Possible name change: Major milepost on ‘Cabrini 2020 Roadmap to Growth’ BY BRIANNA MORRELL & JILL NAWOYSKI Social Media Editor & Editor In Chief/Co-News Editor President Taylor held a town hall meeting on Friday, Sept. 18 to discuss the possible idea of changing Cabrini’s name from college to university. The lecture hall was packed with faculty and staff who were excited to hear about the changes that have been taking place and will take place in the next few years. Taylor is discussing a potential name change from college to university with various constituencies. Taylor assured the audience that Cabrini will continue its nurturing manner and undergraduate class size. The possible change to university status reflects the expansion of academic programs that have already taken place, including the addition of doctoral programs. “This will actually allow us to double down on our revenue streams and allow us to improve the overall campus quality and campus life,” Taylor said. “It’s a way for us to improve our overall student experience, because it opens up some other avenues for us to that we do not currently have access to. The things that we do very well by being a smaller campus we want to enhance those, not go the other direction.” President Taylor is also planning to bring in more international students, especially those who go to Cabrini schools worldwide. With the “college” in the name, international students believe Cabrini is a secondary school or vocational institute. If the name is changed, then international students will see “university” and they will know that Cabrini can be the next step of their journey through higher education. Taylor has gone through a name change already at his previous institution and said that alumni can find more value with the upgrad-
ed name. He said that at his previous institution, some students even chose to get a diploma with the new name for a small fee. “Students have always been drawn to Cabrini because of its small class size and most importantly how the faculty interacts with the students on a personal level,” Maria Cedrone Garrison, class of 1982, said. “This decision would benefit students, faculty and alumni. I hope to hear more about the outcome.” With the process of the name change, Taylor has no intentions of changing the Cabrini culture and how students are treated around the campus. “I just want to reenforce to the students that we aren’t trying to become the next West Chester,” Taylor said. “We aren’t going to have large class sizes or having anyone other than professors teaching our classes.” He mentioned that the potential changes will help give students further resources and more support as additional students come onto campus. Within time, more services and programs will be available to be offered to students and the overall campus experience will be enhanced. In the time between now and next fall, new college items will simply say Cabrini, instead of Cabrini College. If and when the college becomes a university, the logo and name plate will be modified to reflect the change. The new designs developed for the college will be more modern and up to date to the college development. The president’s office is in the process of scheduling undergraduate and graduate open forums within the next few weeks to discuss the ideas and process for this plan with students.
Cabrini has a history of academic and co-curricular partnerships with local, national and international resources. The college partners up with local and nearby Philadelphia high schools to offer quality educational opportunities between secondary and higher education institutions. High school students can enroll in a number of courses on Cabrini’s campus, and some classes are offered on the high school campus. This program is open to junior and senior high school students “at a cost of $300 per class whereas one freshmen class is around $1,000.” Tricia Scepansky said. According to Scepansky, who took charge of the program in 2014, a year and a-half ago the school started off with only two high school partnerships and about 40 students. Currently, They are partnered up with 17 public and private schools and 180 students. About two out of 14 students that were in the program last year now attends Cabrini College. But Scepansky believes if the number of schools and students keep increasing the number of students to enroll at Cabrini will also increase. Out of the 17 schools that Cabrini partners with, some are Archbishop John Carroll, Bethlehem Catholic, Cardinal O’Hara, Chester County Futures, Chichester School District and Lansdale Catholic. Another program the college participates in is the Diocesan Scholar program. Colette Nolan, a senior at Cardinal O’Hara High School in Springfield, attends Cabrini College. Nolan is part of the Diocesans Scholars Program. The Diocesans Scholars program allows the top three percent of the students class on their campus free enrollment their senior year, paid full by the college. On a regular day, Nolan wakes up at 6 a.m for high school. Nolan is currently enrolled in Principles of Management with David Burke and Community Engagement and Social Media with Felicity Duncan. Nolan is thinking about pursuing a degree in Communication. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

The walk that they take everyday is a surreal routine according to the residents of Douma. They shop on half-demolished streets, scavenge for wild greens and carry out mass burials. Apparently not even the fields are safe. Just recently medics said that bombs killed two families there – 10 people and seven children. The bombardments that have been occurring have been going on for years in insurgent-held areas such as Douma, which is one of the first areas to revolt against the government in 2011.

Some Afghan leaders sexually abuse the boys and the U.S. soldiers can hear them screaming and yelling from between the walls. It is painful to know that U.S. soldiers are told to ignore this, and even worse, it is considered the Afghan “culture.” This shows a difference in cultures and the challenges people who defend our country face while living in foreign lands.

Commentary: My experience at Ally 101 Training BY CHRIS FONTE Staff Writer What does being an ally mean? Being an ally means standing alongside someone. With regard to gays, lesbians, transgendered and others, it means someone who takes a stand against oppression. An ally works to be a part of social change rather than being a part of the oppression or someone who is merely a bystander. Ally training mean learning how to be an ally for gay, lesbian and the transgendered people as well, who get bullied, abused or harassed. As a staff writer, I had the opportunity to participate in the first “Ally” 101 meeting of the year. The training is a very audience-engaged meeting. We started off by introducing ourselves and saying one super power we would like to have and what pronouns we use most often. Sophomore Paige Wagner said her superpower would be to talk to animals and her pronoun was normal stuff like he, she, they etc. Before the meeting officially started we got an idea of what each person was like. The first exercise a circle and were asked questions like “have you ever been or witnessed someone being bullied?” If we answered “yes,” we stepped in the circle and if it was a “no,” we stayed where we were. After that, we were asked what we noticed and took in from the exercise. What we noticed as a group was that people were open about answering the questions they were asked and weren’t afraid to step in the circle. Junior Cheyenne Irizarry commented on the question about people being harassed and said ,“I’ve witnessed people being bullied and harassed and wherever and whoever it is it just bothers me wherever I see it.” The one part that stood out to me the most was when the assistant director of programming for student diversity initiatives Sarah Carter, asked us to guess the percentage of a fact she got from a survey taken in 2009. She asked us to guess five different percentages. There was one question that stood out to everyone and shocked the audience. CONTINUE READING ONLINE CHRISTFONTE@GMAIL.COM

In an e-mail Nolan said, “I really like coming to Cabrini. Not only is it close but the campus has a great atmosphere and I’m really enjoying my classes!” Nolan is not sure if she is attending Cabrini next year, campus-wise it is all she wants but she is not sure academically. This is the first year that the COM department is participating in the educational partnerships. Smith travels to Cardinal O’Hara High School to teach Communication 101, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:45 p.m. until 3 p.m. Jillian Smith was contacted by Dr. Zurek about the Educational Partnerships and with no hesitation said yes to the opportunity. “This is a great opportunity for high school students to get involved with their college career so early,” Smith said. Scepensky wants to acknowledge the teachers who are passionate about this program. Professors with dedicated work ethic like Dr. Zurek, who emailed almost half the staff on Facebook to find professors to teach COM 101. Jillian Smith and Dr. Duncan who travel to high schools along with teaching here at Cabrini, and every staff worker who allows and contributes to the education of students.

