3 departments pilot mid-term grade reporting

BY KEVIN MOYLETT Staff Writer For the fall 2014 semester, the business, mathematics and education departments will be reporting mid-term grades. As of now only these three departments will be required to input mid-term grades. These departments will be piloting the midterm grade reporting so that academic affairs can review the process and adjust anything if necessary.

Midterm grades for these departments must be entered into CabriniOne between Oct. 10 and up until Oct. 17. Faculty can update midterm grades for students until the last day, Oct. 17. The last day to withdraw from a course is Oct. 24.

Students now have time to evaluate their grade and decide whether or not to continue in the course or fix anything they need to work on.

Students will be able to view their midterm grades by clicking on mid-term grades grades section in CabriniOne. “Students will have a better idea of how they are doing to that point,” Dr. John Brown, mathematics department chair and associate professor, said. “Especially the lower level courses it helps because of all the homework and quizzes.”

The faculty in these departments have been instructed to discuss the midterm grade calculation in class with each student so that they understand what the grade represents.

The grades being submitted are just estimates of how the students are doing. The faculty will only be inputting whole grades.

“It doesn’t really affect me,” Ally Fiorelli, junior mathematics major, said “I’m in the upper levels of math so I already have a good idea of what my grade is. In Calculus we just have three tests and a final the entire semester so by mid-semester I have very few grades.”

Not everybody was aware of the midterm grade reporting happening this semester in their department.

Dr. Don Taylor begins new campus-beautifying tradition

BY ERICA ABBOTT News Editor 19,000 bulbs, 200 mums, three trees and a brisk fall day brought with it a new tradition to Cabrini’s campus. President Don Taylor began the new tradition of campus beautification day on Oct. 2.

Faculty, staff and students came out to the Commons at 8:30 a.m. to participate. Right off the bat, Taylor said how excited he was to see the intermingling and mixing of things going on all over campus. One of the major aspects that Taylor wanted to achieve with this event was building and strengthening community on campus. “If you can’t play together, you can’t work together,” Taylor said in his opening speech.

It was also an opportunity for faculty and staff to get out of their offices and meet new people.

That is exactly what they did. Faculty and staff were all engaging in conversation, some with people that they met that day. People were working around various parts of the campus, including the Mansion, the Commons, the Chapel, King of Prussia Road and the walkway behind Iadarola.

Taylor said he really wanted to get people out of their comfort zones.

One new face to campus found beautification day a great way to

Matt Kaehler, Cabrini Mission Corps missioner, said that he got to talk to people he normally would not have been able to when in the Wolfington Center or Campus Ministry all day. “I think it’s good that President Taylor is doing this. It’s a really cool opportunity to get to know some new people and get outside a little bit,” said Kaehler. “I don’t know what the campus normally looks like in the spring when things are blossoming but I can only imag-

ine this is going to make it 10 times more beautiful with all the blue flowers popping up and the mums and everything.”

Another member of the campus community also met two new people who he had never met before. Though not as into planting, he played his part by picking up trash. “They’re in different departments so sometimes our interactions are limited,” Thor Kress, financial aid counselor, said. “It’s also [about] helping facilities and making the campus

look better, which is cool.”

Many were also grateful for the chance to get out of their office and do something different for a day. One staff member got the chance to plant hyacinths at the King of Prussia entrance. “I like working outside,” Andrew Smith, mechanical tech worker in the facilities department, said. “I prefer gardening over any other type of work so it’s nice.”

Dixon House to be restored

JOEY RETTINO/ MANAGING EDITOR

The back entrance of House 2, the Dixon House, which is currently unoccupied by students.

BY JOEY RETTINO Managing Editor Dr. Donald Taylor, president of Cabrini, and the school’s board of trustees decided last

week to renovate the Dixon House Residence Hall, which was shut down in September 2011 due to the extensive growth of mold.

As stated in a campus-wide email sent on Thursday, Oct. 2, by Taylor, Dixon House, commonly known to students as “House 2,” has a slated reopening for fall 2015 and renovations will “commence as soon as possible.”

In a Sept. 26 interview, Taylor spoke about the future of Dixon House and alluded to the news released earlier this week.

“We’re growing as an institution” Taylor, speaking about Dixon House, said. “We’re at capacity right now. We need the beds” Aside from the influx of students this year, Taylor said that his plans for the future of the living learning communities will hold a stake in what is to come of Dixon House.

While it still is in discussion with student life and academic affairs, Dixon House may be occupied by freshmen in LLCs next year, rather than by upperclassman as it had been in the past.

Kim Crowther, alumna of 2014, lived in

Dixon House the summer between her freshman and sophomore year, and really enjoyed her time there.

“It was a fun house and down right awesome if it weren’t for the mold,” Crowther said. “It’s worth fixing if it can be done.”

Dixon House’s quality amenities will act as an incentive for students’ participation in living learning communities.

According to Crowther, the house’s rooms are much different than the others on campus and do not follow the same traditional layouts. Some triples have their own bathrooms, rooms have larger closets and nearly all the rooms are above average size for Cabrini living.

With a tentative ribbon cutting for August 2015, Taylor believes that Dixon House will become a showpiece for the school and the future of what living at Cabrini will be. @JOEYRETTINO

A look inside LGBT Why should someone be judged by their sexuality? Why does it matter whether someone is homosexual, heterosexual or asexual?

Why can’t society just allow individuals to be who they are, except that and move on?

It does not affect anyone except themselves, so the justification of judgement in the LGBT community is completely irrelevant.

October is a month of breast cancer awareness, domestic violence awareness and many other issues but the one injustice that has been in the news recently has been Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender History.

For 31 days in October the chance to highlight and discuss the history of those LGBT individuals have impacted the world we live in today. From Orlando Cruz, the first openly “out” professional boxer to the recognized international fashion designer, Marc Jacobs to civil rights activist and African American poet, June Jordan, each LGBT individual has help create the society we live in today.

According to Pew Research center, “92 percent [of people surveyed] say society

has become more accepting of them in the past decade and an equal number expect it to grow even more accepting in the decade ahead.”

Unfortunately the reality of that acceptance has not been as prevalent as this community would like.

Two gay men were walking home after a party, when suddenly three other individuals ganged up on them and beat them up in Philadelphia. When things like this happen, it is obvious that the LGBT community has not been fully accepted into our everyday lives.

“The victims told police a group hurled gay slurs and beat them when the two parties passed on a Philadelphia street Sept. 11,” according to ABC News. “One man suffered serious facial injuries, including an orbital fracture and had his jaw wired.”

Three members of the group, Philip Williams, Kathryn Knott and Kevin Harrigan, that attacked the two men, whose identities were not disclosed, turned themselves in on Wednesday, Sept. 17 and have recently been

“charged with criminal conspiracy and two counts each of aggravated and simple assault and reckless endangerment.”

