After looking through numerous applications, conducting 15 interviews (by phone, via Skype and in person) and meeting with two candidates on campus, Cabrini College has named a new president. On Feb. 13, 2014, Dr. Don Taylor was named Cabrini College’s eighth president. While the process was long, Taylor stuck out to the Presidential Search Committee from the start.

“When Dr. Taylor walked into the interview room and began to tell the Search Committee about his background and qualifications, we immediately took notice,” Dr. FullerEspie, biology professor and member of the Presidential Search Committee, said in an e-mail interview. “We had been interviewing candidates for hours already on the day that his interview was scheduled, but none of the other applicants gained the same level of attention from the group compared to Dr. Taylor.”

The excitement was a mutual feeling throughout the committee, which consisted of faculty, staff, Board of Trustees and Alumni Board members as well as Student Body President Greg Robinson. The Search Committee was in charge of identifying candidates that fit Cabrini, but also bring a sense of innovation and creativity to higher education.

Robinson had a similar reaction to seeing Taylor interview.

“I was very excited for Don Taylor because he had a very innovative and push forward type of attitude and that’s where Cabrini needs to be.”

“I was sitting literally on the edge of my seat, and the time evaporated,” Fuller-Espie said. “I think that is always a positive sign when you are interviewing someone of this caliber. I kept thinking to myself that Dr. Taylor really ‘gets us’ and he had done his homework.”

Taylor visited the campus last month and met with multiple facets of the Cabrini community, including a town-hall style meeting with students, faculty and staff as well as a personal meeting with the Student Government Association (SGA) Executive Board. Undoubtedly, people took notice of his background and leadership style.

“I believe that Dr. Taylor will be decisive, but only after careful analysis and in-depth consultation with relevant constituents,” Fuller-Espie said. “He is a scientist, afterall, so his training is based on reviewing critically all available data before coming to a final conclusion.”

“I believe that when he starts next year he is gong to hit the ground running and just start making decisions and making them quick,” Robinson said. “He’s definitely a go-getter and he’s definitely someone that you have to keep up with.”

Dr. Donald Taylor, Cabrini College’s eighth president While on campus, Robinson did hold some reservations about Taylor in the presidential role.

“I was a little hesitant about his ability to let others give their opinion, because he is a very outspoken individual,” Robinson said. “But after sitting down with him and the executive board of student government, he said ‘this isn’t about me, I don’t want this to be about me, I want this to be hear you guys have to say.’ That’s when my reservations went away.”

There will, of course, be some adjustment among the community as this process comes to a close. Deb Takes became interim President on July 3, 2013. The Search Committee started looking at candidates in August of the same year. Almost one year later, Taylor will begin his presidency on July 1, 2014.

Taylor is a businessman, and a president unlike ones in the past. Robinson is confident about the change and transition that the entire college will go through; noting that Takes has been an incredible help for all that will be involved.

“I feel like now she’s gotten the college prepared for that,” Robinson said, “it will be an easier transition for Don and the institution will get used to it in a more permanent way.”

There are many things that the entirety of the college is looking forward to and much of the community believes that Taylor will be the right man for the job of making Cabrini a first choice school.

“I look forward to opportunities to show regional, state and national audiences why Cabrini College is truly extraordinary,” Fuller-Espie said. “Dr. Taylor understands our mission well, and he will ensure that as we continue to gain momentum with the strengthening of existing programs and the development of new programs that we will never lose sight of who we are.” Fuller-Espie also said that she is certain that Taylor will work effectively with the Admissions Department to address enrollment issues, though the biggest thing she believes he will bring to Cabrini is leadership.

The Ravens cut the lead to four with just under seven minutes to play, but then the Cavaliers went on a 19-12 run to close out the half with an 11 point lead (54-43).

Junior Vinny Walls and freshman Brennan McCann led the Cavs with 16 and 13 points after the first half. The Cavaliers were 23-37 or 62.2 percent

from the field, while having 11 assists with only three turnovers.

“Our focus was possessions that we didn’t score on,” head coach Marcus Kahn said. “I think we wasted 4-5 possessions, we focused defensively we didn’t talk much about our offense.”

The Ravens came out aggressive in the second half taking control of the game.

This week is eating disorder awareness week, and it brings to mind the questions; How much do people really know about eating disorders as well as their views of people who suffer from them? Eating disorders are not just physical, but also stems from genetic, biological, behavioral, psychological and social issues. They can happen to anyone, and we unfortunately live in a society that often times, pushes people towards such mental hardships.

The media is teaching us what images they consider to be perfection with the knowledge that most men and women will never look this way. It’s no secret that woman make up the majority of those affected by eating disorders. Men can also be affected just as easily, especially now that we are being taught that we aren’t what society deems “beautiful” at younger and more susceptible ages. And the worst part of it is, the adult culture that is critiquing themselves are doing it in front of our youth and that’s the first step to them realizing they don’t fit a certain mold.

A child doesn’t know that there are negative opinions to looking a certain way.

Children don’t fully grasp what it means to be fat, or skinny, or have big hips, or a

small bust, or not be muscular enough, or tall enough, or even too tall. To them, mom and dad, aunts and uncles, the important adults in their lives, they are their idea of perfection. What is more perfect to a child than their mother and father, whose presence alone makes them feel loved and special? Children watch everything their role

We’re setting ourselves up for a society of people striving for flawlessness that will never exist. People aren’t meant to be flawless. Flaws are what make everyone different. Once people accept their insecurities, the unattainable magazine covers won’t control their lives, and the lives of the people they inspire. Changing how you perceive yourself is a difficult feat, but it is worth attempting to protect the selfworth of the youth who will look up to you.

Eating disorders commonly happen in individuals looking for control. Binge eaters have a hard time controlling themselves from not eating more than they should.

People affected by Anorexia nervosa try to control how they look, because no matter they’re size, in their minds, they will always be too big.