Enrollment rises on campus BY KATHERINE BRIANTE Staff Writer Today, a lot of schools, especially Catholic schools, are struggling. They are having trouble keeping their enrollment up and their tuition down. Fortunately, Cabrini is not one of those schools. In January, Cabrini’s president Dr. Donald Taylor announced that Cabrini would freeze tuition through May of 2016. Just a few months later, it was revealed that Cabrini’s enrollment is up this year. The question a lot of people have is ‘why is Cabrini doing so well when other schools in the area aren’t?’ People might say that it is because Cabrini provides students with a quality education. While that may be true, there are other reasons behind the enrollment increase. One of the main reasons is the hard work of the Admissions Office every year. “We do a traditional college admissions recruitment cycle in the fall we visit high schools and college fairs and speak with students,” Sarah Lasoff, associate director of ad-
missions, said. Cabrini is also expanding and growing which is attractive to potential students. Just this year, the college announced a new baseball program and broke ground on the Dixon Center renovation. Another factor that President Taylor is doing to help enrollment is taking Cabrini College’s mission outside of the country. The college already has a partnership with Mother Cabrini High School in New Orleans. This summer, Taylor visited Argentina to try and recruit students from the schools there that were set up by Mother Cabrini. “There were a number of students who really expressed interest in coming and studying here, so I think we’ll start to see that snowball,” Robert Reese, vice president for enrollment management, said in an interview with Philly.com. While going out to college fairs and meeting with international students is a first step in the recruitment process, no one is going to want to come to Cabrini, leaving their home country behind, if they do not feel welcome
in the community. Luckily, Cabrini’s admission team does just that. “A lot of it comes from the customer service that the Admissions office provides,” Lasoff said. “We are out at more high schools, we are doing more college visits, we’re traveling a lot and just really connecting one-onone with the students, and that helps students know that Cabrini can be their home.” While some other schools are struggling to keep their enrollment up and their tuition down, Cabrini is not having those problems. “I think it’s important that a lot of students [know] what’s really different with Cabrini admissions is that our counselors know their students,” Lasoff said. “We’re visiting them, they’re visiting us, we’re making connections and we really believe that Cabrini is a great place, so we’re out there really saying that it should be your next home.”

Being Hispanic along with Diversity BY NYGERIA GEORGE Staff Writer People do not understand the differences among nationalities when Hispanics are grouped together, students at a recent Diversity meeting explained. Student Diversity is an organization here on Cabrini’s campus that allows students to give insight on how they feel regarding the topic of diversity. “Being Hispanic” was a topic recently discussed not only by Hispanics but by African American students and well as Caucasians. Sophomore Melanie Velez, business administration major said “there is a complete difference from a Latino, Mexican, and Hispanic. In some cases it is actually rude to call someone from Latin American heritage a Hispanic; simply because people are proud to be who they are. Although both ethnicities are surrounded by the same basis, they do have specific aspects within their cultures that differ. Even stereotypes; people expect just because someone is Hispanic they automatically know how to speak Spanish, which is not nec-
essarily true. Everyone has their own perspectives.” On Cabrini’s website, student diversity has a saying, “Co-sponsored with the student organization Pura Vida and the Office of Admissions, Latino/a and Hispanic campus community mem-
dialoguing about their needs on campus.” Sophomore Cali-Ani Diaz said, “it’s offensive to be called a Mexican knowing I am Hispanic. I represent where I am from. Each culture speaks a different language. Certain words

People all throughout Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republican share many similar traits as well as different traits with African Americans and Caucasians.” Student diversity leader Sarah Carter said, “the reason for these meetings are to inform others about different communities, cultures, languages, and experiences. Students should become more involved with discussions pertaining to diversity. A part of our student diversity goal is to provide students with a voice. We want to hear all about what you all have to say.” Being Hispanic is a broad topic. Everyone has their own perspectives of what it means to be from Latin America. Those who share this heritage explained what it means to have a Hispanic background.

Two new majors announced for students BY CECELIA HECKMAN Staff Writer This year, two new majors are being launched: gender and body studies in the English department and black studies in the history and political science department. “Developing innovative new programs at Cabrini to meet the demands of our current and future students has been an exciting focus for our faculty since the arrival of our new president,” Dr. Mary Harris, dean of academic affairs, said in an email. The new majors have taken the focus of Cabrini’s marketing strategy beginning this past summer. Celia Cameron, vice president of marketing and communications, said the college is already working hard to promote the new majors. Information on both majors can be found on the college’s website and has been updated in the informational packets in the admissions suite. Marketing is also working on new ways to promote the majors offered here at Cabrini. “We are trying to move towards what they call content marketing, which is more story-telling,” Cameron said. This is beginning in the fall 2015 issue of “Cabrini Magazine,” which features a story by Dr. Michelle Filling-Brown, who oversees the gender and body studies major.
“We intentionally chose Michelle Filling-Brown because she’s talking about body image in America, and then there’s a really soft note at the end that says she played an instrumental role in approving the new gender and body studies major,” Cameron said. With the majors only being officially approved this past May, there are not yet any students enrolled in them. However, some current and incoming students have already expressed an interest in pursuing them. Filling-Brown expects interest in the gender and body studies major because it will ultimately be replacing the popular English concentration in women’s studies. She has already reached out to interested students. “We have 16 students who are in the new body image living and learning community,” Filling-Brown said in an interview over the phone. “I’m anticipating that some of those students, at the minimum, will pursue the minor.” Filling-Brown said, “The major is really unique because there are lots of gender studies programs in the country, but to my knowledge and to our knowledge, there is no undergraduate major of the combination of gender and body studies together at any school.”

Pope Francis to visit Philadelphia this weekend BY JESS DIPROSPERO Staff Writer From Sept. 25 to Sept. 27, Pope Francis will be visiting the United States. This is the first time any Pope would be attending the World Meeting of Families in years. His first stop will be in Washington D.C., then New York and finally completing his tour in Philadelphia. With the pope coming to the Philadelphia city of Brotherly Love, Cabrini College and many other colleges, facilities and much more have had to make many changes to their original schedule. “Cabrini’s schedule as far as public safety has not really changed. If anything it will be a quiet campus. We still abide our 24/7 schedule,” Tom Pulmer, Public Safety Officer said. The college campus may not be taking safety measures but the city of Philadelphia and New York have enhanced security throughout the entire city, as well as closing public transportation resources. “Closing the entire city for just one person to me is not fair. It is good for the Catholic religion but it is disheartening to think that just because he is here everything has to stop,” Laurel Moss, Cabrini College dining hall supervisor, said. With the Pope coming to the Philadelphia area and public transportation closing, the college also had to make adjustments to their normal schedule for everyone. Students will be given online classes on Friday, Sept. 25 and Mon. Sept. 28. This was decided amongst many of the faculty, Student Life, and Academic Affairs. “Mostly because we have enough students attending classes that commute from outside of the state and where all the traffic will be located, we feel it is not fair to them to have to make that commute and it would be in their best interest to hold classes online and not face to face,” Dr. Jeff Gingerich, Dean of Academic Affairs, said.

Class of 2015 students continue onto graduate programs BY EMILY CROUSE Staff Writer About 26 percent of college graduates enroll in a graduate program within one year of graduation. Continuing on to grad school has often questioned to be worth it. Some of the forces behind the desire for students to continue on with their schooling are personal growth, greater employment opportunities, career advancement, financial reward, sense of accomplishment and greater recognition and credibility. Recent Cabrini College graduates who fall into this percentage group from the class of 2015 are Kaitlin Zisa, Ben Laffoon and Se’ Quia Bailey. Bailey said the benefit of continuing school right after undergraduate education is that students feel like they are still in the rhythm of going to class and doing homework. Also, it helps them to reach their goals
faster. Commonly, students feel that if they took a break, they would put off going back to school and end up putting a hold on their future. Kaitlin Zisa, graduate of the class of 2015, chose to continue her education because with the B.S. she obtained in exercise science and health promotion. Zisa needed to find an area in the field she wanted to specialize in and become an expert at. “The benefits of continuing schooling is you get to expand your horizon on a subject you know a great deal about,” Zisa said. “You also get to meet tons of new people and become that much closer to your ultimate goal.” Not all students are required to continue on to grad school but when it comes to Ben Laffoon, who is set to start grad school this upcoming June, decided to continue schooling because he wants to be a physical therapist.
In order to become a physical therapist, a student needs to go to PT school for threeyears. PT school used to be a masters program where it was only two years but it was switched to a doctorates of physical therapy. It is now three full years. When it comes to the workload grad school has to offer, Se’ Quia Bailey said, “it’s crazy!” “It’s definitely a different pace than undergraduate courses, no doubt about that. I have two sometimes three classes a day and for each of those classes I have to often read 3 sometimes 4 cases, analyze them, understand the law, and sometimes think of counter-arguments of cases,” Bailey said. “At first, I was concerned that I wouldn’t get it done, but what gets me through the assignments is knowing that there is a high chance the professor will randomly put you in the hot seat and you better be ready!” EMILYCROUSEE@GMAIL.COM

