Author familyman speaks out against homelessness
Leadership institute hosts panel on human trafficking
BY MACKENZIE HARRIS Editor in Chief
BY JOEY RETTINO Managing Editor
A published Poet, Pulitzer Prize winner and co-author with a lawyer, grassroots legal aid, President of the Covenant House International co-wrote this summer reading book, Almost home: Helping Kids Move from Homelessness to Hope. Kevin Ryan, the President of the Covenant House International, has been a lawyer, grassroots legal aid and an activist for homeless young adults all around the world and on Tuesday, Oct. 21, Cabrini was privileged to welcome Ryan to campus. Ryan was this year’s Executive-in-Residence, where he came with his co-author, published poet and Pulitzer Prize winner, Tina Kelley to speak to students, alumni, faculty and staff about the effects homelessness has on children. The Covenant House serves more than 56,000 at-risk youth in 21 cities in the United States, Canada and Central America. In a world where there are 5,000 kids, in the United States alone, a year who die on the streets due to suicide or disease. “Real heroes are usually the ones concerned with the least glamorous of things,” Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory Booker said. “In fact, I’ve come to believe strongly that the most heroic or biggest thing we can do in any day is a small act of kindness, decency or love.” Ryan was ecstatic to speak to students about the process of writing Almost Home, while speaking out against homelessness in young adults. “We wanted to be able to reflect how high the stakes are for young people at this juncture in their lives,” Ryan said. “There is a darkness that looms so largely for a lot of young people and that the ability for young people to hold on or continue to climb, up that ladder - across that bridge from poverty to opportunity, isn’t easy. It has a real set of challenges associated with it that claims lives.” Homelessness is an issue that continues to plague our society every single day.
The Cabrini community received incite on human trafficking both domestically and internationally and how officials are fighting the topic. “Figure out the thing you can do right now and do that,” Kevin Ryan, president of Covenant House and Executive-in-Residence, speaking about ways to fight human trafficking, said. “And then do a bigger thing when you can.” The Tuesday, Oct. 21, panel included Ryan, Hugh Organ, assistant director of Covenant House Philadelphia, Pearl Kim, Delaware County assistant district attorney, and Sarah Charles, district director for Senator Daylin, who could not attend. Each member of the panel offered a different angel of human trafficking. While Ryan gave a general example of both national and local perspectives, Organ spoke on working with victims of human trafficking and hotbeds right here in Delaware County. “This [human trafficking] is not a big city problem, this is an everywhere problem,” Organ said. “You can drive down certain streets in Philadelphia where kids are being sold on street corners every single day of the week. At the airports there are young women getting sold out of hotel rooms, Asian-run salon parlors, all over the city and all over the state of Pennsylvania.” Once people are spared from the human traffickers throughout the state, it is the job of people like Kim to prosecute the traffickers for their crimes. Compared to Organ, Kim explained underlining details about trafficking that may have not been know to the audience, such as the problems that they once faced on the prosecuting end, and the ease that it can take a pimp or trafficker to coerce a runaway to partake in particular actions requested of them. People like Charles, have made Kim’s job easier in recent years by helping pass legislation to make prosecuting traffickers more simple and even make the punishments for traffickers more just to the crimes they have committed.
What’s up, Doc? BY ERICA ABBOTT News Editor The sounds of bagpipes and drums signaled the entrance of the man who was about to become Cabrini’s eighth president. On Saturday, Oct. 25, Dr. Don Taylor was inaugurated as the first male president of Cabrini College. “What most attracted me [to Cabrini] was Cabrini’s mission and the students,” Taylor said in his inaugural speech. “Being the only Cabrinian college in the world is an advantageous distinction.The Cabrini name is known around the globe.” Inauguration began with a slideshow of old photos of the college juxtaposed with photos of the campus current day. Taking over as president, a video was also produced with people from all over campus welcoming Taylor to campus. “We love this college,” Mario Marino, Student Government Association President, said in his speech. “You’re taking
the leadership of a great legacy. You have our support.” Part of inauguration also included the presentations of symbolic elements, which include the passing of the college charter, the mace, and the chain of office that features the college’s seal. “This is a day of great promise,” Tom Nerney, chair of the Board of Trustees, said. “By the authority of the Board of Trustees, I confer upon you the presidency of Cabrini College,” Nerney said, placing the chain of office around Taylor’s neck. Despite being inaugurated just recently, Taylor’s first day on campus as the new president was July 1. He has been setting goals for the college since then. One big goal Taylor said he feels as already been accomplished with his time as president is getting a strategic agenda in place.

THURSDAY OCT. 30, 2014
Breast cancer receives more attention than Lupus In 2014 alone, 40,000 women have been estimated to die due to breast cancer. About one percent of all breast cancer cases occur in men and in 2014, there have been more than 2.8 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S., according to breastcancer.org. Breast cancer is a disease that has affected millions of people and since 1990, Susan G. Komen investments have helped reduce the breast cancer mortality rate by 34 percent. But what about other diseases that also affect thousands and millions of people everyday? The month of October is not just dedicated to breast cancer, it is shared with domestic violence, suicide awareness, Hispanic heritage
month, LGBT history month and so many others. According to lupus.org, “Our research estimates that at least 1.5 million Americans have Lupus.” Lupus is, unfortunately, a common disease that attacks the immune system. It flares when the symptoms worsen and a patient feels ill and in remissions, the symptoms can improve and patients can feel better. So when athletes and stars advocate for breast cancer awareness by supporting the color pink, why aren’t there other colors right next to it? When the National Football League players come out on the field in October, why isn’t there a pink sock on one leg and a purple sock on the other
to show support to people diagnosed with Lupus? “It is believed that 5 million people throughout the world have a form of Lupus,” according to lupus.org. Susan G. Komen’s total revenue in 2013 was $263,673,268. Lupus Foundation of America’s total revenue in 2012 was $14,509,470. The numbers are a drastic difference and so are the number of people who are affected by both diseases, but should one disease be treated differently just because it helps more people? No. Yes, Susan G. Komen has helped save more lives of breast cancer victims than Lupus Foundation of America, but neither have a cure. It is obviously affecting our society in a negative way,
so why isn’t Lupus treated the same as breast cancer? Now that professional athletes support breast cancer victims, how can they only support that one disease? Our own school only supports breast cancer victims through our pink games. What qualifications are there to have athletes wear pink during their games? It’s good to speak out about diseases, but is it now just an act of publicity? A way to make money or a way to actually speak out about the cause?

Monday, Oct. 20: Obama Sees an Iran Deal That Could Avoid Congress
An accord with Iran could prove to be a highlight in the Obama administration. An agreement needs to be made as it is vital to curtail the development of nuclear weapons in Iran. President Obama has the authority to suspend sanctions against Iran in order to come to a compromise. The suspensions, for the most part, would not need congressional approval. The sanctions have decreased oil profits and hindered banking with the West.
A gunman in Canada killed a corporal that was watching over the tomb of the unknown soldier at the National War Memorial. The gunman came through the National Parliament building and fired several times before he was killed. Canada is an ally of the U.S. against ISIS and this tragic incident marked the second fatal assault in Ottawa in three days. There are suspicions that the shootings were in direct opposition of the alliance wither carried out by a Canadian citizen or an organized plot stemming from ISIS.

Public officials have tried to mitigate the hysteria that Ebola in the news has caused. Yet this new policy goes beyond federal guidelines and each city’s health department was not consulted.

