‘In remembrance of Emmett Till’
ABIGAIL KEEFE / STAFF WRITER
Dr. Darryl Mace posing with his recently published book, “In Remembrance of Emmett Till BY ABIGAIL KEEFE Staff Writer Dr. Darryl Mace, associate professor and chair of history and political science at Cabrini College, takes us back to 1955 in his recently published book, “In Remembrance of Emmett Till: Regional Stories and Media Response to the Black Freedom Struggle.” The story of Emmett Till initially took place in Mississippi when racism was strong in the 1950s. Young Till was lynched at the age of 14 when two white men who too were on trial had been set free from charges in a court room with all white jurors. “What I did was an analysis of newspapers from about a hundred or a little over a hundred newspapers and magazines from across the country and looked to see the similarities and differences of the lynching and the trial of
his murder,” Mace said. The media plays a very important role in his new book. The time period in which Emmett Till was charged in court led to many different views on the case from opposing sources. “It actually really involves the media. It’s an intersection of history and media studies,” Mace said. Mace’s publishing process was altogether successful. He accomplished his goal of being published by a university press as he had hoped. “You send out proposals to different presses and I was really pushing for it to be published by the university press so I sent it to several university presses and the university press of Kentucky picked it up,” said Mace. Although there was a specific date for Mace’s book to be published, it came out a little earlier
than expected. This worked to Mace’s advantage with many current opportunities for interviews and events. “The official release date was supposed to be July 11, 2014 but copies were floating around previously so it was really the end of June that it came out,” Mace said. Mace is also currently researching and working on his next book. He hopes to have his second book published within the next three years. “I am actually working on an analysis of the integration of Girard College, which is a school in Philadelphia originally for fatherless boys and they since integrated it by sex and also integrated it by race but it was a huge fight because Stephen Girard, the founder of the college, in his will said that it had to be for all white boys so it was a huge battle,” Mace said. Mace has proposals for more interviews as well as speaking engagements in libraries and other public areas in the near future about his newly released book. He plans to keep the memory of Emmett Till’s life and story alive. “It is a book about Emmett Till and how we remember things so it’s not a getting at one truth that lynching indicates,” Mace said. “It’s a really important event about looking at how people remember Emmett Till.” @ABBIEROSEKEEFE
Big change made to study abroad program BY ERICA ABBOTT News Editor A big change has recently started in the study abroad program. Effective this semester, the financial aspect of the program is making studying abroad more accessible and affordable to students. The financial aid policy was completely revised prior to this semester. “Students were not permitted to use any of their Cabrini scholarships and grants towards study abroad,” associate professor of romance languages and study abroad coordinator, Dr. Nick Uliano said. “Now a limited number of students each semester may receive half of their Cabrini aid and scholarship money to apply towards their tuition abroad, which makes a big difference in affordability for many of our students.” The financial changes will also have an effect upon the affiliate schools in England, Australia and Italy. Prior to this year, students studying at those schools had to pay Cabrini’s tuition, despite studying at those institutions. “Now students who study at those institutions will actually be paying their tuition, which in every case is less expensive than ours,” Uliano said. “It’s a double win-win for the students.” Three different types are semester-long programs, summer programs and short-term study abroad. “We have students right now
on “Semester at Sea” who have benefited from the new policy,” Uliano said. St. Mary’s University, located in Twickenham, London, England will now cost students $8,365 in tuition and $5,522 in housing. At The American University of Rome, Italy tuition will now be $10,308 for housing $5,223, while The University of Notre Dame Australia cost to students will be $13,043 in tuition and $3,882 in housing. The tuition costs at each respective university do not include the Cabrini financial aid assistance that is now available. All-inclusive trips include Semester at Sea ($23,950) and the six-week program at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland ($5,995). These changes did not have anything to do, however, with Cabrini’s drop in tuition last year or the International Studies and Foreign Language grant that was also received last year. The purpose of the grant was to create new study abroad short-term courses. This newly implemented change comes from committed funding from the college. “The college is deeply invested in making global opportunities available for our students,” Uliano said. “Students who may not have previously been able to afford a semester abroad can now find the price much more within their reach.” CONTINUE READING ONLINE @ERICA_ABBOTT

The right to throw a punch Children look up to their parents, family members or someone they are living with for guidance, love, help, trust and compassion. When there are some of those key elements missing, that’s when the real problems begin. According to DomesticViolence.org, “Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually.” Adrian Peterson, a six-time Pro Bowl selection, has rushed for 10,190 yards and scored 86 touchdowns in eight seasons and a twotime National Football League (NFL) rushing champion. Over the weekend Peterson was arrested on charges of child abuse and then released on bail. In May, Peterson was accused of beating his four-year-old son with a tree branch causing cuts and bruises in several areas on the boy’s body, including his back, ankles and legs. Peterson told the police that the punishment was a “whooping” administered after the boy pushed another of Peterson’s children. According to DomesticViolence.org, men who as children witnessed their parents’ domestic violence were twice as likely to abuse their own wives. And nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if
presented with a breakup. We don’t know the circumstances of Peterson’s childhood, but we do know that experiencing violence increases the likelihood of violence in the next generation. According to DomesticViolence.org, “Domestic violence victims lose nearly 8 million days of paid work per year in the US alone— the equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs.”