Creating a strong community: workshop takes a look at Cabrini’s diversity BY CAITLYN HUEBNER Staff Writer Diversity goes beyond race. It is a celebration of physical diversity, as well as the aspects of people that we cannot see. “[Diversity means] being different and being OK with it,” Nazifa Akanda, class of 2016, said in an email. This idea of difference and acceptance is a belief that both students and faculty share alike. “No matter where you work, live or go to school, you are going to come in contact with people who are different than you,” Amy Collins, class of 2018, said. “In a way, you are learning through personal experience by meeting new people about different cultures and how they differ and relate to your own.” In order to celebrate diversity, Cabrini offers a wide-range of events and workshops. The Office of Student Diversity Initiatives is responsible for these types of celebrations. “[The office] provides programming, workshops and training around issues of social justice and diversity and inclusion,” Sarah Carter, assistant director of programming, diversity initiates, said. This past Tuesday, Sept. 15, the Office of Student Diversity Initiatives held an Exploring Diversity Workshop. Carter hosted the event. Carter spoke about what diversity looks like: race, gender and age, as well as the diversity that can not be physically seen, such as sexual orientation, religion, ability and socio-economic state. The workshop then broke off where students could discuss their past lived experiences. Carter relives previous workshops by saying, “People have walked out of this and have said ‘I feel like I’ve gotten closer to the people in the session with me.’” For students that missed this event and were interested in these types of diversity celebrations, there will be many other events and workshops to come sponsored by LeadStrong. For those who are interested in future events held by The Office of Student Diversity Initiatives, please email Carter, scarter@cabrini.edu, or visit any of the office’s social media pages; Twitter, Wordpress, Instagram and Facebook. Students can also visit Carter in person on the first floor of Widener Hall, next to Jazzman’s Café. “The goal of this workshop, and goal of the Diversity Office, is to get conversations started”, Carter said. “When we have conversations like this, not only do we get to learn about ourselves, but about others, too.” CAITLYN.HUEBNER0820@GMAIL.COM

Has Kimye taken their baby name too far? BY ANNA LAQUINTANO Staff Writer
North West, South West, East West, Wild West–all of these names have been stirring around when it comes to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. But rumor has it that the hot celebrity couple plans on going a different direction when it comes to naming their second child: “God Yeezus West.” You have got to be kidding me. I get that we live in a free country where people can mostly do what they want, but this is a little outrageous. Having this baby named “God Yeezus” will start nothing but a big controversy. I sometimes wonder if celebrities think before they name their child. Over the decades, we have had some crazy celebrity baby names, but this one is by far the worst I have ever heard. In an interview, Kayne said, “We decided to go with God because we believe God is the highest power, the creator of everything like mankind, science. Like North, we wanted our son to have a powerful name.” Although Kanye may think he is doing right by picking

who very well may suffer severe criticism his whole life. It is extremely offensive. Some people take their religion very seriously, and for them to just throw out that name for their child without a second thought will not settle well at all. Today especially, people put celebrities on a pedestal. They think that just because they are famous, they have earned some automatic level of respect to do whatever they please. In my opinion, this all needs to stop right now. Kim and Kanye, you are both just out of line this time. Kim is expected to have her baby boy at the end of this year, so hopefully this is nothing but a crazy, bizarre rumor. If not, I do not want to be around to hear how this will play out. Bottom line–sorry Kim and Kanye–but when it comes to naming your child, you are so wrong on this one.

Your college identity is more important than your relationship BY JACLYN LABES Staff Writer
Out with the old and in with the new. The transition from high school to college is an exciting new chapter in life but–if you are in a relationship–things might get complicated. For some, it is completely exhausting trying to keep that relationship alive. College is a new lifestyle for freshman students, which takes a lot of time and effort to get used to. Being involved in a stressful relationship puts a big damper on all that excitement. Trying to resolve your relationship issues with your partner can become very challenging as you try to focus on school work and stay organized. Even if you told yourself before you started college that you would not let your relationship problems get in the way of your academic goals, it can still easily happen. Not having the ability to successfully create a balance between school and your relationship is going to make things even more problematic as the year goes on. You are not going to be present enough in all the opportunities college is handing you if you are spending too much time talking to your boyfriend instead of integrating with others and taking in the full freshman experience. If you are anything like me, you did not have a clue what you wanted to pursue upon entering college, which is completely fine. On top of juggling the problems I had
as an undecided student, I was also in a relationship that ended during my freshman year because it was best to have time to be on our own. After ending things, I started to come out of my comfort zone more and today I am glad that I made that decision. It might be time to take a break from your long-term relationship, at least for the first couple of months of freshman year. College is a time to discover who you are,

and if you are letting the stress of solving the issues in a relationship that began in high school prevent that, you are missing out on the unique possibilities right in front of your eyes. Also, if after a couple months of being separated, you realize that you are able to follow your dreams and be happy but want that relationship back, then go for it.
Once the two of you get back together, both of you will be happy that you took the time to discover new things about yourselves and did not hold each other back from growing separately as an individual. I understand that it is hard to break it off, especially if you have been together all of high school. The two of you have been through everything together and cannot imagine what it would be like without one another. However, there is no way for you to get out of that shell you are hiding in if you continually resort to staying in your dorm room on an ugly phone call with your boyfriend instead of going out with your roommate on a Friday night, who is probably tired of hearing about your relationship issues. There is no easy solution to this problem. It is hard to let go of someone you have known for so long, at least for the time being, but it could really benefit you in the long run. Determining how the next four years of your life as a collegiate student will be spent is up to you. Make it worthwhile and choose to do whatever it is that you enjoy because this is the time for you to flourish.

Celebrities’ influence on youth: is bad behavior their fault? BY AJ SHOPA Staff Writer
We are in a generation that is continuously getting faster and being able to share and store more and more information. With applications like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, it is just extremely easy these days for kids to find any information and share it with their friends. With that, you have kids following their favorite athletes, musicians, artists, actors, actresses and many more. They see everything they are following and they go and share it with their friends too. The problem with their parents trying to control what their kids see and how it affects them is that they really cannot control it these days. If their kids want to dress and talk like Iggy, there is not very much they can do besides maybe send them to military school or joining an Amish country. I do not think you can really blame the celebrities for this because they are just trying to live their lives. They did not ask for kids to follow exactly what they are doing. However, I do believe that now they should understand that kids want to do what is cool and they think celebrities are the coolest you can get. That is the goal in life: to
live easy like a celebrity. Everyone wants to be rich and famous. I still believe that the celebrities should either watch what they are saying because they are constantly being video taped and recorded, or they can actually go out and be good examples for people. There is a lot of blame on television, video games and music, but every single generation has been saying that. First they blamed jazz, then they blamed rock and now they are blaming rap music. Generations are always going to change, just like I plan on yelling at my kids about how their new phones and music are rotting their minds. I believe that when you get older, you do not want to think it was your fault that something went wrong in your kids’ life, so it is easier to just blame the media and celebrities for being bad examples. I do think that the celebrities and media are part of it, but you cannot just throw the blame on them. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that each generation is going to find its own way.