Regardless of anyone’s personal opinions about the LGBT community, there should never be any issues of harassment, assault or altercations about sexuality.

Just next door, our neighboring institution, Eastern University’s President Robert Duffett, in January 2014 co-signed a letter, which seeks the right for Eastern University to discriminate against LGBT individuals.

What role does being LGBT have in a Christian university? Why should it matter?

And as Cabrini students, why are we allowed have LGBT individuals on campus, but just next door, Eastern is allowed to discriminate against others?

This is the month when we should be celebrating all the good in the LGBT community, but so far, it seems as though there is still a long uphill climb for LGBT individuals to fight.

LGBT marriage rights This week marks both the progress of the legalization of equal marriage rights as well as a reminder of the close-minded ideas that still plague our world.

Just days prior to the Oct. 6 ruling by the Supreme Court allowing same-sex marriage in five states, the Catholic University of America, located in our nation’s capital, denied the viewing of the film “Milk.” “Milk is a biological film based on the life of the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California, Harvey Milk.

It is instances like these that showcase the drastic differences

in opinions among those living mere miles from one another. On one side, supporters are working for the progression of rights for those in the LGBT community.

Meanwhile on the other, there are those who are condemning the showing of a film that was meant to kick-off the beginning of LGBT history month.

To this day, such things as the practice of conversion therapy, a type of therapy that attempts to rid gay people of same-sex attraction represent the fact that citizens are obviously still uncomfortable with the thought of equal rights.

While there are people who see LGBT marriage rights as strictly either wrong or right, it’s important to understand that there is very much a grey area.

Some people believe some things should be equal, but other things not. Others believe in the equal government-granted rights as those that straight couples receive, but not calling the actual union a “marriage.”

Whether people believe it to be religiously sound or not, should not be the basis for their decision to support marriage equality. People tend to let outside ideas and propaganda in-

fluence decisions they make on social issues.

At the end of the day, the facts are that under the straight, gay, lesbian, transgender umbrella of identities, everyone is the same.

Marriage is a human right and it should not be limited to those who deserve equality, by those in power who are basing decisions off of personal opinions.

Common core standards will help nation, alumnus says

BY JATARA ALLEN AND TYRON DAVIS Staff Writers The majority of incoming freshmen in our nation struggle with college placement tests.

Two Cabrini alumni and leaders in the education field agreed on the importance of the common core.

The common core standards are a salvation to help high school students prepare for college as well as their careers in the future.

Dane Linn, a Cabrini alumnus and the vice president of the business roundtable, spoke on Sept. 23 in Grace Hall.

“If the United States is going to be a competitive nation we have to figure out ways in which our education system can raise the bar,” Linn said.

The common core standards will start in Pre-K but actual assessing will not begin until grade three. The test assessing are not only going to be for students from Pre-K to grade 12, but also for teachers commencing their studies.

The goal for the common core standards is to help students think critically. “The standards define the what. The intent was not to tell teachers how to teach them, how to teach the standards and what materials, textbooks or electronics or whatever media that they could use,” Linn said.

Instead of numbers in mathematics there will be word

problems. In language arts, the goal is to focus students on reading, writing, speaking and listening. This testing will help students apply their knowledge to the real world.

“One of the things that we are hearing a lot about the common core is the level of rigor,” Bob Salladino, a Cabrini alumni and principal for the Rose Tree Media school district, said. “It has been a game-changer and I think really helping our teachers to try and figure out how to get our students from where they are right now to get them to where they need to be is the biggest challenge.”

States such as Massachusetts and Kentucky already have these standards in place and the students that come from these states have a higher success rate in college and in their careers.

There is an expectation that there will be a higher college retention rate and a more successful job placement rate out of college. The new standards establish a common language amongst all the teachers regardless of their style of teaching.

The concern is whether the students are ready for the new assessments and change of material and potentially styles of what they may be used to.

“I would say the common standard really should consider the cultures and the differentiation [of ] where these students are coming from and where they’re living be-

Art department to host first ever student art exhibit

RENEE OLIVER/STAFF WRITER

The second floor of the Holy Spirit Library holds Cabrini’s art exihbits.

BY RENEE OLIVER Staff Writer Cabrini College will be having its first-ever student art exhibit that is open to all students.

Other art shows feature the work of students in art courses and in the graphic design and fine arts departments.

All current Cabrini students are encouraged to submit any type of original artwork or media.

The deadline to submit is Monday, Oct. 20.

The exhibit will last from Thursday, Nov. 6 to Friday, Dec. 5. It will be held at the Gorevin Gallery, which is located on the second floor of the Holy Spirit library. At the opening reception on Nov. 6, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., free food and drinks will be served. Students, faculty, friends and family are all welcomed to

view the exhibit. Beer and wine will also be served for those of age.

Studio art associate professor and Gorevin Gallery curator Nick Jacques is overseeing the entire event and submissions from students. “I wanted to have an exhibit that was open to all Cabrini students,” Jacques said. “I’d like to give everyone a chance to exhibit some of their work.”

Jacques urges any student, no matter what their major is, to submit.

Jacques had been thinking about having the exhibit for the past couple of years, but is now excited to see that it is finally happening.

This will be the very first one and hopefully the exhibit will continue either annually or semiannually.

Students that are interested

should fill out an entry form and submit a high-quality electronic image of their work. These images can be put on a CD or zip drive and then submitted directly to Jacques at his office in Widener center room 203.

Students are allowed to submit up to three pieces.

Sophomore graphic design major, Krista Mosco, thinks that the art exhibit is a good thing for Cabrini students.

“It’s interesting. I would go and I would see it,” Mosco said.

When asked about what she thinks about the exhibit, English and education major Darian Dalfonso said, “It’s cool. I would go to it since it’s just Cabrini students.”

The exhibit will be open for viewing Monday through Sunday during regular gallery hours. @RENEEOLIVER4423

Mentoring for the future: accounting alumni speakers

BY DELEON FLOYD AND JOHN HOWARD Staff Writers A panel of accounting alumni visit Cabrini every year to talk to accounting majors about their job search, career path, certifications and graduate school.

On Sept. 29, a panel of special guests visited the college for a presentation in the Mansion.

For about twenty years Professor Ann Servey has organized the Accounting Alumni event.

Over these twenty years there has been a lot of success with the help of this presentation. The accounting program, for example, has graduates who are certified public accountants, alumni with graduate degrees and workers for Ebay. “Accounting majors at Cabrini are movers and shakers,” Servey said. “They also give back to the school. They give back to the school by mentoring.”

One alumna at the event, Andrea Marrical, graduated in 2012.

Marrical was an accounting major with a Spanish minor for a while but dropped the minor so she would be able to graduate in four years. Her current job title is revenue accountant. Marrical deals with a lot of E-Commerce clients, which essentially are big companies that sell their products electronically online.