In our society today it is unacceptable for a male to hit a female, though is still just as wrong for a female to hit a male. It should not matter whether it was a male or a female, it should matter that it happened regardless. Ray Rice is currently the epitome of female vs. male altercations. Rice a man we all know from the news because he physically hit his fiancée, Janay Palmer, so hard in the face that she laid unconscious. In the video that just a week ago surfaced, it shows her coming towards Rice, then hitting him and almost instantaneously Rice hit
her back, causing her to fall to the ground in an elevator in February earlier this year. At no point does he seem concerned, worried or slightly disgusted by what he did and now, only seven months after the incident, Janay Palmer and Ray Rice are married. According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “more than 1 in 3 women (35.6%)… in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.” Palmer may disagree that Rice’s actions went too far or were inappropriate, but since the video has been released, all of America seems to be enraged with his actions. He absolutely should have been expelled from the NFL as soon as they found out about it because this was not just his first offense, in fact, it was his third. But that doesn’t mean to say that all athletes abuse their wives, fiancés, girlfriends or children, the media is doing a really great job of making examples out of Rice and Peterson. In both cases, it is obviously despicable what transpired and unless your life is being threatened, violence is never the answer.

Ebola: Sept. 16, 2014
On Wednesday, Sept. 10, President Obama spoke to the nation from the State Floor of the White House. This speech authorized a major expansion of the military campaign against rampaging Sunni militants in the Middle East, including American airstrikes in Syria and the deployment of 475 more military troops and advisers to Iraq. According to New York Times, Mr. Obama said the United States was recruiting a global coalition to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the militants, known as the Islamic State in Iraq (ISIS) and Syria. He warned that “eradicating a cancer” like ISIS was a long-term challenge that needs to be addressed. Health Care: Sept. 16, 2014 A survey found that 13.1 percent of Americans lacked health insurance at the time of their interview with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this year. In 1997, when the CDC started surveying on this issue, 15.4 percent of those surveyed said they did not have coverage. According to Vox.com, this is a direct reflection of Obamacare. “The CDC saw a 1.3 percentage point drop drop in the uninsured rate between 2013 and 2014. The uninsured rate for kids has fallen from 13.9 percent in 1997 to 6.6 percent today, a huge decline that pretty much all traces back to the CHIP program expanding coverage.”
Mr. Obama is offering help to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia in the construction of as many as 17 Ebola treatment centers in the region, with about 1,700 treatment beds. The Department of Defense and in Monrovia, Liberia are contemplating opening a joint operation to coordinate the international effort to combat the disease. The military will also provide enMCT gineers to help construct the additional treatment facilities President Barack Obama and will send enough people arrives on Air Force One at to train up to 500 health care Hartsfield-Jackson Internationworkers a week to deal with al Airport to visit the Centers for the crisis. Disease Control and Prevention Bruce Aylward, an assistant . director general of the World Health Organization, said Tuesday, the number of reported cases had climbed to 4,985, including 2,461 deaths and an estimate the cost of this effort is at $1 billion.

Meet Cabrini’s newest faculty and staff Shakeyia Kersey
Dr. Joseph R. Fitzgerald
TYRON DAVIS/ STAFF WRITER
BY TYRON DAVIS Staff Writer The Cabrini community welcomes Dr. Joseph R. Fitzgerald as a new faculty member on campus. Fitzgerald looks forward to helping uphold Cabrini’s mission by preparing students to “become engaged citizens of the world.”
Fitzgerald is an assistant professor in the history and political science department. Before Fitzgerald’s career at Cabrini College, he worked as an exam producer. Fitzgerald is no amateur to the college life as he has experience as a teaching assistant at Temple University. Fitz also taught history and black studies at a local community college. Fitzgerald has nine years of experience in higher education and he will be teaching classes such as Black Studies and History courses here at Cabrini. He has a strong background in the studies of the African-American culture. Planning to educate all of those looking to learn about the history and modern culture of the African American society, he strongly encourages all to take his classes.

for our fellow students and staff members,”Kersey said. One of the main reasons that Shakeyia joined the Cabrini family was because she saw the opportunities to work her way up and create her own foundation. Prior to working for Cabrini, Kersey worked for a non-profit organization called The Philadelphia Youth Network. Even though she has enjoyed her time working for the organization she believes that she had a calling to be in higher education. Although Shakeyia has only been at Cabrini for three months she does enjoy her time here and would like to remain in the future. @ANESIAMEREDITH

She is studying to get her masters in non-profit leadership. Stauffer first heard about the position from her father who is an electrician on campus. A big reason why Stauffer took the position was her interest in working with the disability population. When asked what she likes most about her position “I really like the people I work with. I felt comfortable here since the beginning.” It was these qualities of Cabrini that Stauffer stated she has not “always experienced in previous jobs.” @KEVINMOYLETT

Prior to Cabrini, Miscavage taught at Springford High School as a fulltime teacher in a learning support classroom. She was an adjunct at Cabrini for four
years working in the education department with student teachers. After teaching in elementary and high school, she figured Cabrini would be the next step.