Gender-neutral housing is the new trend among college campuses BY CASEY SEMENZA Staff Writer
Over one hundred colleges in the United States have opted in to be a part of “gender-neutral” housing where female students can now live in the same room as male students. Not only are public universities starting this trend, but private, Christian colleges are getting involved in coed dorms as well. The University of Pennsylvania, a short trip from Cabrini College, has decided to create genderneutral dorms. You can find a description of what “gender inclusive” housing means through their residence life website, where there is a nifty video encouraging students to try living with the opposite sex. Sounds crazy right? Maybe not to everybody, but to me, I see a lot of problems. I mean, I have had some really awkward encounters with forgetting my towel for the shower on an all-girls’ floor, but imagine forgetting your towel and having to ask your male roommate to bring it to you. I would be forever embarrassed. Another issue which I raise is the fact that you could potentially get into a relationship with your opposite sex roommate and now you are living together even though you have only been dating for two weeks. But what happens if you two decide to break up? Now you are living together angry, upset and hurt with a small possibility of moving out of your room.
I think the biggest problem is that guys and girls are so different, and when they share a place together, it is usually for the reason of engagement or marriage. I think this is very premature to have couples living in the same dorm, using the same bathroom, etc. I feel like this is growing up too quickly with the option to live with a random opposite sex roommate when you are only a freshman. I also believe that
housing because of my personality as well. Women and men are so different physically and mentally and I think that would be a major challenge in living with the opposite sex. I can get very emotional and stressed and if I had a male roommate, he would not understand why I get so sensitive about certain issues. I also would not be afforded the luxury of privacy or comfortability that I would have with another female if I had a

living with the same sex can help create everlasting friendships and bonds that you might not have living with the opposite sex. I would never opt into gender-neutral
male roommate. Students at Cabrini already know how difficult the housing selection is, and I only see more problems if this option were to be added. Now significant others can live
together with no visitation rules, which will be a rude awakening when they go back home on holidays. As a resident assistant at Cabrini, I look at this as a huge challenge for other RAs as well. We have to make sure the community we are responsible for is happy, healthy and following the rules set by Cabrini. It would be very difficult doing our job if there were gender neutral dorms. I think there would be more parties, more incidences for sexual assault, more altercations and more disagreements about rooms. Basically this would become an RAs nightmare. Schools such as Boston University and Stanford have a different outlook on gender-neutral housing. An article published by Rolling Stone said that the reason why Boston University decided to add gender-neutral housing is because of the rising need to house and comfort those who do not identify with the sex they were born with. I can understand their point, and if the need is large, there should be options for LGBT students to choose to live together in a judgment-free environment. I do not, however, think the option for gender-neutral housing is needed for students who just want to live with a possible boyfriend. This is college: a time to focus on education, make friends and create a positive experience for yourself. CASEY.SEMENZA@GMAIL.COM
The government should not have a say in everything BY JANELLE DESOUZA Staff Writer
ALL PHOTOS CREATIVE COMMONS
Issues such as marriage, race and religion are controversial and tough for the government to handle. The government needs to have a say on certain topics, but not on all of them. There are many different topics in this country that are controversial, but the government chooses to participate in some and not in others.
Marriage You should already know that everyone now has the right to marry whomever they want, whether it is a man to a man, a woman to a woman, or the traditional man to a woman. In this case the government has to be involved because there was already a law against same-sex marriage. In order to override that law the government had to make a new law. They did this, and now we have the new law allowing same-sex marriage in the country.
Abortion Many people get pregnant unintentionally and realize they do not what a baby. Whether it be from their own unsafe actions and decisions, mistakes or from being a victim of rape, they have the right to choose whether or not they want to keep the baby or abort it. Some may even choose to put the child up for adoption. Whatever the choice may be, the person carrying that child should be able to make their own decision without the government telling them what they can and cannot do.
Race Race should never be a controversial topic, but unfortunately it is. Many minorities feel threatened by people of higher authorities such as white police because of all of the racist police brutality stories that the media has been showing to the public. Minorities have always been known as people who run from the police, which was probably just comic relief for what was going on at that time and what still goes on now. It just seems like African American people are being targeted unrightfully and being charged differently for doing the same thing a white person has done. The government should not stay uninvolved in a situation like this. These people are working for the government, therefore the government needs to do something to fix it. They cannot just sit back and do nothing.
Religion In this country, we are free to practice whatever religion we choose to practice. There is no need for the leaders of this country to have a say on anything about religion. This country is filled with many different races, ethnicities and cultures which brings along different religions as well. It goes against what we call “freedom” to take away religious rights.

As Cabrini grows so should gradute and undergraduate interaction BY EMILY ROWAN Photo Editor
Traditionally, undergraduate and graduate classes at Cabrini are held separately. The question has been raised if combining some classes between graduate students and undergraduate students would be a good idea. Cabrini offers more than 30 majors for undergraduate students and currently offers three different graduate programs including a masters in education, leadership and accounting. Teresa Bickley, a current graduate student and graduate assistant at Cabrini, is studying to receive her master’s degree in education. In the past, Bickley took a graduate level course that had graduate students and undergraduate students combined. She felt that taking the combined course was difficult because the professor gave the graduate students and undergraduates different syllabi but overall she felt that the combined course definitely helped prepare her for graduate school. “Combining graduates and undergraduates for classes at Cabrini would be beneficial to help out undergrads to see what they are getting into and it would provide a mentorship,” Bickley said. Also, Bickley said that even if students are not planning on going onto graduate school, integrating the classes would help students push more towards their educational goals. Some undergraduate students at Cabrini have also had the opportunity to take a course with some graduate students mixed in for various reasons. Undergraduate student and current a double major in secondary education and English with a minor in Spanish, Sarah Davis said, “Ideally I would love to continue on for a masters or even a doctorate if plausible.”
Davis has had a few courses at Cabrini where a few graduate students were mixed into the classroom. She said that for the most part she liked the structure of the classroom. Davis said that having a few graduate students in her class has made her think more about her future and the possibility of graduate school. “I think it is quite comforting knowing that it [graduate school] is attainable and it is realistic because anytime there is that next step it is a little intimidating about wether it is doable or not but to interact with somebody in your class that is doing it it makes it seem less daunting,” Davis said. Terra McHenry, a current senior at Cabrini, has also had some courses where graduate students were mixed in with undergraduate students. “I think that putting graduate and undergraduate students in the same classroom provides great opportunities for us to learn from each other,” McHenry said. McHenry would like to pursue a graduate degree eventually and use the exposure of mixed classes as a benefit. “I think that undergrads might be intimidated at first to see that they are taking classes with graduate students but at the end of the day we are obtaining the same education, which makes us equals in the classroom,” McHenry said. As Cabrini continues to grow and expand Davis, hopes we will see more graduate and undergraduate interactions.

