Cabrini retirees BY EMILY ARENTZEN News Editor “I think when it comes to a total stop, and I’m not even sure when that’s going to be, I think by then we’ll know what it’s like to be retired.” Education professor Shirley Dixon was one of six full-time faculty that retired in the spring of 2014. Along with Dixon, Dr. Joseph Romano, Professor Adeline Bethany, Professor Carol Serotta, Dr. Brian Metz and Professor Ruby Remley all said goodbye to their full-time status as Cabrini faculty. As part of what can be considered a year of transition, according to long-time colleague to Dr. Sharon Schwarze, “The college put together a really good retirement package.” The package was the deciding factor for those faculty members who were unsure of whether or not they wished to retire, confirmed Schwarze. “That was my foundation when that came through,” Dixon said. Since there is no mandatory age for college professors to retire, many try to maintain their position for as long as they can. “We need to retire because we need to have a turnover of younger professors,” Schwarze said. One incentive provided by the new retirement package, however, allowed for the privilege of retired professors to continue teaching part-time. Out of the six retirees, five are remaining on campus as part-time faculty. This group of educators collectively spent 200 years as Cabrini faculty. Of those, Dr. Romano gave the longest term of service, beginning at the college in 1960, three years after its establishment. “He’s a great recruiter for philosophy majors. We get half of our majors from Dr. Romano’s introduction to philosophy class,” Schwarze said. As far as the transition from full-time to part-time, the change has not exactly hit home as of now. “I don’t think it’s really hit any of us yet,” Dixon admitted. Dr. Schwarze, who remains full-time, reacted to this change by saying, “This is a big year for Cabrini in terms of transition with losing six professors, hiring a new president and bringing on board new administration. It should be interesting to see.”

The Policy Institute: a conversation about rape BY CHRISTLE GEHMAN Lifestyles Editor One in four women in college will experience rape or attempted rape. On Friday, Aug. 15 2014, Cabrini College held the Policy Institute for the first time in its history. The conference centered around policies and actions that must take place if/when rape occurs on campuses, workplaces and organizations. The main objectives were to raise awareness and discuss best practices that abide by the state laws already in place. Another important aspect of the conference was not only dealing with rape at the moment that it happens, but also taking preventative measures in early education. Putting policy into practice has become imperative for campuses nationwide, as the statistics show. The Huffington Post reports that one in four women in college are raped. 54 percent of of rapes that happen are not reported.
The first six weeks of college are when women are most vulnerable to rapists. 90 percent of rapes include the use the alcohol or drugs, such as date-rape drugs. At the Policy Institute, the main speaker was Katie Koestner, who was a victim of rape herself in her freshman year of college. Katie recounted that she took the incident to the school and their actions did not satisfy her sense of comfort and well being. Katie said that the school even suggested that she try to become friends with the man who had raped her. Not feeling comfortable, she chose to switch schools. Katie then chose to take her personal story to the nation media. Her family and those close to her were not in support of her decision to go public. She was also ashamed because of her faith and the judgement that she felt. Referencing her faith, Katie said, “God is compassionate and supportive.” As she spoke at the conference, she
shared that becoming a real face to the experience of rape was painful. She was always moving around, doing interviews and photo shoots and while she was still on campus, people made fun of her for being real and speaking up. To the attendees at the conference, she expressed her gratefulness to everyone for caring about her own experience and wanting to help others. She continued to remind the audience not to get too caught up in the technicalities or the rules of the policies that are put into place, but to remember to show compassion for the victims. In a recent interview, Katie said that victims must “Find forgiveness in ourselves and others when we speak [with] courage.” She encourages students to not keep their rape a secret and start by telling someone that they trust. @CHRISTLE_J

What actually is ISIS? ISIS stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levent and is an international terrorist group that currently controls a territory about the size of Maryland. The terrorist group was actually close with al-Qaeda, but during the Syria conflicts, that relationship fell apart, causing tension between the two. ISIS is an ultra-extreme group of Sunnis who want to establish a form of government based on 7th-century principles. They consider Shiites, such as those ruling Iraq and Iran, to be heretics and must be converted or eliminated. What does Sunni and Shiite mean? Like any branch of a specific religion, there are differences and similarities. Sunnis and Shiites are just another example of that. “At heart, Sunnis and Shiites are like Catholics and Protestants in the commonality of some fundamental beliefs,” according to About News. “But their differences, especially in nations where the Sunni-Shiite split is exacerbated by each other’s proximity (as in Iraq and Lebanon), run so deep that intolerance and violence shadow the two groups, making coexistence difficult. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of all Muslims follow the Shiite branch and majority of the world’s billion-odd Muslims are Sunnis.” What are the differences? According to About News, Sunnis believe that the first four Caliphs, or leaders, including Ali were the rightful followers of Muhammad. While Shiites believe imams, leaders the mosque or community, are descendants of the Prophet. What tension is it causing for Americans? Americans are being killed and that is the first and foremost obvious tension, however it’s much more than that. It shouldn’t matter if they are Chinese, African, Mexican, Amer-
ican, Candian or whatever, innocent people are being killed and that should remain the most important part of this tragedy. Some are beginning to wonder, after the horrifying slayings that there is a possibility of another 9/11. However that is just pure speculation. ISIS is using the deaths and slayings of American journalists as business transactions, by selling people for money to then purchase more weapons. They are using these deaths to push fear into the eyes of Americans. In the eyes of ISIS, the U.S. government has been supporting their Shiite enemies in Iraq. President Obama has said that he has not yet developed a complete strategy for dealing with ISIS in Syria and Iraq. He has to walk a fine line of attacking ISIS directly but not alienating Sunnis even more, because ultimately, some segments of Sunnis need to be empowered to deal with the radical Sunnis in ISIS. This situation is not just black and white, there is a very large-scale of grey in between.
ence over people in generations to come, but if history repeats itself, it absolutely will. We the people make up our society. The truth can sometimes be skewed by opinions, but the reality is that in the aftermath of the Iraq war, the Sunnis have not been included in the running of Iraq by the Shiite government. They are trying to right that wrong, and, unfortunately, the group of Sunnis who have been most successful is ISIS. American students have the resources of college – professors, academic resources and a community to discuss these issues with. Most adults in the work world do not have those resources. In other parts of our world, we become the ideal image of freedom because we are allowed to stand up for what we believe in. With the support of our government, because certain countries do not have these freedoms set in stone. In 20 years from now, do we want to look back and say I wish I had paid attention and did my homework about the Middle East back then.
Why is ISIS doing this to so many people? The reason why the extremists are acting this way is because Nouri al-Maliki persecuted Sunnis, a man that we helped put into his current role as president. Actions that the United States to attack ISIS must not be seen as favoring Shiites yet further. Why does this matter to college students? Because these are complex religious-political conflicts. Few Americans understood the complexity of the geography, politics, and religion in this area when we invaded Iraq. We went in and had a military victory in a brief time. But the military victory was the easy part and set off a chain reaction of divisions that go back centuries. College students have to study these complex realities and not make the same mistakes that we made 10 years ago. To put it simply, because we live in this society. Some times it may not seem as if the decisions we make now will have any influ-