Kevin Ryan speaking about “Almost Home.”
“My favorite part was hearing the point of view of Kevin Ryan on the atmosphere of the Covenant House,” freshman, Mary Kate Morris said. “It was great meeting the writers and hearing the goals that they have for young adults who need support and inspiration.” After months of reading the summer reading, freshman finally got to book a face to the words written by such powerful, motivated and compassionate writers. During the summer, freshman were asked to write an essay with prompts about the book. Future political science major, Dan Pelosi won this year’s Summer Reading Essay Award. “It felt great winning the contest because I never really considered myself to be much of a writer, I never won anything like that in high school or grade school and it also made me extremely
proud and happy to kick off college by winning an essay contest,” Pelosi said. “Kevin congratulated me several times and was actually a really down to earth guy and I enjoyed talking to him.” Despite Pelosi’s win the question remains, what about homelessness? “I don’t know what to do about this, I don’t know what to do about the fact that there are 2 million homeless teenagers on the streets of America, I don’t know what to do about the fact that parents kick their kids out because they are gay, I don’t know what to do about the fact that 30,000 kids age out of foster care and don’t have a place to living, I don’t know what to do about that,” Ryan said. “But we knew that while there wasn’t one thing that one of us can do, there’s a lot that all of us can do.” @M_ROMAINEHARRIS

Working with body image issues in Panel on women’s LGBT youth populations BY LEONARD BROCK Marketing and Circulation The stigma surrounding LGBT was broken down to the audience about the issues that these people each day. Paige Walker facilitated the workshop. That is to go with doing her best to make those in the room comfortable and enjoy the discussion. It helped to get people to corporate when she asked if anyone had any questions? Walker said, “Adolescents are from the ages 12-24 “come out.” Feeling connected to a large community is all is wished from society.” The focus was on creating understanding. One of the strategies was giving a paper with terms. Another was seeing how much knowledge people held. Random hands went up to answer the questions and shown they knew some of the definitions. One of the words that many people did not understand was “cis-
gender.” Cisgender differs from transgender. Cisgender is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. When transgender is a term used to describe people who, for the most part, identity as the gender they were assigned at birth. People from each sides of the Widener Lecture Hall raised their hands to tell stories they encountered as being individuals that are straight and being mistaken for something they are not. That included talks about the eating disorders that women and bisexuals struggle with, youth social issues, PTSD, and etc. All of the elements from Paige as being enthusiastic, energetic, social work, and a social justice activist was shown at this workshop as she carried the torch with many others in creating and changing society on this topic. @LBROCK946

Forum helps envision the future of nonprofits BY PATRICK WHALEN Staff Writer Businesses need to learn how to collaborate with youth in order to be successful. Members of the Cabrini community learned from distinguished nonprofit leaders in arts and humanities, education, social services and more. The event was sponsored by the Nerney Leadership Institute. Executive Director of the Nerney Leadership Institute, Maria Vizcarrondo, held a panel of professional nonprofit leaders to examine the future of nonprofit. The most talked about topic throughout the panel was the importance of technology and the way it has shaped the manner in which we live our lives. “Technology is absolutely critical to our future, it is here to stay. We communicate differently, we
walk different and we talk different,” Nancy Albilal, vice president of development at Foundation Center in New York, said. Albilal also expressed that social media has caused us to not know when our days begin and end. It is a never ending source throughout the world. As technology continues to shape the way we live, it is important to be able to adapt. Adaptability is one of the key benefactors in how successful one can be in the nonprofit world. “It is important to not sit back and say ok well this is how we’ve done it for years and this is how we will continue to do it. I think it’s important to make sure you are always looking at the next thing and the new way to handle your services,” Sybille Damas, chief operations officer at Congreso, said. Skills such as adaptability is a must have if one is looking to
invest in nonprofit. The most important skill that was discussed was leadership. Ronald Cowell, President of the Education Policy and Leadership Center, examined the definition of leadership. “Leadership is doing something that causes other people to do something that they otherwise would not do,” Cowell said. Leaders learn from other leaders and then become leaders themselves. However, just having leadership skills is not enough in the nonprofit world. “Leaders will have to learn to collaborate with other organizations to ensure the success of their organizations,” Nancy DeLucia, Executive Director of Hatboro-Horsham Educational Foundation, said. Not only was the collaboration and communication with other organizations stressed but also the communication with the
youth. The youth have grown up with the advances in technology and are caught up to speed with it, whereas some adults are still adapting to the changes. “Invest in the youth. We cannot afford to lose them. They are our future assets,” Anita Kulick, President and CEO of Educating Communities for Parenting, said. The youth are utilizing social media every day. They are the individuals that will shape the future of nonprofit. By using social media, one can get nonprofit organizations the recognition they need in order to become a relevant item in society. It is the leaders of the nonprofit world’s responsibility to center themselves around the youth to ensure the success of their organizations. @PATRICKWHALEN12

With the focus on women’s health, panelists of the Body Image Conference showed that the human body can change in many ways throughout life, both good and bad. One speaker, a cancer survivor, discussed the changes cancer causes in the body. “My body is a country and it has been invaded,” Jessica Mangir, Cabrini alumna, opened. In Sickness and In Health: Beauty and the Body was the seventh panel during the Body Image Conference that took place on Cabrini’s campus from Wednesday, Oct. 22 through Thursdau, Oct. 23. Panel seven featured three presenters that expressed their research through different mediums. Mangir started the panel with an experiential piece centered around living life with cancer. Diagnosed with stage three colon cancer when she was 25 years old, Mangir just recently finished her chemotherapy treatments before presenting at the conference. Using speech as her medium, she presented an older English piece on breast cancer and reflections of her own battle as well as her mother’s multiple battles. Meagan May continued the series using art as her medium. An art history major from Texas A&M University, May shared her knowledge alongside the artwork of Hannah Wilke and Jo Spence. Wilke and Spence are both wellknown photographers, known for their work of documenting the effects of cancer on the human body. Maria Monastra, senior English major, closed the panel with a speech focused on women with post-partum bodies and pop culture’s influence on their self-image. “Pregnancy isn’t disempowering,” Monastra said. Regardless of what may happen to your body during life, Mangir summed up the panel in four words: “You just keep going.” @DLUNER13

Delta Xi Phi makes strides for breast cancer BY SAMANTHA JACOBS AND JADE MOTTO Staff Writers Raising awareness for cancer is taking on a new meaning. On Saturday, Oct. 18 Philadelphia hosted the Making Strides”breast cancer event. Thousands of people from all over attended this event and Cabrini’s Delta Xi Phi chapter was there to participate. “This year the walk was a little different, there was a stage with a wonderful opening ceremony, a survivors parade before the walk and a stretching session lead by some cheerleaders from a nearby school,” Veronica Smith, Delta Xi Phi member, said. “Everyone participating was very excited to be supporting the American Cancer Society at the walk.” Since 1985 October has been deemed breast cancer awareness month, and millions of people across the country have and still continue to participate in events in order to raise awareness of the disease. In a world in which it is almost impossible to have never been affected by cancer, Delta Xi Phi
attended the event with a goal that was less about awareness and had more to do with striving to keep people from becoming bored with the subject. “It’s sad that something that sad has become normalized,” Dana Millio, Delta Xi Phi member, said. Delta Xi Phi does not take this lightly and continues to participate in Making Strides, Relay for Life, and a number of other events throughout the year. They look forward to the Making Strides event as a chance to support the philanthropy of their sorority. “The thing that I really like most about Making Strides is being there and seeing all of these people from all over the area coming together,” Millio said. “They have their own stories and it’s really amazing to see how these people are walking with a purpose.” “I like seeing the survivors at the breast cancer walk,” Sarah Bedard, Delta Xi Phi member, said. “You’re doing it for them cause they’re the ones that went through it.” Whether you are a survivor,
current patient or a supporter ,everyone at the event was there for the same purpose. It allowed strangers to connect in a special way and share their experiences. With breast cancer being the most common cancer among women in the United States, there are plenty of stories out there waiting to be told. “Humanizing it and making it something personal, not just showing it’s some terrible illness, is the aspect of [the walk] that needs to be addressed more so than just wearing pink,” Millio said. Making Strides helps to keep people involved with more than just fighting breast cancer. It allows friends and family members affected by the disease to work on something together. “The walk is also special to the sisters of Delta Xi Phi because we get to spend a few hours just talking with each other while we walk,” Smith said. “We share funny stories and tell jokes or talk about classes and our families.”