Freshmen use on-campus activities to adjust BY MARISSA ROBERTO Staff Writer
It has been a couple of weeks since summer has ended. Classes have begun and school is in session. Time to see old friends and get back into the routine of college life. But what about the new freshmen on campus? Have they adjusted? “I am absolutely adjusting here. Everyone is very nice to me. Especially all the upperclassmen are very welcoming and will definitely help you out if you need a hand,” freshman, David Gall, said. “Classes are much different from high school but all the professors are pretty nice so far, and we have master learner Jack Dunleavy and the classroom coaches who always seem to be helpful. It shouldn’t be as difficult as everyone has said,” Gall said. Gall is going to be on the golf team and is really looking forward to it. Gall plans to join as many groups and clubs as possible on campus as well. “I definitely want to do as much as I can my couple of years here,” Gall said. Freshman, Jack Sanders, is also adjusting really well and even faced some challenges. “It’s different being on your own, like figuring out laundry. That was challenge,” Sanders said. “Never had to do laundry before and my roommate had to help me out but isn’t that what he is here for.” Freshman Sarah Smith is really enjoying her time at Cabrini so far too. “I think it was the best fit for me, not only academically but I think that it is a good size and I like the campus a lot,” Smith said. “I have a good group of friends that I hang out with a lot.” Smith really enjoys her exercise science class and plans to attend the involvement fair to learn more about different clubs and organizations she can join on campus. Some freshmen have already participated in some fun activities the college has to offer. “I went with campus ministry to the PB&J night in Philly. We handed out sandwiches to the homeless. That was a lot of fun,” freshman, Brittany McCullough, said. “I play volleyball and I like to hang out with the honors kids,” freshman, Julianna Fabricius, said. By being a part of the honors program, she feels really welcomed. She likes all of her classes, especially her marketing class taught by Professor Womack.
“Well, I have been at Cabrini since Aug. 19 for a sport but at first I was a little homesick but not anymore,” Fabricius said. “When your friends go away obviously you are going to miss them and want to talk to them and your parents but there are ways to talk and keep in contact.” Homesickness is a normal feeling for anybody going away to college for the first time. “It is nice to feel independent but I still miss my home because it is so far away in Connecticut,” Emily Dowds, freshman, said. Though she feels homesick, Dowds likes Cabrini so far. She has been going to most of the events the college has offered so far on campus and has really enjoyed all of them. “That whole first welcome week my roommate and I went out to the different activities. We played bubble soccer and that was pretty awesome. Cabrini is keeping us pretty busy,” freshman, Andrew Sennett, said. Not only are the activities keeping him busy but also Sennett is running for the schools cross-country team and is having fun. Adjusting to a different environment may take some time and getting used to but it sure does seem as if the freshmen have adjusted just fine

This year, a new way of picking dorm rooms, called My Housing, was implemented. Senior resident assistant and Student Body President, Lucia Neuber, has seen a lot of issues with residents not getting their desired rooms. “It allows students to choose housing from anywhere, instead of all your roommates having to meet somewhere to pick your room,”Neuber said. As a third year RA, Neuber did not have the opportunity to participate in using My Housing online, but imagines the stress it did relieve. “I love the small communiNASIR RANSOM / STAFF WRITER ty feel of the houses because it reminds me of home,” Neuber My housing helped students decide what type of dorm they would live in. said. Junior biology major, Megan Barth didn’t participate in the room selection process this year because of her RA status. “I like that I am living with my friends. I also really like that I have my own kitchen and only share a bathroom with four people,” Barth said. Some argue that the My Housing program made transitions easier due to accessibility. “I don’t think it made transitioning from sophomore
nitely happy to be in the apartments though.” A lot of students are satisfied with the way their living situations turned out this year. Even sophomore Jenee Batts enjoys the choice she made to live in East Residence Hall for a second time around. “I like living in East because there are nice lounges, air conditioning and a lot of diversity. This year I like that I’m closer to the laundry room being on the first floor,” Batts
said. According to Batts, the online My Housing system was easy for her and her roommate to pick their room because of the step-by-step instructions. The new My Housing online system has managed to make choosing rooms for the following year an easy and enjoyable task. Although the upperclassman notice the change in accessibility, it was important to see how the freshman class of 2019 are liking their new living accommodations. Ryan Brong, freshman digital communications and social media major, loves living on campus to get a new perspective on campus life. “I have a lot more freedom to get my work done and I can kind of do whatever I want. I don’t really have restrictions on what I have to do and it’s kind of nice,” Brong said. Brong feels more like an adult with his new-found freedom. Also a member of the swim team he plans to get more involved not just in clubs, but in his major as well. The word is out that the room selection process was made a lot easier last year with the first ever my housing selection system.

ACID member, Rory Early, makes an impact on campus BY DEVON JOHNSON Staff Writer
Throughout campus, there are many organizations, sports and clubs that encourage students to do something extraordinary. One person who works everyday towards doing extraordinary things on Cabrini College’s campus and throughout his life is Rory Early. Early is a junior who has been a part of ACID since the beginning of his college career. ACID stands for Advisory Council for Inclusivity and Diversity. ACID is the campus connection between the inclusive dialogue and the student body. ACID, working out of the Student Diversity, hosts multiple events mainly during Ally week. This group focuses on issues of diversity. Early is currently working within the Student Diversity office as an office aid. “Through copying papers and sorting supplies, I’ve learned a few things about diversity,” Early said. Within his job, Early helps out every way he can, while also being a full time student. “ACID has loosened my vocabulary, my general knowl-
edge on different subjects, helped me become more understanding of peoples’ differences and an overall more understanding person,” Early said, when asked about ACID’s impact on his time at Cabrini. Being a part of ACID has helped Rory grow as a person and a student. Early said that working in the diversity office has expanded his vocabulary and knowledge of issues that impact everyone, brought him spiritually closer to those who are struggling and has helped him to to share his newly learned experiences with others. Sarah Carter, assistant director of programming for diversity initiatives, has worked close with Early since she began working in the Student Diversity office this past Jan. Carter has been shown how committed Early is about his position as a leader in ACID and as an office aid. Carter believes that Early is very committed to the ideas and principles behind diversity and also the clubs and offices purpose. She also recognizes how well his dialogue is when discussing what exactly diversity means and how it is portrayed in everyday situations and conversations and how it helps structure society. “I think Rory really lives the mission of ACID in his actions and his words,” Carter said, when asked about

Fall has its own food-style trending on campus BY JESSICA NIELDS Staff Writer
The morning air is getting crisp and the leaves are starting to change, which can only mean one thing; fall is right around the corner. This means time for delicious fall food. Fall has some of the most unique foods ranging from pumpkin spice to apple cider to Thanksgiving dinner. After surveying campus about their favorite fall foods, trends began to develop. This fall season students are definitely loving the pumpkin spice flavors, whether it is coffee from Starbucks, Wawa or Dunkin Donuts or even water ice from Rita’s, fall flavors are all the rage. “I love to go to Dunkin to get pumpkin spice coffee and pumpkin flavored donuts. They’re my favorite,” sophomore education major, Nicole Zazzera, said. Another popular food trend that students are loving this fall season are apples. Whether people prefer caramel apples, apple pie, apple cider or fresh apples, Linvilla Orchards is a great place to pick them out. Linvilla Orchards is not too far from school and also has a ton of family fun activities. Students love to go to Linvilla with friends, family or significant others for some delicious apples. Students also said that they love going to fresh fruit and vegetable stands in Lancaster, PA to grab some fresh food for their dorm room or house.
Pumpkin patches were also a common trend. Students love to go out and bond with family, friends or significant others for a hay ride and some fun pumpkin picking. Thanksgiving dinner and Halloween candy are huge fall food trends since both holidays reside in fall months. Students have said they love turkey, banana bread, pie and Thanksgiving mashed potatoes in the fall. Most students eat on campus, but there were similarities in where students went to eat off campus. Most students go to Panera, Dunkin and Wawa for some fall food flavors. Students also love to go to Five Guys and Chipotle for food. “I enjoy going to Panera because they have a variety of pumpkin-flavored and fall shaped desserts in the fall,” sophomore criminology major, Tina Schmucker, said. Many students on campus are not baking much this season, as they are trying to eat a little healthier. “I am down to one plate of communal fries per day,” sophomore business finance and accounting major, Giorgio Courtis, said. While most students eat in Cav’s Corner, some of the students residing in the on-campus apartments are making their own breakfast, lunch and dinner. It seems as if picking produce, sharing fries and eating out is the thing to do, but every student loves a good home-cooked meal. Who can really blame them? Even though students are trying to eat healthier this fall season, they cannot resist some good home baking.
Between pumpkin flavors, home-made donuts and fall festivities, seasonal trends stay current on and off campus.