Control means everything, because it can be almost impossible to achieve. But this is where we need to act. If we can control what our own ideals are on of how we should look, we can control our own self-image. No one person or body type is without fault, so it’s time to convince ourselves of that. Only then can we make progress towards combating at least the social causes of eating disorders and work toward a healthier looking tomorrow.

We’re setting ourselves up for a society of people striving for flawlessness that will never exist.

People aren’t meant to be flawless.

Flaws are what make everyone different. models do, including self-critique. When a mom steps in front of a mirror and says the things she doesn’t like about herself, that child immediately looks at themselves and wonders if those things in them are hated as well. If their perfect person dislikes their own imperfections, how can the children ever hope to be “perfect?” They can’t anymore, because to them, their idea of perfection has disappeared.

Facebook trying to acquire WhatsApp for over $16 billion Facebook creator and founder, Mark Zuckerberg is doing everything possible to keep up with growing user demands. This determination was evident as Facebook announced last Wednesday, Feb. 19 that they would pay at least $16 billion for the text messaging application WhatsApp. The application includes 450 million users and acquires revenue not through advertising but through a small membership fee which is waived for the first year of usage. The overall cost of the deal could increase to $19 billion as WhatsApp founders and employees would receive $3 billion in restricted stock unit that would “vest over the next four years.” This acquisition represents Facebook’s strategy in maintaining its user base in their hopes of attempting to create a group of applications all relating to the cite rather than simply maintaining its core social network.

Most-wanted drug lord in Mexico is captured For the last 13 years, Mexican and American officials have hunted one of the world’s most wanted drug lord down. Joaquin Guzman Loera has been dodging military and police personnel after escaping from prison in the early 2000s. Once he made his escape, he “reigned over a worldwide, multibilliondollar empire that supplied much of the cocaine and marijuana to the United States.” Guzman has avoided being captured time after time since his escape but fell short of freedom around 7 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22 when he was finally captured by Mexican marines and police.

Crisis in Ukraine continues to escalate Over the last three months Ukraine has been dealing with violence and death due to antigovernment movement. On Thursday Feb. 20, security forces fired on masses of antigovernment protesters. This caused what has been considered the most lethal day of violence since Soviet times. These shootings followed a broken truce that enraged protesters and caused an outrage. This proved that the tension was far from being alleviated. Not only is this fighting causing violence and killings, it is causing political allies of President Viktor F. Yanukovych to resign from his side.

Bombings in Syria continue to force out civilians What has been considered one of the largest waves of fleeing refugees since the beginning of the Syrian civil war took place as the Syrian government took part in aerial bombardments over the last few weeks.

Since the start of the war, nearly 500,000 Syrians have been displaced and forced into neighboring Turkey as government attacks continue.

The Obama administration has been trying to work on their Syria policy in an effort to pressure the Syrian government and President Bashar alAssad. While efforts are being in the United States, it is believed that Assad is purposely trying to push civilians out of rebel-run districts or using military tactics to make life unbearable for those who haven’t left. All of these facts point to the conclusion that the fighting in Syria is only getting worse.

Alumni mentoring provides real-world tips for communication students

BY DAN LUNER Photo Editor

Did you ever wonder what is wrong with your resume? Or how to sell yourself entirely in an elevator speech? Sophomore and junior communication majors learned both of those things and more through the department's Alumni Mentoring Night on Wednesday, Feb. 19.

The communication department hosts the mentoring event each year for sophomores and juniors in the department so students get the chance to participate twice. The event is designed to help students improve their pitch and help them get the job upon graduating.

Ten Cabrini alumni from various sectors of the communication industry sit roundtable with three to five students and learn more about them. Students prepare resumes for evaluation and have a chance to sell themselves with an elevator speech. After the tablebased portion of the night, everybody gets the chance to network with all of the alumni. The networking opportunities are prevalent and shouldn’t be passed up.

Recurring input from alumni was the idea of showing your personality, being prepared for anything and making yourself stand out.

"If you're not sure what to do in life, find what makes you happy," Sharvon Urbannavage, class of 2003, said. "Don't look for opportunities: Make opportunities."

Dr. John Cordes, associate professor of communication, said, "The event is great for several reasons. Speaking with the alums gives great perspectives on the varied professional paths their predecessors have taken. The event also builds a sense of history of Cabrini and the communication department."

Cordes wants students to get one thing out of the event: confidence. In regards to what is most beneficial he said, "A realization of their own skills and potentials and their abilities to present those to working professionals."

Another important pitch when it comes to interviews is "telling a story," according to Sheila Doherty, class of 1996. She described how anybody can list titles and job positions on their resume, but if one can tell a story on an experience and how you learned from it (whether it be good or bad), you will be one step further in the job application process.

Other key ideas from alumni were having a competitive differentiator, well-written and crisp cover letters/resumes and having a personality.

Nina Scimenes, class of 2006, stressed the importance of writing in the communications industry. "Every interview you go on will start

Communications majors sitting roundtable during the event with a writing test. They want to see how well you can write."

Another point brought up by Doherty was the S.T.A.R. (Situation, Task, Action, Result) response. Many times in hiring processes, employers will ask a series of behavioral questions and the S.T.A.R. response is the way to go. Many heads nodded in agreement.

"You could search the 50 most popular behavioral interview questions on Google and could possibly have between 5-6 answers for all of them," Matt Campbell, class of 2006, said.

"I wasn't sure how I felt upon hearing of the event since the only experience we had was professional development in our freshman year," sophomore communication major, Erica Abbott, said. "I was really glad I got the chance to network and hear more about the opportunities that could arise from it. The most beneficial thing from the event was having alumni from a wide range of interests."

Abbott's advice for freshmen? "Don't be afraid to talk about yourself. Not an easy thing, but it will help in the long run."

Chris Nielsen, class of 2001, said it simply: "It's all about knowing yourself."