Residence life shifts offices as well as employees BY DAN LUNER Web Editor Throughout the summer and into the start of the current semester, the Office of Residence Life has undergone several changes. With a new office, new personnel and new dynamics, the office is prepared for what the academic year may bring. The majority of changes throughout residence life fell under the umbrella of personnel. Mike Mullen and Akirah Massenburg were promoted to assistant directors of residence life and one of two graduate assistants have been hired. “Akirah is responsible for the oversight of the east side of campus and will also assist with housing assignments and community programming,” Sue Kramer, director of residence life, said. She
added, “Mike will oversee the houses and west side of campus, manage the desk assistant program and assist with day-to-day conduct cases.” Allan Meads recently joined the residence life team as a graduate assistant living in Xavier Hall and managing Xavier and Woodcrest. He is a recent graduate of Cheyney University and is pursuing his masters degree at West Chester University. Residence life is also in the process of interviewing and hiring a second graduate assistant. When it comes to the staffing addition, Kramer said, “Graduate assistants offer another layer of support to the community in the residence halls.” Kramer added, “They will work with staff to enrich the opportunities and experience of the community while supporting the visions of the de-
partment and college.” The department has also promoted two resident assistants, John Eddings and Lilly Hatheway, to student programming assistants. Programming assistants will help resident assistants in planning and executing floor activities and fundamentally promoting the community aspect of living in a residence hall. One of the more evident changes is that the team has shifted office locations. Now located in Founders 113, Kramer is very happy with the change. She said, “Whether you’re headed to ITR, the cafeteria or even classes, the new move gives us the opportunity for a lot more student interaction and traffic. It’s nice.” Ultimately, Kramer is looking forward to what the year has in store for the office and her team.

The Office of Residence Life is pleased with their change in office location as it gives them the chance for more student interaction. “The culmination of all the changes allows us to now focus more on community development, leadership and educational programming in the residence halls, which took a backseat in

Residential changes stretches campus capacity with BY AMARRA BOONE Photo Editor

Freshman Nasir Robison shares a laugh with friend Kassie Nieves in Woodcrest. Residential buildings on campus went through extreme makeovers to accommodate all current and incoming students for the fall semester. For nine months out of the year students call Cabrini home. Housing placements can make or break a college experience for students who live on campus. Some of the students are away from home for the first time and are living with unfamiliar roommates. “As the class size grew we were challenged to find space, however, I would not call this a difficulty. Our goal was to place the students who wanted housing and for the most part this was accomplished,” Susan Kramer, director of Residence Life at Cabrini, said. Unlike first year students, upperclassmen confirmed their room assignments in the lottery process in the spring. Even though the housing was confirmed before the end of the semester, room assignments changed as the incoming class increased. Some students were moved out of rooms in East Residence to make space for incoming first year students. Majority of the students moved without any complaint
but others weren’t enthusiastic about the changes. “Over the summer we had some people who were upset about being moved from East Residence to the houses and from East Residence to Xavier,” Kramer, while issues have been since resolved, said. Sophomore sociology major, Jordan Floyd, is currently staying in East Residence for the second year. Despite the stressful start to the year Jordan is excited to be back in the hall that she lived in her first year at Cabrini. “The year so far has been stressful, we kicked off syllabus week and I have been in the library ever since,” Floyd said. “I lived in East last year but there is a difference because there are more sophomores than freshman unlike last year. It is a more mature crowd, where I can sit in my room or lounge and do homework without students running around screaming “thirsty thursday”. The campus transformation started in the basement rooms of Woodcrest Hall (a first year housing building next to the Holy Spirit library). The rooms were previously used for the facilities on campus who handle on-campus cleaning. The space now accommodates nine male students like first-year Huego Ballon who is a member of the cross country team on campus. Ballon lives on the first level of Woodcrest which is also the “show room” used for potential students on admission campus tours. “I love my hall and all of my friends that I have made there,” Ballon said. First students have made a small community in Woodcrest and have more opened rooms that allow for comfortable living environments. “Some of these places were rooms in the past, it was just changing them back to their previous function. It’s typical across college campuses,” Kramer said. “The majority of students weren’t affected by the change of room designs

The best way to get pass the uncomfortable reality of your housing situation is getting involved with the campus community and expanding your friendships within your living environment. “Getting involved and being active in the community inside and outside the residence halls is how students make their on-campus experience AMARRA BOONE/PHOTO EDITOR enjoyable,” Kramer said.