Think pink raises awareness for breast cancer BY THOMAS BRESLIN Staff Writer
AMARRA BOONE/PHOTO EDITOR
Cabrini College ran an event to help yourself and others become more knowledgeable about breast cancer awareness. The event was held on Oct. 23 at the Health Hut right outside CAVS Corner for students and anyone that wanted to learn more about breast cancer. October is known to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Cabrini has helped raise awareness. Everyone has heard of the disease breast cancer but many forget or do not take the time to learn the symptoms or signs of breast cancer. The health hut at Cabrini College on Oct. 23, handed out pamphlets and information regarding what you need to know about this horrible disease. Holding events
like this is one way to raise awareness but around the world people have found many ways to increase education covering breast cancer. You can become a Sponsor and partner with a nationally recognized charity, start a charity or donate to a charity. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Cabrini College has contributed to help raise awareness for breast cancer. “This event was helpful because many women think it won’t happen to them, but if you read more about it then it can make someone more cautious,” Megan Savage, sophomore accounting major,a said. In 2014, there were more than 2.8 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. @THOMASPBRESLIN CONTINUE READING ONLINE
Inauguration at Cabrini welcomes its 8th president CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
“True leadership is about being bold,” Taylor said in his speech. “It’s not about thinking inside the box, but without one.” This includes his Cabrini 2020 plan, which includes a roadmap for growth in enrollment and retention, recruiting a more diversified student body, placing all students in LLCs and staying true to Mother Cabrini’s education of the heart. “[We] want to check off accomplishments one by one, year after year,” Taylor said in his speech. “Failure is simply not an option.” Some of the projects Taylor still hopes to accomplish before the end of this year are being where they need to be on renovations to the Dixon House, which will be getting used next fall for
student housing, and staying on track to do the groundbreaking for phase one of the Dixon Center addition. By the end of the year, Taylor wants to make sure Cabrini is where they need to be on these improvement projects. Taylor said he never even thinks about the fact that he is the first male president of the college. “The only reason that it’s symbolic at all, at least to me, is because there are still certain perceptions out in the greater I-95 corridor, some people still think that Cabrini is an all women’s college.” Cabrini has been co-ed since 1972 so raising brand awareness of the college was of importance to Taylor. “Mother Cabrini is known worldwide and she was the first American-citizen saint. She’s the patroness of immigrants so that name and that
brand is known worldwide. I’m sure probably a majority of our students aren’t even aware of that.” The inauguration included an installation ceremony, a reception and mass. Afterwards, a dinner was held for family and friends. Joan Kleckner, assistant to the president, said that she was very impressed by how Taylor sees the whole. He wanted a family-style dinner and the entire day was about it being shared by everyone. “He wanted [the day] to be fun.” When asked what his favorite part of being president so far was, Taylor said, “Hands down, interacting with the students...It’s about the students.” That could be seen at the reception. Students and faculty lined up in Grace Hall to talk with
and take photos with the newly-inaugurated president. It was as if people were waiting to meet a celebrity, the line stretching through the Grace Hall boardroom. Some students even took selfies. At the installation ceremony, Eileen Currie, fifth president of Cabrini, offered the closing benediction. She said that we celebrated that Taylor loves Cabrini College even more than we do and part of Taylor’s mission is to ensure and deliver the Cabrini promise. “As the first students believed in Mother Ursula, today’s students are counting on us,” Taylor said. “Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.” @ERICA_ABBOTT

Students deserve a longer fall break Fall break was too short
BY LILLIAN HURLEY Staff Writer
On Oct. 10 we didn’t have class and the school called this the dean’s holiday. We all knew that this was our sad little fall break. The transition from the long break of summer vacation to hectic fall semester is only achieved with an insane amount of caffeine and the time management skills of a professional. In the summer, most of us were just focused on sleeping and relaxing because we knew once school started those memories of sleep would be all we had to get us through sleepless nights. Now, our days are filled with papers, projects, tests, work, internships and oh yeah a social life. Without breaks we would all be over sleeping and throwing our tuition money out the window. Even worse, we would be institutionalized at the closest psychiatric ward. Breaks from college allow us to join the real world for a little. They remind us of the simpler times of high school. When the workload is compared to college, we shouldn’t have complained about anything. “Fall break was a joke,” junior psychology major, Aundrec Powell said. Powell makes the point that most students don’t even have
class on Fridays so it isn’t a break for most to campus. “ I had a test due online that day anyway, so I didn’t get a break from school work.” Powell said. Compared to surrounding schools such as Villanova University, other Cabrini students would agree that our fall break was “a joke.” For their fall break Villanova had Oct. 13 to Oct. 17 off. One day may not seem like a lot but to zombie college students, it
are we trying to study for our finals in-between bits of turkey dinner. During winter break we should be focusing on regaining our mental health and preparing for the next challenges that we will be faced with in the next semester. But in reality we get asked “How is school going?’’ by distant family members and share college war stories with our friends about horrible group projects
CREATIVE COMMONS
Students are sleep deprived and trying to get through midterms and assignments. Yet fall break was only one Friday off. Should students have a longer break? could mean the world. USAtoday.com surveyed young adults about their stress levels. From this survey they filtered out the top five stress sources. Out of 100 percent, 76 percent of stress is from work. College students today find schoolwork more stressful than money, relationships and family. According to these statistics college students could benefit from as much of a break they can possible get. But when college students are on break can they even relax? During Thanksgiving break do we have time to reconnect with our family and friends, or
we worked on. Sophomore psychology major, Samantha Cimarelli, uses the breaks from school to spend time with her family. “My family means everything to me, when I’m at home I feel a lot calmer.” said Cimarelli. It’s no surprise that college students are stressed out and we take any chance that we can get to relax. When well rested, most people learn their best. But to many students, the whole point of college is to learn how to function in society no matter what life throws our way. @LILLIANMHURLEY
to be considered as a school break
BY DELEON FLOYD Staff Writer
Classes were cancelled for one day and one day only during fall break. Classes began again on Monday. This was considered a day off and not much of a break from school. Other schools had off on Monday as well as Friday, class resumed on Tuesday. If the day off was not called fall break, maybe students would not have been as upset. The term fall break was extremely misleading. Most students do not attend classes on Saturday and Sunday, Also, the students who regularly are off Friday were robbed as well. A break from school means a break from classes. Fall break should have started earlier in the week. If classes were cancelled Wednesday-Monday, it would seem like a reasonable amount of time to enjoy life and just relax. The day off wasn’t sufficient time to catch up on school work. An extra day was not enough. Students have jobs. This period was not a generous amount. Going to class and then work is strenuous. Waking up early in the morning for work and then attending class at night may be even more exhausting. Students have busy schedules. Around the midterm of the semester, stress levels rise, because of the work load andthe need to study for exams. College athletes put
time and tremendous effort into maintaining school and sports, not to mention the student athletes who are employed. Relaxation, toss it out the window, you cannot relax. If students wanted to make any plans they could not. Why bother? Ideas of visiting love ones, taking a trip, or just a little me time were all trashed. Winter break and spring break are true to the definition of the term break. Winter break is usually close to a month off between semesters. Spring break is only about a week, but it is absolutely more than a day. The days off for Thanksgiving are fine. We have a decent amount of time to enjoy the holidays. There really should not be a longer break between Oct and Nov. Even though times are hard and stress becomes a factor, the school should just let us stick it out instead of teasing us with one day. If there is going to be a break make it known. “I did not even know we had a fall break,” said Chauntevia Flowers, senior criminology major. “One day of no classes was not enough time.” Midterm time and finals week bare the hardest burden on students. We would benefit with more than a day off. It would allow everyone from faculty to students a recovery period. It will enable everyone to refresh and restart. “The friday did not effect me because I already did not have class,” said Frances Mota, junior marketing major, “I could of used a few more days and I have been very busy and tired.” @DELEONFLOYD1315
Breast cancer awareness trumps other illness organizations
BY RENEE OLIVER Staff Writer
The month of October excites most people because Halloween is soon approaching and fall is officially beginning. Also, October is widely known and supported as National Breast Cancer Awareness month. You would literally have to be living under a rock to not see an athlete, celebrity or regular citizen donning a shade of the color pink in honor to raise awareness. In 1985, national breast cancer awareness month was founded as a partnership. The partnership was formed between the American Cancer Society and the Pharmaceutical Division of Imperial Chemical Industries. The main objective at the start was to promote mammography as the most potent weapon against breast cancer. 29 years later, this is an annual campaign that people all over recognize and help bring awareness to. The notable color pink in October is instantly known as awareness of breast cancer. You may wonder how did this color get chosen and why?
Well, a part of the reason why is because it is a great marketing tool. Back in 1991 the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink ribbons to its participants in a race for breast cancer survivors. It was derived from the popular red ribbon of aids awareness. Two years later in 1993 the Breast Cancer Research Foundation was established and then appointed the pink ribbon as its symbol. Ever since then the symbol has been cemented as