Paul Moser, class of 1999, summed up the night in one key idea. "Take advantage of what Cabrini can offer you," Moser said.

Ultimately, sophomore and junior communication students took one step forward [in relation to taking advantage] by attending the event.

Delta Epsilon Sigma returns to Cabrini

BY JOEY RETTINO Asst. News Editor

Over 80 students were inducted into Delta Epsilon Sigma, a national scholastic honor society for students at colleges and universities with a Catholic tradition.

Dawn Francis, Delta Epsilon Sigma Faculty Advisor and communication professor, orchestrated the induction ceremony that took place in The Woodcrest Mansion’s dining room on Tuesday, Feb. 25, to an audience of just over 100 inductees, family members and faculty.

The students inducted into Delta Epsilon Sigma must have completed at least a half of their credit requirements for their baccalaureate degree and rank in the top 20 percent of their class.

“This honor society encompasses that mission of social justice which has been part of my life now and will for years to come,” Jillian Megna, junior exercise science major, said. “This honor society represents the past, but does not mean an end point—its encouragement to keep going.”

While the evening was ran by Francis, it also bolstered additional segment including an opening prayer by Rev. Carl F. Janicki, Director of Campus Ministry, introductions by Anne Skelder, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs and Deb Takes, Interim President, and a speech given by alumni, Abel Rodriguez, immigration specialist and staff attorney at Nationalities Service Center, was chosen to speak due to how important encompassing Cabrini’s “education of the heart,” is to being inducted into this honor society.

“How we treat our poor and most vulnerable defines us,” Rodriguez said. “How we care for those in this country and the policies we may support that decide what happen abroad—this is what tells us who we are. This is what defines us as people and a people.”

The majority of Rodriguez’s speech depicted what he does in the field of social justice and stories that showcased his work, while

Members of Delta Epsilon Sigma stand with their certificates and cords on the mansion stairs following their induction simultaneously calling us to work towards the same cause. “I chose the law to serve others, but know that you can pursue any career with a social justice lens,” Rodriguez said.

The hour-long event gave students recognition for the work they’ve done, and reason to keep pushing towards Mother Cabrini’s idea of “education of the heart.”

“Even though I’m in a few other honor societies, this one definitely feels more important,” Chris Keeney, American studies major, said.

“On one aspect it shows that I am one of the top students in my class, and on the other it feels good being one of the first inductees since they brought it back to campus.”

Should you commute Making the daily drive

BY ERICA ABBOTT Asst. Perspectives Editor

Ever thought to yourself, “Hey, if I commute to college, I won’t be able to get involved or understand the true meaning of what it’s like to have that ‘college experience’?” Wrong. Just because you commute to school doesn’t mean that you can’t take in the benefits and enjoy college just as much as a resident.

Let’s just say for argument’s sake as well, that by commuting, that it means you’re travelling from your parents or another family member’s home.

One of the most obvious benefits of living at home during college is the issue of cost. Commuting to school does not cost nearly as much as it does to live on campus. You don’t have to pay over $12,000 for room and board, buy an insanely expensive meal plan or pay the $75 per semester fee for laundry. That’s not to mention the loans you have to take out on dorm costs alone: living on campus all four years adds up to over $48,000 alone.

As a commuter, the cost to maintain your car and buy gas to get to school five days a week is not nearly as much as a resident is paying to live on campus (it’s roughly $70 to $140 to fill up your tank every month depending on how far and how often you have to travel). You pay $95 for a full academic year parking permit that you have to pay

as a resident if you want your car on campus anyway. Oh, and it’s also not necessary if you don’t have your car while living on campus to align your schedule with the shuttle schedule in order to get somewhere.

Another plus is that you don’t get stuck living with a roommate whom you may not exactly see eye-to-eye whether it’s because you were assigned a roommate or you get into some kind of tiff with your current one. Sure, not all roommates are bad and there may be no problems across your four years but sometimes you just want to have some time to yourself.

There lies the problem of having privacy as well. Living at home allows you to get away from some of the stresses you may be feeling on campus and allow you to have some time to yourself. Everything that goes on in the dorms can be distracting as well so it’s nice to have the option to leave campus and go somewhere where you know there will be some quiet.

You also don’t have to deal with those occasional troubles of losing your Internet connection when you’re right in the middle of submitting a big assignment or the always-enjoyable fire alarm going off in the middle of the night. They’re always fun to deal with, right?

Some people hold the belief that, as a commuter, the only times that you’re on campus are for classes and nothing else. Not exactly true as long as you make the effort to

become involved on campus, the events and the tons of opportunities. Sure, it can be a pain sometimes having to stay on campus all day and then driving back home late at night. If you’re willing to do that though, then you should have no problem. Just because you commute does not mean in the slightest way that you can’t make friends or have a social life.

Of course, there are certain disadvantages too. Dealing with traffic and delays, driving to campus in the snow (something that has proven quite difficult this winter) and the monotonous morning and rush hour commutes.

The biggest thing that you should remember being a commuter is to not use that as an excuse to hold you back from whatever you want to do while you’re in college. Don’t allow the fact that you’re a commuter make you feel like you can’t engage in the same opportunities as everyone else.

At the end of the day, the choice is up to you whether you want to live on campus or commute from home.

Personal preference takes precedence but definitely weigh your options as to what may be a better fit for you with your time as a college student. Make whatever you do a worthwhile experience.

Could you last without your phone to help someone less fortunate?

BY RACHEL ANTUZZI Perspectives Editor

Without looking, do you know where your phone is? For most people, their cell phones are within arm’s reach. It’s probably in a pocket on their person. Heck, you’re probably browsing apps while reading the paper; mindless multitasking. But what are you doing?

As a society, we are glued to our phones. We look to our smart phones for entertainment, news, social media, communication, etc. We even look at our phones just out of boredom hoping it will somehow hold the answer to the problem.