“Every month I track their data and volume and I come up with a settlement of the fees they owe us

from the contract,” Marrical said.

Marrical said that Cabrini College does a very good job at preparing its students for the job world when they get out of college. Marrical feels that a lot of people she was in school with at Cabrini already had connections with jobs that they ended up working for after they graduated.

Marrical’s advice for all accounting majors is to understand that the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam is a big commitment so if you are not ready to take it, do not take it until you are fully prepared for it. The CPAcertification is very important because it’s the only qualification to be a certified accountant.

Senior accounting major, Brittany Keer, enjoyed catching up with former classmates who are now alumni and asked them questions about life after college.

She also agrees with taking the CPA and believes that the alumni spoke on various important details about the field but also gave life changing advice. “This presentation will definitely benefit me in the future, “ Kerr said.

“It will have a big impact on my future in accounting.”

LGBT history month

BY ABIGAIL KEEFE AND ANESIA MEREDITH Staff Writers October is LGBT history month. LGBT is an acronym which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. LGBT month is celebrated both nationally and internationally throughout the world.

Stephanie Reed, director of the student diversity office, speaks about LGBT month at Cabrini College the upcoming events and plans to celebrate LGBT month for the whole month of October.

Reed said she and the Diversity office usually try to connect activities on campus with National Coming Out Day, which is Oct. 11.

One event that occurs is Ally Week. Ally Week takes place in multiple schools all over the country, from Oct. 13 to the 17.

Ally Week is the biggest celebration.

During Ally Week in the past, schools have done things throughout the month in which they talk about LGBT history and have showcases such as exhibits and display tables. This year the school community plans on having multiple supporting exhibitions for the week that incorporate LGBT history.

Reed says that there is a club on campus that recognizes the LGBT population. The group’s name is out reach GSA, which stands for Gender and Sexual Alliance.

When asked if Cabrini supports and encourages the LGBT Community, Reed says that we need to educate ourselves more not only about just gay and straight issues but transgender and transsexual issues as well.

For future plans, Reed wants to continue to see Cabrini become educated and says that it’s a very tough topic to tackle at a

Catholic institution. She believes a lot of students do not think that the community is supportive of LGBT, although that is not the case.

“I think the club is a good start,” Julia Westerfer, sophomore exercise science major, said.

“Maybe we could do some kind of event or walk on the campus in support of the month.”

Sasha Dougherty, freshman, was asked how long she’s been bisexual. Dougherty says that she knew all her life that she liked girls, but she was scared to let her mom know because she was a pastor.

Dougherty says that she believes that Cabrini should have a parade to celebrate LGBT month.

She also believes that the reason people do not want to come out is because they are uncomfortable with themselves. If they were comfortable it would not take a club to bring them out. Dougherty also said that she doesn’t think Cabrini brings enough awareness to LGBT. One widely known event that takes place in support of the LGBT community is the Day of Silence which takes place on April 11.This is the largest action led by students that aims for safe schools regardless of gender expression, gender identity and sexual orientation. You can learn more about this event by searching Day of Silence in the search engine on Cabrini’s website.

If you are interested in joining some events to support LGBT, Cabrini will be holding an LGBT history trivia game with Textbreakers at 6 p.m. in Jazzman’s Hosted by Diversity/CAP Board on Oct. 15.

Campus beautification CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

Taylor also wanted to do something consistent with our core values, one of them being environmental stewardship. Dr. Carrie Nielsen, assistant professor of biology, said that she thought beautification day was a fantastic idea. Part of what she was doing was planting day lilies by the Mansion. “I think beautifying our campus obviously is important but even more it’s such a great opportunity for the campus community to come together and work together,” Nielsen said. “I think this really helps people focus on our campus as a natural resource that we share. Hopefully it will help people think more about environmental issues and also about taking care of our campus on all the other days when it’s not beautification day.”

Taylor hopes to hold this event twice a year—one in the fall semester and another in the spring semester in the weeks leading up to commencement. He also hopes to come up with some new tradition once a month that is introduced to build community.

Later, Taylor said that another favorite part of the day was being able to announce a surprise to everyone that came out to the lunch at 11:30 a.m. Everyone that participated and came to lunch was given the rest of the day off.

If unable to get away from the office after lunch, attendees of the lunch are able to take a morning or afternoon off at another point in the semester.

By helping reflect on what Taylor called a tremendous resource, beautification day also helps remind people of the beauty of the campus. “We have to be good stewards of our environment,” Taylor said. “We have to then collaborate with the whole community to take care of our campus and make sure we beautify it at every opportunity that we have.” @ERICA_ABBOTT

The Joylon Pitt Girard Scholar-in-Residence: Douglas A. Blackmon

LAUREN HIGHT/ MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

BY LEONARD BROCK AND LAUREN HIGHT Marketing and Circulation and Multimedia Editor History filled the room at the Joylon Pitt Girard Scholar-in-Residence Keynote Lecture as Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Douglas Blackmon, spoke to staff and students.

Blackmon is the author of The New York Times best seller “Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II.” This non-fiction book explores the story of Green Cottenham,

an African American slave, and the overall fight for equality that slaves endured.

Dr. Daryl Mace, chair of the history and political science department, took part in suggesting to bring Blackmon to campus.

“When we were selecting the recipient of the Scholar-in-Residence, I knew I wanted Douglas Blackmon. I am a huge fan of his book and it has a prominent space on my bookshelf,” Mace said as he pulled down the book which is covered in tabs that he placed in it.

The mansion was calm as the audience was focused and attentive at what they were learning from Blackmon.

He provided great intellect that described the logistics and emotions behind the enslaved.

“Over time, the system...the rigid terroristic system has made it impossible for African Americans to live their life without having a violation,” Blackmon said during his speech. “Talking too loudly and selling crops after dark was considered a crime because some white man controlled your life. If there wasn’t something that caused this, then was there something wrong with black people?”

While it showed that Blackmon is clearly very passionate about this subject, he also showed his sense of humor when he made a comment that he was being booed off the stage. In reality, the grandfather clock was alerting us that 8 o’clock had arrived.

People enjoyed his light-hearted spirit as he explained how his childhood made him question why things were the way that they were. Growing up by the Mississippi delta, he experienced racial segregation firsthand.

“Between 1900 and World War II, people who were desperately poor were no longer in that situation. Except for African Americans. It occurred to me that all of the people that I knew from church or school had drastically different lives than I did.”

All that he spoke about as a child was foreshadowing his legacy. He showed hints that he would become a historian and journalist fighting for social justice.

Jim Flanagan, junior American studies major, was in attendance and marveled at how Blackmon’s passion stuck with him from his youth.

“It was interesting that he would keep up on what he saw and experienced when he was 12. The fact that he still relates back those memories really made an impact,” Flanagan said.

Blackmon made a solid statement towards the end of his speech as he approached the topic of modern-day segregation.

