Many fear great challenges in the future for Pope Francis I, especially due to Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation. Benedict left behind continuous sex scandals and what seems to be a broken church; however, others are hopeful that the Latino Jesuit Pope will bring some change to what is happening in the Church. Francis I is the first Jesuit pope to be elected, representing a slightly more liberal stance on some issues.
Another Carnival ship loses power Many probably hoped that this would not happen again—especially so soon—but another Carnival Cruise Lines ship lost power while sailing on Thursday. This ship, The Carnival Dream lost power on its way back to Florida and the generator failed while docked in the Caribbean. The toilets stopped working very quickly and no one was allowed to leave. The cruise line is already arranging to fly passengers back to Florida, so hopefully things will not become as disastrous as last month’s ship in the Gulf.

Facebook to adopt the use of hashtags
Facebook is finally working on incorporating hashtags into its website. Hashtags have been very popular and the brainchild of Twitter, as well as Tumblr and Instagram. Facebook is hoping to incorporate the use of hashtags so that people can be involved in group conversations surrounding certain topics. Many people use hashtags sarcastically on Facebook, but there is no real reason to do so as of now. - compiled by Lizzie Carr

Selected excerpts from reports
Thursday, March 14 At approximately 1 p.m., an officer was dispatched to respond to a report of larceny from a credit card. Upon arrival, the officer met with a student who stated that, between 5 and 5:30 p.m. on March 13, he went to Boulder, and when he returned to his residence, he noticed his credit card was missing. The student continued to look for his card, but could not find it. Between 9:30 and 10 p.m. on March 13, the student’s roommate stated that an officer returned the card to him. The student informed his mother about the incident and the card was checked, with the following unauthorized charges shown as ‘pending’: prepaid phone, $50; Facebook, $150; Craig’s List, $225. There is no further information to report at this time. Friday, March 15 At approximately 8:45 p.m., while an officer was investigating a prior call, an officer came upon a noise violation. After knocking on the door of the room that was the source of the noise, a student answered, at which point the officer advised her that he was sent in reference to extremely loud music. Once the music was turned off, the officer requested that everyone present in the apartment needed to come to the door. Four students were present when the officer requested IDs. The officer asked a second time if anyone else was present in the apartment, and the student stated, “no,” and got very heated, asking why did the officer need everyone at the front. After hearing some movement, the officer asked a third time for everyone to come to the door; two other individuals came out. One of the two persons was a visitor, who was advised that she must stay with a female friend when staying on campus. Saturday, March 16 At 12:04 a.m., an officer was dispatched to the Homeland gate at Notre Dame Lane for an injured person. When the officer arrived, he spoke with the injured person, a student who said that, while climbing over the 8-foot fence of Homeland Southway, the top of the fence snagged his left arm, causing a 6-inch cut. The student said he climbed over the fence because he did not have a key to gain access back to campus. A medic was called and arrived around 12:20 a.m. to treat the cuts. The student signed the refusal of treatment/transport form and declined to be transported to the hospital.