New campus minister begins journey at Cabrini BY ERICA ABBOTT AND EMILY ARENTZEN News Editors
PHOTO SUBMITTED BY MANISHA DIVECHA
Manisha Divecha, the new campus minister There is a new face in the campus ministry office this year. Stephanie Salinis resigned from her role as campus minister and, over the summer, campus ministry worked to find someone new to step into the role. Effective July 30, Salinis left Cabrini to begin her new position as a member of the administration at Villa Joseph Marie High School. “My time at Cabrini was filled with laughter, fun memories, faith & leadership development, relationship building and learning,” Salinis said through email interview. After three years as Cabrini’s campus minister, Salinis came to the decision to resign stating that “My reason for leaving Cabrini
was very similar to my reason for starting at Cabrini: prayer and discernment.” Before coming to Cabrini, Salinis participated in a year of service volunteering with youth in Chicago. To Salinis, “Prayer, faith and a personal relationship with Jesus” have always played a significant role in her life. It is these personal beliefs that she based her choice on which path she would follow. After going through a “Prayerful discernment process,” Salinis found herself on the third floor of Founder’s Hall working as the school’s campus minister. Along with other offices on campus that are meant to bring a sense of community to staff and students, campus ministry is embracing the college’s Catholic identity. In hopes of creating “A space for respectful dialogue where persons of all faith traditions—and those still searching—are invited to share their journey,” a statement taken from campus ministry’s Cabrini webpage. After her years working with Cabrini’s campus ministry program, Salinis faced a very difficult decision when choosing whether or not to leave Cabrini. However, Salinis stated, “At the end of the day, I knew God was calling me to
a new ministry so I listened and I am happy here as well.” After the process of interviewing happened over the summer, Manisha Divecha was brought in as the new campus minister. “Every candidate we invited to visit campus had unique gifts and talents,” Father Carl Janicki, director of campus ministry, said through email interview. “We felt that Manisha’s gifts and talents were the best fit for our program and would allow us to grow our program.” Divecha’s credentials include serving as a campus ministry intern at Villanova University, an intern in-service at the Catholic center at Washington University and Charlottesville Catholic fellow at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish. According to Janicki, she also has a working knowledge of Spanish and Hindi, classically trained violinist and cellist and achieved her Master of Arts in Theology with a certificate in pastoral ministry from Villanova University. Some of the duties of campus minister include arranging retreats and spiritual enrichment programming, community outreach programs, leadership development and logistics for immersion trips. Janicki points out that Manisha’s goals are different from when Salinis joined

their team. “Now our goal is to strengthen and improve what is in place and intentionally and strategically grow our program. As she becomes more familiar with the Cabrini way, I hope she is able to create new opportunities for us to realize Mother Cabrini’s legacy of an Education of the Heart in ways we had not yet previously thought of.” When Divecha saw the job description for the role of campus minister at Cabrini, it included all her favorite parts of campus ministry and all the things she is most passionate about. “I’ve fallen in love with Cabrini, its mission and Mother Cabrini,” Divecha said. “I’m passionate about the work and ideas of the college. It’s the
fifth college I’ve worked at and I haven’t felt this way in every school.” She even said that the students here reminded her of herself when she was in college. One of her big goals as campus minister is helping people grow. “If I can help one person, then in a sense I’ve done my job--little steps to achieve bigger things.”

The lives of Cabrini alumni post-graduation Doing something extraordinary does not stop after graduating from Cabrini. Cabrini alumni are finding their potential and passions in their careers and making an impact. Their accomplishments would not be possible without connections garnered as students. BY EMILY ARENTZEN News Editor “I love what I do, I love coming to work every day. I love being able to recruit for my alma mater,” Emily Fiore said, class of 2012 and now current admissions counselor. Fiore found herself in the lucky 92 percent of graduates who find employment less than one year after graduation, a statistic provided by the Cabrini College website. After obtaining a bachelors degree in English with a secondary education con-

centration, Fiore found herself searching for a career that would best suit her interests, experience and talent. “I worked in the admissions office all throughout college as an ambassador and then was the admissions intern my senior year.” This experience led Fiore to pursuing the position of graduate assistant in enrollment, allowing her to also work toward her Masters of Organizational Leadership and gain experience in the field of her choice. Only five short months after graduating, Fiore found herself applying for a fulltime position as an admissions counselor, a job she claimed was only possible thanks to her connections that were made during her time as an undergrad. Ben Nanna, class of 2011 English major, took slightly longer to find his calling. “It took almost three years of calculated sacrifice to get to where I currently am in my position,” Nanna said in an email interview. His sacrifice eventually led to what he said is “exactly what [he] wants to do.” Beginning in August, Nanna obtained full-time employment as the assistant director of special programs and events at the Westfield Area YMCA. This position is something that Nanna strategically “qual-
ified” himself for. Following graduation, Nanna began working as a pool manager at the YMCA, which then led to a part-time job as a lifeguard/swim instructor. After babysitting and participating in odd-jobs to “pay the bills and eat,” while simultaneously volunteering at his current job, Nanna found himself in the position he is currently in. While finding a full-time position may have taken Nanna slightly longer than average, he stated that “it was a small amount of time in comparison to the potential lifetime of meaningful work and happiness I’m set up for.” A common theme between these two successful alumni is that Cabrini allowed them both to reach their goal of either aiding students making their way into the world of higher education or working on events and advocacy aimed at helping those with “special or adaptive needs.” Nanna also provided a bountiful list of advice for those seeking employment. For one, he stated that those entering the workforce need to listen to just as many people as they do not listen to. “Everyone is telling you something. Recognize that there are people who know what you need or want to know, people who have no idea what they are doing, and