Miss America—more than a blonde bombshell?

BY ABIGIAL KEEFE Staff Writer

Every year, women compete against one another in the Miss America pageant.

Kira Kazantsev was crowned winner for the 2015 Miss America pageant and competed against 53 others.

Some know this pageant for beautiful women with big hair and fit bodies.

Others may admire their talents and capacity to speak out about important issues.

For whatever the reason you watch it, it’s entertainment.

As if competing for being beautiful in a beauty pageant isn’t hard enough, there are many other rules, regulations and contests in the pageant itself to keep in mind. In an interview with the Huffington Post, Kazantsev said, “It’s a two week long boot camp.”

One thing that Kazantsev is well known for is her talented performance of the Pharrell Williams’ song “Happy” meshed with the cup song from the hit move, “Pitch Perfect,” which was a crowd pleaser.

She is also known for being Miss New York, Miss California Jr. Teen and even a Nike-sponsored golfer at the age of 12.

In 1989, it was decided that each contestant in the pageant would choose a platform for a cause that means the most to them.

Kazantsev’s platform is domestic violence.

She chose combating sexual assault in the military as the issue in which she wants female U.S. Senators to press their male counterparts. Being crowned in September, it is not difficult to remember that it’s currently a hot topic in the news with the NFL. Kanzantsev was crowned at the age of 23.

Contestants must be at least 18 and under 27 years of age before the time of all pageants are completed.

Some other strict rules for being a contestant in such a pageant is that one cannot be married or have ever been married.

Women looking into competingcannot have any children, biological or adopted.

There are many opinions that go with the title of being Miss America.

How smart could a blonde bombshell like Kazantsev be, right?

Wrong. Kazantsev is trilingual. Yes, trilingual. As a daughter of Russian immigrants, she speaks Russian and is also fluent in Spanish and English.

She triple-majored in political science, global studies and geography at Hofstra University in Long Island.

Impressed yet? She was also accepted to Fordham University’s Law School with a $10,000 scholarship and is planning on studying international law.

As stated previously, she is an advocate of domestic violence. Kazantsev has been through battles with this violence herself with an abusive relationship and ex-boyfriend and stalker.

Paige Wayman, a sophomore exercise sci-

ence major, says that she thinks the competitions each year are very entertaining but can be a little degrading to women at times with the standards of the contestants’ body images.

When asked about if she thinks domestic violence is a good platform, she said, “Absolutely, it’s such a serious topic.”

Of course, being in the spot light with such a title as Miss America comes with its “perks” of media digging up the past.

Kazantsev was in a hazing controversy when she was an undergraduate at Hofstra University.

She was asked to step down as a sister of the Alpha Phi at her time at the university.

Looking back, she says she was an impressionable freshman who saw hazing in the sorority scene so it grew to not be something as negative as others might see it today and that she now realizes that it was wrong.

Pageant officials say that Kazantsev has been fully transparent with the Miss America Organization about her termination from the Alpha Phi sorority and stand by her.

Pageantry at its worst

BY BRIANNA MORRELL Staff Writer

Internationally, women take part in contests to show off how well they manage to look in a bikini or to tell the whole audience how they could change the world.

These contests are called pageants.

Every year, contests and shows are aired to the public on the internet, television and other platforms we can access at our finger tips.

These competitions show women off for a title that is beyond far-fetched for all other women around the world.

Within this world of pageants you have women and children competing for titles among the best formal wear, best swimsuit, most photogenic and many more.

In 2014, the world of pageantry is still popular just like it was years ago.

These competitions give women who aren’t participating a message that how the competitors look is the way all women in the USA should look.

They also give little girls the idea of acting more mature than their real age.

Recent reports have shown that scholarships have been given out, worth millions of dollars. But are these competitions giving out these scholarships?

The answer is no.

In fact, this money is being used to improve the quality of Miss America shows.

This money also goes to help with prizes and publicity of the Miss America shows. Today, there are too many titles to be won and many women today strive to be in these competitions and look “competition ready.”

In movies and pop culture, you see women being horribly skinny and photo edited to make them look like the ideal woman to men in America today. The pageant of

Miss America has strict ideals for women.

Many women in these competitions are very thin, have a ton of makeup on and wear highly expensive dresses and bathing suits throughout the whole competition.

The idea of the “perfect woman” has changed throughout the years and continues to change today. The image seems to have turned into being skinny and wearing clothes that are either too tight or too flamboyant.

These pageants set standards for women and especially little girls.

Little girls who start off in pageants can start off at a very young age.

At such a young age, such as five or six, girls seem to get the idea that this is what they should always look like. Little girls enjoy being “glam” and all dolled up for pageants.

Women who compete in Miss America typically have been doing pageants since they were young. Pageants set standards for women and give the wrong message on how to be seen in public.

These competitions showcase women who apparently look “perfect” in the eyes of the judges, and even then are being judged and sorted through to find the perfect girl to win the title.

Pageantry should be a thing of the past.

Not only do they give negative messages to the world watching them, but the competitions all seem so pathetic.

What is the real worth of winning Miss America?

Miss America and other competitions should put the pageants in the past. If they can’t pull through with the scholarship money and use it for their own benefit, they are doing no good.

Girls and women should have the idea of being perfect however you are and not be given examples from pageants.

The era of pageants is over and the rumors and news should be put to rest. We will see a change in society if we kill the biggest source of shaming women.

@BRIANNAMORRELL TLC’s hit series, “Toddlers and Tiaras,” features girls competing in beauty pageants. Is this a healthy message for young girls to learn? Will these girls have an even more altered view of beauty as they become teens?

Are you watching? Must-see new and returning shows Why is the RAC not stacked?

BY KEVIN MOYLETT Staff Writer

There are a lot of new shows to look forward to watching this fall. A series that has been strongly advertised is “Gotham,” starring Ben McKenzie. It’s described as the origin story of the future police commissioner Jim Gordon.

But seriously a Gotham without Batman?

No thank you. “Gotham,” which premiered on Sept. 22, is on Fox and comes on Mondays at 8 p.m.

The great Shonda Rhimes, creator, executive producer and head writer of “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal,” is back at it again with her new series “How to Get Away With Murder.” This new legal thriller, which stars Viola Davis, is about a law school professor and her students who become involved in a murder plot that they have to figure out how to get away with. “How to Get Away with Murder,” which premiered on Sept. 25, is on ABC and comes on Thursdays at 10 p.m.

A new controversial show this fall is “Black-ish,” created by and starring come-

ABC’s new and controversial family Wednesdays at 9:30

dian Anthony Anderson. This series is about an African-American man’s efforts to establish a cultural identity for his family living in a predominately white, upper middle-class neighborhood.

The title of the show seems to be the cause of most of the backlash.