Invitation sparks discourse about conflicting Catholic, divergent beliefs on sexuality By Jenn Ruckel Editor In Chief Dialogue over freedom of discussion at religious universities has spread across the country, and Loyola encountered its first such dispute over sexuality. On Feb. 3, Spectrum president Teeni Sanchez ’14 invited Mary Washington of the Maryland House of Delegates to speak at the keynote of this year’s Sexual Diversity Awareness Week (SDAW). The purpose of SDAW, according to Spectrum’s mission, is to expose and discuss issues relevant to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered individuals both on the Loyola campus and in American society at large. “[Delegate Washington] was invited to talk about samesex marriage in the context of the historical and political significance of its becoming legal in Maryland,” said Dr. Barbara Vann, sociology professor and co-moderator of Spectrum. However, according to Dr. Sheilah Horton, vice president of Student Development and dean of students, “Our understanding was that [Delegate Washington] was coming to talk about the marriage equality legislation, how that was passed, and to sort of advocate for that position.” If this were the case, Father Linnane and Dr. Horton said that it would be necessary to create balance by finding a way to bring in the Catholic perspective of marriage equality, since Student Development would promote the event. “When I get nervous is when there’s only one perspective, there’s only one note being offered—and that note is clearly contrary to the teaching of the Church. I would ask you to think, how do I defend, then, that we really are in sync with the Catholic Church—that we really have a relationship with them—that the university education that we offer is a Catholic one when the only perspective on a major issue of the day is one that is contrary to the teaching of the Church and that this was sponsored by Student Development,”
said Father Linnane. Initial confusion over the topic of Delegate Washington’s keynote resulted in mixed reactions from certain administrators and members of the GLBTA (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally) population on campus regarding how policy would be implemented, though it was later decided that Delegate Washington would not speak at this event. Father Linnane expressed that this has been a rather “unique” situation for Loyola as a program under Student Development that would likely have attracted many students. In terms of policy on how potentially controversial issues of expression are dealt with at Loyola University, we can reference the “Freedom of Expression” clause under Student Life and Services in the Undergraduate Catalogue, which is featured on our cover. Given our university’s unique standing as a liberal arts school that is both Catholic and Jesuit, the manner in which this freedom of expression is interpreted can sometimes conflict. Father Linnane and Dr. Horton felt that if Delegate Washington were to speak on campus about what they perceived to be promotion of a counter-Catholic view, another perspective should be present. Dr. Vann and a few other faculty members included in the conversation disagreed strongly since the keynote would focus on the historical and political context of civil marriage, and were surprised by what they perceived to be a new policy of requiring a Catholic counter-view. Dr. Vann felt that if this policy continued to be an area of contention for Loyola organizations, it would need to be clarified and made more transparent, since she felt that Spectrum had more freedom of expression in the past. “I kind of was surprised at first, but I wanted to come to a compromise so I was going to work with them,” said Sanchez, although the compromise was not reached for this week’s event, due in part to a scheduling conflict on campus. “Franky, we decided that that was not the program we were looking
for and just wanted to highlight the political process and not deal with matters of the Church.” Sanchez said that she did not want to disrespect the Catholic view in any way, but referred to this matter as more of a separation of Church and state. “The purpose of SDAW is to educate about sexual diversity, because knowledge about sexual diversity is very lacking,” said Dr. Vann. “That is, to increase awareness about issues of sexuality not otherwise included in Loyola students’ education. Loyola students get plenty of education about Catholic teaching.” However, Father Linnane feels that the understanding of Catholic moral tradition is shallow among young people. “I would be very surprised if there was wide-spread and sophisticated understanding of what the Catholic Church’s objections were to samesex marriage among our students,” he said, expecting that student opinions were likely more gut reactions than closely reasoned ones, which is why he encouraged more indepth discussion of this topic. Bringing these diverging and comprehensive viewpoints to the floor—not for debate, but for discussion—would be a compelling program in many students’ opinions, but Spectrum did not design this event for that purpose, and as a result of conversing about the discrepancy with Student Development, some students and faculty have been left feeling frustrated and unsupported. “The general reaction has not been positive,” said Sanchez, in reference to Spectrum’s feelings about their interactions with Student Development. She frequently updated her executive board about the situation, and they plan to meet with Dr. Horton and Michelle Cheatem, associate dean of students who serves as an advisor to Spectrum, in order to process what happened and mediate some of the tensions. “Whether intentional or not, a message is being sent to GLBTA students, faculty, staff and administrators: we (and our beliefs)
are wrong, unacceptable, morally inferior compared to Catholicism,” said Dr. Vann. “What we deem important can be included only if viewed through the lens of Catholic teaching. The Catholic position is privileged; it trumps everything else.” Dr. Horton expressed that she is intent on remedying the situation, and mending the relationships that have been strained. “So I’ve heard that some people are upset, some people feel unwelcomed as a result of this conversation, and we want to find ways to reach out and connect with those students,” she said. “I want to listen and hear what this has meant to them and find ways that we can work together from here.” Dr. Horton also intends to reach out to Spectrum’s moderators and faculty in OUTLoyola (a group of faculty, staff, and administrators who are interested in promoting equality and informed dialogue about LGBT issues at Loyola, according to their mission statement) to continue the conversation. Dr. Horton said that since having a balanced perspective was problematic in this instance, she expects that OUTLoyola may host Delegate Washington next fall through the auspices of an academic department. Under the academic freedom clause, Student Development’s expectations regarding balanced viewpoints do not apply. Since these expectations have been challenging, Dr. Vann explained that Spectrum could move out of Student Development. While they would not have the same funds, they could decide to have standing as a club through Student Activities, though Dr. Vann is not sure this solution will address all their concerns. According to Sanchez, while the situation has been frustrating, the Spectrum team will continue working together on educational and social programming. “All of the executive board members are returning next year, which is great news!” said Sanchez. “We have a good team who is dedicated and is trying to navigate a Catholic institution.”
lawful and what is right can we address issues such as oppression. Edwards then advised that we all be self-aware. Nazis, for example, used a cloak of legality; everything Adolf Hitler did was technically legal. Edwards then localized the criticism of legalized hatred. She said, “Who was it that we were legitimated to hate circa 9/11? Legitimation for hating a certain group…we were again legitimated to hate a particular group who we might not have hated on our own…We’re legitimated to hate…Constantly be aware, because it is a part of our past…” Edwards also brought up the fact that race doesn’t exist, and that we have simply made up the concept of racial division. These social and political constructs enable some, while they inhibit the vast majority of others. The existential approach to the notion of human dignity is that segregation relegates persons to the status of things. It forces a person to experience the negation of their being. Living in segregated space means not being able to fully “be” and segregated people are left so drained of self-respect that they lose their sense of being somebody. Oppression against a group of people is something that has been repeated throughout.
As Edwards said, “One of the greatest delusions is that history progresses.” Black Americans during the Civil Rights era and natives in India have both been subjected to the same system of injustice. In India, it is frowned upon to marry a person who is outside of your class. Edwards said, “You have to get into the argument, you have to do everything you possibly can to make those changes that you think are valuable and you think are just.” Professor Charles Borges compared King to Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi’s methods of nonviolent protest can be closely compared to King’s methods. Both Gandhi and King call for four basic steps: study facts first, negotiate, self-purify and finally take direct action. These steps allow the victim to shame the oppressor. Borges also pointed out the fact that King speaks from Christian position, but he also brings in perspectives from Hinduism and Buddhism. These religious affiliations are what help to invoke empathy in the oppressors. A solution to the problem of oppression was proposed by professor Andrea Leary who said, “If you want progress that matters, you have to get into the argument.” Referring
to the selected King text, Leary said, “What he’s trying to get at is understanding…He says, ‘Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say wait.’…He creates a reality.” She further refers to the relatable nature of the text, as King writes until you “are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of “nobodiness”—then you will understand.” Professor Leary stated that, “It is a matter of life and death that we don’t think shallowly.” Throughout his life, King referred to segregation as a disease. He knew that “justice delayed is justice denied,” and fought for the civil rights of all oppressed persons. The reflection and understanding of King’s stance in the symposium was rooted in each professor’s commentary. Junior Meghan Bhatia said, “I thought it was a well-done, extensive analysis of Martin Luther King’s letter. I also thought it allowed for an opening of different perspectives to view it through. It opens up the gateway to reflect on every aspect of what he said.”
Humanities symposium addresses racism in a ‘post-racial’ world By Miriam McKinney Contributing Writer The discrepancy between the words and the reality of the statement “all men are created equal, and are endowed…freedom…life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” was challenged Wednesday in McManus Theatre. The topic of discussion and reflection was “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This symposium, conducted and sponsored by the Center for Humanities, was titled The Post-Racial Blues. Though the symposium’s title refers to our current state as being “post-racial,” in many ways, human oppression still thrives. Racism, sexism and sexual orientation inequality are all relevant, pertinent issues. Many students posed questions during the symposium, asking, if King were here, where would he be directing his energies? What means would he use? How do you challenge “shallow understanding” when it’s everywhere? History professor Jane Edwards said, “Ask how and why? Prove what you say.” She then continued to say that only when we understand the differences between what is

Relay for Life continues fundraising success at ninth annual event
By Lauren Heery Contributing Writer
What have you been doing over the past four months? If your answer is raising over $150,000 for cancer awareness, research and patient support, you may have been involved in Loyola’s chapter of Relay for Life. In characteristic style, Loyola was painted purple last week while celebrating the final days leading up to the annual event. Culminating in the overnight fundraising and community celebration, 101 teams with a total of 1,309 participants gathered from 7p.m. on March 16 to 7a.m., March 17 in Reitz Arena and McGuire Hall. In the past few years, Relay has consistently been one of Loyola’s biggest campus events and traditions. Despite competition with St. Patrick’s Day weekend festivities and the recent mumps outbreak, turnout at Relay was strong and proved the continuing commitment of the Loyola community to celebrating, remembering and fighting back against cancer—and fundraising. Loyola Relay for Life participants raised $152,802.43 by the end of the event Sunday morning. This weekend’s Relay event followed 2012’s record year of fundraising. Honored as the 2012 National Top Relay Challenge Winner and the 2012 Nationwide Division Per Capita Award, Loyola’s Relay for

while always adding a little flair to it.” This year some of that flair came from sportsrelated fundraising and registration drives. Supporting Baltimore’s “other purple team,” Relay organized a Super Bowlthemed fundraiser in early February. Weeks later, capitalizing on the revived lacrosse rivalry with University of Maryland, the Relay Committee hosted a registration drive encouraging 100 Loyola students to register before UMD gained 100 new participants. Preceding the NCAA Basketball Championships, Relay dubbed its final week of events as Relay March Madness. Throughout the year, fundraising events have focused on holidays and were integrated into Loyola-specific events. O’Brien notes this as part of the Relay Committee’s strategy: “We look at what’s going on on-campus and see if there are any groups we can collaborate with.” Even if students did not participate in Relay’s main event this weekend, chances are they contributed in some way through the numerous campus events. Just before the kickoff event, Relay sponsored a raffle for Carrie Underwood concert tickets. Fall T-shirt sales began in mid-November. The Annual Turkey Carving saw some of its proceeds go to Relay, and the final days before Christmas were called the 12 Days of Relay. As the fall semester closed, Relay extended its community collaboration to the York Road Corridor and Roland Park with a restaurant week featuring Pei Wei, the Evergreen Cafe and Sofi’s Crepes. With only $25,000 raised by the first week of the Spring Semester, the committee upped the ante in the closing two months of fundraising. Hosting a post-Bull-and-Oyster night at Powerplant Live connected Relay with seniors and alumni. The Nevergreen’s annual performance in late January helped continue to raise funds. February brought more restaurant nights at Chik-fil-A and the Evergreen Cafe, while Valentine’s Day featured candy-grams. Spring Break, noted by the Relay for Life Facebook page, was the perfect opportunity to “Recruit, Register and Raise Awareness.” From March 5 to March 7, a unique inter-university fundraising initiative was sponsored by four South-Atlantic region universities: Loyola, Virginia Tech, James Madison University and University of Georgia. “Crossing enemy lines for the cure,” the four college relay programs