Students come to ice cream social for good cause BY SARA JOHNSEN Staff Writer
The Wolfington Center at Cabrini College hosted an ice cream social on Sept. 14 to promote social justice and the programs at the Wolfington Center. Many people who attend Cabrini do not know where the Wolfington Center is or what its motives are. Located on the third floor of Founder’s Hall, the Wolfington Center uses events, education and group get-togethers to let students and faculty members experience what social justice is and how it can be seen in local communities. Social justice is the concept that everyone in the community is given equal opportunities, and that not one group of people is favored in society. Examples of social justice could include equal opportunities for quality of education in a community, access to health care or other forms of medical treatment and more. Two of Cabrini’s Mission Corps., Morgan Perry and Vanessa Miranda, attended this event at the Wolfington Center. They introduced a new program called the “Cloud of Witnesses” which is a unique new platform to promote social justice. “Every few months we’re going to ask people around
campus, so staff, students, faculty and more to submit somebody who they think is a witnessto God and how they show it in their actions,” Miranda said. She referenced that the idea of the concept of having “witnesses” came from the biblical reading of Hebrews chapter 12 verse one, which states, “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us.” The Wolfington Center is also greeting new staff to help spread the knowledge of what social justice is and how it can be utilized in communities everywhere. Students at the college are encouraged to become members of the center as well. The main struggle the Wolfington Center faces is the lack of recognition it gets. Students are unfamiliar of what this center is about and how it can help them. The Wolfington Center promotes wellness for the community, but it cannot advertise itself to further benefit the program. “You have ECG classes, so you’re learning about social justices. Why not engage with it outside of the classroom,” Miranda said. The Engagements of the Common Good course
requirement gives students a basic understanding of what social justice is, opening their eyes to a realm of their community they might not have been exposed to otherwise. Students who are looking to further their understanding of social justice, and who are interested in experiencing it first-hand are welcome to join the Wolfington Center to interact with others who have the same values as they do.

Restaurant review: Grand Lux has something for everyone BY ANGELICA LITTLE Staff Writer
With a name like the Grand Lux Cafe, residing in the acclaimed King of Prussia Mall, great service, food and experience were expected and the first impression was memorable. Created by the founders of the Cheesecake Factory, the first Grand Lux Cafe was opened at the Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Chefs at the first restaurant were inspired by trips to different European countries including Italy, France and Vienna. With the blending of European grandeur and the all-American spirit, the upscale yet casual restaurant offers an individual experience. Entering from the back of the King of Prussia Mall, directly across from the Macy’s crosswalk, a golden setting awaits. There are the options of either the stairs, an elevator or an escalator that treats diners to their reflections along the opposite wall as they ascend to the main dining area. Dimmed lights and golden and brown hues decorating the walls make for a warm and welcoming experience. With such a rich history of combining contrasting features to all areas of its structure, the menu is a continuum of such. The Grand Lux Cafe’s menu spans the entire globe. Popular dishes include the indochine shrimp and chicken, which fuses together Chinese and Indian flavors. The appetizers feature a variety including seafood like
volcano shrimp drizzled in spicy chili aioli, korean beef and scallion pancakes served with butter lettuce leaves or American classics like double cheese mini sliders. Steaks are served with the best prime or certified angus beef. Seafood is always fresh with classics such as fish and chips, jumbo shrimp or the foreign mediterranean mahimahi served with mashed potatoes. The casual cuisine features the favorite crispy caramel chicken, chicken parmesan, salisbury steak and other dishes. Salads are separated into three categories: market greens, small and grand salads. Various pastas and toppings are available and interchangeable, allowing diners to create their perfect dish. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, the Grand Lux Cafe opens earlier for a special brunch menu. Bringing a smile of awe to the end of any meal are the desserts, which should be ordered with the entrees, as they take at least 30 minutes to prepare. Featuring an in-house bakery, desserts are freshly baked and served in gargantuan proportions. Taken straight from the oven include molten chocolate cake, warm rustic apple pie, both served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Favorites include deep dark fudge cake, key lime cake and red velvet cake, strawberry shortcake and cheesecakes including original, fresh strawberry and Godiva chocolate. For those who desire extra service, there are several accommodations available. Braille and large print menus are offered. Service animals are welcomed into the restau-
rant. Those with strollers and wheelchairs need not worry. Those with large parties can be seated with no problem. If a birthday is being celebrated and the server is informed, the birthday guest can enjoy an edible birthday card with his or her meal. The Grand Lux Cafe is open Monday to Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Fridays 11:30 a.m. to midnight, Saturdays 10 a.m. to midnight, and Sundays 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. The Grand Lux Cafe found within the King of Prussia Mall can be reached at (610) 768-1620.

Review: rapper Drake started on Degrassi now he’s here BY IAN MCGLYNN Staff Writer
A trending name in today’s music industry is Aubrey “Drake” Graham. Drake has made a substantial impact on the hip-hop industry. Drake famed his hip-hop career in 2006 when releasing his first mixtape, “Room for Improvement,” achieving generous sales with approximately 6,000 copies sold. As we all know, Drake starred on the Canadian television series, Degrassi: The Next Generation, for seven years starting in 2001. In 2008, the producers of Degrassi overhauled the cast, which eliminated not only his character, but his job. Without a job, Drake was left to find a steady income to support his family and himself. This lead to him producing more music in hopes to be signed. Later in 2008, the desperate hiphop artist received an unexpected call from Lil Wayne, a popular hiphip artist and producer, who asked him to join him in Houston Texas to preform side-by-side. After later recording with Lil Wayne, Drake soon released his third official mixtape “So Far Gone,” in Feb. 2009. Off that mixtape, Drake gained significant popularity from his hit single “Best I Ever Had,” which
peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts, making it just the beginning of what is now a brilliant hiphop career. Shortly after, by the middle of 2009, Drake had officially signed a record deal with Lil Wayne’s notorious “Young Money Entertainment.” On June 15, 2010, Drake released his first official studio album. The album, “Thank Me Later,” debuted the No. 1 spot on both American and Canadian Top 100 charts, as he is originally from Canada. The following year, his second studio album, “Take Care,” released which included popular songs such as “Headlines,” “The Motto” and “Over My Dead Body.” Personally, this may have to be one of the best albums in our generation in the perspective of the hiphop genre. “Take Care” was widely acclaimed and nominated for a Grammy Award in 2013. The album went on to win the award blowing away any competition. At this point in Drake’s career, it is believed to be the peak of his reign to success. It is obvious that any obstacle thrown Drake’s way seem to never sidetrack him for long. Within the past two years, Drake released a song that is questionably the song of the year in 2013, called “Started From the Bottom.” The
track was featured off Drake’s critically acclaimed album that reflected his struggles on the path to fame, “Nothing was the Same.” After this album, it was obvious that Drake wanted to make a point to everyone that he worked day-in and day-out to get to where he is at this point in time. Anyone that knows lyrical and quality music looks forward to what the future brings for this rising star known as Drake.