Women in the Susan G. Komen race for the cure. showing support for breast cancer awareness. The color pink in western countries is considered feminine, but because of this the ribbon has flourished as a proxy of goodwill towards women as a whole. Meaning, by simply wearing a pink ribbon, it shows that a person cares about women in general. When you see NFL players wearing pink every Sunday, the George Washington Bridge in New York glowing in pink, or the fountain at Love Park in Philly spraying out pink water, these are all different ways of recognizing
a disease that is the second leading cause of death in women. As a female I obviously think and agree that it deserves all the publicity and funding that it gets. All of us women need to be aware. It does make me wonder, though, what is it about breast cancer that causes so much attention and awareness, as opposed to other diseases that do not receive the same amount? Lung cancer is one of the most deadly diseases in the world. Until I researched it, I did not know that November is lung cancer awareness month. Yet, when I think of October breast cancer awareness quickly comes to mind. I am sure I am not the only one who did not realize that but why do we not recognize other diseases with the same regard as we recognize breast cancer? I think that as a society we all get caught up in one aspect of something and totally fail to realize that their are about many other illnesses that need and deserve that same attention as well. Realistically, not every single disease in the world is going to get the same ample amount of awareness that breast cancer does. I get that. Still, I think it is our duty as people to try and bring attention to as many diseases as we possibly can. @RENEEOLIVER4423

Halloween is a chance to be someone else, if only for a night
BY JADE MOTTO Staff Writer

costumes often say and do things they probably wouldn’t say or do in their everyday life. It’s very satisfying to step into another character for a while especially for a grown ups. Halloween seems to serve fiction beliefs for many children and adults because of how we were brought up in the past and family traditions. It continues to be so popular because it fills our basic need to address the mysteries that frighten us and even celebrate them with others. It is a real testament to the power of Halloween traditions that they have been passed down and embraced by so many generations. Some people live for Halloween night like it is Christmas.
People in costumes often say and do things they probably wouldn’t say or do in their everyday life. It’s very satisfying to step into another character for a while especially for a grown ups.
On Oct. 31, tens of millions of Americans will celebrate Halloween by going trick or treating or attending costume parties. For most young people, Halloween was all about a fun evening with friends and dressing up and eating too much candy. Now it is a holiday that is becoming more popular than ever. Every year, Halloween just keeps getting bigger and bigger. But as you get older and start to watch horror films, a darker side comes out. As you get older, people like to celebrate it with the horror films they see and believe. Even their nightmares that come alive on Halloween night. I realize, as you get older it is all about psyching yourself out, and making yourself scared of something you know is not real. When I was growing up, most children would dress up as ghosts, cartoon characters or super heroes on Halloween. It was all about the “13 Nights of Halloween” on ABC family, or deciding who I wanted to be, finding the perfect outfit and going trick or treating with a big group of my friends. Now in 2014, Halloween has become much more edgy and much more seductive. As you get older, it is not about scaring people it is about impressing people. Girls tend to wear fewer clothes, while the boys dress up as a joke. I believe people love Halloween so much because it is the one night out of the year you can dress up as someone else. Why do we enjoy dressing up so much? The pleasure is all in playacting. Kids look forward to Halloween because they get to inhabit a character, whether it be a frightening figure or a superheros. Adults also enjoy dressing up for similar reasons as well. Putting on a mask lets people step outside of themselves for an evening. People in

Subway ad tells women to get skinny for sexy costumes princess warrior,” “hot devil,” “sassy teacher” and “foxy fullback.” The idea that looking good is portrayed as needing a sexy costume and a certain body type to fill the costumes is pretty upsetting.

Halloween is not an excuse for being sexist. Subway has been under fire for its most recent Halloween commercial. While it has long been suggested that it provides healthy food options, its decision to create a new “summer body” campaign for Halloween takes a jab at women. Apparently being pestered about bathing suit season did not cause enough body shaming and insecurity to the company. Society in and of itself places women behind men time and time again. It’s a mentality that is deeply rooted in history. Unfortunately, in 21st century America, ideas of body shaming women because they don’t have the “ideal” look still persists. Without this look, society tells you that you are not pretty, attractive or sexy. it is easy to see how today’s media flooded world is placing more pressure than ever before on people. Eating disorders such as anorexia are on the rise according to the National Eating Disorder Association The idea behind the ad is that Subway’s food is the healthy option just like they have always claimed, but it is told by a woman claiming that eating at Subway is the only way that she will be able to have the thin body Halloween costumes require. The costumes the commercial uses as an example are “attractive nurse,” “spicy red-riding hood,” “viking
CREATIVE COMMONS
Subway’s new ad for Halloween insists that women slim down to fit into sexy costumes. really hurt a woman’s mindset about her body. Promoting health and even being skinny are not offensive or wrong by any means. The problem with this commercial is that it suggests that the only way to be sexy, the only way to even look attractive, is to be skinny and wear revealing clothing. If Subway were to take Channing Tatum in his “Magic Mike” costumes the outcome would not have been any better. It would have shown to men that in order to be considered attractive you need to eat Subway because it’s the healthy choice that will help you to maintain a lean body. Unfortunately though, only women were made the target of this commercial making the body shaming sex-
ist. Men were not told they did not look good; women were. After Time magazine blasted the ad saying “Thank your lucky thigh gap the sandwich chain, which recent research asserts is just as unhealthy as McDonald’s, is here to remind you that it’s your moral obligation to stay skinny,” the ad was removed from the company’s page on YouTube. The irony of the fact that eating Subway may be just as unhealthy as McDonald’s in the end is mind-blowing. Enabling girls to think they must be thin in order to look good and then falsely claiming their food will allow girls to achieve that goal when it would do the exact opposite shows even more lack of concern from the company to its customers. If Subway thought its commercial was an innocent attempt at humor, then why did it pull the ad? I wish that I could say that it was because they understood they did something wrong, but I think it has a lot more to do with trying to cover up the negative attention and try to prevent more people from learning of the commercial. As a leader with a lot of influence Subway’s opinions can influence society in major ways, but this time power fell into the wrong hands. It is because of commercials and other forms of media like this advertisement that sexist ideas continue through society. I think that supporting the action that more people need to speak out like Time magazine did and continue to work towards allowing women to feel confident without some idea of the perfect body plaguing their minds.