Have you been nominated? The ice bucket challenge is filling up Facebook news feeds and becoming a pop culture phenomenon with celebrities and organizations participating. Yet, is throwing a bucket of ice actually helping ALS? Do people even know what ALS is?
Ice Bucket Challenge—A breeding ground for narcisists
BY JOEY RETTINO Managing Editor
Whether it’s a girl posting a half-naked selfie of herself on Instagram or a guy gloating about his new found CrossFit addiction, people will do anything for a “Like,” or “Favorite” on social media. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is just another example of a ploy for attention. With the help of narcissistic social media users all over the globe, the ALS Association has achieved over $100 million in revenue. The idea that people can all come together to fight a neurological disorder, such as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and raise the ALS Association’s annual revenue by 3,500 percent, is amazing and it shows the true power of a social media campaign. The problem is that the majority of people participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge do
not care about the research that goes into ALS. They’re treating the challenge like the “Harlem Shake” video fad (purely to have their own version of it). The problem I have is not with the raising awareness aspect of the Ice Bucket Challenge, but with the reasons that people are doing it. Cabrini sports teams, CAP board andmembers of administration have even taken part in this social media fad that’s been polluting news feeds for the last four weeks. What’s next? Are we going to rub mayonnaise on our arms for domestic violence? Or maybe throw carrots in a river for depression? Don’t speak about a cause because of a nifty fad, speak about it because you care. I’m a firm believer that if you put yourself in front of a cause purely for the reason of your own personal gain, you deserve to suffer the same ailment the cause is fighting for. Does that mean that I believe the people who did the Ice Bucket Challenge for the wrong reasons should contract ALS? I’m not sure (that’s harsh) but it’s incredibly inappropriate to make a mockery of a serious issue purely for a “Like” on Facebook. @JOEYRETTINO
Raising awareness, importance of taking the plunge
BY ERICA ABBOTT News Editor
The ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge” was the hit of the summer. Its mission was to raise awareness on the debilitating disease that is ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The video campaign turned viral, raising millions of dollars in just one month. In its latest news release, the ALS Association announced that from July 29 to Aug. 29, $100 million was donated from 3 million new donors. During that same period of time last year, the association had raised $2.8 million.
nurse to do everyday activities, eats through a feeding tube and is only able to speak through the help of a computer. Tens of thousands of people in the United States suffer from ALS but there is currently no cure. Oftentimes, those affected die within two to five years of diagnosis, according to the ALS Association’s website. That’s why the ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge” campaign is so important. Anthony Carbajal, another person who suffers from ALS, also made a video demonstrating the importance of the challenge. His video went viral as he discussed how scary ALS is. The “Ice Bucket Challenge” holds such a positive impact, even though money may not always be donated. Making
CREATIVE COMMONS
Before the campaign began to “Strike Out ALS,” many people hardly knew what ALS was. Now millions of people, including celebrities, have accepted the challenge and raised awareness. Celebrities like Dave Grohl, Charlie Sheen, Chris Pratt and more have made their mark on the campaign. Pete Frates, who was diagnosed with ALS at age 27, popularized the challenge by advocating for change. Little did anyone know that his first challenge would lead to such a social media phenomenon. The challenge calls for the nominated person to pour a bucket of ice water over their head and make a video of it, posting it on social media channels with the hashtags #ALSIceBucketChallenge and #StrikeOutALS. Whether they accept the challenge or not, nominees were to supposed to donate to the ALS Association. If they did not accept the challenge of dumping the water on themselves, however, a $100 donation was to be made. Any amount donated is significant though and passing the challenge on to three more people increased its visibility. Over time, ALS often leads to complete paralysis. Patient Pete Frates now depends on a full-time
the video raises awareness and gets people talking. For weeks, Facebook and Twitter were dominated with videos of people taking on the challenge. Some people began getting annoyed over seeing all the videos on their timelines of the challenge. Well, it sure got people talking, which is the most important thing. Whether you do the video yourself or don’t see the point in doing the challenge, at least awareness is still being raised. Details and information are still being exposed and circulated across the Internet. I myself was nominated for the challenge a couple of weeks ago. Instead of dumping the bucket of ice water over my head, however, my family and I made donations to the ALS Association and Epilepsy Foundation. To raise awareness, I posted an article I had written about ALS and the importance of remembering its origins. It’s not just about participating in the latest trend of dumping a bucket of ice water over your head; it’s about learning about ALS and raising awareness. @ERICA_ABBOTT
Remembering September 11th —A teacher’s lesson
BY MACKENZIE HARRIS Editor in Chief
We gathered every week in the library. It smelled of old books and teacher Irene’s coffee. I was so used to this repetitive schedule. Every week we had a day where we went into the library and spent some time learning about reading comprehension and why reading was so important.
I sat down in the cushioned chairs that were made specifically for elementary students and rested my head on the back of the chair, trying to go unnoticed as I had yet to pick my book for the day. But it was not long before Ms. Irene called us all over by singing the same song as she always sang, “R, E, S, P, E, C, T.” We always laughed at her because she sang that song to every Unionville Elementary School student and we never understood why. She started reading a book to us and, of course, I was not paying attention. When a coworker
of hers came over and whispered something into her ear, I was super relieved that for a second she was interrupted. But, instead of Ms. Irene going back to her readings, she stood up immediately and briefly explained she would be right back. When Ms. Irene came back, she had the remote control in her hand and seemed uneasy. She quickly turned on what seemed to be the news and what happened next changed the lives of everyone in that class. She threw her hand over her mouth and mumbled under her breath, “Oh my God.” I looked up to see what she
was looking at and the scene on the television showed buildings completely enveloped in smoke. There were people running around in sheer fear, debris falling from the sky and fires every where. On Sept. 11, 2001, I was in second grade during class with Ms. Irene, the librarian, listening to my teacher read a story, when I first found out the World Trade Center was attacked. I had no idea what was going on, what happened or why it happened, but everyone was crying and running around and no one explained that we had been attacked.
Sept. 11, changed the lives of so many people and it wasn’t until I was older that I understood the severity of what happened. I also never understood why Teacher Irene always sang that song, but looking back now it makes so much sense. It’s somewhat eerie that before she was preaching about being respectful to others and then just minutes after, all of America was under attack– it may have felt that way.