She first heard of Cabrini as a teacher’s assistant in a third and fourth grade learning support classroom. The head teacher of the class obtained her master’s degree from Cabrini. She discussed with Miscavage about finishing up with a master’s de-
gree in special education as well. Miscavage gave it a shot. While studying at Cabrini, Miscavage fell in love with the campus and the teachers who motivated and helped spark an interest. “I came from Kutztown where I was a number, not a name. Cabrini made me feel like a name.” When Cabrini had a job opening, Miscavage jumped on the opportunity and applied. “I Always thought this would be a really nice place to work.” @DELEONFLOYD1315

Dr. Barenbaum measures the happiness of children in Swaziland BY LAUREN HIGHT Multimedia Editor Cabrini College has formed lasting relationships with the Cabrini Mission in Swaziland and is making continuous contributions that affect the residents of the kingdom. Dr. Edna Barenbaum, associate professor of psychology, has been conducting a study in Swaziland for the past two years on the mental well-being of children. Recently, Barenbaum presented the information she has gathered at an international conference in Melbourne, Australia. The children she has been working with are not living in an ordinary situation, however. According to avert.org, HIV/AIDS is an epidemic that infects roughly 2.5 million people across the world per year and approximately 70 percent of that number can be found in the sub-Saharan portion of Africa. Swaziland is located in southern Africa and has been noted to being the most populated HIV area in the entire world. Statistics show that one in four adults that reside in the land-locked country has contracted with the disease and it has taken a toll on the physical and mental health of its residents. The physical effects of AIDS tends to get more attention than the emotional and social impact, and that is something that Barenbaum wants to make a change in. “I have been looking at the psychosocial well-being of children in Africa whose parents or caretakers have been affected by AIDS. About 70 percent of children [in Swaziland] are parentless due to this disease and that is a very high number. Barenbaum said, “AIDS has been addressed medically and they’re solving that problem so that people can live but they’re not looking at the social and emotional impact it is having on people.”
Since 2012, Barenbaum has been making trips to the Cabrini Ministry’s mission in Swaziland on behalf of a partnership formed by former Cabrini president, Dr. Marie George. In conjunction with the mission, Cabrini College and Cabrini Australia, she along with a few other selected individuals have been conducting a study within the Cabrini organization to learn about the happiness of children affected by AIDS. Their psychological and faithbased backgrounds have guided them to the point they are at today but the data has been collected thanks to a happiness scale that Barenbaum created. “I have a lot of experience developing standardized tests...so while I was in Swaziland I interviewed children who were living on homesteads and on the mission,” Barenbaum said. “I asked them what happiness was to them and from their answers was able to develop the scale.” The system that she created is custom to the children of Swaziland. There have been very few studies done on the relationship between AIDS and emotional well-being and Barenbaum stated that they have been done in China, the United States and Africa. The difficulty with this is that there is not much data to go off of because the populations are so different, and so it is very difficult to compare the results. The children that she has been analyzing are six to 21 years old and are either among the 175 children on the Cabrini mission or the 400 in a homestead setting. In addition to interviewing children to create her scale, Barenbaum also spoke to caretakers about the same topic. She was intrigued to see if their perception of a child’s happiness level was the same as the child perceived it to be or if they had noticed different behavior patterns. “The children in the mission reported to have less depression than the children in
the homesteads,” Barenbaum said. The work that she has been doing has been considered to be ground-breaking and she presented her study and results thus far at the 20th International AIDS conference. “I was one of 15,000 delegates at the conference and it lasted from from July 22 through July 26. I presented with the Cabrini Mission and Cabrini Australia, which was very exciting,” Barenbaum said. “I also attended the Interfaith Pre-Conference with the Missionary Sisters from Swaziland and Start Early Start Now [which focused on the early stages of childhood and how HIV can play a role in it] before the international conference began.” Barenbaum got the chance to network with many people in her field and share information that she has been so passionate about developing. While AIDS 2014 brought her great insight of what is being done to conquer this disease, tragedy dampened the mood when Malaysian Airlines flight 17 was shot down. Although the actual number is unknown, CNN and The Guardian reported that “a number of” the people aboard that
flight were delegates for AIDS 2014 and were on their way to present at the conference. “It was very sad but Melbourne did a fantastic job. They had a candlelight vigil for the Malaysian flight and they flew their flags at half mast,’ Barenbaum said. “They really did a lot in respect for those individuals.” The time spent in Swaziland and Australia made an impact on Barenbaum and it has ignited her passion to helping children affected by AIDS. She is currently back in Swaziland and while there is no set completion date for her study, she is excited to once again share the information she gathered. “We’re taking each step as we go and have evidence that progress is being made [improving the happiness levels of children],” Barenbaum said. “My focus has been impacted and we are ready to come together to solve the problems that AIDS has placed upon children.” @HIGHTLAUREN

Binge -watching Netflix is the new craze
BY HELEN MASCHMEYER Staff Writer
Netflix craze. Previously having her own TV show on the E! Network, Chelsea Handler decided to think outside the box and move to the popular platform. She is the first person to have her own talk show on Netflix, but definitely not the last to make the transition. Netflix appeals to many different crowds because it offers a wide variety of entertainment. When I tune into Netflix, I could end up watching anything from a riveting documentary to a mindless cartoon. The options are endless. Netflix also gives me a chance to explore TVshows I would normally never have time to watch with a busy schedule. Adding new entertainment daily, Netflix is here to stay.
The netflix app makes watching favorite movies and shows even more convenient.
@MASCHMEYERHELEN
Whether you’re staying up to binge- watch every single episode of “How I Met Your Mother” or watching all the classic Disney movies, Netflix is your best friend. Starting out in 1997 as a flat-rate DVD subscription, Netflix has been on the rise ever since. Netflix changed over to the world of the Internet in 1999. Offering a $7.99-a-month subscription, people started to grasp onto the Netflix concept and have been loyal customers ever since. Technology has advanced in the past years causing Netflix to take advantage and expand their company to another level. Although there are other online entertainment subscriptions on the market, Netflix reigns as number one. Not only can you get it on your smart TV, you can also download it as an app on your phone. The digital subscription is quickly becoming a trend with college students due to the convenience of the app and those low-budget college wallets. Nowadays, a Comcast starter subscription starts at $49.99 per month and can escalate up to $69.99 depending on the amount of channels you add. For a busy college student who doesn’t have time to watch all the TV in the world, Netflix seems like a better alternative. Another attraction is the mere fact that there are full seasons of TV shows on Netflix. There is no need to wait a full week for the next episode. Even late-night talk shows have started to move to the