First annual Breast Workout Ever brings in large support BY LEONARD BROCK Staff Writer
There were 63 women who attended and celebrated, in the fight against Breast Cancer through exercising and donating. The first annual outdoor “Breast Workout Ever” at Lucille Roberts. The event was held in King of Prussia mall parking lot. Patti Bosco and her daughter Kelly Bosco, the gym owners, made the atmosphere of the setting very welcoming. They introduced themselves and explained to whoever came what was going on at the event. There were t-shirts sold to raise money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. 400 dollars was raised for the organization. It was free for anyone to join the various workouts from different instructors, and have fun. The free workouts included Zumba, Butt & Gutt, Chickboxing, & Yoga.

There were prizes given to those who brought raffle tickets in which they received prizes. There were men and women that came out to give their donations for the cause. Amanda Eckenroad who used to work at the Dixon Center here at Cabrini was one of the winners. For her ,“It was great having fun and doing something for a better cause.” When asking one of the organizers Ryan Skellenger, if this was how he expected the event to be he said “Yes. It is a great community surrounding the gym. Plus, it is a great cause. It’s great to help people.”

Cabrini students feel stressed but get their work done BY HELEN MASCHMEYER Staff Writer
“Eat, sleep, study, repeat” is the day-to-day process most college students live by even when sleep is not so prevalent. “I feel like I became an insomniac,” said Valerie Ruiz, a senior communication and Spanish minor. Each student is at a different point of their college career dealing with different levels of stress. A single semester can end up being lighter than another but when does the work load start to become too much and start piling up? From time management to procrastination each students tends to do what it takes to get things finished, even if that means no sleep. “There are weeks I do not sleep enough,” Kim Miralda, a sophomore social work major said. Taking on an 18-credit course load, assisting as a classroom coach and working a seven-hour week as a desk assistant, “I get stressed, but get it done,” said Miralda. Juggling school along with an internship or a job can be tough when you still need to find time to put aside for school work. Ruiz said “I have good time management skills so I make sure I get my work done. It is all about balance.” Ruiz works a 15-hour week as a video production specialist on top of a 15.5-credit class schedule. Time management is extremely crucial when working an internship alongside school. It is more common for juniors and seniors to try to get an internship on top of school to gain experience before graduating. Not every Cabrini student takes on a busy schedule leaving plenty of time to manage school work. Andrea Topa, an IST computer science sophomore said, “I am comfortable where I am at, I would not want to take more classes.” At 15-credits, being able to manage classes is not hard for Topa. Keeping an easy and comfortable schedule allows her to live an enjoyable lifestyle on campus. Grasping school work and other activities, Briana Hodge, a sophomore Psychology major, is able to handle her 15-credit class schedule. “I babysit every now and then and go to the gym when I can,” said Hodge. Being able to mange time and study on a day to day basis, Hodge would not want to take more classes because she is comfortable where she is. No matter what the schedule is, Cabrini students happened to agree on one statement. That statement was that they always get there work done. Whatever it takes, Cabrini students go the length to make sure getting assignments in on time and studying is a top priority. Even if this means loosing a little sleep on the way, staying on top of assignments is important to each and every student at Cabrini.

Students celebrate Fall Fest presented by CAP board BY ABIGAIL KEEFE Staff Writer
The programming coordinator for the Center of Student Engagement and Leadership thinks that academics are so important to the Cabrini experience as well as student life. “At these events, students have fun and kind of get a break to relax but also that’s their time to be social and make connections with other students.” They also learn, whether it’s pumpkin painting [or whatever the event may be] and the students who actually plan these events get to learn things like event planning and how to do team work [as well as] responsibilities so to be fun and social but also students are learning at the same time.” Lisa Podolsky said. Fall Fest was held on Friday, Oct. 17, at 9 p.m. in the Grace Hall Boardroom and was created by the CAP Board, Campus Activities and Programming, which brings social, cultural and educational programs to the school. It was perfect timing for students to have a place to unwind and relax since it was right around mid-terms when stress tends to be very high. The event lasted for a few hours and consisted of students who came together for laughs and conversations as well as watching Halloween movies, participating in competitive Halloween games and even painted pumpkins however they chose to do so. It was an allaround great place to meet new people and spread some early Halloween spirit. One participant and student, Stanley Thompson, said “I’m enjoying my time here. I've never seen the movie Hocus Pocus before so this is a new experience for me and I’m enjoying my company with my friends.” Podolsky mentioned that although she has only been working in her new position as Programming Coordinator for roughly a year, this is the first year
that she knows of the Fall Fest occurring for the students. She also said that they learn what to improve with annual events in time by having participants complete evaluation forms. This is in order to make the activities more and more appealing each year for students while possibly switching things up to improve the events. Another participant and student, Mary Kate Moran, said “I’m enjoying painting my pumpkin in an abstract way instead of the traditional painted pumpkin face.” Others also proudly showed off their bright and colorfully designed painted pumpkins as all were getting excited for the upcoming spooky holiday.

‘Friends’ Central Perk coffee shop: nostalgic at the show's 20th anniversary BY ERICA ABBOTT News Editor
It was a rainy day taking the train up to New York City to experience some “Friends” nostalgia. The show, which premiered in 1994, was celebrating its 20th anniversary and to celebrate, Eight O’Clock Coffee created a pop-up coffee shop to mark the milestone and commenorate. One shop was open for a limited time from Sept. 17 to Oct. 18. Before ultimate “Friends” fans could experience the café, however, they had to wait in line for longer than even most tourist attractions take. Arriving in SoHo, the café was in plain sight. What was not in plain sight though was the multitude of people lining the streets, waiting to get the chance to get inside. From the back of the line, it was a three and a half hour wait just to get to the front. Workers who were maintaining the lines donned Central Perk shirts with the words, “How you brewin’?” on the back. While waiting for the line to move more than 10 feet, devoted fans sung classic “Friends” songs, such as “I’ll Be There For You” and “Smelly Cat” under the scaffolding of the SoHo sidewalks. The sun had come out and it now felt more like a fall day. Once inside the small café, the senses were bombarded: the smell of Eight O’Clock Coffee’s limited edition Central Perk roast permeated the room, the voices of the many tourists all crammed into the small space filled the room, everyone searching to capture the perfect picture of all the “Friends” memorabilia. There were many elements that brought back feelings of nostalgia. Photos from all 10 seasons covered the entirety of one wall, well-known props were in full supply as well including the Gellar cup, an outfit from every main character, Pat the dog, Monica and Chandler’s wedding vows and even the iconic orange couch that the cast spent many hours sitting and chatting. There was a lot to take in among props, souvenirs and memories of Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey and Ross. The pop-up coffee shop was great for all “Friends” super fans. But not all was perfect by any means.
Inside, space was tight. Once you got over to the orange couch, a heightened feeling of hurriedness to make room for the next person waiting to get a photo on the couch loomed. Another thing that was a little disappointing was the area where the coach was set up. Since it was a temporary location, a background photo of the window seat where Lisa Kudrow’s character Phoebe would sing was used instead of adding to the overall atmosphere with something a little more realistic. Once you got your photo taken, it felt as though you were being rushed out. The last of the prop seen right next to the exit was the yellow peephole frame encased in plastic—a clip from “Friends” being played on top of it. On the street, people complained of the taste of the free coffee the café was giving out, while people wanting to buy souvenirs had to wait in a separate line out front and go back in before buying anything. This was a bit inefficient, especially after waiting for over three hours just to get inside. These minor nuisances did not take away from the overall experience though. Within its last few days of being open, there was another big “Friends” announcement. It was announced that all 10 seasons of “Friends” was coming to Netflix and creatively used Central Perk to promote the news. In its promo, James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther the barista in the show, channeled his character once again. The Rembrandts played their song “I’ll Be There For You” while Tyler, seemingly annoyed at the song he knows all too well, eventually begins dancing along. The pros really outweighed the cons in this visit to Central Perk. It was a fun experience for all fans who were there for the show in its 10-year run and it did not disappoint. A general feeling of nostalgia filled the taxi heading back to Penn Station.