“I had a meeting in the North Tower”
BY ERICA ABBOTT News Editor
When the towers fell, my classmates and I were sitting in our classroom having just recently started the second grade. No one knew what was going on. We turned on the television and, amidst the confusion, the parents started picking up their children at school. My mother came to pick me up after having left work and hearing of the news. She picked me up at the elementary school I attended. She was originally set to be in New York, however, the day of Sept. 11, 2001 for a meeting. The meeting was to be held in the World Trade Center. She was set to be in New York that day, train ticket and all. She would have arrived by 8:15 a.m. to be at the World Trade Center by 8:30 a.m. The meeting was taking place in the north tower on the 82 floor, the first that was attacked at 8:45 a.m. The Friday before the meeting, the client called to say that they had a last-minute emergency and had to cancel the meeting. That Tuesday, as she was sitting in her office in Philadelphia, the phone rang. It was her mother, and when she picked up the
phone, my grandmother said, “Thank God you picked up the phone…I thought you were in New York.” My mother hadn’t heard about what happened at that point and she turned on the news to discover what occurred. For a period of time, my mother felt guilty. She could have been there and was supposed to be. Had her meeting not been cancelled, she would have been in the north tower at the time of the attacks. She was spared while many others were not.

The teachers at school faced confusion, frantically trying to figure out what was happening, the parents making their way to pick up their children. Later in the day, my family and I watched the news of the events that had occurred that day. People remember what happened that day and how it changed so much in our country. As many tuned into the radio or turned on their TVs that day, uncertainty and chaos were very much present. Sept. 11 is a day that still remains very much in our memories, 13 years later and will continue to be remembered for many years to come.

Expecting the worst—living in an age of constant precautions
BY DAN LUNER Web Editor
Since 9/11, there have been 208 terrorist attacks in the United States including 21 attacks with fatalities. From the Boston Marathon to the tragic events in Newtown, Conn., there has been a dramatic increase in security precautions and procedures. For the current generation of youth, life like this is all they’ve ever known. So what is the generation that will follow going to live through? It’s safe to say those who have traveled through an airport since 2001 have most likely had to take their shoes off prior to boarding their flight and currently the MLB is in the process of installing metal detec-
tors in stadiums across the league. Even the “Happiest Place on Earth” has had its fair share of threats and scares. Personally traveling through an airport only twice, taking my shoes off for my own safety hasn’t been a bother. But on the other hand, frequent flyers and traveling businesspeople are likely to find the task aggravating, especially if they frequent specific airports. Although it may be bothersome to strip your shoes before every flight, it could save your life from the person a few rows back.For me, I may not travel the country often, but I do regularly visit the Philadelphia Sports Complex. Midway through the current season, the Philadelphia Phillies installed metal detectors at their right field gate entrance. I wouldn’t be surprised if the other two gates at Citizens Bank Park had them by the end of regular season play. For me, this presents a hassle as it delays the entrance’s flow and potentially makes me late for the start of the game. I also wouldn’t be surprised if
other sports organizations like the NHL, NFL and NBA were taking similar procedures into consideration. For a regular at any baseball stadium, this gets tiring, but the practice may stop the next major catastrophe. Lastly, in Walt Disney World Resort’s 40+ years of operation, there have only been two times where a resort-wide closure has occurred. One of those closures was on Sept. 11, 2001. Some sites have sparked discussions on whether the vacation icon’s security is too much or too little. They suggest that if they really wanted to, guests could likely enter parks and resorts concealing knives, explosives and possibly biological weapons. But as the writer suggests, “The terrorists win if we are scared to go about our lives. As one of many controversial questions currently being discussed by lawmakers, the line evidently needs to be decided on and set. For someone like myself currently growing up, the majority of my vote would go to safety. The current generation of youth may view things with the same stance. And fur-
ther down the road, the tables may turn when our generation becomes parents. Perhaps our kids will feel their lives are being invaded. But let’s focus on the present - ultimately it may feel intrusive, but at the end of day it truly keeps us and our lovedones together and safe.