Life program has maintained its powerful presence on campus and resonated as a force in the community. In the past two school years, Loyola has also been named the highest per capita fundraising team in the South Atlantic Region. After all these fundraising achievements, Relay sustains its success. Lauren O’Brien, junior and Relay for Life co-chair, said, “It’s just about trying to keep students interested and excited about Relay. We tend to do some of the same fundraisers year after year, but new spins on old fundraisers.” These fundraisers run throughout the year and started on Nov. 7 with the annual Relay kickoff. The kickoff often features performances from campus groups, like the Belles and Chimes, and serves as an early opportunity for teams and individuals to register for Relay and start fundraising. “We maintain high fundraising by making our fundraisers interesting and unique opportunities that cater to what students want, such as bake sales, going out to dinner and, of course, everyone’s favorite thing, T-shirts,” said sophomore and Fundraising Committee Co-Chair Kayla McKnight. “We stick to what we know works and to what everyone wants

pledged to raise $100,000 and register 1,000 participants for their respective spring relay events. In the final weekend before Relay, the $48 in 48 hours challenge was held from March 8 to March 9 to encourage last minute donation boosts. The Relay for Life Committee successfully made its event a Loyola achievement. In addition to the great energy and dedication of the Relay Committee, much of the fundraising takes place at the individual and team levels. A few hours into Relay, the committee announced the winners of the Top Relayer Challenge: junior Samantha Van Doran came in first, with senior Samantha Garvey and freshman Ryan Glass following in second and third place, respectively. This fundraising challenge honored the top individual fundraisers. “Fundraising came easy for me this y e a r, ” s a i d Va n Doran, a Relay committee member. “I contacted a few of my aunts and uncles and some people from my church at home. Everyone I know has been really supportive, and I appreciate it so much.” Van Doran’s work with Relay, like many participants’, is especially personal, as she lost her father to esophageal cancer last fall. “He was and always will be my best friend and my hero,” said Van Doran. Unlike Van Doran, Garvey is not a member of the

Relay committee. “I had never heard of Relay for Life before coming to Loyola,” said Garvey. “[I] joined a team my freshman year and loved the sense of community at the event and the passion of the people on committee. The cause is really inspiring,” she said. Garvey, like Van Doran sticks to traditional methods of fundraising by contacting friends and relatives. In the past, her team set up a Wii for people to play with at Relay for one or two tickets. Creative ideas for fundraising were demonstrated at Relay by both the committee and teams.

Death penalty repeal awaits governor’s signature Students will not have to dig too deep to dig in
By Lindsey Rennie Staff Writer
On Wednesday, March 6, the Maryland Senate passed a bill to repeal the death penalty, and Governor Martin O’Malley is poised to sign it, taking a small step in the vast arena of prison reform. The bill passed by a vote of 27-20, as the issue is one not split down party lines. Now, the bill will go to the House of Delegates in Annapolis. The governor, who is an advocate of the repeal, has said he would sign the bill. Since the death penalty was reinstated by the U.S. government in 1976, only five people have been executed in the state of Maryland, all by lethal injection; the last execution occurred in 2005. Currently in Maryland, a person can only be sentenced to the death penalty if he or she is over the age of 18 and not suffering from any form of mental illness at the time of the crime. The only crime punishable in the state by death is first-degree murder. But if the repeal of the death penalty in Maryland
passes, it would replace death sentences with life in prison without the possibility of parole. “I’m for the death penalty in terms of serial violent offenders, like rapists and murders,” said sophomore Da’Shante Smith. “But I

repealed the death penalty, the federal death penalty can still be applied. There are currently 60 people on federal death row. Nationally, Southern states are known to execute most frequently, with Texas as the frontrunner. According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the state has executed 1, 244 since 1819, more than any other state, though California and Florida have more people on death row than Texas. Overall, Texas is second in executions only to Virginia. Around the world, 139 countries currently have the death penalty, with China executing the most people—thousands annually—though an exact number is unknown. Iran comes in second, executing 1,663 people between 2007 and 2011, according to Amnesty International. The United States is the only country in the western hemisphere to still execute people. In the United States, there is evidence of severe inequities in those who are executed, as well as proof that many people who have been sentenced to death were later found to be innocent. African Americans make up 12.6 percent of the population of the United States, yet 43 percent of the population of death row. Seventy-seven percent of those on death row have been executed for killing whites, though about half of all murder victims are black. According to Amnesty International, since 1973, over 130 people have been released from death row due to evidence of wrongful convictions. “I believe there is a lack of fairness when it comes to our legal system and sentencing human beings to death,” said first-year student Maggie Romero. “Perhaps the death penalty does not seem so harsh since society dehumanizes the individual then justifies dehumanization by saying, ‘he or she is a murderer or rapist.’” Like the majority of those in Maryland and the nation, Romero supports the use of the death penalty only in the most limited sense and in the most severe of cases.

don’t want the death penalty to become a legal genocide. I don’t like life without parole because the prisoners don’t have any outside motivation to change, and we can’t guarantee that something internal will act as motivation.” Originally, there was a provision in the Maryland bill that would provide for some funds saved by the repeal to be allocated to victims’ families, though this provision was stripped in committee. If the repeal is passed, Maryland would become the 18th state in the nation to prohibit capital punishment since 1976. Even if the governor signs the bill into law, though, Marylanders may still have a chance to vote on the repeal as a referendum in 2014. According to a recent poll by The Washington Post, 60 percent of Marylanders support the death penalty in Maryland. Currently in Maryland, death penalty cases cost, on average, three times more than non-death penalty cases, totalling about $3 million a case. In California, for example, according to the California Commission for the Fair Administration of Justice, the current justice system costs $137 million annually. Without the death penalty, it would cost $11.5 million annually. Even in those states that have

The Math Club celebrated Pi Day on March 14 by selling consumable—and throwable—pies on the quad, with all money raised going to Relay. Several groups on campus sponsored teams and offered unique fundraising incentives. SGA held a raffle for dinner and a ride with Baltimore’s own infamous cab driver Phyllis. The Relay Committee was also excited to have a Jail and Bail at Relay. Students could
have friends arrested for a certain number of tickets and then taken to the jail in McGuire. Posting bail required the arrestee to pay double the number of tickets it cost to have them arrested. As with Relay events in the past, the night included performances by the Belles and Chimes, several Loyola-based bands, minute-to-win-it competitions and hair donations. This year also featured a Zumba hour, a Mr. Loyola competition and a get well card-making station. Ultimately, the funds raised at Loyola’ Relay event, after covering for fundraising and event expenses, will go to the Maryland Hope Lodge in downtown Baltimore in the
University of Maryland Medical Center. The Maryland Hope Lodge is part of a nationwide network of temporary housing locations funded by the American Cancer Society for patients who must travel long distances to receive cancer care. Although Relay is over for this year, donations can still be made to Loyola’s Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society online at www.Relayforlife. org/LoyolaMD.