BY JOE PACIFICO Staff Writer
In the beginning of the twenty-first century, college students around the country had limited resources for keeping up to date with news and current events. During this particular time period, it was common for most students to take in their daily dose of news through popular forms of media such as traditional newspapers and magazines. 14 years later, modern college students now live in a digital age where there are more resources available for students to keep up with the happenings of the world. Surveyed Cabrini College students have indicated that they do not stay up-to-date with current events as much as they think that they should. Most students admitted that they are not entirely sure about this week’s current events. Moreover, there is no real surprise that the majority of college students do not tune into major news programs like ABC’s “World News Tonight.” Even though this television program is credited towards educating the public on world issues, it is not necessarily a presentation that is appealing to college-aged students. In light of the fact that we are now in a digital age, many students indicated that they would prefer to acquire news and information via the Internet. Undergraduates who

A solution to this problem would be for networks like ABC to better interact with students through methods of communication that are more modern and interactive. In other words, students might be more interested in watching the news if major network anchors had a bigger presence on social media websites. Additionally, these programs should also take into consideration that college students might not be interested in their programing due to the complex nature that news is reported on these television broadcasts. Therefore, major networks could see an increase in viewership if they reported the news in a way that could easily be comprehended by college students. Overall, most students do not watch the news simply because that they find it to be rather uninteresting. Now, I realize that some people might say that this is not a very important issue. However, without implementing any
changes to how news is reported most students would not be aware of important world events. World news programs need to come to the realization that students want to be presented news in a brief and simple manner. Ultimately, the best way for news networks to reach students is by keeping pace with the current trends of the Internet. @JOSEPHPACIFICO1

“Suitcase school”—Why Cabrini is a ghost town on the weekends

The college that I chose to start my future career at is identified as a “suitcase school.” Coming into Cabrini College, I realized it was no Penn State, yet while shadowing the school as a senior in high school, it gave me the feeling of home that no other college or university gave me. Yes, Cabrini College is a very small, private college and with that comes a lot of positive and negative aspects that I have learned throughout my three years here. I believe every freshmen should be aware of a few things about Cabrini before fully committing to being a future Cavalier. Going into my freshman year, I had many fears that most people have. I was scared about going off to college and not living at home. Fears about not being smart enough for the courses I was assigned, whether I’d like my rommates, making friends, being
able to handle the party scene, dealing with older college boys, having sex, covering costs and just being safe in general. Starting as a freshman at Cabrini I felt very welcomed by the students and the teachers. I lived on campus my freshman year, just like most students do. Transitioning from having my own master bedroom to sharing a small dorm with two others was very drastic. The dorm life sucks don’t get me wrong, but freshman should not base their decision of leaving just on dorm life. I ended up going home every weekend because the night life at Cabrini bored me. However, looking back now, it was because I never took the time to meet Cabrini kids and give myself a chance to go out with them. I just assumed it would not have been fun because the parties at home and the parties here were completely different. If you are living on campus at Cabrini, you are always offered a meal plan. As a freshman I was very careful with my eating habits because I did not want to gain the freshman 15. Cabrini’s buffet-style cafeteria offers healthy options and varied dining. Jazzman’s Café offers bistro-style meals including fresh-baked goods, salads, sandwiches, soups and coffee. We also have vending machines with healthy snack options and local off-campus res-
taurants. As a freshman, it was very hard to get off campus due to the fact that we cannot have cars on campus, which I believe is one of the main reasons why students end up leaving after their first year My sophomore year I still lived on campus, but I signed up to live in one of the houses since they looked so great on Cabrini’s website and I was not a major fan of the dorms. I was very happy with the amount of spaceI was offered and the fact

road from Cabrini, and that has been the best decision of my life. As the years went on at Cabrini, I was able to get past to dorm life and have more freedom handed to me. I learned how to appreciate it more and understood why I chose this school. It is a great school. Yes, it is very small, which is why most students leave after their freshman year or on the weekends, because it does not have the types of frats or sororities that they are looking for. Cabrini is not known for the best parties because of the amount of students here but it gives you more one-on-one help with the professors. You are not known as just a number at Cabrini. The professors value relations with their students. Once you are familiar with the area, gain more freedom, get involved on campus and find your group of friends, you are sure to love it.

that there was acess to a kitchen in the house. I appreciated my sophomore year at Cabrini a lot more than my freshman year due to the fact that I had better living space and was able to get around on my own without having to wait for the Cabrini shuttle that is based on a time schedule.