As a new smart phone user myself, I can tell you I am always looking at my phone.

Playing games, scrolling through Instagram and Vine. Sometimes I check the time on my phone and have to look again because I wasn’t paying attention the first time. I’m not the only one, am I? Or is it a disease you contract when you get your hands on your first smart phone?

When I am out to dinner with friends, half of them have their nose so far into their phone screens, I’m concerned it will poke through the other side! We are so absorbed in our social media instruments that we forget to be social.

I didn’t have a smart phone until beginning of my junior year when my Env 3 literally died; it wouldn’t even turn on when it was plugged in its charger. I did feel behind when everyone would get news before me or were more connected than myself. My mom also disabled Internet capabilities so I couldn’t even check Facebook.

Naturally, my first instinct was to play with my phone for hours until it died. And, embarrassingly enough, I did. However, when the shock of finally joining the 21st century passed over me, I realized I was starting to do what everyone else. I was almost instantaneously becoming glued to my phone.

In 2013, Apple sold 33.8 million iPhones in their Q4 alone. That means in one quarter of a fiscal year for Apple, three months, millions of iPhones were sold after the iPhone 5S and 5C hit the markets.

One in five people around the world have a smart phone. That is more than 1.5 billion.

UNICEF decided they needed to find a better way to reach out to more people in efforts to help. Thus the UNICEF Tap Project was born.

The Tap Project challenges smart phone users to open up the challenge on their phone and leave their phone still for however long they can. That means no texting, no videos, no leaving the screen. For every ten minutes you go without touching your

phone, a sponsor of UNICEF makes a donation equivalent to one full day of water for a child in need.

They aren’t asking you to give up using your smart phones, but to challenge yourself in a fun way that benefits others. Even if you just donate an hour of your time to the challenge, that’s six days of water donated to people in need.

The current record for the state of Pa. 152:44:22 and the all-time record is 178:25:38.

Can you part from your phone long enough to make a difference in at least one person’s life? Take the challenge and find out for yourself. What could it hurt?

or live on campus?

Being a Cabrini resident

BY CHRIS RYAN Asst. News Editor

It’s a question we are all faced with when we enter college: should I live on or off campus? In addition, after freshman year you are allowed the option to move off campus and live someone nearby such as those “luxury” Kingswood Apartments or you can continue to live on campus at buildings such as East or West Res. Both options have their fair shares of pros and cons.

Everyone knows living off campus allows complete independence where you may set your own set of “house rules” whether those are “no ratchets allowed” or a cup is removed if an island shot is missed in pong. Compared to living on campus you are essentially free from the conventional rules of a residence hall. Ever felt as if you had no privacy at school? Then living off campus may be the key to getting some peace and quiet to finally finish all that homework you should’ve done last week. Living off campus and independent from campus could even, if a miracle were to happen, change you from a couch potato into a young responsible adult.

The pros of living off campus may sound great but there are plenty of cons that come along with it. How many times have you heard someone say that it is cheaper to live off campus? Is that statement actually accurate? No, living off campus being cheaper is a common misconception. Sure you are not dropping over $12,000 on

room and board but every month you owe rent, upfront and in cash. Don’t forget about that water bill when you take your daily “let-me-contemplate-life” shower that takes you an average of 20 minutes. If you want to be entertained enjoy paying for your own cable and Internet too. Did I mention transportation? Well now living off campus will also require a car and money for gas. In an overall view it actually turns out to be more expensive and must be paid all upfront compared to being on campus where a loan could be used to pay for it.

Whether or not you live in the hood, better know as Woodcrest, or another one of the dorm halls such as West, living on campus allows more accessibility to the school, which may lead to being more involved. Unlike being off campus where you may only be close friends with whom you live, being on campus brings out a whole new social environment.The best part of living on campus are the utilities that are already installed into each building such as Internet and cable.

The largest cons I’ve ever come across are the privacy and space when living on campus is very limited due to having a roommate. If you can get past getting sexiled, the act of banning one roommate from the room to allow engagement in intimate relations, then you may just be able to survive the year with a roommate.

In the end it is up to you to find which option is better for you and if you plan on winging it next year and rooming with a random, may the odds be ever in your favor.

Cabrini students take on Guatemala

BY RYAN MCLAUGHLIN Managing Editor

Traveling to a country riddled with a horrid past of genocide and economic injustice is the destination myself and a handful of other students and teachers will be heading to this spring break.

If someone asked me earlier on this year what I was planning on doing with my spring break, I’d probably laugh and get whisked away in memories of my previous years.

This would normally be deduced to me packing up my Xbox, a pile of clothes, saying goodbye to all my friends and heading home to a week of sleeping in late and recuperating from the seemingly never-ending stress a college education accommodates.

This year however, things are going to be a little different. I’m traveling to another country.

Thinking back to my first week of college as a freshmen, I remember waking up a few times and being confused and worried as to where I was. Surely waking up everyday for a week in a different country will have similar effects.

During the course of my life, all things worthy of mentioning in a conversation with people I’d like to impress or intrigue began with a story of me stepping outside of my comfort zone. This is why when Nicholas Cipollone, a junior communication major and marketing minor, pitched to me the idea of taking ECG-300 (Guatemala) taught by Dr. Zurek and Dr. Raquel A. Green; I agreed.

Without talking about the course itself too much and focusing more on my anticipation, goals and expected outcomes, this class shed an incredible amount of light on issues of social justice and human rights. I would recommend to everyone I know, if they have the opportunity, to take this course.

On this trip I really look forward to waking up early every morning and seeing the sunrise in a different part of the world.

Coming from a family with a huge background in construction and having worked construction myself I look forward to doing anything I can with the skills I have developed; to help. I also really look forward to be immersed in Mayan culture.