With the end of the school year drawing near, the inauguration of the new food plan and provider also looms. Although much of the basic information for the new dining program is available online, many questions are still being posed by students. Elizabeth Walton, director of student affairs for the Student Government Association, explained that, although the information is readily available, students sometimes are not willing to seek it out. Walton said that she and the other students involved in the transition to Parkhurst are more than willing to share any information they can about the new system, so long as students ask. Along with other members of SGA and some members of campus services, Walton travelled to Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, to try the food there, which is also provided by Parkhurst. Although not a vegetarian, Walton said that she ended up eating completely vegetarian while there. She elaborated on the variety of choices provided at Bucknell, which included stir-fry, sweet potato wedges and freshly made desserts. Dining options on campus also included a food truck. Across the spectrum of the foods offered, Walton said that everything she ate “rivaled what I would eat at a restaurant.” The price, not the food, is what is leaving many students—and their parents—with a sour stomach. But, Jennifer Wood, director of campus services, assured that, when averaged out, students will be spending between $4 and $12 per day, if they choose to opt out of the meal plans and opt into the declining dollars. Walton’s said that, while she was initially uneasy about the mandatory system to be implemented, her opinion changed. “I hadn’t realized that, before [the administration] made the [meal plans], they looked at what each student was spending and took the average of that. I was really impressed by the research behind it.” The new program has a mandatory buy-in because “there needs to be a certain level of participation from all students to make a sustainable dining plan,” said Wood. Though any money leftover on the declining dollars plans will not carry over from year to year, Wood doesn’t think many students will have money left on their cards. Additionally, applying financial aid can offset the price of the new dining program, whether a student chooses the declining dollars or one of the plans. Walton explained that, since the new program will be included differently in the student bills, it would be possible to apply some of the financial aid students receive to the cost of their chosen variation of the meal program. Despite the many changes coming, Walton is optimistic about the student reaction. “Although the change can be scary, overall… it’s going to be a very positive change for the university,” said Walton. “If the value and quality of the food [increases], students are going to want to eat more on campus. It’s just hard to say that when it’s not here yet.”

New graduate program offers a headstart to aspiring communication professionals By Lisa Potter Staff Writer This upcoming fall semester, Loyola will be the first university to offer a master of arts degree in emerging media. The program will focus on new and emerging media and technology in order to prepare students to utilize those communication tools in the workplace—even if those tools do not yet exist. It is a 27-credit course that will be conducted primarily online, and only two of the courses are offered on Loyola’s Evergreen Campus during the summer. Dr. Elliot King, the communication department’s chairperson, and Dr. Neil Alperstein, an associate professor of communication, are the founders of the new masters program. After a two-year process of seeking approval and accreditation, emerging media is the first program at Loyola to be delivered online. It will integrate online platforms, such as Lecture Capture, a Twitter feed, a blog, a Pinterest board, VoiceThread, Facebook, discussion boards, online textbooks and lectures, videos, and Moodle, which will be the program’s main platform. “How they are integrated is up to the individual professor,” said Alperstein. “We will have an online orientation,” said King. “Once you learn how to use them, they’ll remain the same, and the students will have all the support that regular students have such as tech support, the Career Center, the library.” The two professors said they became interested in developing such a program in 2008, when Loyola’s communication students were still acquiring jobs in social media due to their age and understanding of Twitter and Facebook, despite the economic downturn. They noted that the students themselves did not understand how to use such media to communicate for a company or how to apply communication strategies to new media, nor did they have the tools to do so effectively. “Part one is to develop the skills to assess what’s new…there are always new things
coming out,” said King. “Part two is to provide the tools to understand [this] long term. Three is that new communications have cultural and social impact…We will look at broader social, economic and political implications of new communication platforms.” The professors believe that not only does the emerging media graduate program align with Loyola’s Jesuit values, but also gives students an advantage.

program is designed to engage deeply in the material while still examining the ethical, social and political issues that affect new communications media, and with Loyola’s character as a Jesuit university—in addition to the new, online venue—Loyola will be able to compete in a new area of education. “We do want to learn how to write a good tweet, but we need a wider view. That is the heart and soul of a Jesuit education,” said King. Additionally, Loyola’s emerging media program is the first of its kind. There is no other program, according to King, that is specifically focusing on new and emerging media for a master’s degree. He and Alperstein agreed that they wanted Loyola to compete with other prestigious universities, “the big boys,” in their unique approach at providing students with a skill set that is not yet permanently defined, and which continues to evolve along with the development of new technology. King and Alperstein defined emerging media as new communication platforms, or channels that offer new ways for people to communicate with others. Businesses today are beginning to integrate new forms of media

skill set, it makes you extremely valuable,” said King. “Number two, it is in extreme demand…emerging media needs to be part of [the business] strategy. And three, it is really interesting. When you put that together, you take what you’ve learned as an undergrad, those specific skills will be valuable for a long period of time.” The professors explained that there is a learning curve with new technology, and that younger generations better understand how to use newer platforms as a result of their age and exposure to such technology that older generations simply do not have. “From a career standpoint, our generation is the first that kind of grew up with that technology…and people are looking to fill those roles [in business],” said senior Samantha Garvey, who is considering the emerging media graduate program. “I think it’s nice that it’s online. I can sign up even if I have a job, or I can be at home, and then I have the week or two weeks in the summer to be at Loyola.” “I decided I wanted to go right into the work field [after college]. With communications it’s tough to get your masters because it needs to be in something specific. I wanted to get
into the workplace and dabble a little, and then maybe go,” said Garvey. Garvey said she became interested in the program after taking Alperstein’s course, Social Media and Commercial Communication (CM358). She is a communication major and specializing in advertising and public relations. She said she hopes to find a job in event production in Baltimore. “I would like to be a part of the trial run,” said Garvey. “I think it ties into the Jesuit Values…it is multifaceted and multidimensional, and there is so much built up behind [the program].” “It is a living, breathing graduate program that will be looking at the changes in communication and media,” said Garvey. In addition to the newness of the program, the application for the emerging media masters also embraces new integration of technology and media. Along with the online application, students may submit a traditional essay, a two-minute video and audio slide show or any other type of medium of their choosing. “You have creative license—they want you to be creative. Like I said, it is a living, breathing program,” said Garvey. The program will cost $950 per credit, adding up to about $26,000, which is cheaper compared to other schools’ graduate programs and Loyola’s undergraduate program. King and Alperstein said they were committed to giving some scholarships and grants to the program’s students. Additionally, they said applications are looked at on a rolling basis. If students apply before April 1, their application fee will be waived. King said that Loyola will hold another information session for prospective emerging media students; however, the date has yet to be determined. The program is open to college graduates of all different degrees and concentrations.