Breaking down ballet barriers—Misty Copeland
BY JESSICA PARADYSZ Perspectives Editor
Tutus, shiny satin shoes, grace and elegance are synonymous with ballet. Ballerinas are seen as lithe dolls that can make a string of pirouettes look effortless. Misty Copeland, American Ballet Theatre dancer, challenges the status quo with her new ad for Under Armour. Copeland spins on the screen donning the sleek Under Armour clothing instead of a flowing tutu. The video opens with Copeland raising her legs in sous-sus, balancing her weight on pointe shoes. Her legs are incredibly muscular and strong. In the background her voice rings through the stage, reciting a rejection letter. “You have the wrong body for ballet.” The harsh statement is juxtaposed by Copeland performing amazing feats; leaping high in the air, legs extended, spinning in a succession of turns and raising her legs. Copeland is an established soloist ballerina, despite being rejected originally and starting classes at age 13. Ballet is much like the fashion world or the silver screen, there is immense pressure placed on girls to be beautiful and to fit a strict mold. The industries are sparkling and glamorous on the surface yet there is
discrimination, hard work and exhaustion behind the scenes. Behind the scenes, dancers are pushed to the limits, working tirelessly and dancing in their delicate pointe shoes until their feet are raw and bleeding-not exactly the picture of ballet that many see in the “Nutcracker.” Onstage, everything seems picture-perfect. I was not a little ballerina tottering on the stage at 2-years old. I started at age 10 and was excited to break in my first pointe shoes years later. Although my level of dance experience at local studio could never rival the ABT, I know the pain of adapting to new shoes. I know the sadness of the once bright pink shoes becoming dull. I know the feeling of forcing a tight smile, floating across the floor in bourrée when your feet are tired and you just want to fall on the floor and take a nap. My last pointe dance was to an aching classical ballet song. Dressed in a sequined gold outfit, I smiled with redpink lips at every turn. Inside, I was secretly grateful for not falling on the bright wooden stage in front of everyone. Copeland is an inspiration for dancers and girls around the country. She defied odds and challenges, followed her passions, and never took “no” for an answer. Under Armour’s, “I Will What I Want Campaign,” is a powerful message for women everywhere. Copeland is also author. She released her book, “Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina” in March 2014. Copeland is the third African-American soloist in the history of the prestigious ABT. In history ballet originated as an outlet for the aristocracy. Ballet is much more open
to anyone who wants to dance. Yet barriers still need to be broken, both culturally and financially. Also girls need to be inspired to dance and stop being told that they may not measure up. Anything is possible. Cabrini offers fine arts dance classes in classical ballet and modern for those interested in attending upbeat classes and learning techniques. The Cabrini Dance Team and Cavalier Dance Company are also outlets for dancers. For those who still think that ballet is not athletic, watch Copeland’s commercial. In fact, ballet is even more of an art as dancers must perform strenuous routines while keeping a smile and air of grace-now that’s a sport. ALL PHOTOS

'The Giver': A classic turned into a film BY KATIE MUSKA Staff Writer
Put away your history books, because in Philip Noyce’s adaptation of Lois Lowry’s classic “The Giver,” history is forbidden. In a world where no one knows of color, animals, weather, conflict, pain or even love, there is one who knows of all that was before Sameness: The Giver (Jeff Bridges). The movie follows Jonas "Maleficent”’s Brenton Thwaites, who is no different from any of the other citizens of this ignorant world. However, everything changes when he graduates into adulthood and is given the job of the Receiver of Memories. All the memories of the past are handed down to him—quite literally, as the mode of transit for these memories are through a touch of the hands—from The Giver. The more memories Jonas receives, the more his understanding of the wrongness done by the Elders grows. He slowly realizes what The Giver realized long ago: Something needs to change. As Jonas continues his receiving throughout the movie—which starts out in grey scale—we slowly see the color fade in through his eyes. This is a beautiful portrayal of what is described in Lowry’s book. Whenever the Chief Elder, Meryl Streep, steps onscreen, the color quickly disappears and switches back to grey scale, symbolizing the dark power she has over this world. This use of color was a brilliant way to bring this classic children’s book to life. As in any role he is given, Bridges does a fantastic job playing a seemingly rough yet loveable mentor. Streep took on the “bad guy” role with poise and gave the audience just the right performance to show a character that was not necessarily bad, just antagonistic. Although Thwaites would fit the notion that all you need for a good male lead these days MCT is a teenage heart-throb, he did a good job Oscar-winning Meryl Streep, who portraying the innocent, unknowing young played the Chief Elder in 'The Giver.” man finding his way in a world of missing
pieces. If you’re planning on discussing this movie with a die-hard fan of the book, be prepared to hear complaints of all that wasn’t explained or adapted into the movie. However, the cast and scenery and story fit very well together as a movie standing alone and will certainly make a nice family Friday movie night in the near future. @KATIEAMUSKA

Queen B helps to give Cabrini an ‘upgrade’ BY LILLIAN HURLEY Staff Writer
Cabrini College has received a very prestigious honor. No, it has nothing to do with academics but something even better, Beyoncé. Thanks to the dance team, Cabrini College has been place on the list of The Most Beyoncé Colleges. According to the website, ''Her Campus,'' Cabrini was listed as the sixth most Beyoncé College in the nation. Last year the dance team’s routine was all Beyoncé. Only Beyonce songs like Upgrade U, Single Ladies and Get Me Bodied were used for the routine. They even used some choreography from Beyonce's music videos. Other colleges that made it on the list are much larger in comparison to Cabrini such as the University of Houston, New York University and Columbia
University to name a few. So now the question is how Cabrini College got spotted for its Beyoncé style. Dylan Takats, a junior marketing major, who is also a part of the dance team has no idea how all of this came about. According to Takats, “Our coach was the first one to tell us about making the list. We all have no idea how they found out about our Beyoncé routine.” But having all of this being a surprise just made the dance team even more excited about the honor. “It is really cool because Cabrini doesn’t get a lot of recognition but they got noticed and it is all because of the dance team,” Takats said. After getting the sixth spot on The Most Beyoncé Campus list the community service the dance team does is pointed out. Helping out with Special Olympic events
and teaching dance are just some of what the dance team has done. Doing community service is something that the dance team has fun doing. Last year they did more than the required amount for a club on campus. These good deeds are what makes the dance team a reflection of Beyoncé’s image. “Beyoncé is a nice person at heart; she is really down to earth so we try to stay down to earth,” Takas said. The dance team is already making sure the Beyoncé spirit is alive and well while they are practicing in the dance studio. Each member of the dance teams has a practice shirt with a Beyoncé song quote on it. In regards to living up to their honor, Takats said, “ We will definitely continuing it, believe me. @LILLIANMHURLEY