‘Bitches Ain’t Shit But Ho’s and Tricks’ BY CHRISTLE GEHMAN Lifestyles Editor
Feminism has been largely about white women, according to Allison Clark, Cabrini alumna. Clark feels that it is important to change the way that the topic of feminism is talked about. Clark opened up Panel 4, "Bitches Ain't Shit but Ho's and Tricks", at the Body Image Conference held at Cabrini College on Oct. 23. Words have power and the language with which we address women, as well as one's self, is important. She made a point to remind the audience, women of all ages and a few men as well, that language affects women and feminism as a whole. The second presenter, Sarah Milligan, a senior at Villanova University, discussed the issue of the ever-changing concept of the selfie. Milligan called selfie-taking in general a form of "attention seeking self objectification." She pointed out that even girls as young as 12-years-old have already started to partake in this potentially destructive habit. Milligan
talked about how girls use the selfies as a way to attract more men's attention and in some cases, they score dates from the guys who comment on their Instagram selfies. Milligan warned against obsessive selfie-taking but encouraged the older generation to restrain from judging the new generation too quickly. The third presenter, Megan Griffith from Penn State University Brandywine campus, discussed the media's role in today's society as it affects women. She conducted a study comparing American fashion magazines and Italian fashion magazines. She wanted to test what kind of models were pictured, how they were posed and whether or not they influenced these two countries' cultures.

Social media directly affects body image, panelists suggest BY JOEY RETTINO Managing Editor
According to three panelists, social media can directly change the view or manipulate the idea of body image. “Most of our online communication is intrapersonal, but has personal consequences,” Oriana Rodriguez, Saint Peter’s University senior and the first speaker at the panel, said. The Wednesday, Oct, 22, panel was moderated by Dr. Paul Wright, Cabrini English professor, and was broken up into three sections including Rodriguez’s “The Pseudo-Intimacy of Internet Socialization and Casual Dress,” Hamilton College’s Sabrina Hua’s “#Asian: Mass Fetishizing Asian Bodies in the Construction of Racial Identity on Social Media,” and Dana Millio, senior English major’s, “#Selfie-Actualization: The Presentation of the Self in an Online Society.”
Rodriquez’s presentation focused on the lack of faceto-face communication that social media has created that has made the workplace somewhere where casual dress is the norm. “Casual dress has become the last mode of non-verbal communication readily available to absorb,” Rodreguez said. “The professional realm is left for the glossy profile pictures on LinkedIn and Facebook. Our last non-verbal statement is what we put on our bodies.” While Rodriquez focused on how social media is changing society, Hua saw how it is used to show society. Through her research, she’s found that searching “#Asian” on social media means very different things, in very different contexts. The reasons for using “#Asian” can range from the purpose of cultural appreciation or a description of a person’s identity, to racism or even as a use to promote certain fetishes. A common denominator in both Rodriquez and Hua’s
topics is the use of selfies, which was the focal point of Millio’s presentation. “The need for validation through selfie-culture has an ugly flipside,” Millio said. “In an online society with social networking sites based almost exclusively on vanity, being overlooked online can be crushing.” In her research, Millio found that selfies are more than just pictures but staples in how many millennials interect online and find real-life validation through online recognition.

Taize prayer creates interfaith experiences for all students

The location of the tazia prayer would be in the campus chapel. BY AMARRA BOONE Photo Editor
A prayer experience that unites the melting pot of denominations on campus is what Taize prayers at Cabrini aims to do. Author of the book Acts of Faith, Eboo Patel, challeneged Cabrini to reevaluate the adequacy the interfaith community in a presentation last year. In layman’s terms, a Taize community represents a diverse following of Christian churches, whose followers still reflect mutually exclusive identities within the prayer experience. Patel believes the inclusion of religions within communities is the key to success in creating strong bonds across denominations, not only on a college campus but on a greater global scale. Promoting interfaith events on campus students are to build understanding. "People like the word [interfaith] because its not Catholic," Father Carl Janicki, director of campus ministry said. A prayer such as taize allows for students within a Catholic community to find their own personal spiritual identity, while growing within a Catholic community. "The taize community is intentionally interfaith and ecumenical," Father Janicki said. "So they live by gospel values." Campus ministry whose offices are located on the third floor of Founders Hall, also plan to implement this similar ideology with student outreach at Cabrini. Father Janicki finds that the stronger our identity as a Catholic college becomes, the more inept we can be with interacting with outside religious communities. Whether those communities consist of Muslims, Jews or those of agnostic backgrounds. A taize prayer experience encompasses the religious unity that Patel advocates for. A diversity of religious doctrines that are all united on communal worship still falls under the Catholic principles of the college. The taize experience is different than anything experienced traditionally within a Catholic chapel service. Picture walking into a dimly lit room, accompanied by a softly playing piano with an overwhelming spiritual connection that is personal to you based on your own beliefs. A tazie prayer is a type of prayer within a community that involves repetitive song and a comfortable environment that allows participants to have a moment of solace and personal
reflection. By definition the word Taize comes from a French word "Taisez-vous which means "quite yourself." The Daylesford Abbey Monastery in Paoli is a local facility that offers a taize prayer experience for guests. Their online page invites those with busy schedules to take time for a"simple and beautiful way to experience Christ." Recently, members of Cabrini’s campus ministry attended a prayer service at the monastery. Attendants like junior, social work and religious studies major Madeline Coutu thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere at the prayer. She found a strong connection to the less conventional means of prayer. "It really calms and brings you into the moment," Coutu said. The atmosphere is perfect for students who are already pressured by their academic schedules. It allows a smaller informal gathering to spark spiritual awareness while introducing the importance of prayer in your own personal routine. Madeline also enjoys the set-up of the Tazie prayer. "For me it helps. It is repetitive so I don't have to worry about changing prayers or anything," Coutu said. "It really helped me focus on the moment.” It opens your heart to a deeper spiritual experience that can heal your mind and heart to continue school each day. In taize no one faith holds a greater stock in the spiritual experience. This type of experience will soon be coming to campus for all students to attend. In planning for a taize prayer at Cabrini, there are many opportunities to build bridges across religious ignorance. "It is just a good way to deepen their prayer life,” Coutu said. “I think the more various types of prayer you can have the less bored you'll be with your personal prayer life." This is an opportunity for those who are currently invested in a prayer life to deepen their connection and inspire those who are not to ignite a willingness to have a moment of self reflection in their day.
Is college really worth all it's made out to be? Do we really need a college education to succeed? Are you getting out of college all the money you are putting in? Everyone thinks about these questions, so let's find some answers. Brittany De Leon junior social work major said, "I think college is a bit overpriced, but I think it's worth it. You can try hard to find loans and scholarships and anything is possible. I think that the way the economy is shaping up that you need to have a degree to succeed. A lot of jobs will not hire you without a college degree. It's worth it at Cabrini because they have Justice Matters where you can get involved with social justice, campus ministry, CRS, ways to serve others and stand up for what you believe in." Stacie Roller junior, graphic design major, said, "I think college is very expensive. You can go to a state school for maybe $8,000 a year and Cabrini is $42,000. I think you can succeed without an education, I mean look at all the successful people in the world who didn't go to college. Cabrini does offer extra tutoring and it's located near Philadelphia, so you may have more job opportunities." Patricia Lalli IST teacher, said, "I don't believe you can succeed without an education. I think it's very difficult in this global world we live in." When asked if college was too expensive, particularly Cabrini, Lalli said, "All education is very expensive and I worry about the cost, but Cabrini is a smaller college that cares about each individual student and there's a lot of effort being put into helping every student succeed in what they want using the resources that are available, as well as the wonderful people that are employed here." According to the New York Times Upshot writer David Leonhardt, "In an analysis of Labor Department statistics by the Economic Policy Institute, "Americans with four-year college degrees made 98 percent more an hour on average in 2013 than people without a degree." Graduating in a bad economy can make it hard to find jobs. In May of 2014 the Economic Policy Institute reported that the unemployment rate for college graduates was 8.5 percent and that 16.8 percent were working at jobs that really didn't use their skills, while the College Summit reports that there is a high demand for college education in the workplace. On the Cabrini website in a Message from President Taylor said, "10 months after graduation, 95 percent of Cabrini College graduates report being either employed, in graduate school, or both."