For a week I will have no cell-phone. The average person might dread this reality but the people attending this trip alongside of me aren’t the type of people you label “average.” They have all paid money out their own pockets to travel to a different country to help, learn and grow as individuals. This speaks volumes about the tremendous people I’ve been fortunate enough to learn with and from.

I’ve always had this deep desire to see the world.

Boarding this plane on Saturday will symbolize more than just a means of travel. It will mark the beginning of my work with social justice issues. It will also define my first time leaving the U.S. I’ve also been brushing up on my Spanish quite a bit and am interested to see how well I am able to communicate with the local population. This is definitely going to be a trip I will never forget.

Not many people get the chance to experience what I will this coming week and for that I am grateful.

Be(You)tiful fashion show Celebrating every body type

BY ALEXA FERRAGINE Asst. Lifestyles Editor

One in five college students suffer from an eating disorder.

"I like the idea of being comfortable in your own skin," sophomore secondary education and history major Jim Flanagan said.

Delta Xi Phi, Cabrini's sorority, P.i.n.K, the Body Image Coalition and Active Minds collaborated to put together the 5th annual Be(You) tiful Fashion Show in Grace Hall on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

The purpose of the fashion show was to showcase all different body types and being confident in your own body. All students were encouraged to strut their stuff down the runway and could participate comfortably in their own clothing.

Bridget Wagner, sophomore business major said it was "fun and awesome to be apart of something."

Wagner was a model for the formal wear section of the night and wore a stunning black dress.

Brandon Keith Mincer and Jennarose DiGiacomo were the emcees for the night and introduced the models as they walked the runway.

The fashion show kicked off with

Once the rockstar category was in progress, senior Adrienne Warder performed "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen" and got the crowd on their feet.

After the performance DiGiacomo and Mincer introduced the fifth category which was sleepwear.

Students walked down the runway in bath robes, onesies and one even carried a stuffed animal with them.

Laura Rucci, senior math major, introduced the Purple Project to the audience and showed a short YouTube video about the importance of loving your body and getting help when you are in need.

The last category shown was formal wear followed by all the volunteer models coming out one last time to show off their natural beauty.

The goal of this event was to get people to celebrate their body and not be ashamed of how they look. Being comfortable in your own skin is a major part of feeling confident about yourself.

Major Envy– celebrating who we are

BY VICTORIA TARVER Staff Writer

PHOTO CREDIT MAJOR ENVY

Fashion defines who you are as a person; it’s also how you could represent yourself. The way you represent yourself to other people can make a big difference in your life. If you really think of it, when you make first impressions on people the first thing they see is your appearance and what you have on.

Fashion can be a lifestyle. It’s more to it than just putting on a piece of clothing or your accessories, it defines creativity, as well as the way it affects different cultures, religions and other groups in the world.

Major Envy is a new clothing line that focuses on creating clothing for everyone’s style.

Anie Jamgochian is an English major here at Cabrini and is also a model for Major Envy.

Jamgochian first got involved with Major Envy when her friend Martell Oliver, who is also the co-founder asked her to get involved and spread the word around about the line, which lead to her becoming one of their models.

“The best thing is being part of a team of wonderful people who appreciate the uniqueness of each individual and celebrate the community we build with others,” Jamgochian said.

Equality represents Major Envy and is one of the biggest inspirations. This line represents diversity

for people and shows through their products and the people they reach out towards.

There are no target audiences with the line, Major Envy wants to focus on attracting people that live for their designs, what they represent and not just for the clothing.

Major Envy isn’t just about the clothing. They have a plan in progress called the “Perfection Project” which will take in effect on March 2. The goal on their webpage stated that through art and clothing we challenge ourselves to appreciate people for who they are and the positive energy that they put out into the world.

This project focuses on embracing ourselves, respecting our physical appearance as they are and being comfortable with the skin that we are in and the clothing we decide to wear. As human, we are all beautiful and posses certain qualities of Perfection.

Take a look on Major Envy’s website and Instagram page to see if what they stand for interests you.

“I would definitely recommend this line to Cabrini students because what better way to show we are extraordinary than to support a clothing that celebrates how each individual is in fact extra ordinary,” Jamgochian said.

Dallas Buyers Club

BY HEATHER LAPERGOLA Editor In Chief

Dallas Buyers Club is a tale of growth as Woodroof sneaks his newfound cure into the country to sell to the only other patients he can now relate to, the gay community. He and his new business partner Rayon, an HIV+ transvestite played by Jared Leto, dodge the FDA at every possible turn to keep the HIV+ population alive longer while making a profit.

This movie was very well done, moving, had incredible character development and also was terrifically acted. The amount of weight lost by McConaughey and Leto alone was horrifying and truly conveyed the deadliness of the disease, giving the audience perspective. This is a well-deserved nomination and is has a real chance of snagging the award this Oscar season.

Dallas Buyers Club focuses on Ron Woodroof, played by Matthew McConaughey, the definition of a racist, homophobic, American redneck in Dallas 1985. As he finds that his life of drinking, drug use and casual sex have caught up to him with the confirmation of being positive for HIV, he is told he will likely only live for another month.

Angry and frantic to do what he can to lengthen his life, the only option he is given is AZT, which is in clinical trials at the time. After not being able to afford the drug any longer, his search leads him to Mexico where an American doctor who has lost his license leads him to a cocktail of other drugs and vitamins illegal in the U.S. that he has found have been the most effective in combating the disease.

I did not think I would like this movie as much as I did. As weird of a concept as it is, honestly, it’s not far off from where we are today. I think Phoenix’s performance will get overlooked because people won’t realize how hard it is to interact with something that’s not interacting back with you. Without actually ever being with each other, Phoenix and Johansson are able to convey a very believable relationship.

I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone; it’s an original idea, it’s thought provoking, and it’s well-acted. Do I think it will win best picture? No. But it’s worth of a nomination and definitely worth the watch.

Captain Phillips tells the true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the hijacking of the MV Maersk Alabama. According to IMDB, this ship was the first American ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.