Urban outfitters: accident or publicity stunt? ALEXA FERRAGINE Lifestyles Editor
Urban outfitters has yet again decided to make waves in the fashion world. However these waves are not good ones. Reports from The Washington post have released that the popular clothing store started selling a sweatshirt with bloodstains on it and had Kent State University printed on it for $129.00. Kent State University had suffered a shooting in May 1970. Kent State University released a statement on Kent.edu expressing how much offense they take that urban outfitters is making profit from such terrible incident. The website goes on to say that the sweatshirt is bad taste and hurts the Kent State community. The item has since been taken off the shelves and has been “sold out” online. Since the controversial sweatshirt came out Urban Outfitters has apologized saying to the Washington post saying that it was a discoloration mistake and since then have apologized. Before the item was “sold out” on the Urban Outfitters website the description under the sweatshirt reads “Washed soft and perfectly broken in, this vintage Kent State sweatshirt is cut in a loose slouchy fit. Excellent vintage condition. We only have one, so get it or regret it!” Since the item has been taken down people are wondering, was this intentional? Urban Outfitters has apologized since and said it was an accident but others see it
differently. "It was highly offensive and I believe it was totally intentional. They have done something like this before with their "eat less" t-shirt and they are doing the same thing again with this sweatshirt. It is all a publicity stunt and a highly un tasteful one at that." said Victoria Sahina, senior educational studies major. Urban Outfitters is claiming that the holes that are seen where it seems to have bloodstains on the sweatshirt are from natural wear and fray. Since there was only one available sweatshirt the buyer of it has since put it on eBay. However, since the posting of the sweatshirt according to Bloomsburg. com eBay has taken the listing off of their website. The seller posted the sweatshirt for $2,500 and pledged to give 50 percent to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Wagner's trip to Vegas provides transferable skills for campus leadership as well as life DAN LUNER Web Editor
When it comes to the idea of leadership for Bridget Wagner, junior business administration major, it's not just an attribute you put on a resume. To her, it's much more than that. "Leadership is definitely an important aspect of my family and I've always wanted to know what it takes to be a leader," Wagner said. And Wagner took the next step in following the family formation by attending the Rapport Leadership Breakthrough this past summer. The conference took place from July 25-27 in Las Vegas, Nev. and focused on a variety of team-building activities that aid in becoming successful leader. Wagner discovered the conference through her father, who had attended in prior years. "I wanted to go because my dad would always return from their courses and talk about how they changed his life." To attend the Rapport Leadership courses, one must be nominated by a previous attendee and without a doubt Wagner's father nominated her as well as her cousin. Exercises at the conference were used to build teamwork, support, self confidence and self awareness and when asked if
they were effective, Wagner said, "Definitely! From going to this conference, I learned so much about myself as well as others." Serving as the director of special events for the Campus Activities and Programming Board, Wagner learned a lot at the conference that she can apply to the job. "This year, I plan to support my team members by helping them with whatever is needed to get a task done," Wagner said. She continued, "In Las Vegas I also realized that the other members of CAP Board are here to help me and support me with whatever may happen this year." In the future, the Wagner family's leadership will expand as her mother and younger brothers plan on attending within the next few years. But focusing on the present, the skills learned at the conference don't conclude with her term on CAP Board. Wagner concluded, "Leadership comes in different shapes and forms, but ultimately I learned at the conference that it starts with myself." @DLUNER13

Women’s soccer falls short BY FRANCIS CORNELY Staff Writer
On Saturday Sept. 13 the woman’s soccer team fell short to Arcadia University 1-0 at Edith Robb Dixon Field. This marks the Cavaliers’ third consecutive loss and puts them at 1-4 on the season. In the opening half, both teams were without a goal, however, Arcadia won the shot statistical battle with six shots. The Blue and White fired four shots of their own. After a scoreless first half, the first goal of the game came in the 69th minute when Jackie Glanfield assisted senior Kim Canfield, giving Arcadia a 1-0 advantage. Then Cavaliers had to play catch-up in the second half but couldn’t score before the final buzzer. Juniors Megan Martin and Dana Peterson led the Cavs with four shots each while Martin had two shots on goal during the match. Freshman goalkeeper Alivia Dietsch had four saves on the day (three of which occurred during the first half of play.) Martin expressed her feelings about Saturday’s loss. “We out -hustled them the majority of the
time and I personally believe that we wanted it more,” Martin said. “The time that this game was most frustrating was the last 10 minutes of the game when we had so many opportunities but just couldn’t score,” Martin said. With the loss to Arcadia, the Cavs are optimistic and looking forward to redemption. “We have a great team with so much potential. We are going to keep working hard and use this loss as a learning experience to better us in the long run,” Martin said.