Donald Trump tweeted, “How is ABC Television allowed to have a show entitled “Blackish”? Can you imagine the furor of a show, “Whiteish”! Racism at highest level?”

Cover for “Boardwalk Empire.”

No doubt there will be a lot more discussion about this show as the season goes on.

“Black-ish,” which premiered on Sept. 24, is on ABC and comes on Wednesdays at 9 p.m.

There are some great shows returning this fall “Boardwalk Empire,” which stars Steve Buscemi, is in the middle of its fifth and final season. The series is set in Atlantic City, N.J. during the prohibition era and focuses on the life of Nucky Thompson. Thompson is a corrupt politician who becomes one of the most successful bootleggers in the country.

However, the series has been extremely disappointing through the first four episodes. The show that was once so thrilling

Shonda Rhime’s latest Thursday night drama stars Viola Davis. Check out ABC at 10p.m. after Scandal.

and made you fear the possible death of a major character every episode has been non-existent so far this season.

“Boardwak Empire” has shown a lot of boring flashbacks, conversations with no meaning and episodes missing vital characters. My feeling is that all the different characters will tie back together again, the storyline gets back on track and finishes the series strong. The HBO hit series airs on Mondays at 9 p.m.

One of the most anticipated shows coming back this fall is “The Walking Dead.”

The series which stars Andrew Lincoln will premiere its fifth season on AMC on Oct. 12 at 9.pm. The show is about a police officer leading a group of survivors in a world overrun by zombies.

“The Walking Dead” has easily been one of the most entertaining shows on television.

The fourth season wasn’t the best, but that is just because the group got separated so it had to focus on different members each episode.

At the end of the fourth season, the group is back together after being captured in a place they believed to be a safe haven. The fifth season is a must watch to find out what the people want who captured them and how they are going to escape. @KEVINMOYLETT

HBO’s acclaimed drama set in the during the glittering 1920s is in its final season.

Moving on up—living on the west side

BY PATRICK WHALEN Staff Writer

West side is the best side.

It’s like a whole new college.

I see things this year that I never saw my freshman and sophomore years.

When I was a freshman I lived in Xavier Hall. The walk from there to Founders was treacherous. And don’t even get me started on the walk to the Dixon Center.

By the time you would arrive at the gym you would already have a workout under your belt.

It made me not want to go to the gym.

Now that I live in the Cabrini apartment complex, it’s so much easier to walk places.

Not to mention the geese don’t come our way.

I can’t tell you how many times that stupid goose would attack me on my way to going into East res to see my friends.

Then when you finally got by the goose you would have to wait to be signed in.

Getting signed into other buildings was THE WORST. Now if I want to go see my friends who live in West res, I can just sign myself in.

At first I thought I had a magical ID that would let me into any building but I was sadly mistaken.

The only thing that was magical was the west side of campus. Everything is so much better here.

The rooms we live in actually have walls that aren’t made out of plywood.

I live right across from Mike Mullen who is an assistant director of residence life. I won’t lie, I was worried at first. Last year I lived in the Maguire house and if you cracked a beer the whole house would hear it.

My computer gets service in my living room but not in my room. My phone gets service in my room but not in my living room.

I just want to fall asleep watching a movie on my computer but I simply can’t.

Simple, I’ll just go to my living room.

Everything is going fine and then my mom calls.

So I have to physically get up and go into my room to talk to her.

By the time I’m off the phone I don’t even want to watch a movie anymore.

Aside from the falling acorns and the bad service, the west side of campus is ideal for students who are looking to live on campus their junior and senior years.

I would advise any student to look into living in the apartment complex or west res.

It was the best decision I’ve made and it will be the best decision for you too.

The RAC has not represented its name very well since the beginning of the year as there are low stocks of snacks for students.

It is known that there are approximately 400 freshmen students this year, much more than last year’s freshmen class.

That being said there should be a huge stock of food, snacks and drinks.

We should not be going into the RAC already and see it as scarce as we have seen many days.

There are students that go into the RAC hoping, with their fingers crossed, that they can purchase their favorite snack to fill their late-night cravings. Many walk out disappointed. Students come in late nights for their favorite flavor of milkshakes and candy and find that it is not there.

The milkshake machines malfunction more often than they work.

They have replaced the giant Sweet Tarts with Jelly Belly Jelly Beans last week.

Only four out of nine rows of candy offered are actually eaten by, the students.

There is also a lack of food in the glass case on the opposite side of the register. Last year you could purchase different types of cake such as cheese cake, Oreo cakes and more.

It is expected that sometimes it will be that way, but this should not be like this continuous for weeks back-to-back.

Most of us have classes in the day and do our homework at night.

We need the snacks for the energy to keep us up to do it. This is disappointing to the commuters as well that hang out in the new lounge. It is not always this way, but it has been more times than it has not. @LBROCK946

Stay healthy at Cabrini

BY MARINA HALEY Staff Writer

“Achoo,” a student in a Cabrini College class sneezed and then began coughing. Then another student sitting next to the sick person started coughing and sneezing. Why are people so sick at Cabrini?

School nurse Sue Fitzgerald said, “It’s just that time of year where you have to be careful because many college students develop bad health habits and are living in close proximity to one another.”

Also, the nurse explained that if you are inside all the time and are not able to breath fresh air, your chances for being sick will rise. A person with seasonal allergies should not open up any windows during the allergy season.

There are also many different common viruses going around, including cold viruses, over two thousand types of rhino viruses, seasonal allergies, and occasional stomach bugs. A good suggestion for staying healthy includes washing your hands.

Also food and drink should not be shared and people should be keeping their hands away from their eyes and mouth. Getting enough rest, eat nutritious foods, and making time for exercise are important ways to stay healthy. Public safety lends a helping hand to students who are sick.

Marketing major Tymir Black, an intern at the nurse’s office, said, that “he really likes going to the nurse’s office because they pay lots of attention to students.”

When people get sick the nurse puts a lot of information out to help students get better. For

example, how to tell the difference between a cold and a flu. Some good ways to get better are to stay up to date with shots, wash your hands constantly and use hand sanitizer all the time.

“We are all in each other’s face, touching door knobs and most bathrooms are very dirty, and some kids don’t even wash their hands,” said Black.

Kellie Fusco, a history major, had a different take on it, “Choir students normally like to drink tea with honey and lemon when they are sick,” and she said she likes to meditate when she gets sick. Another student, Meghan Doyle a psychology major said, “People should always carry hand sanitizer with them, drink lots of juice, and eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away,” Doyle said.

Sodexo worker tries to balance career and school

This 22-year-old from Boothwyn, Pa., has been working for Sodexo—the

Rohanna’s major is business and he is interested in human resources and sports management.

His dream is to one day open his own restaurant. He attended culinary school at Johnson & Wales University before coming to Cabrini.

Although Rohanna is not living on campus, he still hopes to get involved in student activities here at Cabrini.