76ers enter season with young leaders
BY HOWARD BLAKE III & JASON WILLIAMS Sports Editors
Howard’s Point of View The NBA season is underway and the Sixers are now in their second season under head coach Brett Brown. By the looks of it the Sixers won’t be a very good next season considering they don’t have much experience or leadership from their current players. Last season the Sixers were a miserable 19-63 overall. A large part was due to the dismantling of the roster after trading away Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes. Regardless of wins and losses, moral victories and the progression of the team will serve as the measuring point of the success of the Sixers this season. Head Coach Brett Brown was reassured that his success will not be measured by wins and losses. Therefore Brown has time to develop a team from scratch and mold his players into good players. for the future. A positive for Brown is that reigning rookie of the year, Michael CarterWilliams is back for his sec-
ond season with Philly. CarterWilliams led all rookies in points, assists and rebounds per game, when healthy Carter-Williams was the Sixers’ all around best player last season. Key words, “when healthy.” Carter-Williams had shoulder surgery during the summer and isn’t cleared to practice with the team until Nov. 6. He’s likely to miss at least seven games this season. Once Carter-Williams returns to the hardwood, all eyes will be on him to see how he will improve as a player even after his stellar rookie season. Carter-Williams is a 6’6 point guard which causes match up problems for a lot of undersized NBA point guards. His size allows him to get to the rim easily and that opens him up to display his play making ability. However it may not be as easy for Carter-Williams to make plays this year because teams will game plan better for him after his productive year last season. One thing Carter-Williams will have to get better at this season is his shooting. CarterWilliams has the ability to shoot the ball but does not have a consistent jump sot. Once he works on that part of his game, it will be even harder to defend the 6’6 point guard. When healthy, CarterWilliams has the ability to be a
top point guard in the league. But the pressure will be on his shoulders this season considering he is the only returning starter from last year’s opening night starting five. With the experience from last year, Carter-Williams is ready for the challenge. With expectations even lower than those of last year’s team, the Sixers will most likely win under 20 games again. But as long as the Sixers can get good production from CarterWilliams, it will give them a feeling of security that they can continue to build the team around the second year point guard.
Jason’s Point of View With the NBA season tipping off this week, the young Philadelphia 76ers are getting ready for what looks like another long losing season. This season will be the second under head coach Brett Brown, the Sixers are also returning Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams. The sixers will most importantly return former Kentucky Center Nerlens Noel who was select-
ed number six in the 2013 NBA Draft. After tanking in the 20132014 season going 19-63 overall, the Sixers earned a top three draft pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, where they selected former Kansas center Joel Embiid at number three. The Sixers team was torn apart from top to bottom last season and this offseason, after trading former number two pick Evan Turner and center Spencer Hawes. The 76ers also traded PF Thaddeus Young in the offseason. With a bunch of young talent and a bunch of unknown guys the 76ers look like they will be struggling to get wins again this year. For the Sixers this year the
popular belief is that, Rookie of the Year PG Michael CarterWilliams will be the most important piece to the team. This belief is mistaken, as Carter-Williams was and has been on the trade block for the Sixers since the 2014 NBA Draft. The Philadelphia 76ers have been looking for a franchise game changing player, since the departure of Allen Iverson in 2006. The Sixers have found their answer in C Nerlens Noel.
Noel missed his first season in the NBA due to recovery from ACL surgery. Noel is looking to have a breakout year like he did his freshman year at Kentucky University averaging 11 points, five blocks and 10 rebounds. Noel will bring a defensive presence to a Sixers team who ranked 30th in the defensive ranking which is last. Noel’s 6’11 frame with the wingspan of a 7’3 person makes Noel one the premiere rim protectors in basketball. Once Noel gets it going on the defensive end and on the glass points, it will become easier for the Sixers and Noel will be an instant game changer. All will not be easy for Noel, even though Noel is a superb athlete and talented defensively, Noel still lacks a sound offensive game. Noel not only struggles to score at times but Noel is also very light in weight compared to some of the other centers in the NBA. While Noel does struggle to score and is under weight, these are two intangibles that can be corrected as the season goes on for such a young player with such great potential. When healthy, Noel was considered to be the top prospect in his draft class and one of the top young guys in the NBA. As a team the Sixers expectations are again tank. The motto for the Sixers this year is the same as last “Together We Build”, shows that the 76ers organization knows there is not a contender now but with the pieces in place, the 76ers will keep on building and become a contender. In the years to come the Philadelphia 76ers are building a contender and their centerpiece of it all will be center Nerlens Noel.

Women’s club and recreation sports lacking involvement BY RENEE OLIVER Staff Writer
For students who no longer wish to play sports at the collegiate level but still have a love for fun activity and want to keep that going, recreational sports are for them. At Cabrini, students are offered the option to join and participate in intramural, club sports and outdoor recreation. One thing that has been noticed, why is there a lack of women involvement in comparison to the men? Orlin Jespersen, assistant director of athletics and recreation said, “Yes. I do think that there is a chance for us to get more women involved.” Jespersen noted that the cheerleading and dance teams
are the two main clubs that have the most women participation. Both are the most stable clubs among women students and are active year in and year out. In previous years there was a women’s basketball club team. The club had a lot of success. They played in and won a statewide tournament. The team played other women’s club teams from surrounding colleges on the east side of the sate. Currently, the women’s basketball club is not active. “I would absolutely love to see some more women’s programs or be open to doing some more women specific leagues,” Jespersen said. “[There] just hasn’t been enough interest to do women dedicated leagues.” On the contrary, there have been more women participating
in the outdoor recreation programs. The outdoor recreation program includes hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking, rock climbing and trips to Sky Zone. “Typically I have seen more women involved in those programs then in intramurals,” Jespersen said. “I am not sure why but I would love to do whatever we could to get more women involved in all of the programs.” Jespersen has had help in promoting and running the recreation programs from intramural league student manager, Amber Dietrich. Dietrich said, “I think that the women’s involvement is higher within some activities more than others. It all depends on who is going to participate in the event and who is not.” Dietrich added that she feels
that the program is slowly progressing with more participation among women. It comes down to those who are involved within the programs to send out a positive message to others to encourage them to join. “The lack of involvement is mostly due to the idea of people not branching out of their comfort zone or not reaching out to their friends of friends to participate within the program,” Dietrich said. The recreation programs goal is to first get people involved in leagues with one day tournaments that last about two hours, are fun and do not require that much athletic ability. From that point if there is enough interest the recreation program is more than welcome to start new clubs and begin intra-
mural leagues and activities. There are various events that are upcoming and occurring every week for students both female and male to participate in. Every Monday night at 9 p.m. there is open gym volleyball at the Dixon center. Every Wednesday there is a trip to Sky Zone where you can also rock climb. There will be a handball tournament on Nov. 5 and a 3 vs. 3 basketball tournament on Dec. 2. “The purpose of the intramural league and recreation is to get people involved with something fun that they and their friends can get involved with,” Dietrich said. “Please join us for our upcoming events that we have for the rest of the semester, as well as our events in the spring.” @RENEEOLIVER4423