The fact that Tom Hanks stars in this movie should tell you everything you need to know.

He is amazing. This movie was amazing. I was so drawn in by this film that I felt like I was feeling all the emotions the crew was feeling. I was as nervous and scared as they were when the pirates came aboard.

When I saw this movie I did not think it would be nominated for Best Film, however, it is definitely deserving of it. More deserving is Barkhad Abdi, who plays the main Somali pirate. His – and the rest of the pirates – acting was so good, I didn’t know if I was watching actors portraying pirates or pirates themselves.

My only negative thing to say about this movie is that it was a little too long. The ending seemed to drag on and it easily could’ve been 10 or 15 minutes shorter. Other than that, this movie is a must see.

Gravity I only saw this movie because my mom recommended it and she was willing to see it twice so I figured it had to be good. To me, this movie looked interesting, but not amazing.

And that’s pretty much what it was.

It’s definitely worth the recognition because of the way it was directed and because it’s pretty much Sandra Bullock the whole time (George Clooney is in it for like a second, so it doesn’t count much).

The technical aspects of this movie and the special effects were out of this world (get it?

Like space), and Sandra Bullock was good but

it definitely wasn’t the best I’ve seen her in.

Since Alfonso Cuarón won the Golden Globe for best director for this movie, I wouldn’t be surprised if he won the Oscar as well. And I’d like to point out that before seeing this movie I wanted to go to the moon at some point in my life, however, now I’m terrified. Thanks Alfonso.

Overall, it’s worth seeing, however it’s getting more acclaim than I expected.

The Melt Down, located in Wayne, is the perfect spot for Cabrini students to take a break and grab a bite to eat between classes or hang out outside of Jazzman’s. The small restaurant is welcoming with sunny, golden walls, warm lights, modern décor and of course mouth-watering food.

Melt Down offers its signature grilled cheese sandwiches, soups, salads as well as rich milkshakes and grilled ice cream sandwiches. Anyone with a sweet tooth will enjoy the vanilla or chocolate shakes made with rich scoops of Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Customers can choose to mix in oreo bits with their sugary concoction.

The shakes are moderately priced at $4.29 and sized. The staff was friendly and service was relatively quick. Grilled cheese sandwiches range from $4.99 to $8.99 and include classic, baja melt, ham and cheddar, bacon cheddar tomato, smoked turkey, grilled mac and cheese and Maryland crab.

Something that is often overlooked is the soda fountain machine. Coca-cola and Pepsi emblems usually blazon the drink counter, but the New Hope Premium Fountain drinks

offer different flavors including cream soda and watermelon cream.

Music from the 60’s and 70’s plays in the background of the restaurant, which gives a fun, upbeat and unique atmosphere from most franchise restaurants in the area.

12 Years a Slave–how relevant is it today?

BY CHRISTLE GEHMAN Asst. Lifestyles Editor

‘12 Years a Slave’ is a critically acclaimed movie that many have been discussing. The film holds so many relevancies because of the issue of slavery and the lasting impact that it has had on our country.

In the movie, ‘12 Years A Slave’ a young African American boy is born and raised in the North, as a free person. He is then captured by “fugitive slave catchers” and forced to become a slave in the South.

The film stresses the fact that even though he was never “owned” by anyone, he is immediately profiled as an escaped slave because of his skin color. It also highlights the fact that “fugitive slave catchers,” were not particularly selective when it came to hunting fugitive slaves. They often guessed when capturing slaves, especially since they were being paid large amounts of money to bring back slaves.

Dr. Daryl Mace, associate professor and chair of history and political science, shared his opinion of the film.

He shared that one of the elements of the film that makes it so relevant to the time period is that the story beginnings leading up to the Fugitive Slave Act. This particular act worked to address the role of the federal government’s role in protecting the state’s

rights. This was an especially important discussion regarding catching fugitive slaves outside of state borders.

When asked whether or not he had made the decision to incorporate this particular film in his African-American-based course, he isn't planning on it. Although he has not decided to use the film in his personal educating format, he said that he felt that it is “Interesting and good that a movie depiction [of slavery] is being considered.”

Mace is encouraged by the fact that this type of movie is receiving recognition on such a wide platform. When asking Dr. Mace’s opinion on incorporating ‘12 Years A Slave’ into the college education system, he responded by saying “People should learn about fugitive slave laws,” in correspondence to education about African-American history.

He also said that educators “Need to find a way to relay information [about AfricanAmerican history], but it doesn’t need to be through this movie.”

Mace simply concluded, “12 Years A Slave is a Hollywood rendition. I would be happier if people would read the biography.”

No. 4 Freshman Brennan McCann is averaging 8.1 points, 2.2 assists and .8 steals per game

BY JESSICA PARADYSZ Asst. Lifestyles Editor

Starting off with an undefeated season seems like a dream year for an athlete but for freshman Brennan McCann, this is only the beginning.

The Drexel Hill native began playing basketball at eight years old and has played for St. Bernadette’s and Episcopal High School before proudly wearing Cavalier Blue and White. While playing for his high school in Virginia, Brennan realized playing basketball was something he wanted to pursue.

In an e-mail interview he explains that a culmination of the basketball program and the plethora of other aspects that the college offers is what drew him to Cabrini.

“I knew that the Cabrini Basketball program was very unique and that it had more to offer than just basketball,” the business administration major said. “I wanted to be a part of a winning and successful program while surrounding myself with good people.”

The teammates have become a fam-

ily throughout the season, bonding during games and practices. Looking back, Brennan said, “We have come a long way, and learned a lot from each other and what it means to be a team. We all strive towards a common goal and work hard every day to achieve that goal.”

He notes that Cabrini’s “best quality” is the “unique sense of community” which is found on and off the court.

Brennan adds that “Being on the court with your teammates is definitely something special. When stepping onto the court we all have the same mindset to play hard and play together.”