He is interested in things like flag football and club baseball.

He played a lot of sports in high school, so it is important to him to continue as much as he can while in college. He is also in the Cabrini Cruisers, a L e a r n i n g Community (LC) for commuter students. He feels his LC is like another family. Rohanna’s main concern when it comes to the transition of worker to BRIAN ROHANNA / SUBMITTED PHOTO student-worker

This year, he decided to actually enroll at Cabrini as a student, not just a worker.

“I already knew a lot of kids that go to Cabrini from working here,” Rohanna said. “So I knew I wanted to go here. It’s like a second home.”

is time management. As someone who is used to working full-time, it is going to be a big adjustment figuring out when it is time to study and when it is time to work. He is still working for Sodexo part-time while going to school full-time.

“I’m mostly worried about finals,” Rohanna said. “I’ll probably ask to work less around that time so I can study more.”

Classes have been going well for Rohanna so far. He says management is his favorite class, and his favorite professor is the professor of that class, Dave Burke, the assistant professor of human resources.

Rohanna says he is glad to have great classmates who have been helping him out a lot in class. A transition like this is not always necessarily easy, so Rohanna’s been grateful to the Cabrini students who have reached out to him. @KATIEAMUSKA

Time management in college

BY JOESEPH PACIFICO Staff Writer

There are a lot of important skills one must have in order to be a successful college student.

One skill that tends not to be given the most attention to is time management. There is no question to the fact that college students are very busy.

Some students balance their studies with athletic commitments and even full-time jobs.

Around Cabrini ‘s campus it is safe to say that students feel as though there are not enough hours in the day for them to keep up with their studies and other commitments.

Most students do not like the fact that they are always busy. They find that they are constantly fulfilling their job, athletic or academic obligations and rarely have time to devote solely to relaxation.

Sean Neary, a senior, pre-nursing major, at Cabrini College had this to add: “When it comes to my time management skills I plan ahead and keep track of all of my assignments by writing them down.” Sean is also a member of the men’s soccer team at Cabrini. Given his athletic commitments he has to make sure that he uses his time effectively to balance his athletic commitments with his academic studies.

Sherrie Deegan, learning support specialist, at Cabrini is a staff member who knows all about the importance of time management. Deegan said, “About half of incoming students need to work on better managing their time.”

Deegan had also recommended that students take advantage of the daytime hours for the purposes of completing their school assignments. She had noted that it is not a good idea for students to try to complete their assignments late at night.

Deegan had made it a point that there is a lot of free time for some students in college.

Students need to best know how to manage their free time so that they are able to get all of their assignments completed on time. Deegan also said, “college is all about balancing work and fun.”

Overall, it should be known that time management is an important skill that all college students should master. Students at any college can successfully manage their time if they are able to come up with a plan that best allows them to manage their time. Cabrini senior John Gamrat has is own plan to stay organized “I manage my time by completing my school work one day at a time.”

Investors take shots at Olive Garden

BY THOMAS BRESLIN Staff Writer

Italian chain restaurant Olive Garden has taken some heat as of late from investors who say Olive Garden does not sell enough alcohol and sells too many breadsticks and salads to their customers. The owners of Olive Garden are defending themselves and say that the breadstick and salad strategy are doing just what they want. Investors want to create a plan for Olive Garden that they think will help the Italian chain restaurant do better.

In a recent article written by John Kell, Olive Garden defends its unlimited breadsticks and salad strategy.

He says that investor Starboard Value LP has presented a plan that can help the restaurant. They issued complaints that Olive Garden is selling too many breadsticks and too much dressing on their salads. Most people who dine at Olive Garden usually do not finish all the breadsticks they are given and you can say that is a waste of food. Starboard Value LP also says that part of their plan for Olive Garden is to sell more alcohol to customers. One of the most crucial points Starboard Value LP touched on was how Olive Garden does not salt the water for there pasta.

Joseph McCarthy, a senior at Cabrini College says Olive Garden is one of his favorite places to dine at every once in a while. “I do not think it is good that we waste food however Olive Garden is known for their breadsticks and salads.

They are amazing. McCarthy said.

Olive Garden averages 675-700 million breadsticks a year. Olive Garden fired back at investor Starboard Value

LP and saying that the breadsticks and salads are customer’s favorites and rated highly on their menu. In John Kell’s article, Olive Garden has said that alcohol sales are increasing as of late.

Investors may think that Olive Garden needs to change to a new plan but the Italian chained restaurant says they are looking just fine as of now.

“When I go to Olive Garden I look forward to the breadsticks and salads,” McCarthy said. “Especially if the breadsticks are free then I don’t care how many they give me.” @THOMASPBRESLIN

Cabrini student enters the app business

BY ALEXA FERRAGINE Lifestyles Editor

AJ Picard a senior business major stepped into the store GameStop with the intentions of purchasing a game he had put on reserve.

As Picard was reserving the game the cashier asked if he would like to reserve four other games.

AJ didn’t know what any of these games were.

He was then offered to subscribe to game informer which is a magazine for people that want to know more about a certain video game for 30 dollars a month.

“In the back of my head I was like why not just make an app?” said Picard.

Picard started developing this idea Sept. of last year. He created a business plan and started finding developers to help him make the app. His app started being developed in May. Although Picard says choosing a developer and choosing what advertisements to run within his app he did not let this stop him from creating the app iGames was released Aug. 28, 2014.

Meet the Cabrini missioners Economics and Peace and Justice and is now a Cabrini Missioner.

After graduation, Kaehler was looking for a small volenteer program in the Philidelphia area.

“I loved the idea of working in a campus ministry setting,” Kaehler said.

While at the Villanova Post-Graduate volenteer fair he was introduced to the Cabrini Mission Corps by a friend Martin Garcia who is also a Cabrini missioner.

“I couldn’t be more thankful to be here,” Kaehler said. “This is a really special place. I’ve loved every second of being here and being a part of this program.”

Kaehler says he is falling in love with the Cabrini charism, the Cabrini sisters and especially the people here.

“I feel right at home,” Kaehler said.

Say hello to Connor White!

Connor attended Villanova University and is now a Cabrini Missioner.

While being a senior at Villanova, White was talking to his friend Martin Garcia who decided to become a Cabrini Missioner.

“Whenever I would come visit him on Cabrini’s campus I was enamored by the intimacy and community that was present on campus,” White said.

White loved the location of Cabrini and how everyone seemed to know or recognize everyone.

“This was an opportunity to live it out, so last year I talked to Martin and asked him if he thought it would be a good fit,” White said. “He thought it would be, so I applied and got the position.”

White says his experience so far at Cabrini has been so much better than he imagined it to be.

“It’s been pretty amazing coming to this campus, community and environment after spending four years at Villanova where a business school ethic is the primary underlying metanarrative of the way the school is ran,” White said.

A Cabrini Missioner is not paid and is stricly volenteer and service work.