Iconic comedian Joan Rivers passes away BY DOMINIQUE DINARDO Staff Writer
Joan Rivers brought laughter into her audiences lives with her candid comedy. She shed light on the darkest scenarios by bringing hilarity into the picture. Her brutally honest judgment of not only A-list celebrities, but also herself made her one of Hollywood’s most comical entertainers. Rivers started her legacy as one of the industry’s funniest women in the late 1950s. She began her career working in small plays in the Greenwich Village section of New York City. Rivers would write skits for puppets. Her small role on "Candid Camera", an impractical joker’s show, eventually led to her appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. By the 1970s, Rivers had her own daily talk show and had made many appearances as a guest on other programs as well. Throughout the decades, became become a household name. She made many cameo performances in movies, written books and recorded comedy shows all while continuing to host a variety of on-air television programs. She also starred in a reality show with her daughter Melissa, "Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?" Before her passing, she was most commonly known as one of the hosts on channel "E!’s Fashion Police." Her abrasive humor caught the attention of many viewers and her ability to laugh at herself made her an admirable television personality.
Unfortunately after a failed medical procedure on Aug. 28 Rivers was placed into a medically induced coma. By Aug. 30 Rivers was placed on life support at Mount Sinai Hospital. A few days later, she was moved from the intensive care unit to a secluded room just a few days later with no further update on the status of her health. On Sept. 4, 2014, it was announced that Rivers had passed away. Her daughter Melissa released a statement on her and her son’s behalf thanking the public for their unconditional support during this very difficult time. Although she was established, many people of this generation do not know of her work. Nicole Hallinan, a junior early education major said "When I heard of Joan River's death, I was so surprised because I watched her on E! News earlier that week accepting the ice bucket challenge. However, it is hard for me to give input because I don't know much about her comedy." Joan Rivers will forever be remembered as one of the most iconic female comedians and her sense of humor and style will greatly be missed.

How far will people go to get a like? JESSICA PARADYSZ Perspectives Editor
Practically everyone is addicted to Facebook and Instagram. Social media is the future, an entertaining and addictive one at that. People are able to keep in touch, share album-worthy pictures of prom, graduation and family dinners. On the other end, newsfeeds are full of girls posting selfies with their pink lips puckered in a duck face and the iconic drunken selfies complete with red solo cups or a beer bottle blazoned with a noticeable brand. People can be obsessed with getting the perfect profile picture or spend more of their time on vacation snapping pics from their iPhones laboring over deciding the best filter to make the beach pic look amazing. It goes without saying that the picture needs to come across as pretty without trying too hard. There’s the worry that your mom is going to post those horrible pics from a family trip and tag you in them because she thinks it’s cute. After posing for a pic with friends, people greedily ask to see the phone, not just because they want to see how it turned out. Someone is always saying that their hair looks messed up and it’s not Instagram-worthy. Many people are guilty of these small obsessions, but why do people care so much about a picture snapped in an instant?
Who doesn't get a little excited when scrolling through Facebook to see that bright red notification flashing that someone liked their photo? It’s a sudden rush or high. Okay, maybe not that exciting, but it’s satisfying to know that someone liked what you posted-especially if you took all of the time and effort to
make an artsy photo on Instagram look effortless. Yet in the age of popularity being summed up by the amount of followers you have or likes you garner, it’s difficult to draw the line. Although it is innocent and normal to want people to like photos, this should not be a way to feel accepted or grab attention. People (myself included) need to enjoy a moment and stop worrying about how it is going to look posted for everyone to see. Life is not perfect and in real life
there is no Photoshop , soft filters or cropping. A recent example of social media’s sneaky pressure is the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Raising awareness for crippling diseases seems innocent enough, even noble. Using media in a digital age is ingenious to involve those of college age and younger. If people really think about it, tagging friends and giving a sentence of donating 100 dollars or dumping freezing cold water all over is not in the spirit of raising awareness. Newsfeeds became their own YouTube channels of ice bucket challenge, some people making elaborate posts and using the challenge to show off in a bathing suit to get a bunch of friends to like their videos. Facebook and Instagram will not go out of style for a long time and posting pictures is a great way to keep in touch, preserve memories and show off photography skills (even if aided by filters.) Of course it’s rewarding to have a notice that someone liked a photo, that’s natural. Yet let’s put the phone down, stop focusing on posting the most epic pic and enjoy life. Finding all attention through media outlets is more of a transient sense of happiness. Go make something last longer than it takes to snap a picture. @JESSICAPARADYSZ
CAP Board reflects on the new year ahead EMILY ARENTZEN News Editor
Acting as the college's main programmer on campus, the Campus Activities and programming (CAP) Board brings "social, cultural and educational" activities to campus, according to their Cabrini webpage.

Apple announces two new phones, innovative payment system
What kind of trouble can you get yourself in while living on campus?

BY ALEXA FERRAGINE Lifestyles Editor
Apple created quite a buzz when they announced the unveiling of two new phones. The Apple 6 and the Apple 6 Plus go on sale Sept. 19 (availabe to pre order Sept. 12) Apple also unveiled their new Apple Watch which will be on sale in 2015. ApplePay, a new and more secure payment system for Apple users.
Moving into college and staying in a dorm is sometimes the first time students have ultimately free reign and no one to answer to. During their first year of school students tend to push the limit and see how far they can go without getting in any type of trouble with the school or, even worse, their parents. However, some students while still attending a four year school decide to continue living at home for whatever reasons whether it be financial or the fact that they just feel that they are not ready to live away from home yet. The average student starts college at the age of 18. "When I came to Cabrini I had the type of freedom that I never had living at home. So I did things that I couldn't do at home at school." Cody Calise senior communication major. That being said, it raises the question if going to college and living on your own ultimately sets you up for more opportunities to get in trouble. A recent statistic from Cabrini's public safety annual security report stated that from 2010-2012 there were 499 liquor law violations on campus at Cabrini and 450 liquor law violations that took place in the residential facilities. All of these were dealt with by disciplinary action. "Living on campus you have to be careful with what your doing, you still have rules to obey even though you don't live under your parents

