldey-Beacom College the basketball team graduated 2 people, which only left us with 8 on the team then 4 people failed the drug test and one person transferred and it left us with 3 people left including myself,” Picard said. “I didn’t want to go through another rebuilding year especially since it is my last. The school wasn’t worth staying for the academic or social life either since it is smaller then Cabrini.”

“I chose Cabrini because all the local d2 schools I would have to sit out a year since it is an NCAA rule.” Picard said, “I [also] wanted to be close to home, Cabrini was the best fit because of that and on top of it they had a great basketball team that wins

and plays like a team and academically it is good.” Not to mention that AJ’s girlfriend also went to the school.

The senior point guard will look to make an immediate impact on this year’s Men’s Basketball team,with his veteran leadership, and on court talent, he’s set the bar high for himself, and for his unit. “We will win the National Championship. Write it down, no questions asked.”

Picard said.

When Picard isn’t in the gym , he’s with friends, or just relaxing watching NBA, TV or listening to Drake who is his favorite Artist.

AJ’s loves to just lay back some days and nap, or chill and watch his favorite movies Coach Carter and He Got Game, while eating some of his moms home cooked pasta, with her homemade sauce that takes a day long preparation.

To some AJ may have just been a new basketball player, but he’s much more than just that. He is a friend, family man, boyfriend, Drake fan, standout athlete and scholar from Schwenksville,PA. JLW382@CABRINI.EDU

Athletic accolades are remembered for the short term, but four individuals were recognized forever for their outstanding contributions to the Cabrini College family.

Kevin Camp, Jakie Neary, Bridget Orchard and Eric Tidwell were the seventh class inducted to the Cabrini College Athletic Hall of Fame on Friday, Sept. 27.

Camp took a chance attending Cabrini.

As a senior in high school most students are looking for established lacrosse programs at colleges. Kevin was not one of those students. The thought that he could help start and build a program was his draw to Cabrini.

Kevin’s first four years at Cabrini College were the first four years of Cabrini lacrosse. In the program’s first year, the team posted a record of 7-6, including a 6-4 win over defending ECAC champion, Wesley College.

“It was great growing up as a college kid, now as an adult it’s a little different,” Camp said.

Camp went on to play from 1994-97 and ranks high in NCAA and Cabrini records. He ranks eighth in save percentage 0.733, third in saves per game with 26.23 and fifth in total saves in a season with 341 saves in the NCAA. He still ranks first all-time in Cabrini history in save percentage (0.693), single season saves and single season save percentage. He also ranks fifth in career saves with 465.

“I’ve been here for a long time,” Camp said “about 19 years total, it’s a great time, and coaching is just as great as playing.”

Camp currently is a volunteer coach for the men’s lacrosse team the past 13 years and has helped coach them to 13 consecutive conference championships.

Kevin has either played or coached with nearly every player in the program’s history.

“Having Camp come in has really helped motivate me and the team to take us to the next level,” student athlete, JoJo Cooper said.

“I would do this job without getting paid,” Jakie Neary said. “That’s how you know you’re on the right track.”

Neary’s husband Joe saw an ad in the Delaware County Daily Times for a small college in Radnor that was looking for a women’s lacrosse coach to start the pro-

gram.

Neary applied with no head coaching experience, but had some assistant coaching at Temple University and Ridley High School. Jackie also took a year off from coaching to referee but missed the coaching experience.

In her first year the team was 11-4 and made it to the PAC (Pennsylvania Athletic Conference) championship and she recieved the first of her nine conference Coach of the Year awards.

It wasn’t long before Neary developed a dominating lacrosse team. In just her second season the team went undefeated going 15-0 capturing the first of Jackie’s 12 conference championships.

Prior to her second year as the women’s lacrosse coach, the school’s field hockey head coach position opened up and Athletic Director John Dzik could only think of one person for the job.

Neary went on to lead her programs to 392 career wins and 14 conference championships between her field hockey and lacrosse teams. In addition to her success on the field her reach into the Cabrini community is outstanding.

She was awarded the Denise Edwards Award in 2001, this award is given to an individual that best exemplifies the spirit of Cabrini Athletics and was named the Honorary Alumnus award in 2011.

“Cabrini means the world to me,” Neary said, “It was truly a great honor… meeting great kids, and families that’s what it is all about.”

Jackie Neary has developed a family at Cabrini that extends far past her husband Joe, and her four kids it is her family that she raises every year on the sidelines.

“We don’t have enough time for me to really share my thoughts about Jackie,” Assistant coach, Julie Smith said, “Jackie has changed the way I look at life, building relationships with people, and the way I approach coaching sports.”

“Coaching is about relationships,” Cabrini Hall of Fame 11’ John Dzik said, “if you’re able to have a little influence on somebody, give them a little bit of help, and an idea they can use down the road and have a positive impact on somebody’s life, that’s what coaching is all about.”

Coming over to Cabrini after her outstanding career with the Wildcats, Bridget Orchard made the best of her four years of coaching softball.

Orchard took over as Cabrini softball’s head coach in 1998. Over the next four years she led the club to 129 victories including three PAC championships and two NCAA Division III Regional Finals.

The team went from searching for a home field to play and practice at, to a successful well established program.

Orchard hit recruitment hard in 2001, and put together a team that was ranked 10th in the nation and went on the NCAA Division III Final game. That same year she was named Division III East Regional Coach of the Year as Cabrini led the nation in fielding, hitting and pitching.

Even though 2001 was Bridget’s last season at Cabrini she took back more than just the awards and success.

“The biggest thing I can take away is family.” Orchard said. “I feel like players, coaches, administrators at Cabrini create a family atmosphere and everyone looks after each other.”

The last inductee of the night was former PAC Championship MVP, Eric Tidwell. Tidwell played from 1993-97 and has his name all over the Cabrini record books.

Eric ranks second in rebounds (797) and steals (197), ninth in blocked shots (65), and 18th in points (967). These weren’t the only numbers that Tidwell was associated with. The forward’s main concern was the win column. The Cavaliers went 88-22 overall during his career and 65-3 in conference games. This led the Blue and White to a four PAC titles.

The highlight of Eric’s career is leading the Cavaliers in his final season to an 85-67 win over Allentown College.

Tidwell was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, leading the team with 17 points and eight rebounds.

Through all of his success Eric took away more than just his athletic experience, a family.

“Family,” Eric Tidwell said, “you come in as an individual and you leave a family member.”

“Coaching is about relationships,” Hall of Fame 11’ John Dzik said, “if you’re able to have a little influence on somebody, give them a little bit of help, and an idea they can use down the road and have a positive impact on somebody’s life, that’s what coaching is all about.”