Women’s tennis season ends in CSAC semifinals BY BRIANNA MORRELL Staff Writer
The game took place at the Dixon Courts at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17 which also happened to be Senior Day. The courts were laced with blue ribbons and old pictures of Samantha Trumbo, their only senior on the team. “She is definitely the biggest part of our team,” sophomore business major Elena Conway says about Trumbo. “She does so much for us. She loves tennis and it’s obvious,” Conway adds. Being the only senior, Trumbo was expected to feel challenged. However, she handles every situation humbly by saying, “Being the only senior hasn’t been a challenge for me. I am close with every girl on the team. I’m just glad that I can be a leader and role model for them.” All of Trumbo’s teammates seem to agree with the fact that she is the perfect leader. “She made me feel so welcome and wanted from the very first day. She’s helped us make adjustments to this very new
team and our new coach,” freshman criminology and sociology major Maggie Javitt said. Trumbo revieces nothing but praise from her teammates,
“She has made so many important decisions and has guided us through difficulties. Sammy is so important to our team. I can’t imagine it without
her,” Javitt added. The battle for this win was a tight one. All of the matches were close and the level of talent was evenly distributed between the
teams, but Gwyendd Mercy came out on top by winning two of the three doubles matches. They also defeated Cabrini by taking four of the six singles match wins. Both teams and all pairs played with all they had. Trumbo said, “This match is going to be intense, but whatever happens the team will put in a 110 percent effort.” “This is going to be our biggest match. They’re our biggest rival,” Conway said. “I’m expecting us to fight to the very end. Gwynedd has been our toughest competition in the past and I expect no different this year,” Javitt said. “No matter what happens, we are going to leave it all on the court.” Despite the loss, the team is staying positive and celebrating Trumbo’s time as a leader on the team. “These past four years were the best years of my life so far and a huge part of that is from the experience I had being on this team,” Trumbo said.

Men’s and women’s swim teams beat University of Pittsburgh-Bradford BY MARINA HALEY Staff Writer
Over at the Dixon center, this past Friday night, the Cabrini swim team waited on their opponent, University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, to arrive at the pool. As soon as the other team arrived, they only had a short time to warm up, and get ready, before they had to start the meet. “Even though we arrived late, we still had some of the best times, and Cabrini showed us great sportsmanship,” Coach Bahan said in an interview. At the meet Cabrini women won six out of eleven events. The final score for the Cabrini women’s team was 111 to 82. The Cabrini men’s final score to pit Bradford was 106 to 75. This was a milestone win for Cabrini considering it was the first time the men’s team have beaten Pitt Bradford in a dual meet. Also, this was the second year in a row that our women’s team had beaten them. “It was fun and the friendliness was so evident one the long bus ride,” Elizabeth Prager, from University of Pittsburgh at Bradford said. Coming into the meet it had the making of a good mathup according to coach Cindy Ikeler. “ It would definitely be an extremely close meet and it could come down to only a couple of points for who wins,” head coach Cindy Ikeler said. Christina Melchiorre was a double event winner for the women, winning both the 100 and 200 freestyle events. Morgan Griffith, Casey Merrill and
Valencia Williams were also event winners. The team of Morgan Griffith, Christina Melchiorre, Casey Merrill, and Brook Hagan won the last 200 freestyle relay. They had three double event winners for the men, Todd Walker, Rich Giuliani, and Hassan Goines. Todd Walker won the 100 butterfly and 500 freestyle. Rich Giuliani won the 50 freestyle and the 100 freestyle. Hassan Goines won the 200 IM and the 100 breast stroke. The team of Todd Walker, Andrew Stasis, Nick Vivian and Rich Giuliani won the 200 medley Relay. The team of Chris Moore, Matt McDonald, Ryan Hagan and Bobby Schmidt won the 200 freestyle relay. The Cabrini swim team swept five events in total. In the 200 freestyle Bobby Schmidt came in first place, Chris Ryan came in second, and Scott Hunt came in third place. In the 50 freestyle, Rich Giuliani came in first place, Ryan Hagan came in second place and Cody Kunze came in third place. For the 100 freestyle Rich Giuliani got first place, Hassan Goines got second place and Bobby Schmidt received third place. During the 100 breast stroke Hassan Goines won first place, Andrew Stasis won second place, and Brian Jordan won third place. “We dominated today, but it all starts at practice and waking up at 6:30 in the morning,” Hassan Goines, exercise science and health promotion major, said.

Student athletes agree Cabrini keeps it gender equal BY DOMINIQUE DINARDO Staff Writer
Men’s and women’s athletics at Cabrini seem to be equal, according to players. Division III athletes are different than others in higher divisions. They do not get compensated financially for what they achieve and produce athletically. They are expected to be students first and athletes second. Division III Athlete’s StudentAthlete Advisory Committee says that students know in this division that they are not playing with the next Olympic athlete. Instead, they are playing with a future CEO or doctor. However, no matter what way it is put, all of these students are collegiate athletes. In some larger divisions, there are some discrepancies in athletics when it comes to gender equality. Many schools favor men’s teams over women’s in certain sports. In other sports, women’s teams are held at higher esteem than men’s. Cabrini is different. Kerri Hinkleman, junior soccer player said, “Both teams get the same perks.” She added, “We are both really competi-
tive teams in our conference so we are able to travel to different countries and help out the community.” Hinkleman is referring to the trip to Portugal with the women’s soccer team and the the men’s soccer team’s trip to Bermuda this summer. “We both receive the same amount of gear, turf, time, and also dinners. So, I’d say that’s pretty fair,” junior men’s soccer player Robert Pino said. “Cabrini does a good job making things
fair and equal between the both of us,” Pino adds. Students agree that Cabrini does a nice job on keeping things equal, but do men or women have a larger fan-base? “The boys have a bigger fanbase. People tend to think men’s soccer is more fun to watch than women’s,” Hinkleman said. Pino, however disagreed. “The girls have a bigger fan-base for sure. A lot more of their parents come out than ours sadly,” he said. Despite their difference in opin-
ion, Pino still says, “We really get along well. If we aren’t supporting each other at games, we are doing one day training sessions together for little kids.” Sophomore lacrosse player Steve Halko said, “Both teams are treated equal, but in different ways. And that is because of the respect our coaches have for one another.” Halko believes that both the men and women’s lacrosse teams are treated the same on the field and in the locker rooms,
but some of the perks are different. “The girls get to go away to Florida for spring break, but we don’t,” Halko said. We see that there is a consistent pattern of equality in sports that have teams to represent both genders, but what about sports who only represent one? Junior volleyball captain Jennifer Grenauer said, “I don’t believe women’s volleyball gets any extra attention out of all the women’s teams.” Grenauer adds, “The staff at Cabrini and the athletic department are very supportive of our team and distribute that to all the teams on campus.” Cabrini makes sure that both men and women are represented as equal athletes. Fans will continue to fill the stands and cheer on their favorite Cavaliers year in and year out because they know this. If the athletes feel things are equal they will continue to play their best and represent their school with pride.