According to Cabrini's public safety report liquor law violations have been the biggest problem for Cabrini and the public safety department. "People think since they don't have to answer to their parents they have nobody to answer to. They think since they are living in their own room with friends they can get away with drinking." Baldi said. Between 2010 and 2012 37 of those liquor law violations turned into arrests. Cabrini continues to monitor the safety and health of students by having public safety make rounds through every residence building throughout the day and night. @ALEXAFERRAGINE

Cabrini alumna remembers her unsung hero
ANN GLEAVY / SUBMITTED PHOTO

The succession of terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001 in New York City had a lasting effect on all American citizens and Ann Gleavy, Cabrini alumna ‘88, has a heartfelt connection to the sudden dysfunction. Gleavy met Mike Mancusso in grade school and after 10 years of lost communication, they were reunited while working at the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1988. While they were friends when they first realized they would be working together, their relationship bloomed into something much deeper. Through the ups and the downs, Gleavy and Mancusso supported each other 100 percent. Naturally they spent as much time physically together as they could but with their work at the FBI being so demanding, there would be periods where their jobs would force them to be states apart. At their furthest stretch, Gleavy was located in Savannah, GA and Mancusso was in Los Angeles, CA. With the distance, phone calls became their one-way ticket to each other. “Before we hung up we would always say to each other ‘Goodnight, I love you,’” Gleavy said. After spending four years apart, Gleavy moved back to Maryland and Mancusso moved back to New Jersey. While their relocation lessened the strain of hosting a long-distance relationship, they still valued those calls to each other. “We were inseparable,” she said. “We worked and played together if we were in
the same place or not.” Gleavy has had a history of health issues and on Sept. 10, 2001, she went into surgery to battle an ovarian tumor in a Washington D.C. hospital. “I survived because he was on the phone with me,” Gleavy said. “He worked in the office building right next to the towers. The next morning he called me on his way to get coffee at 1 World Trade Center and the last words we said to each other were: Mancusso: ‘I love you. I’ll see you on Friday. Gleavy: I love you. Have a quad shot of espresso for me!’” Within five minutes of hanging up, she witnessed the towers being set ablaze on her hospital television. Had she not been in the hospital for her surgery, Gleavy would have been at work just six blocks away from the Pentagon, which also took a hit from an aircraft approximately an hour after the World Trade Center had collapsed. “After we heard that the Pentagon had been attacked, I was released from the
hospital so they could make room for victims that needed treatment,” Gleavy said. She had not heard any news from Mancusso after the attack, but was given the gift of relief when she heard that her family was unharmed. Her cousin was supposed to be working in a restaurant at the top of the towers but instead attended a meeting and her aunt, who used to work at the World Trade Center, witnessed the crash with a cup of coffee in hand from her Bayonne, NJ home’s balcony. Unfortunately, Mancusso was not as fortuitous as Gleavy’s family. Mancusso was a victim of the first tower. Growing up in NJ he was a lifeguard and paramedic, so his natural instinct was to save the lives of others before considering his own. “It took three weeks until they found his arm. He could have just run away but instead did what his instinct told him to and tried to get as many people out of the

World Trade Center as he could,” Gleavy said. “It was hard. It was hard because he was my best friend and we were going to spend the rest of our lives together.” While Gleavy was, and still is, heartbroken over losing the love of her life, she uses her experience to strengthen the lives of others. “Since 9/11 I have been very active in fundraisers pertaining to it. I run in the 9/11 Family and Friends Run and participate in Tuesday’s Children,” Gleavy said. Tuesday’s Children is a charity that offers guidance to children who lost a parent or guardian in the Twin Tower’s collapse. Along with charities, there are support groups that work to strengthen those affected by the terrorist raid. Gleavy is a member of an association that unites those who lost their significant others in the attack and is grateful for the uplifting spirits they have brought one another. “When I got the call that Mike had passed, it was difficult. I was angry, I was sad but I was with everyone else which made it easier. America has come together since Sept. 11, 2001 and that day changed my life along with the lives of over 3,000 people. Freedom is not free and always remember to thank a hero. They give their lives for us.” @HIGHTLAUREN