Loyola takes additional precautions as mumps outbreak continues to spread
By Courtney Cousins Managing Editor
The Maryland State Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) have become involved in the ongoing mumps outbreak at Loyola, according to e-mails from the Office of Student Development and an e-mail received by the Greyhound regarding the Loyola Clinical Centers (LCC). On Friday, graduate students and faculty at the LCC were informed that the CDC and the Student Health Center had requested that they follow several precautions in order to limit the mumps outbreak, which “is continuing to grow rapidly.” The precautions included wearing masks while working in close proximity with clients, cancelling some services temporarily, notifying clients about the outbreak, making sure they LCC clinicians have received their MMR vaccinations and seeking medical treatment immediately if they begin experiencing symptoms.

the painful swelling of the salivary glands, which gives it its name. Two MMR vaccinations are required in order to attend Loyola, as resident college students are particularly susceptible to mumps; but the vaccinations are only about 90 percent effective. There is no specific treatment for mumps, according to the CDC, and most transmissions of the virus occur prior to the gland swelling and within five days after. Isolation is recommended in order to stop the spread of the virus. “Mumps is spread by droplets of saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose or throat of an infected person, usually when the person coughs, sneezes or talks,” the CDC says on their website. Coming into contact with infected surfaces and sharing drinks can also spread the virus. The Student Health Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. After hours or on weekends, students can contact the on-call physician at Sinai Hospital at 410-583-9396.

A huge step taken for humankind in the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act You don’t have to be a woman or even remotely feminist to appreciate the actions taken by President Obama lately. With the renewal of the Violence Against
KATIEREINHARD Women Act (VAWA) last week in the Senate, not only are women further protected through expanded federal programs and law enforcement, but lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and Native American victims are as well. Native American women who have been assaulted on reservations by nonIndian perpetrators can now “take their case to tribal courts, which otherwise would not have jurisdiction over assailants who do not live on tribal land,” according to The New York Times. The renewal of this bill comes at a pivotal time for Americans: A black president was just re-elected to a second term in office, the pope of the Catholic church just resigned and his successor was very hastily announced and this fiscal cliff business, well, we’ll leave that to the professionals. But our world is constantly changing and so are our people. The previous laws in place were not doing enough to make everyone feel that this America would protect them at any cost, no matter what their sexual orientation. “Renewing this bill is an important step towards making sure no one in America is forced to live in fear,” said Obama of a principle that should always be first and
foremost in the minds of our leaders for the citizens of this country. The updated VAWA “authorizes some $659 million a year over five years for programs that strengthen the criminal justice system’s response to crimes against women and some men, such as transitional housing, legal assistance, law enforcement training and hot lines.” Further aspects include “focusing on ways to reduce sexual assault on college campuses and reauthorizing the Trafficking Victims Protection Act,” all according to The Boston Globe. According to The North Dallas Gazette, “every minute in America, 24 people become victims of stalking, rape or violence by an intimate partner, resulting in about 12 million people becoming victims every year.” The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention reported, “23.6 percent of women report being victims of intimate partner violence.” These staggering numbers alone show that the original VAWA voted into place in 1994 was not doing enough to dole out justice to attackers and to protect victims. Rep. Gwen Moore said that “this legislation will help all women—including Native, LGBT and immigrant women—come out of the shadows of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and human trafficking.” The bill did not pass through congress uncontested, however. According to The Boston Globe, Republicans very actively opposed the protection of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender victims because continued on page 10

First of all, I would like to congratulate Jorge Mario Bergoglio on his election as his Holiness Pope Francis I and the Jesuit Order for having one of its members elected pope for the first time. Second, I would like to use the rest of this article to tackle the question
JAKUBGORSKI of what impact Francis I will have on the Catholic Church. Watching his first blessing on YouTube assured me that the Catholic Church is in good hands. While giving his blessing, the pope asked the faithful on Saint Peter’s Square to pray for him first. This is the mark of true meekness, because he asked for the people’s help on the journey he is undertaking. For me, Francis I’s gesture symbolized willingness to fulfill his duty as pope and to be connected with the people. I think humility will be beneficial for the new pope, because it will help him to follow in the path of Christ, who was meek, but at the same time decisive and strong in spirit. A mark of that humility can be seen in an article from EWTN Global Catholic Network that talks about how “Pope Francis individually received the congratulations of his fellow cardinals standing, instead of sitting in the papal throne.” This shows that Francis I sees his fellow cardinals as equals and believes they deserve respect. Through these simple acts of modesty, Francis I shows that he is willing to be illuminated by the light of Christ and help the Church with its problems. His meekness will make him more willing to listen to the faithful, because he