College relationships withstand age differences BY MORIA PRIOR Staff Writer
Balancing a committed relationship and school can be difficult. Relationships can become even more challenging if one’s significant other is already graduated from college. Spending time together is important. However, so is spending time apart. Finding the right balance can add a new level of stress for couples. Trust is a necessary aspect of any healthy relationship. However, maintaining that trust when one partner is living on a college campus and the other is not, can be hard for some couples. It is not easy to trust a significant other living away and being tempted at college parties filled with all different kinds of people and alcohol. Having an older partner can have both its ups and downs. Senior International business major, Meagan Kalinoski, has been dating her partner for a year. Although he graduated from college, they are happy to spend weekends together and occasional dinner plans during the week. “It is really motivating to have someone to look up to and only see them on the weekends,” Kalinoski said. School work during the week and date nights on the weekends could be a great way to balance a relationship. Relationships with an older partner can also be motivating. Sometimes students are more inclined to work harder during the week because they get to see their significant other on the weekend and the relationship can be a positive reinforcement. However, if they focus their attention on worrying about the next time they’ll see their partner, it could have negative affects on school work and social life on campus. Kalinoski feels the relationship can almost be easier to
handle because of the older partner’s schedule. “It’s easy to work out time to see them because they work full time and have the same schedule almost every day,” Kalinoski said. There are both pros and cons to being away from significant others. A prime example of a con would be the struggle of not being able to spend time with a partner nearly as much as one would like throughout the week. Junior criminology and psychology major, Erin Gleason, has been dating her boyfriend Josh, a Temple graduate, for two years. When she is back at school she gets to see him more often because they live closer to each other than when she is at home for the summer. “One of the biggest struggles for me is not being able to see him as much as I’d like throughout the week,”Kallinoski said. The pro to this idea is the time apart allows time to focus on personal things, therefore allowing more accomplishments throughout the week without any distractions. Gleason added, “I think I would skip homework and studying to spend time with him if he went to the same school as me.” Not being distracted during the week and focusing on studying may be the ideal way to tackle the challenging task of balancing a relationship and staying on top of school work.

Students in relationships work hard to stay together on and off campus.
Students balance school and work BY BRITTNEY PALMER Staff Writer
Mo’ money more problems right? Wrong. Many students on campus are dealing with the exact opposite. Less money, more problems seems to be a reoccurring problem here at Cabrini College. Proper budgeting and adapting good-spending habits could be the end of student’s financial worries. There are many places here on campus that students can make money. Cabrini has a program called work study. If eligible, you can get a job doing almost anything on campus. Things like becoming a desk assistant, tutor or a librarian’s assistant are all jobs given through the federal work study program. Senior, Jasmine Bahamond, balances two jobs along with school. Bahamond works one on campus as a desk assistant and one off campus job at the Norristown library. These jobs are not jobs that pay handsomely but they do help. Bahamond has set up her schedule in a way where she does not work on weekends at all. She feels this gives her
wiggle-room to handle personal and school related things in a way that is suitable and convenient for her. Her money is split between gas, food, clothing, and extra little necessities she may need. “I put 40 dollars into my savings every pay period; it helps me feel more stable because I have savings to fall back on if necessary. Thankfully I haven’t needed to go into my savings yet,” Bahamond said. Jasmine recommends meal-prepping and pinpointing when to go to the cafeteria to bulk up on food items that can hold you through the week. Bahamond is just one of many students who balance work and school. Junior, Jerome Bailey, is another Cabrini student who handles responsibilities of work and school. Bailey is a manager at the Philadelphia Zoo and has been working there for a total of five years now. Unlike Bahamond, Bailey only works on weekends. He does admit that the pay is not anything out of this world but he has to stick with it because he has bills that need to be
paid. “Car insurance, a phone bill, having pocket money and having an expensive girlfriend are all things I need to keep up with financially,” Bailey said. Although Bailey has many financial responsibilities, he still finds a way to put aside fifty dollars from every other paycheck to go towards his savings. All in all, saving is key. It is safe to save. No one wants to be a broke college kid. Make money and remember balance and budgeting are important.

Sports injuries and mental toughness go hand in hand BY NICOLE SOKOLOVICH Staff Writer When getting involved in a sport it is pretty clear that there is a good chance an athlete could injure themself. Not only do these injuries affect one physically but mentally as well. The way the athlete handles the situation is a huge factor of how one thinks mentally. An injury can take a toll on a player’s body in many different ways. Mentally, it can be very difficult because they put so much effort into preparing for their respective seasons and just like that it could be over. All the hard work that one puts in seems like it was for nothing and it is extremely hard not to think that way. CREATIVE COMMONS No longer are they that voice on the field or on the court but as a teammate According to livestrong.com, the NCAA and the National Athletic Trainer’s Association they can continue to be a voice for their reported that their are 12,500 injuries per year in all of collegiate sports. team on the sidelines. the tunnel,” Penecale said. “Whenever you will take her to fully recover but she is not Someone like Sam Penecale, sophohave an injury there always comes a time focused on that. more, soccer player, has been prone to when you make a full recovery.

Trying to figure out the “what ifs” or thinking of ways that you would have done it differently will not help one physically or mentally when trying to recover.

Not everyone believes all kids deserve trophies BY MADISON WORLEY Staff Writer
It is possible to have heard the cliche expression “everyone’s a winner,” but that is not necessairly true in today’s athletics. It is interesting to see how athletes react when asked the question “does every kid deserve a trophy?” Nick Alizzi, freshman, said, “No, why should you get a trophy if you don’t win? If everyone gets a trophy, what is the point of keeping score?” Nowadays, it may seem as though every young athlete receives a participation trophy, but does that really mean the kid is athletic? When children are little, they may not understand the gravity of a trophy, kids just find it fun. “When you are young kids should receive trophies to keep them excited about their sport and to keep them involved in athletics going in to the future,” Alexia Paglia, sophomore, said. It may be important to excite kids when they are young about being involved in a sport and make them want to continue. NFL Steelers player James Harrison believes kids should not receive participation trophies. Trophies must be earned for athletic competition and strength, not just for showing up to the game, according to Harrison. He believes his kids must work hard to receive praise. Although he is proud of his kids, they should continue to progress as athletes and not play just to get rewarded. It is hard to find a true clear cut answer, when kids are five, six or seven-years old and they pick up a sport for the first time.They have no clue if they will love it or hate it, so trophies are a way to sell kids on becoming athletes. When one weighs the outcomes of both giving kids trophies and not, there are pros and cons for both. If kids continue to receive trophies for just participating, they could begin to expect rewards for every athletic competition they enter.
At the same time, they will be excited to play the sport because they know they will receive a reward. In this way, kids can be active and in shape. However, if trophies are taken away from kids, they could begin to think they are not as athletic or talented as kids who receive trophies for athletic competitions. Going off of that idea, if kids do not get rewarded just for showing up, they may fall in love with the sport, not for the glory of it but for the love of the game itself. There may be no right or wrong answer for whether coaches should keep honoring kids who show up to practice or just when they win championships. Sports are important to keep kids in shape and healthy, so trophy or no trophy, children should play the game with heart. MADISONWORLEY3@GMAIL.COM

A Cav’s
perspective: Nicole Broccolino BY NICOLE BROCCOLINO Guest Writer I started tennis when I was five years old. My parents decided to introduce me to the game because they knew it was something I could play for the rest of my life. Tennis, however, was just another sport at the time. Like many children at that age, I became involved in a variety of athletics and other activities, trying to figure out what really kept my interest. As time passed, I became passionate about the sport and realized that it was something I wanted to keep in my life because it was an enjoyable challenge. I continued to take private lessons and when I was ten years old, I decided to join a club team that I stayed with for the following eight years. It is so rewarding to be able to continue playing tennis in college because it has given me so much throughout the years, such as lasting friends, jobs, and a way I can just escape from the busyness of everyday life and unwind- something I will always appreciate. Tennis has shaped my character and strengthened my personality. The sport has tested me; it has taught me defeat but also allowed me to experience victory. I owe a lot to the game. NEB43@CABRINI.EDU