“Being a Missioner is about living everyday with an open heart and attitude and sharing the love of

experience on food insecurity at the organization he volunteered at this summer.

He is also working on a process to help students interested in post-graduate volunteering to discern which program might be best for them.

“I try to be the best example of Mother Cabrini that I can be for the students,” Kaehler said. “Whether we’re helping to teach classes, organizing retreats and service, or helping the Admissions Office with social justice materials, I always try to remember why I’m here.”

Christ in every moment with everyone you can,” White said.

White claims that he is probably getting more work more experience in varied work locales as a missioner than he would at a job.

Engadging within the ECG classes this year have been White’s favorite part of the year so far.

“I love learning and being in a community of learners, and I love seeing others learn. Watching people’s awareness and focus widen and broaden has been great to see,” White said. “The students have been doing a great job of dealing with the challenges that are presented to us in class and learning how to live with and work through them as a person.”

Welcome Martin Garcia!

A near fatal car accident Garcia’s senior year of college just a year ago in 2013 made a big impact on his life.

After recovering, Garcia realized his own desire to do something meaningful.

“For me, that wasn’t sitting behind a desk all day in some boring job. If I was going to die, I best do something I love and pay forward the blessings I received thus far in life.” Garcia said. “I had no money to give anyone, but I did have time and skills that I learned in college. I figured the best thing to do was a year of service.”

Garcia researched and looked online and found the Cabrini Mission Corps.

“The idea of working at a college, working with students, and living in a community of people who were sure to be awesome sat well with me,” Garcia said.

Garcia is back for his second year here at Cabrini.

“I think that speaks for itself,” said Garcia.

“I was planning on working for a big company that was international so I could travel,” said Garcia. “I never liked the idea of working for someone else and I was just going to hope that my boss was good. As a missioner, I have the best boss ever. Jesus is my boss.”

Patience is key for young Sixers team

BY HOWARD BLAKE III Sports Editor

For the Philadelphia 76ers, two words can describe their upcoming season, patience and growth. With an average age of 24 the 76ers will return a young roster this year, which has everyone predicting the Sixers will be one of the NBA’s worst teams.

The Sixers management is perfectly fine with going through the rebuilding process and they’ve made it evident in their actions. After only winning 19 games, Sixers fans wanted to build through the draft to ensure a quick turnaround for the team.

The Sixers showed patience by drafting Joel Embiid who is arguably the most skilled player in the draft. However

just like Nerlens Noel did a year ago, Embiid most likely will not play this season due to injuries. The Sixers were very quiet during free agency and did not make any major splashes.

Instead the Sixers are looking to develop their young players. Rookie Of The Year Michael CarterWilliams is recovering from his shoulder surgery, but there are high hopes for him to build from his stellar season a year ago.

The Sixers are looking for Toney Wroten to flourish this season as well. In his third year with the team Wroten has proved to be a solid sixth man who can score and run the show.

Head Coach Brett Brown wants to continue his fast pace philosophy that had his Sixers ranked first in the league in pace last season. Fast pace offense starts with creating havoc on the defensive end and the Sixers have filled their roster with defensive minded players.

K.J. McDaniels is one of the newest draft additions to the Sixers. At Clemson he earned ACC defensive player of the year honors last season. Jeremey Grant, rookie out of Syracuse University was also brought as a defensive presence.

With Nerlens Noel entering his first season, coming off of injury, he’s been known for his shot blocking and defensive ability. The Sixers organization is taking care of the foundation because we all know that defense wins championships.

However each player hasn’t nearly scratched the surface of their potential and will be a work-in-progress over the next couple years.

The new Sixers lost their first preseason game 78-98 to the Boston Celtics on Monday Oct. 6. Second year player, Hollis

Thompson lit up the scoreboard in the first half, going 5-5 from the floor and 3-3 from threepoint range to end with 15 points.

Wroten showed up and had 19 points and five assists. But the Sixers struggled as a team.

They hung in the game until the Celtics went on a 21-5 run in the fourth quarter that the Sixers could not overcome.

All eyes were on Noel; he had a shaky first game. He went 2-9 from the floor and only ended with four points. His defense was great as he clogged the lane the entire game, but his offensive game is still a work in progress.

After the first preseason game the Sixers will continue to work hard and develop their players. As they lay the foundation, it is exciting to see what this young team with CarterWilliams, Noel, and Embiid as the nucleus will turn out to be over the next few years.

Sixer fans, prepare your self for another mediocre season, but know that losing due to the inexperience of young players will soon pass. The foundation that they have set makes the future look very bright.

Cavaliers welcome back alumni with overtime win

BY JILL NAWOYSKI Staff Writer

In the nail-biting home match up against Centenary College, the men’s soccer team added another win under their belt

while breaking the tie game during the 89th minute of overtime this past Saturday.

Before the game, men’s soccer welcomed back more than 20 alumni to campus for their annual alumni game at 9:30 a.m.

Cabrini soccer alum play in annual alumni game.

JILL NAWOYSKI/ STAFF WRITER

Midfielder number 22 Sean Neary finished with one shot and one shot on goal in 93 minutes of play.

The players were split into two teams and got a chance to once again play the game that they love. “It’s great to be playing soccer and is always good to get back out on the field,” Brett Lockbaum, a graduate of the class of 2013 said. “We never see each other, so it’s good to see everyone that you used to play with for the last four years.”

Head Coach Rob Dallas was excited to welcome the alumni back to campus.

“Today, a lot of guys that I had the pleasure of coaching were here and having them come out and create an atmosphere about the game was awesome,” Dallas said. “It helps to continue the Cabrini soccer tradition.” Dallas had the chance to switch roles during the alumni game; being on the field is something that he will always love.

“I love to play when I can... it’s a lot of fun,” Dallas said. “I wish I could do it more often.”

Eric Nowicki, goalie from the class of 2013, said that playing in college is something that he will always miss.

“College is definitely the best four years of your life; the working world isn’t all that fun. It’s important to enjoy school while you’re in it,” Nowick said. “I miss playing.”

The alumni stuck around after their game to watch the Cavs, and they sure did not disappoint.

The matchup started with neither team scoring in the first 45 minute half. Both teams took shots on goal but neither was successful. Junior goalie R.J. Pino had a strong save for the Blue and White in the 26th minute of the first half, while Centenary goalie Jesse Goleman also stood his ground by not allowing the Cavs to score.

During the second half, the Cyclones put a point on the

board. Freshman Justin White had an unassisted goal in the 78th minute. Centenary continued the momentum, winning several corner kicks, but the Cabrini defense, including Kyle Chevalier, Tyler Bond, Christian Martin and Ryan New stood strong, not letting the Cyclones add another point to the board.