Senior Fran Rafferty said that his fellow teammate is “A great asset to our team this year. He’s been getting better every day and is establishing himself as a young leader for the team.”

As a commuter, Brennan saw the advantages of being a student-athlete at Cabrini as a “Good opportunity to be close to home and play basketball at a high level under a great coaching staff.”

The coaches are proud of McCann’s achievements during his first season.

Head coach Marcus Kahn said, “Brennan is a huge part of our program and success this year. He has exceeded our expectations and is having a great freshman year.”

Assistant coach Saleem Brown acknowledges Brennan’s accomplishments and anticipates a successful college career. “As a freshman starter, Brennan McCann has been a big part of our success this year. He brings energy and effort everything he takes the floor. He’s a very hard worker and has bright future as a cavalier.”

Brennan describes the excitement of playing for the cavaliers, especially at home games. Crowds of pumped up students donning Cabrini blue cheer on the Cavaliers at the Nerney Field House from the bleachers of the packed gymnasium.

The brightly light, shining court is filled with the sounds of pounding music, cheering and a sea of Cabrini blue as the players step out. Brenan said, “The atmosphere when playing home games is like no other as it gives our team a sense of motivation and desire to play in front of our home crowd.”

As the team approaches the end of

“He’s definitely one of those guys I’m looking forward to coming back and watching the next few years,” Rafferty said.

“I think he’s got a great chance at possibly being freshmen of the year in the conference too.”

No. 7 Men’s lacrosse looking to make an NCAA run

BY CODY-TYLER CALISE Staff Writer

The Cabrini College Men’s Lacrosse team is looking to make a strong statement this upcoming season. The Cavaliers finished last season with an impressive record of 15-4 and have won the past 14 CSAC conference championships,this year however they are hungry for more than just a conference title.

Last season the Cavaliers finished fourth in the country in total offense averaging 6.68 goals per game, 10.53 assists and 27.21 points. Defensively ranking 10th in ground balls per game and 12th in faceoffs, the Cavaliers come into this sea-

son being ranked seventh among all division three teams.

Head Coach Steve Colfer is entering his 14th season, and this maybe his most challenging season yet. He will have to replace 15 members who graduated including USILA All-American’s Tim Grenier, Andrew Kvech and Bobby Thorp.

The Cavaliers biggest test this year is their youth. Unlike the previous seasons the Cavs come into this season having only one returning defensemen.

Freshman Hank Altschuler will get the start in goal. Altschuler attended Lower Merion High school and will be a key factor in the blue and white’s success this season. One thing that is certain will be the

production of senior attack Corey Elmer.

“I am excited to be a part of the Cabrini culture, and cant wait to see what the season brings,” sophomore Max Satossky said. Satossky is new to Cabrini and is also a transfer.

Elmer’s numbers for his career are off the charts resulting in several awards. Elmer’s awards include first team all CSAC, CSAC player of the year, Lacrossemagazine.com player of the week and many more.

The Cavaliers will rely heavily on Corey’s production this season, along with Junior midfielder Anthony DiSanzo and junior attack Ethan Heisman. The trio will carry the offensive workload. DiSanzo recorded seven hat tricks last year, includ-

ing four in the post season.

Another junior who figures to be a major contributor is Mike Leyden who received all CSAC honorable mention.

Leyden’s numbers include 36 points on 22 goals and 14 assists.

Once the Cavs get comfortable with their rotations and new roles, the team will be on track for its 15th consecutive conference title, and possibly a run for the division three national championship.

Tyler Johnston scored his first goal of the season giving the Cavs an early 1-0 lead. Haverford answered quickly however tying the game at 1-1.

Evan Downey gave the Cavaliers the lead back during the 10th minute of the first half.

The first quarter went back and forth as Cabrini found them trailing for the first time in the game.

Early on Cabrini had a little trouble figuring out what to do

with the Haverford offense. After the 15th minute this was all a distant memory for the cavaliers.

Cabrini was dominating from here on out, going on a 6-0 scoring run. The Fords cut into their deficit with a goal at the 12:32 mark.

Freshman Hank Altschuler was huge as the netminder for the Cavs. Altschuler was relentless, not allowing Haverford to score and maintaining a 9-4 lead late into the 3rd. The outcome was Cabrini winning by a wide margin. The final score was, 17-4.

Senior Corey Elmer picked up right where he left off last season scoring four goals. Elmer also had three assists tallying seven points total.

Cabrini outshot Haverford 44-30, including 27-14 in shots on net. History was also broken in the season opener as junior Anthony DiNenno won 13 faceoffs and scooped five ground balls, surpassing Andrew Kvech for the program’s all-time lead with 236 ground balls. Altschuler recorded 10 saves in the victory.

Sophomore Dan Hopson led the team with two turnovers while senior Joey Shallow had

four goals along with Johnston.

Also padding up the stat sheet were Downey and junior Damian Sobieski recording two assists each.

The Cavaliers will face off against No. 7 Dickinson at home on Wednesday February 25.

Game time is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

Disappointing finish to US hockey in Sochi

BY MICHAEL SHANAHAN Asst. Sports Editor

Coming into the 2014 Sochi Olympics, both the men’s and women’s ice hockey team had high expectations. Both the men and women finished with silver in Vancouver with gold going to the Canadians in both cases.

For the women, it was a rematch from four years ago with a match up against the North American rivals the Canadians. For Canada it was a chance to four-peat with a win. For the USA is was a chance win gold for the first time since the 1998 Nagano Games, the first time women’s ice hockey was an event in the Olympics.

For most of the game it was a goalie duel between the American Jessie Vetter and Canadian Shannon Szabados.

The US was first to strike midway through the second when Meghan Duggan sniped a shot from the top of the circle past Szabados. They added to their lead just

two minutes into the third with a power play goal from Alex Carpenter.