10 hot apps to download this school year BY DAN LUNER Web Editor
With the beginning of the fall term quickly getting into gear, you might need some new apps on your mobile device to help you accomplish your schoolwork. From psychology to finance and even English, apps can tackle a wide variety of subjects. So in no specific order, here are 10 apps that should be on your phone this year. 1. TED Cost: Free Most people enjoy and get a lot out of watching TED Talks in class. With this app, you can find more TED Talks on topics you love outside of class. Users can also create playlists, search by tags and even hit the "Surprise Me" tab for a random TED Talk. 2. Evernote Cost: Free Evernote, in my opinion, is the only way to take electronic notes in class. Although you should check with your professors beforehand, Evernote gives the utmost flexibility for taking notes, whether it be outline style, voice recording, or even taking photos of the whiteboard. Users can separate notebooks by class, create stacks for individual departments, colleges and perhaps majors. 3. MyHomework Student Planner Cost: Free Not into the whole highlighting things as you accomplish them in your planner? Writing everything down is tedious? Don't even own a planner? Well look no further! MyHomework Student Planner allows you to create a simple, easy-to-read homework list. Filter your homework by class, date due, priority and even add your class schedule as well. It's all digital! 4. Pinterest Cost: Free Although not generally associated with schoolwork, Pinterest can be used for both schoolwork and leisure. Start by pinning items to various boards. Board ideas can range from your school supply list, things you'd like for your birthday and if you have some extended free time, start pinning some wedding ideas! 5. Dictionary.com Dictionary & Thesaurus Cost: Free Your teacher just said a word you didn't even know existed? It's okay... we've all been there. Use this app to find meanings for words you don't understand, but also use the thesaurus portion when writing papers. Professors usually don't enjoy seeing the same adjective over and over again, so use a different descriptor. 6. Twitter Cost: Free Also not generally associated with schoolwork, Twitter can often be educational. Recently, users of Twitter find out major current events before the rest of the world does, but don't believe everything you see. Information may be false once in a while. Professors can also use class #Hashtags to share class-related content and other resources. 7. Kindle Cost: Free Kindle is a free app made by Amazon that allows you to keep all your magazines, books, newspapers and other reading materials in one location. Use this app for ebooks that are less expensive, newspaper/magazine subscriptions and more. But be sure to write down your login info! The Kindle app is cross platform so if you didn't bring your iPad to class you can access it on your iPhone. 8. Instagram Cost: Free Ok... I'll admit it, this app most likely isn't educational in any form, but we need to have some fun during the semester! Use Instagram to share photos (old and new), add filters to them and enjoy your photos of your friends. If you'd like, you can also share video up to a certain extent.
9. Hyperlapse from Instagram Cost: Free Speaking of video, did you ever want to maximize what your followers to see in those 15 seconds of video? Well here's the trick! Hyperlapse from Instagram enables you to record video and speed it up to various rates. Primarily for users with an iPhone 5, you can speed up videos as much as 12x faster! Cost: Free Everybody needs some music in their daily routine! Although there are favorite apps for music streaming such as Pandora and Songza, I recommend iHeartRadio because you can also listen to radio stations without being in your car. Mix 106.1, Radio 104.5 and Q102 are all Philadelphia stations available on there, so get to listening.

Album Review: The 1975 DAN LUNER Web Editor
"The 1975" is a self-titled debut album of The 1975. It was released in September of 2013 I discovered the band through a friend in shortly after in October. Overall the album is really well-done for a debut album with many repeatable songs. The album starts out with an eerie-opening song once again by the name of, "The 1975." It's alright though because the opening track is only 1:20 in length. After this song quickly finishes it jumps right into a steady tempo song called "The City." Vocalist Matt Healy's tenor, edgy voice fits right in hand with lyrics such as "If you wanna find love then you know where the city is." There's also a bit of techno style beats in the album with great songs like M.O.N.E.Y. and Heart Out. The album in its entirety has very catchy
songs that will keep you listening for a decent amount of time. Favorite tracks of mine include “Chocolate,” “Settle Down,” “She Way Out” and “Pressure.” Finally the album ends on a mellow song, “Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You.” This song makes the CD finish smoothly and certainly on a good note. The culmination of the entire band working together has made for a killer first album and if you listen to alternative stations like Radio 104.5, I highly recommend it. The 1975 - Deluxe Edition is on sale at Target for a mere $9.99 and includes five bonus tracks that the regular album doesn’t have. If you don’t want to pay the extra dollar, the regular CD is on sale for $8.99. @DLUNER13

Second half rally gives Eagles the win BY HOWARD BLAKE III Sports Editor
To no one’s surprise, the Philadelphia Eagles won their season opener 34-17 against the sub-par Jacksonville Jaguars. But to everyone’s surprise, the eagles didn’t dominate from start to finish despite what the score may indicate. It was a scorelessstruggle in the first half for the birds and quarterback Nick Foles played a large MCT part in it. In the first half QB Nick Foles foles looked very indecisive and wasn’t the calm, accurate decision maker that Philly fans know him to be. The third-year-quarterback had three turnovers in the first half; two of them were fumbles to go along with an interception in the red zone. The Eagles’ offensive didn’t look like the very “high-powered” that they are known for. Lesean McCoy was stagnant with 10 carries for 38 yards and the receiving corp looked non-existent with
jeremy maclin leading the way with two catches for 21 yards. The defense didn’t look much better. The secondary gave up four catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns to undrafted rookie allen hurns. Quarterback Chad Henne carved the eagles’ defensive, completing 12-17 pass attempts for 167 yards and two touchdowns. After a disappointing showing in the first half, the eagles trailed the Jaguars 17-0 at halftime. Fans voiced their displeasure with loud “boo’s” and chants for back up quarterback Marc Sanchez. The eagles found a way to turn it around in the second half and looked like the team fans were accustomed to seeing. In the third quarter the birds scored 14 unanswered points. Running back darren sproles started the third quarter rally with a 49-yard touchdown run on 4th and 1. Nick foles threw a strike down the middle to tight end zach ertz for a 25-yard touchdown. Just like that the eagles were back in the game trailing 17-14 going into the fourth quarter. Jeremy maclin eventually gave the eagles a 21-14 lead with a 67-yard touchdown catch from nick foles. After an impressive 51-yard field goal from rookie kicker Cody Parkey, Fletcher Cox recover a chad Henne
fumble and took it to the house for a touchdown. That score gave the Eagles 34 unanswered points in the second half. Nick Foles finished the game completing 27 of 45 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns to just one interception. LeSean McCoy showed some great flashes in the second half, finishing the day with 21 carries for 74 yards. Darren Sproles finished with 71 rushing yards and a touchdown. Jeremy Maclin led the way for Eagles’ receivers with four catches for 97 yards and a score. Zach Ertz also had a great day with three catches for 77 yards and a touchdown.