Newly elected Pope Francis I stands on the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica on March 13 in Vatican City, Vatican. will know that they could have good points as well. Francis I will be better able to foster interfaith dialogue, because humility will leave him open minded to the points of view of other faiths. Most importantly, Francis I will remember that although he is pope, he is still a man. This will allow him to better deliberate on his decisions, thereby making him a better and more thoughtful leader. His previous service in the Catholic Church is a testament to his humbleness and leadership skills. As archbishop of Buenos Aires, his motto was “Miserable yet chosen.” Such mottos are a mark of a true leader, because they show that he does not want to have his office just for the sake of the office. This prevents leaders from becoming corrupt and greedy, because corrupt leaders want the office so they can have the advantages that come with it. As for the service in the Church, EWTN
said that Francis I held positions in the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, which deals with Catholic practices and sacraments; Curia for the Clergy, which deals with the matters of the priests and deacons that do not belong to religious orders and several other important Vatican positions. The pope’s experience in serving the Church is of great importance, and is always helpful when it comes time to lead. Of course being in a curia and being the pope are two different things, but his service as cardinal will help him on his new path. I have confidence in Pope Francis I. Right now the future of the Catholic Church looks rocky and harsh, but with the help of Christ, Francis will surely be the perfect guide. That is why I want to close this article by asking the members of Loyola community to join me in wishing luck to Pope Francis I. May we all keep him in our prayers.
Admitting you’re wrong when you want to be right
You’re sitting with a friend. You two are engaged in a debate on some matter of politics, economics, social policy or whatever hot-button issue suits your fancy. It’s a pretty even playing field; you mount an argument,
MICHAELEBMEIER he counters with a solid rebuttal, you respond in turn and so on and so forth. But then it happens; he traps you. You know the feeling when you’re wrong and you know it: You get nervous, your palms sweat and you keep up a calm façade while you desperately backpedal in your mind, looking for an out—looking for some way to save face. There’s no way that his argument can be right. Sure, his logic blows your contention out of the water, but perhaps there’s some angle he’s not looking at. He must be interpreting the evidence incorrectly. Maybe he’s lying. Who is he anyway? He’s not a scholar—how can you trust him? Maybe you can’t. But then again, maybe you’re just wrong. From an early age, every one of us develops a penchant for wanting to appear right. We bicker with siblings, friends, parents and teachers. We want to prove that we’re right and we learn how to argue to do it. But these skills of argumentation we acquire so quickly are not the same as skills that unearth the truth. More often than not, we care more about appearing right than actually being right.
In the example I gave above, what you’re doing is called rationalization—not to be confused with a similar word, rationality. Let’s break down that scenario: Your friend confronted you with evidence that your belief was wrong and, instead of critically examining this new evidence, you’re just shut down. You went into defense mode and here’s why: You had no intention of being right, but really wanted to look right. There was never any exchange of ideas taking place, no discussion being fostered and no learning being facilitated. Rather, you and your friend saw your arguments as soldiers. You had a conclusion you knew you supported, and you deployed your contentional troops into battle to defend your opinion, your “homeland.” In war, no participant enters a battle willing to betray the homeland if the other side’s soldiers are particularly impressive. You panicked when you realized you were wrong not because you were trying to be right, but because you were trying to win a war. But I suspect, deep down, you don’t do this intentionally. I think that you—like me—have a sincere desire and will to seek the truth. If this is the case, learning how to actually be right is as simple as learning how to be wrong. You must not view argument as a war: Protecting the homeland is not your goal. You have to resist the faulty human desire to assume and rationalize, and impose rationality on yourself. You need to be willing to change your beliefs at the drop of a hat. I know that it’s hard; it’s never pleasant
THE GREYHOUND
admitting that you’re wrong, especially to someone you’ve been arguing with passionately for an extended period of time. But in the end, it’s more important to have a handle on the truth than to appear to. Your mind is a powerful thing, and you do it a disservice by falling back on cognitive dissonance like a crutch when you’re wrong. Admitting you’re wrong is the singlemost valuable tool you can have in tightening your grasp on reality. This is not to say you should abandon your old beliefs for no reason. Rationally unsatisfactory grounds (uncorroborated evidence, fallacious reasoning, etc.) should never be cause for ditching your views. When abandoning your intellectual bravado, the goal is not cowardice, but a sense of humility. I’ll close with an anecdote. A cartographer drafted a map of a particular county, plotting out the roads quite carefully and meticulously. He took great pride in his work; it was his baby. He published the map and congratulated himself on a job well done. Not a week later he received angry letters from incensed drivers complaining that they got lost because of his faulty map. He scoffed at the letters; they weren’t cartographers like him, so what did they know? But the territory cannot be wrong, only the maps that model it can. Reality cannot be wrong, only your beliefs can. Your job is to learn where the discrepancies between your mental map and the territory of the real world are and correct them.
Opinions Loyola mumps outbreak causes unnecessary chaos MARCH 19, 2013
I’m feeling my glands as I write this. I’m sure all of you know about the recent mumps outbreak at Loyola—with all the e-mails, it’s impossible to not know—that came to the school’s attention right before spring break. Initially there were three confirmed or suspected cases, according to
SAMANTHAVANDORAN the Health Center, but now that number has at least quadrupled. My former and future roommate, who is one of my very best friends, was the first to come down with the mumps, seemingly out of nowhere. She was feeling sluggish and couldn’t figure out why her glands were swelling until she went to the Health Center a few days before break. On Thursday morning, she received the shocking news that she had the mumps, something she—and most of us—had gotten a vaccine for as a child. She caught a flight home immediately. “What Victorian-era orphans have you been hanging out with?” we all asked, making fun of her, because nobody in our day and age gets the mumps. The vaccine has been around for decades, and so the diagnosis seemed absurd. But we felt bad that she was in pain. When I asked her how it felt, she said she woke up in the mornings with an earache and “dreaded looking into the mirror” to see how big her face was getting. “It was painful, but manageable,” she told me. “I was very tired all of the time.” News of her case traveled quickly, and soon the State Departments of Maryland and Massachusetts (where she lives), the Visiting Nurses Association and even the Center for Disease Control (CDC) were calling her at home in Walpole. They were all surprised
that this virus had somehow returned and wanted to find out where it came from. Their concern is a testament to the fact that this outbreak on campus is serious and definitely mysterious. As the e-mail we received a few weeks ago told us, most people with uncomplicated cases of the mumps “recover within two weeks” and don’t experience any consequences past that. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s unpleasant to catch and suffer through, and that there can be complications. Like mono, there is no way to treat mumps with antibiotics; you just have to wait it out. That explains why my friend’s doctor, whose kids were not vaccinated, kicked her out of his
“
stay away from her. In reality, she is no longer contagious and is definitely immune; if students are going to get the mumps from anyone, it won’t be from her. The school has been taking the right steps to prevent the mumps from spreading: CCSJ temporarily canceled many of its service programs involving children, for example, and the administration sent out e-mails about the outbreak. As sad as my SBO group was last week, it was better that our plans to work with HIV patients were cancelled as well, on the off chance that one of us was sick. My friend asked me to express her gratitude to the Health Center: They were very helpful to her, and she believes “they will handle this correctly, as they sent me home right away and made sure to call and check in often.” This past week, we all received a mumps survey from the State Department of Health. When I fill mine out and am asked who I know with mumps, I’ll have to include my friend’s name. Obviously, we need to be aware of what goes on at our school, especially if it involves a health issue. Additionally, we should all be cautious if we don’t want to catch the mumps. But there doesn’t need to be this hysteria—it’s not her or any sick person’s fault if we get sick, and we can’t blame them for it. They’re not spreading it on purpose. We as a school just need to be responsible: We must wash our hands, refuse to share drinks and go to the Health Center if we feel sick. I can’t think of a better way to halt the spread of a virus, even one as foreign to our demographic as the mumps.
Fear of catching this virus, however, has developed into near ostracism of those who have the mumps.
office so they wouldn’t catch it. The State Department instructed my friend to stay in her house from Thursday night until at least Tuesday, March 5—she obeyed, because she was so exhausted. Fear of catching the virus, however, has developed into near ostracism of those who have the mumps. She was originally afraid to come back to school because of her swollen face, but her cheeks are normal-sized again and people are still treating her “like a leper.” Her roommate, who’s around her all of the time, says she still hasn’t gotten sick and isn’t really worried. But according to my friend, the now-healthy junior, many people have been “freaked out” and are trying to

Editorial: Sanctions on North Korea must be uniform By The Oracle Editorial Board
The Oracle, U. South Florida via UWIRE
The Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK) confirmed Tuesday that it conducted its third nuclear test in an underground testing facility after South Korean monitors detected seismic activity coming from the north. The test came just two months after North Korea angered international powers over a successful ballistic missile launch that landed a weather satellite into orbit and sparked even more United Nations sanctions on the selfproclaimed “self-reliant” state. The U.N. Security Council denounced the test and is planning future sanctions, but their actions will continue to be in vain unless all of the Security Council’s member states can uniformly sanction North Korea, isolating it from international aid until it ceases nuclear programs. The problem is that, though most of the
world’s powers are allied in efforts to ostracize the DPRK and its antics, China has continued an economic relationship with Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, despite the fact that it has voted in favor of implementing the last three sanctions. Any international trade with North Korea strengthens Kim Jongun’s regime and his desperation for making a name for himself — not the impoverished North Korean population that has an abysmal GDP of $40 billion as of 2011, according to the CIA World Factbook. North Korea has made it abundantly clear that sanctions, embargoes or any other international actions will not deter its plans of developing weapons of mass destruction. Even after the missile launch in December, the DPRK boasted their actions were posed to create a nuclear warhead capable of traveling as far as the U.S.
When a government as oppressive and illadvised as North Korea continually ignores international stability the way it has since the end of the Korean War, there needs to be serious and relentless pressure placed on it until it complies. Ignoring the severity of the DPRK’s persistence toward nuclear weapons by only suggesting U.N. sanctions that it continues to ignore is shameful. Though nobody wants the events of the Korean War to be repeated, the ineffectiveness of U.N. sanctions needs to be considered when thinking about future plans regarding North Korea. If China is unwilling to participate in implementing the sanctions, perhaps it is worthy of consideration to implement sanctions upon bystander, but enabling, nations.
To Relay and St. Paddy’s Day coinciding. While they are both fantastic as separate entities, the intersection of the two celebrations essentially results in the departure of members of the Loyola community, who end up spending their money on overpriced drinks at Craig’s instead of tickets for Relay.