Papelbon gesture blemishes series for Phils BY HOWARD BLAKE III Sports Editor
On Friday Sept. 12 the Phillies took on their division rival, the Miami Marlins in the first of a three game series. The first run of the game didn’t come until the sixth inning. Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria hit an RBI single on a line drive allowing backup first baseman Jeff Baker to score, giving the Marlins the first run of the game. The Phils quickly answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the sixth. Marlin’s pitcher Henderson Alvarez hit Phillies right fielder Marion Byrd with a wild pitch causing second basemen Chase Utley to score. All tied going into the seventh inning, neither team managed to score any runs by the ninth, which led to an extra inning. Phillies relief pitcher
Jake Diekman struck out his first batter, left fielder Christian Yelich. The Phils defense managed to get two straight outs keeping the game at a 1-1 tie heading to the bottom of the 10th. After a ground out from Phillies back up first baseman Maikel Franco and a single from center fielder Ben Revere. Then third baseman Cody Asche stepped up

to the plate. In his first start being the Phils number-two-hitter in the line up, Asche hit a walk-off homerun sending the stadium into an uproar. The Phillies continued their success in their second
game of their three game homestead defeating the visiting Marlins 2-1. However their last matchup resulted in a 5-4 loss after heading to the ninth inning with a 4-1 lead. The fans weren’t too pleased with relief pitcher Jonathan Papelbon for giving up four runs in the ninth inning, as boos filled the stadium. Papelbon, allegedly frustrated by his performance and fan reaction, performed a gesture in which he grabbed his crotch area to the sea of booing fans. He was then ejected from the game from second base umpire Joe West. Papelbon was unhappy with the ejection and stormed onto the field harassing West about the decision he made to eject him. Papelbon in a postgame interview, according to USA Today’s Jason Wolf, denied the claim that he made the gesture to insult the fans. “[West] basically came
over and said I that did an inappropriate gesture and I had no clue what he was talking about,” Papelbon said. “That is when I got upset. I had no idea what he was talking about. I had no explanation. I was still obviously pretty heated from what had just transpired. Me and Joe, we go way back. We
don’t see eye to eye a lot of times,” Papelbon said. Papelbon has been suspended for seven games and fined an undisclosed amount by the MLB. The Phillies organization is backing the decision, making that very clear in a statement they issued out. Papelbon’s suspension started Sept. 15 during the Phillies 1-0 loss to the Padres. After the Padres series the Phillies look to take on the Oakland Athletics in a three game series on Friday Sept. 19 at 9:35 p.m. @HOWARDBLAKE_III

Prior to coaching at Cabrini, as do his players. “We have a good nucleus of talent returning, even though we only have five returning players. One of them is Division III National Player of the year, Aaron Walton-Moss and second leading scorer, Vinny Walls,” McDonald said. The Cavs face a tough-out-of conference schedule, according to AMY HELD / PHOTO EDITOR McDonald. “Our goal is to win the Head coach Tim McDonald in new conference championship office in Dixon.
and go as deep into the NCAA tournament as possible. Lots of that depends on the draw; some of that is luck as well,” McDonald said. “I think Tim McDonald is going to come in and do a great job. I think he is more than ready for the season,” Senior WaltonMoss said. The key to success this season will be in the leadership of players like Aaron Walton-Moss, Vinny Walls, and sophomore forward Deryl Bagwell to step up his game. “We are not a very big team, but we are athletic. We need to control the tempo of the game,” McDonald said. In addition, the freshman recruiting class has some real potential for contributing to the program. McDonald considers himself to be an offensive coach. McDonald said, “With our team, obviously offense is the way to go.

feels that there are many NBA and college coaches to look up to and if he had to choose a player that was an inspiration to him that would have to be Michael Jordan. Coach McDonald has a favorite quote that was written by former UCLA basketball Coach John Wooden. “Talent is God
given, be humble. Fame is man given, be grateful. Conceit is self given, be careful,” Wooden said. When asked what is the most rewarding part of coaching basketball, McDonald said, “the chance to recruit players out of high school and when they get to college, watching them grow from young men into adults and being able to work with them on and off the court.” As a basketball McDonald in a college setting there must be many stories and memorable moments to share. Coach said, “Since I’ve been at Cabrini, my most memorable moment with the team would have to be in 2012 when we made it to the Final Four with a buzzer beater to get us to the National Championship. It was a moment I will never forget.” @AMY_HELD93

important thing. It’s important for this team to play hard, bring what they’ve got and just have fun,” Parker said. For Parker, finding out that he would be named a coach at Cabrini was an exciting experience. He would be able to do his two favorite things: play tennis and teach students about the game that he loves. “To me, this isn’t really a job. I really enjoy coming here. This whole situation is great. I get a chance to teach, and to be,
I hope, some sort of role model. I get a chance to be passionate about a sport that I love and teach it to others,” Parker said. Parker is more than just a tennis coach. He is an individual who is passionate about life and living it to the fullest. Parker teaches his team the importance of living in the moment. As humans, it is normal for us to be so focused on the end result of life that we might miss what is going on right before our very eyes. Parker said that he sat down with his team and explained this mentality to them. “You blink and this season is going to be over,” Parker said. “You won’t get a chance to get it back so start playing now. What are you waiting for?” Parker’s mentality as a coach is something that is going to make this team and season so unique. He embodies Cabrini and exemplifies what the college is all about. The girls are currently 3-0 and hope to continue the success for their season within the next few weeks.