Cross country teams looking forward to succesful season BY ALLIE STEIN Staff Writer It is early in the season, but the men’s and women’s cross country teams are already looking forward to another successful season. The Cavaliers opened their season on Sept. 5 at the Colonial States Athletic Conference Championship Preview Meet in Scranton, Pa. The 5K meet included nine women’s teams and eight men’s teams. Both the women and men’s side had strong showings. The women were able to score a top10 finish, placing sixth overall. Head Coach Joe Dare is in his third season here at Cabrini, and guiding the Cavs as they grow both in numbers and talent.
New to the team this season includes freshman Andrew Sennett. At The CSAC preview meet, Sennett scored a top-10 finish, placing eighth overall with a finishing time of 18:43.3. Returning members to the Blue and White are excited to be back and ready to see the success a larger team can achieve. Junior Emily Lauziere is eager for the 2015 season to be in full swing. “I am excited to watch the new members grow and progress throughout the season. We might be light on experience, but I’m extremely impressed with the level of dedication the team has shown,” Lauziere said. Lauziere was a key member for the Lady Cavs in their 2014 season. She placed 25th at the CSAC Championship, crossing the finish line in 25:52.
On the men’s side, returning team members include sophomore Kevin Blake. At the 2014 CSAC Championship, Blake crossed the finish line in 37:45, placing 53rd. Blake said prior cross county training has not made a difference to the commitment and desire the team has as a whole. “We are all here with a desire to become better runners. This is proven by the team’s commitment to practice, and the sweat that rolls down their face after a hard workout,” Blake added. On both the men’s and women’s side, there is no doubt that all of this hard work is going to pay off when it comes time for the CSAC Championship. 13ASTEIN@GMAIL.COM

Lady cavs draw against Delaware Valley BY MOLLY SEAMAN Staff Writer
CABRINIATHLETICS.COM
Broccolino was named to the allCSAC second team for singles last season.
On Friday, Sep. 11 the Cabrini Cavaliers traveled to Doylestown, Pa to take on the Delaware Valley Rams for the fourth game of the season. Despite two impressive goals by senior forward Dana Peterson, the game ended in a 2-2 tie improving the Cavaliers to a 0-3-1 record. “Our goal for the game was just to relax and have fun. Our team came out really strong and worked hard the entire game,” Peterson said. Both teams recorded a total of 18 shots with notable attempts from seniors Meghan Martin and Devon Miller as well as from sophomore Lisette Hrapmann. In the final minute of regulation, Delaware Valley junior Karla Keler scored a goal
to tie the game with just 11 seconds to spare. During the two extra 10-minute periods, Cabrini recorded the only shot on goal. Goalie Alivia Dietsch tallied a total of six saves to defend the tie. Although the team is smaller than in previous years, the Cavaliers are still driven to play bigger than ever before. “Our dynamic as a team has changed. We’re closer than we’ve ever been and we play as a more possessive team,” sophomore Brittany Runyen said. With six home games left and 12 games left in the regular season the team will slowly but surely start to prepare for postseason. “We’re a very positive and family-oriented team. I think that we’ll be able to push each other to reach our goals of winning CSAC’s as well as put ourselves in good position for NCAA,” sophomore midfielder
Taylor Tralie said. The next home game will be held on Tuesday, Sep. 29 against New York University at 6:30 p.m. MISSMOLLYS96@GMAIL.COM

Kane takes on new leadership role this season BY CAELYN WORYK Staff Writer
JORDAN CLOUTHIER / PHOTO FOR PUB
Kane was named to the all-CSAC second team last season.
Junior Bobby Kane plays men’s soccer at Cabrini. When Kyle Pettican, sophomore midfielder, was asked why his teammate deserves recognition as an athlete, he said, “He has led the team. He helps the young guys well. He’s a good captain role. We don’t have a captain this year and he has proven that he could be one.” Kane recalls his dedication to the sport beginning at the young age of three or four when his parents put a soccer ball between his feet. He fell in love with the sport in that moment and has been playing ever since. His parents have always been supportive of him being an athlete and have never missed a game. His mom still makes it a point to keep a scrapbook of anywhere Kane’s name is shown or wherever his photos show up for sports. Coach Rob Dallas said, “I think a lot of young student athletes come here and are really focused on soccer and want that to be a huge part of life, and it
can be, but there’s an important need to understand the balance; that the athletics part isn’t here for you if you don’t take care of the academic piece. Just like on the field, the hours that he puts in between training and getting better, the same thing happens in the classroom. Kane is a very hardworking person for everything that he achieves, and he deserves all that success.” Kane’s daily routine is waking up, going to class, going to the trainers right after class, getting treatment, going out to the practice field, practicing for two hours and finally going home to do assignments. He said, “I don’t have a lot of time but it’s worth it.” Although he admits that schoolwork and soccer take up the majority of his time, he says that he has no regrets because it was his decision to take on the responsibilities of being a student athlete. Freshmen soccer player, Jared Irwin said, “My first day here, Kane made me feel welcome. He didn’t make me feel outcasted. From the first day, he made me feel like I was apart of the team
even though in the beginning it was just tryouts. He made me feel welcome.” When asked what sets Kane aside, coach Brady said, “The on-the-field stuff is important to us but at the end of the day his career is going to end and he’s going to be a 22-year-old kid that now has to go out into the world and find a job and find a way to exist in that job. So I think that’s one of the things I like most about Kane, his ability to put friendships and all those sorts of things aside and just find a way to connect with the guys around him.” Kane’s words of advice to other student athletes are, “Never be satisfied with what you have. Always want more, always work harder, always strive to be better, and always make everyone feel welcome, too.” CWWORYK@GMAIL.COM

Men’s soccer lands victory over Ursinus BY MEGAN SCHAFER Staff Writer
The men’s soccer team played against Ursinus College this past weekend. The Cavaliers won 2- 1 against the Ursinus bears.Senior Mike Camacho and junior A.J Bishop provided offense for the Cavaliers, each pairing a goal and an assist. The Cavaliers outshot the Bears 11-7, including a 7-2 advantage in goal shots. Bishop tallied a season-high six shots, including three on target. Cabrini’s defense unit was solid in victory. Junior goaltender C.J Serratore needed one shot to secure the win for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers opened the scoring in the first 37 minutes, when Bishop’s pass sprung Camacho to the goal for his first tally of the season. The Bears evened the score at the 68th minute on a goal by junior Ryan Molyneaux, but at the
80th minute a red card forced the Bears to continue the game with a man down. Cabrini took advantage of that opportunity in the 84th minute, as Camacho’s through pass launched Bishop to a short breakaway for his teamleading fourth goal of the season. So far during the season the team has been working really hard and preparing for the games as a team. Diego Ramirez, who, is a sophomore international business major said, “I think the season is going very well. We’re off to a great start and doing good things as a team. I really feel our team has a sense of closeness. It’s still early in the season but we are pushing each other to get better.” So far during the season the team has been working really hard and preparing for the games as a team.

major said, “Our goals are to keep building our chemistry as a team, win our CSAC conference, and make a good run in the NCAA tournament.” Head coach Robert Dallas is very positive about the team this year and hopes they make it to the CSAC Conference along with the NCAA tournament. “That the team always wants to improve,” coach Dallas said. They work hard so they can advance at the tournament, also so when the season ends they are better than when they started the season.” “We are always expecting to win each time we step on the field. It was a little more nerve wrecking than we hoped but we still came out with a 2-1 win and we’re happy with our result,” Fiore said. The game was great and winning the game was a huge step in earning respect from other teams,” Ramirez said. MEGAN.SCHAFER2014@ GMAIL.COM

He deserves another couple weeks to figure it out after all the time he has missed due to injury. If he doesn’t figure it out soon though it might be to late for the Eagles
season. Pat: Do you think the Eagles miss weapons like Jeremy Maclin or DeSean Jackson at the wide receiver position?
Pat: When the Eagles cut DeSean Jackson I thought they would be fine because Maclin is a true weapon. When Maclin signed with the Chiefs all of a sudden the Eagles are stuck with just Jordan Matthews, who has only played one year in the league. They spent a first round draft pick on Nelson Agholor, who has not done much so far. So far it looks like they miss a big time play maker like Maclin but that could be because the offense as a whole has been bad. Kev: What do you expect to happen next week against the New York Jets?
Pat: I believe Bradford bounces back and has a solid game. The Jets have looked good so far but if the Eagles play well than the better team will come out on top. KMM609@GMAIL.COM