Renewal of the VAWA continued College Intuition continued from page 7 they saw the move as “a provocation and objected to the Native American provisions on constitutional grounds.” Molly Ball, a writer for The Atlantic, looked into why anyone would appose the VAWA, and “the objections can be grouped in two broadly ideological areas—that the law is an unnecessary overreach by the federal government, and that it represents a ‘feminist’ attack on family values.” Some Republicans believe that VAWA’s funding is being misplaced and that proper identification of what causes violence is being overlooked. The principles of the new VAWA factually oppose some of the foundations that Republicans build themselves on, which explains their opposition; but they are in no way saying that they support abuse of any sort. I really do not see how anyone could oppose the passing of this bill. To do so would be to fundamentally deny the humanness of someone based on sexual orientation. Although a great deal of backlash from the majority of the Republican
Party ensued, many Republicans in the Senate did vote in favor of it. Diane Millich, a Native American woman, said her “ex-husband would mock her defenselessness by calling tribal police and sheriffs, who refused to act until he showed up with a gun: ‘All the times I called the police and nothing was done only made my ex-husband believe he was above the law and untouchable,’’’ she said. Instances like these are evidence enough to support a renewal of the act. Women, men, transgender, lesbian, straight, gay, bisexual and Native American—we are anyone and we are everyone. To deny someone protection and safety because of who they are sexually attracted to or their ethnicity is more than outdated—it is detrimental to our American culture and the fostering of a better tomorrow. We as members of this college campus need to embrace these changes so that those who come after us never have to live in fear, no matter who they are.

Black Student Association Fashion Show impresses for the 15th year By Emily Shaw Staff Writer Students, family and friends gathered in Reitz Arena last Friday night to attend the 15th annual Black Student Association (BSA) Fashion Show. Guests entered a completely transformed arena under multicolored spotlights and took their seats before a white runway area with a contrasting black velvet backdrop. The show began with a wonderful live vocal performance of Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” as models took the stage with a slow walk, the lights growing brighter and the models’ walking faster as the soundtrack switched to a quick-tempo song. The MCs of the night, local radio DJs— including the bubbly DJ Angel Baby—came onstage to welcome the audience. They explained that the name of this year’s show, Hue, was inspired by a quote by Coco Chanel: “The best color in the whole world is the one that looks best on you.” This served as a reminder for participants to be unique and true to themselves. The show was divided into four themed scenes. The first scene, led by Estenfanie Zurita and Michelle Stephey, was entitled Allure. Camille Buscar opened the show, rocking blue shorts and a pretty top. She says, “I was a volunteer for the show freshman year. As a sophomore I decided to try out, and I’m so happy I did because I was able to make my debut as a petite model.” This scene’s fashions consisted primarily of gauzy, pastel, dresses and flashy metallics, the models stomping up and down the runway with their sultry, cross-legged walks. No Worries Salon & Cosmetics did their hair in one of two styles: a bouffant-y mega-braid or a split topknot, which complimented their bright teal eye makeup. The outfit changes ushered in slightly darker hues like red and black, as well as patterned pieces, such as a Missonilike printed maxi dress. All the clothes for
this scene were provided by Francesca’s, Best Friend’s Boutique and Herring Rose. Throughout the night, the soundtrack was a key part of keeping the audience entertained and engaged. During this scene, the songs switched between Rihanna’s “Nobody’s Business” to Jim Jones’ “Go Cinderella” to A$AP Rocky’s “F***ing Problem.” Leaders Danny Mayi, Hailey Jung and Abigail Lordson-Banini directed the second scene, called Walking Tall. The concept for the title was that each person should have the strength and confidence to walk tall, regardless of their height, weight, gender or sexuality. This scene’s clothes were provided by the GAP, where they are offering a discount this weekend to any student who mentions seeing their designs at the BSA Fashion Show. The looks were comprised of preppy printed pants, cool denim and pops of one of spring’s top colors, a pale shade of neon yellow. From a black and white striped dress to neutral olive capris to a V-neck sweater thrown over a patterned oxford, these were looks that one could easily picture on almost any Loyola student. The guys similarly represented typical Loyola style in pastel checkered button-downs and khakis. The models seemed to have a little more attitude in this scene, dancing and vogue-ing with each other as they posed at the end of the catwalk. Although the energy from the crowd was already tangible, the audience went crazy when Justin Timberlake’s “Suit and Tie” began to blast through the speakers. Next, there was a short intermission during which the BSA executive board for the 2013-2014 academic year was announced, including next year’s president, Shinelle Baker. The show reopened with the third scene, the theme of which was Cinderella, based upon the idea that while it may seem that everyone gets whatever they want, many people have to work hard to achieve their dreams. To the tune of Adele’s “Skyfall,”
Kemi Ajenifuja opened this scene, the clothes for which were from Ann Taylor and Herring Rose. As her fellow models walked out, the looks were comprised of black, white, with pops of bright color like yellow, pink and red. The clothes were well coordinated and would make for great casual office or evening looks for spring. The scene leaders, twins Jordan and Joelle Hernandez, also walked in the show, donning poufy skirts tied with oversized sashes. There was much more dancing in this scene, this time to songs like Chris Brown’s “Turn up the Music,” Brandy’s “Put it Down” and Rihanna’s “Shine Bright Like a Diamond.” Amidst the dancing and stomping, Kemi lost her shoe at one point, but she carried on like a true professional, hips swaying and head held high as she transferred from heeled to bare foot. Reflecting after the show she said, “My shoe flew off during one of my walks, but the love and support the crowd gave me was much appreciated. The unexpected can really happen at any moment, [you] just got to walk it off and work.” The final scene of the night was entitled Live, and the MCs proclaimed the name said it all. Regrettably, the audience was reminded that it truly was a live show, as one of the only technical blips of the night occurred during this scene. About halfway through, the soundtrack doubled back and started playing the same songs; instead of stopping to fix the music, the models and directors of the scene—Amaka Okoronkwo and Tamarah Lawrence—decided it would be better to simply continue, repeating the choreography to these same songs with the hope that the soundtrack played correctly the second time. Although it was a tiny bit unfortunate that the audience had to rewatch the same choreography for six or so songs, far worse things could have happened and sometimes technology simply doesn’t cooperate. The models were total experts during this glitch and carried on as if nothing were out of the ordinary. As they say, the show must go on,
and that they did, in looks from Delia’s, Party Dress and Men’s Warehouse. These looks were fun and summer-y, with printed leggings, plenty of denim, high-waisted shorts and sexy party dresses. The guys looked equally cool in this scene, one wearing a button-down shirt fastened all the way to the collar with stone-washed jeans rolled up to reveal brown leather loafers. The show closed with a finale of looks by Vincent Licari and Keggy Pritsker, which consisted of mod wool pea coats in bright colors with contrasting piping and oversized buttons. The ’60s inspired silhouettes and add-ons were slightly reminiscent of jackets featured in Louis Vuitton’s A/W 2012 collection. One suggestion I would make to improve next year’s show is to better conceal the clothing’s sales tags. They were especially noticeable and distracting hanging off scarves and through a sheer, hot pink shirt. A little tucking in or double-sided tape could easily solve this problem and would make a world of difference. All in all, though, the night was one full of fashion, fun and camaraderie. At the show’s close, directors Alayna Shamy and Yasmin Rigney thanked the models, everyone behind the scenes, members of the BSA and each other. They admitted that as far as leading the production of the show, each had what the other lacked and they functioned best as a pair. Together, they worked hard for almost a year to bring together a show that they hoped had been the best one yet in the 15-year tradition. Kemi says it all: “As a third year model, I can genuinely say that this year’s show was the best I’ve ever been in. In addition to the most talented models, scene leaders and directors of the show, the love from the audience was so present. Thanks to everyone who came out!” I think the audience was equally appreciative and impressed—and undoubtedly already looking forward to next year.
been writing his own music for the piano, and then began to slowly teach himself to play the guitar and harmonica, and to sing: “When you want to learn something, your brain just kind of opens up and lets you learn.” It was around that time that Whitaker began writing music for more than just the piano. Peter’s musical presence on campus has gotten stronger this semester, first with a solo headlining performance for Loyola radio WLOY’s Be Our Valentine event on this past Valentine’s Day. Sharing his own music and some covers for a large crowd of Greyhounds gave Peter the little extra boost of confidence he needed to release his video just a week later. The idea for the “Remember You” video was born about a year ago. “I wrote the song two years ago and knew that I wanted to do something with it. So then I spent about a year planning it out, pre-production, casting, where scene would be shot and doing things like getting permission to film in a train station.” The biggest challenge Whitaker said was the last six months, which all consisted of post-production steps. “Getting the song record, two years after it was written and getting the film edited, was mentally one of the hardest and most exhausting things I’ve
ever had to do.” In the end, though, the six and a half minute video came out “flawless. Peter’s worked so hard on this, put everything he has in it and I don’t think any of us could be more proud of him,” said a close friend of Whitaker. When asking him if he was ever nervous, he bluntly responded, no. “You’ve got to continue to believe in what you’re doing everyday, because it gets hard and the days get long. Because as I was finishing up the project, especially creating art at the level it was, it took me having to truly detach myself. I neglected relationships—friends, family and the people that I loved—because to create truly great art you have to detach yourself so that you are able to envision the entire creation. It really was depressing at some points, because there were points when I hadn’t gotten the finished project that I wanted yet, and it was driving me crazy. But nobody around me could really help me, no one could really understand where my mind was, and so I felt isolated and alone through the final stages of this project.” This is not the first video or single for Whitaker—“Remember You” and “A Fool’s Heart” are available on iTunes, as well as YouTube. The past few months have
definitely been a whirlwind for him. In fact, his musical inspiration, acoustic alternative rocker Trevor Hall, acknowledged him and shared Whitaker’s music this past summer. As Whitaker takes his voice and talents with him to Newcastle this coming year, he assures his fans not to worry: “This is just the beginning. Just wait is all I can really say.”
Peter Whitaker: Oh, you’ll remember Loyola’s newest talent By Carly Heideger Staff Writer
When you walk through the Evergreen campus, it’s not hard to see the many different talents the Loyola student body has to offer. There are dancers, athletes, writers, actors, fashionistas and now iTunesbuyable performers. Just before spring break, sophomore Peter Whitaker released his new music video “Remember You,” and the reaction was unimaginable. Within minutes, through the power of social media and some really dedicated friends, Whitaker’s friends were posting and sharing the video all over the Internet. “Responses to the video were great. I am receiving an unbelievable amount of support. It’s really crazy to think that all these people are listening and sharing something I created. And they like it,” said Whitaker. Music is something that always seemed to come easy to Whitaker, who is studying communication with a specialization in digital media. A Maryland native who grew up in Annapolis, Whitaker began taking piano lessons when about 4-years-old. “My love for music came from my mother. She was a musician,” he said. Since age five, Peter has