Women’s tennis downs Marywood University
BY PAT WHALEN Staff Writer
The Cabrini women’s tennis team improved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in their conference after defeating the Marywood Pacers. Before coming into their match on Friday, Sept. 12, 2014 the Blue and White beat Marywood, which they haven’t done in a regular season since 2010. The Cavs had great success in doubles play as they took two of the three matches. Sophomore Elena Conway and senior Samantha Trumbo earned an 8-2 victory improving them to 3-2 on the year. Not only did the Cavaliers strive in doubles play but in singles play as well. The Blue and White took five of six in singles play while Trumbo continued her success winning her number two singles match 6-2, 6-4. “We are a deep team without any real superstars. We played very well across the lineup and had 2 matches where we

reached way down, problem solved, and gritted out 2 important wins. I have no negatives to dwell on,” Stephen Park, head women’s tennis coach, said. Although he was very thrilled with the result and the play the Cavaliers gave, he said there is always room for improvement. “As a team we are focusing and practicing every single day to become more aggressive playing balls in the midcourt. That involves taking short balls and volleying better, hitting overheads and shortening points,” Coach Stephen Park said. “We want to dictate tempo in the match. I am excited about the rest of the season. It’s a cliché, but we strive to play each point, one at a time and not get hung up looking ahead.” The Cabrini Cavaliers will move out of CSAC play on Monday when they host Alvernia University. The match is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Dixon Courts. @PATRICKWHALEN12

Cabrini does night at the Phillies right BY HOWARD BLAKE III & JASON WILLIAMS Sports Editors
“Cabrini Night at the Phillies” was certainly a night to remember as over 400 Cabrini students and alumni filled Citizens Bank Park. The Cavaliers school spirit was definitely represented throughout the stadium. There was nothing but a sea of red Cabrini Phillies t-shirts that clothed the students along with complemintary Cabrini knit hats that were given out to every fan throughout the stadium. As soon as the gates opened, Cabrini’s very own cheerleading squad along with the Cabrini Cavalier greeted Phillies fans. Fans posed for pictures creating memories that Cabrini students will have for years to come. Before both the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies took the field, senior communication major Se’Quia Bailey sang the national anthem. “I was so nervous,” Bailey said. “I didn’t want to fall or do anything ridiculous to embarrass myself.” “There were so many staff and faculty, family and friends cheering me on and I did not want to disappoint them because I was representing the school in a way.” Bailey was a crowd favorite, bringing in cheers from the stadium and had some Phillies players nodding to each other in approval while giving Bailey a genuine applause. “At one point I thought I might cry because it was unreal,” Bailey said. “The cheer from the crowd really made me reflect on how great God is. This entire opportunity was just a blessing and I can’t say thank you enough,” Bailey said Shortly after the anthem, Luke Snyder represented Cabrini after his dad won an auction making him able to throw the first pitch. President Don Taylor then presented two high school students with the Phillies
Extraordinary Scholar award. Katherine Hung of Radnor High School and Matthew Molnar of Washington Township High School received their awards on the field from President Taylor. In the following moments, Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels took the mound in hopes to protect their home field. Both teams were scoreless in the first five innings of the game. Hamels did his part recording six strikeouts during the first five innings. The Phillies weren’t having much success sending their base runners home. In the bottom of the fourth, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Marlon Byrd loaded the bases with no outs. Dominic Brown flew out to left field and Carlos Ruiz grounded out into a double play, keeping the Phillies scoreless. After the fifth inning, the Cabrini Dance team took the field to perform in front of Citizens Bank Park. They had some help from the Phillies own Philly Phanatic. Fans cheered as the dance team moved to Ariana Grande’s “Break Free.” The Phanatic drew a lot of reaction from the crowd by going back and forth with his own movements and the steps of the dance team. Despite a short performance, the dance team was effective and represented Cabrini with excellence. Seconds later, the Phils and Marlins took the field again to start the sixth inning. Due to scoreless innings, the Cabrini student section grew restless. As a result the students decided to display their school pride by chanting the spelling of Cabrini. Shortly after the Marlins took a 1-0 lead after an Adeiny Hechavarria single sent Jeff Baker in for a score. But the Phillies answered in the bottom of the sixth inning. Chase Utley doubled on a line drive to Marlins right fielder Ed Lucas. Lucas committed an error, which sent Utley to third base. Marion Byrd came up to the plate and was hit by a wild pitch from Henderson Alvarez and Chase Utley

Cabrini students swarmed to the new president and anyone that could took selfies with Taylor. Students had nothing but great experiences with the new president especially, according to Bailey. She had an encounter with Taylor before her performance. “President walked in (my dressing room) and I had never even shook his hand before I had just read a lot about him,” Bailey said. “To know that a man that knew only one thing about me that I was a Cabrini student but offered so much encouragement

that was so on point, I really appreciated him for that.” A few alumni were at the game as well engaging with Taylor. “It was great to see Dr. Don Taylor,” alumnus Greg Robinson said. “Being on the Presidential Search Committee and being very intrigued by Dr. Taylor and his vision for the school I knew he would be a great president for my alma mater.” A lot of the Cabrini freshmen had a great time at the game and weighed in on their experiences. “Cabrini Night at the Phillies was so much fun. I enjoyed watching the game and meeting new people,” freshman Gabrielle Lee said. “I had so much fun hanging
out with my new friends and being around the Cabrini student body,” freshman Kassandra Nieves said. It only got better for Cabrini. Both teams remained at a 1-1 tie after the ninth, which led to extra innings. The Phils defense stood strong providing three straight outs. In the bottom of the 10th after Phillies back up third baseman Maikel Franco grounded out, Ben Revere singled to center field. Phillies third baseman Cody Asche hit a walkoff homer to right field to cap off the Cabrini Night at the Phillies in dramatic fashion. @HOWARDBLAKE_III @JASON_LWILLIAMS