With the two goal lead and time winding down, it was looking like America was poised for the gold.

With just about three minutes left in the game, Canadian Brianne Jenner sent a puck off an American defender into the US net.

There’s a saying around hockey that the two-goal lead is “the most dangerous lead in hockey.” For the US this proved to be true. With just 55 seconds left MariePhillip Poulin tied the game up.

What looked like an American gold had crumbled into a do-or-die overtime period. Unfortunately for the US, penalties caught up with them. At 8:10 of the overtime period Marie-Phillip Poulin scored her second goal of the game, a power play goal, to bury the Americans and secure the gold.

Just one day later American and Canadian men’s teams faced off in the

semifinals. The Americans were also looking for revenge after an overtime loss to the Canadians four years ago.

Both sides were overflowing with offensive talent. All the players in this game are current NHLers.

The US came out hard in the first ten minutes of the game getting good scoring chances and playing tight, hard hockey.

While the skill and talent was certainly there for the US, Canada’s defensive game started to take away America’s chances.

Canada’s defensemen were definitely their trump card, leading their countrymen to the semifinals. Their fusion of offensive and defense were a deadly combination.

It was just under two minutes into the second period when Canadian Jamie Benn tipped the puck past American goaltender Johnathan Quick.

This one goal lead was all Canadian goalie Carey Price needed as the final buzzer sounded. Price earned the shutout, who incidentally shut the Swedish out 3-0 to lead Canada’s men to the second straight gold, and sending their rivals into the bronze medal match up.

If losing one-nothing to their chief rival wasn’t bad enough, a lackluster performance against Team Finland saw beat the USA for the bronze 5-0. A US team that had just scored 20 goals in its previous four games was shutout in two consecutive games.

For two teams that expectations we set so high for, falling so short has to be heartbreaking. At least the women were able to medal, but silver is hard to take after coming so far.

“It [the Olympics] only comes around once every four years so it’s kind of hard to

No. 74 TJ Oshie helped the United States to a 3-2 win over Russia swallow right now. It’s a tough one that’s for sure.” Jocelyne Lamourex said of their loss.

All the men can do is say they tried their hardest and look forward to the last 20 or so games of their NHL season.

“That’s the disappointing thing. If we played our butts off and were ousted by better teams you can live with that,” David Backes said. “But to have less than stellar performances in a tournament like this where it’s and done, you’re playing for your country and there really should be nothing held back. It’s going to be a sour, sour feeling for a while.”

“Aaron [Walton-Moss] just got mad,” Senior Fran Rafferty said. “That’s usually what happens…he just takes the ball and goes, he was finding Vinny, Brennan hit some shots for us, but honestly, Aaron spearheads those runs for us and it showed tonight.”

The Cavaliers did not look back after that run as they did not allow the Ravens to come within eight points, ultimately winning 109-97.

The “Camden Connection” of juniors Aaron Walton-Moss and Walls led this run and took control of the game. WaltonMoss was one assist short of this third triple double of the season, but still captured his 13th double-double of the season with 28 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. Walls had a career high 39 points and had his fifth consecutive game with at least 25 points per game.

“He’s done well offensively,” Kahn said. “He’s getting a lot of shots up…with Aaron out, we needed someone to score…he may have helped start a couple runs for us and end runs that they [Rosemont] had with a big shot for us.”

The Cavs shot an overall 58.2 percent from the field and were 23-28 from the free-throw line.

This was the fifth time this season that the blue and white have allowed more than 90 points in a game this season.

“Defensively we really have a lot of work to do,” Kahn Said.

“My number one thing is we can’t give up 97 points in a conference championship game or an NCAA tournament game and expect to win.”

Looking ahead the to the CSAC final, the Cavaliers take on Neumann University at the Nerney Field House Friday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. This will be Kahn and the Cavalier’s sixth consecutive appearance in the CSAC final. If they win it would be Kahn’s fifth straight CSAC championship as head coach for Cabrini.

The Cabrini women’s lacrosse team opened their season against the visiting Haverford College Fords on Tuesday, Feb. 25. The Cavaliers come into this season defending two back-to-back CSAC championships. A close game at the beginning ended in Haverford pulling away in the

second half and defeating the Cavaliers by a total score of 18-12.

Haverford did not waste any time getting on the board scoring the game’s first four goals. The first one came just one minute into the game.

Junior Diana Perry started the scoring to give the Fords a 1-0 lead. Goals from Hannah Morgan, Christina Gould and Megan Gallagher increased

the lead to 4-0 about five minutes into the first half.

The Cavaliers answered back with three goals of their own. Their first goal of the game came from senior Bree Thompson five-anda-half minutes into the first half. The next two goals came from Sasha Wozniak and Katie Lasater. The Fords answered the Cavalier rush almost right away with a pair of goals from Morgan and Gallagher.

After one half of action, Haverford led the Cavaliers by a score of 8-6. A much closer game than the two teams were accustomed to as recent meetings had seen much bigger deficits. That would be the case, though, once this game would come to an end.

The second half featured an abundance of scoring from both teams. The Cavaliers scored six goals in the second half while Haverford added 10 of their own. Cabrini climbed to within one in the first three minutes off a goal from Wozniak. Eventually, the Cavaliers and Fords traded goals totaling three goals apiece, bringing the score to 10-9 with about 20 minutes

left to go in the game.

This was where Haverford began to pull away. The Fords added six goals from then on out while the Cavs added three goals. The visiting Haverford College lacrosse team won the game over Cabrini by a score of 18-12. Lasater was the leading lady in goals and points for the Cavaliers with four goals on the night. Wozniak was another notable player for Cabrini adding a total of three goals on the night.

The Cavaliers won’t be in action again here at Cabrini until Monday, March 10 as Spring break approaches. They will take on visiting Ursinus College. Game time is set for 4 p.m. at Edith Robb Dixon Field.