Once the game dwindled down to the final minutes, it looked as if Centenary would walk away with the win but that idea soon changed with less than a minute left of the game. With a little over 30 seconds left on the clock, sophomore Bobby Kane found the back of the net, tying the game 1-1. “It felt great to score, but I can’t take the credit for the goal because without the other 10 guys on the field there would have been no scoring chance,” Kane said. “I give all of the credit to them.”

Kane’s goal gave the Cavaliers a shot at grabbing the win, adding 10 minutes of overtime onto the clock. At the seventh minute of overtime, sophomore Mohammad Konneh obtained the ball and found sophomore John Underwood in the Centenary penalty area.

Underwood beat Centenary goalie Jesse Goleman and threw a loose ball in the box, successfully leading the Cavaliers to the win, ending the game 2-1.

“I was thankful for a good ball

by Mo and I got a little lucky at the end,” Underwood said. “I was able to hit it in.”

Winning this game was important to the Blue and White because they lost to Centenary in the playoffs last year, causing their season to be cut shorter than they had hoped.

“This win felt great. It was something that we talked about before today’s game because we had a chip on our shoulder since

last year didn’t turn out how we wanted it to,” Dallas said. “It was exciting, we played hard and did a good job with battling for what we wanted.”

“Today felt awesome,” sophomore Tyler Bond said. “We

JILL NAWOYSKI/ STAFF WRITER

wanted to come out and beat Centenary and we can’t wait to see them in the playoffs.”

The win felt even sweeter with the alumni staying to watch.

“This win feels like payback, especially with all the alumni here from last year watching,” sophomore Mohammad Konneh said. “This game is for them, we got the win for them.”

All in all the win brought the Cavaliers to 3-0 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference and 7-4 overall. The men hope to continue their success in their next home game against Baptist Bible on Oct. 14. Game time is set for 4 p.m.

A look inside the world of a runner

BY AMY HELD Photo Editor

Tyler Arizin has gotten off to a fast start beginning her freshman career as a new member of the Cabrini cross country team, leading the Cavaliers and receiving multiple awards.

Arizin grew up in Media, P.a.

She has two brothers, one of which is older than her and the other is younger, along with an older sister.

“I have been running since I was in kindergarten and have loved it ever since,” Arizin said. “I

started running in kindergarten because I wanted to run like the Olympians I saw on television.”

The English major strives to one day be a lawyer. In Arizin’s free time she likes to read or run.

She loves hanging out with her friends and doing service work around the community.

“Right now I’m working on giving back to the community and I’m mentoring kids in the Purple Feet Program, which is a project in my English class,” Arizin said. Arizin also works at the Dixon Center when she isn’t in class or running.

Arizin is a sophomore academically but she is considered a freshman when it comes to sports because this is her first year running collegiate cross country.

“Class always comes before running. Freshman year I didn’t run because I wanted my grades to be good,” Arizin said. “I’m really working on being a positive role model at Cabrini not just in sports, but in my studies as well.

This school has brought out the best in me and cross country is just starting to turn into something great.”

After only four meets into the season, Arizin has already received three awards. First, Arizin was named Cabrini’s

Student Athlete of the Week when she placed 17th overall at Albright Colleges’ Lights Out Invitational. In her next meet, the second of her career, she placed 10 out of 164 at Cairn University Highlander Invitational, running at a time of 25:06 on a 6K course.

Arizin would then be named to the CSAC Honor Roll. The most recent award she received was the ECAC Division III South Rookie of the week on Sept. 11, 2014.

Cross country head coach Joe Dare said, “Tyler has brought a lot of great positive energy to this team and brings a huge spark of intensity that the team was looking for.”

“She’s the fastest runner on the team. She is always cheering us on and making us go harder,” Hugo Ballon, freshman cross country runner said.

Arizin’s only complaint so far this season is that she is currently struggling with a minor leg injury. However, she is confident that her leg will be healthy for the next race.

“My goal for cross-country this year is to place in the conference,” Arizin said. She aspires to do well at the CSAC championship in November.

Women’s softball creating life long memories

BY HOWARD BLAKE III AND JASON WILLIAMS Sports Editors

With smiling faces and open arms, the Cabrini softball team held a press conference to welcome two of their newest players.

Nine-year-old Jordyn Zajac and her 12-year-old brother Coy have officially signed to be on the softball teams roster for this upcoming season.

Obviously Jordyn and Coy are not your average collegiate athletes but they have experienced hardships and bumps in the road just like any other athlete has.

Jordyn was diagnosed with Shwachman Diamond Syndrome (SDS), a condition that affects the body but more specifically a bone’s bone marrow. Bone marrow produces blood cells but SDS prevents the bone marrow from producing the necessary amount of white blood cells.

In return it makes the body vulnerable to sicknesses and at two and a half years young Jordyn was constantly tested for before finding out she had SDS. Before she dug into her ice cream sundae with her new teammates, Jordyn explained how excited she was in such a colorful and animated manner that only a nineyear-old could.

“I’d like to go outside and get some fresh air and just hangout,”

Jordyn said. “I feel like I’ll be a part of the family.”

While Jordyn stressed the importance of the team camaraderie, her brother Coy had a few aspirations of his own.

“I want to win championships and not lose a game,” Coy said.

When talking about his goals, he also mentioned how he felt to be a part of the team.

“It’s just amazing how it feels, the inside of your body just shakes randomly,” Coy said. “It feels good.”

Coy has had his bouts with illnesses as well. He was diagnosed with asthma and eventually had surgery to remove a plastic disc from a nebulizer that was blocking his airways.

With all of the adversity that Jordyn and Coy have faced, head softball Coach Mitchell Kline feels it is his duty to create memorable experiences for Jordyn and Coy that will last a lifetime.

“They’ll suit up. Before the game, the [players] put eye black on, so they’ll put eye black on the kids, they’ll wear their visors, they’ll wear their jerseys,” Kline said. “If there’s an opportunity that we can introduce them when we introduce the players, hopefully we can do that if it’s within NCAA rules.”

He stressed the importance of wanting his players to see the bigger picture. For Coach Kline, soft-

ball is “just a game.” He expects the best effort from his players but he knows that the situation at hand is far more important than just wins and losses.

that means being active in the community and engaging with the community and working with Coy and Jordan is a big part of that.”

The Zajac parents were there in support of their children. They are grateful for the opportunity and excited that their children will mesh with the team.

“It was nice to see that the college cares enough to reach out and brighten the day of these two kids,” Chris Zajac said.

“I think it says a lot about the [college] and what they stand for and what they’re trying to do.”

Kim Zajac added her thoughts and gave her three main focuses for her children.

“Camaraderie. An extended family, friendships,” Zajac said.

According to Koch, Cabrini has stepped up and is getting other sports teams involved and feel the need to continue to make a difference in their community.

“We’re doing it with other sports a well and it’s my hope that we continue to expand and this relationship with team impact will continue to grow,” Koch said.