Top 10 free things to do when you’re in Baltimore By Kelsey Carper Staff Writer
Every college student knows the pain of having nothing to do as the result of an empty wallet. This struggle seems even worse at the end of the spring semester when bank accounts are at their lowest. Money earned over the summer is long gone and entertainment in Baltimore can be expensive. I’m certainly not immune to this financial challenge, and over the past four years I’ve had to search the city for things to do on a low budget. Luckily, Baltimore is filled with eclectic and interesting things to do without money, and the Collegetown Shuttle and Charm City Circulator can take you to many areas of the city for free. The following are just a few suggestions for ways to spend your time, and all of them are free: Spend your first Friday in Hampden: On the first Friday of every month, Hampden shops and restaurants host a ton a great discounts and giveaways on drinks and snacks, as well as other fun deals.

Cooking with Iggy: If you’re feeling lucky, try your hand at Shepherd’s Pie By Justine Borzumato Staff Writer One of the most popular dishes in the United Kingdom is Shepherd’s Pie. If you have never heard of it, it is ground meat topped with mashed potatoes and cheese. Traditionally it is made with ground lamb, but I make mine with beef because ground beef is a lot easier to find in grocery stores. I have included a recipe for mashed potatoes, but if you have any leftover potatoes this is a great place to use them. Because it contains meat, vegetables and potatoes all in one dish, it is a complete meal in itself. You can really add any leftover vegetables you want into the mixture, like peppers, corn or peas. This recipe would be great to serve on St. Patrick’s Day because it is so often found in Irish Pubs. Serves: 4-6 people Time: 75 minutes
Ingredients:
Mashed Potatoes: 4 russet potatoes 2 tablespoons butter 1 cup milk Salt and pepper to taste 1 ½ cups white cheddar cheese
Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Peel each potato and cut into 1-inch cubes. Fill a large pot with water and put the potatoes in the water. It is important to start the potatoes in cold water and not boiling water so that the potatoes cook evenly. Once the potatoes are in the water, sprinkle them with a tablespoon of salt and cook it on high heat for 20-25 minutes or until tender. You can test if it is tender or not by sticking a fork into the potato and seeing if it easily comes out without any resistance. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. While it is heating chop the onions, carrots and celery into a fine ¼-inch dice. Once the oil is hot, put in the onions and carrots and cook for five minutes over medium heat. While this is cooking, finely chop the two garlic cloves. After five minutes, put in the garlic cloves and celery. Cook everything together for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables become tender
Ingredients Meat Mixture:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 large onion 2 garlic cloves 2 carrots 2 celery stalks 1 pound ground beef ½ cup beef broth

WLOY Spring Late Night provides satisfying food and entertainment By Laura Biesiadecki Staff Writer
WLOY’s Late Night Coffeehouse session this past Thursday, March 14, featured singersongwriter Mark Hopkins. I’ll be honest, I had every intention of climbing into a leather armchair and taking a snooze while some hippie strummed some alternative-folk-rock on his acoustic guitar and serenaded me with angsty lyrics about something he repressed as a child. But what I had anticipated to be an evening filled with disaster and naptime surprised me, and I actually—drumroll— enjoyed myself. I know, it’s crazy, right? Presenting his audience with a balanced mix of well-known covers and original tunes, Hopkins charmed the room with a Jason-Mraz-meets-Van-Morrison-and-HueyLewis lineup. The acoustic guitar was easy on the ears, and the smattering of piano accompaniment relieved Hopkins of the clichéd “indie musician” persona. After researching Mark and finding him on a musical hub for unsigned artists, I can say with assurance that I like the music, and that I wasn’t fooled by the quiet atmosphere of the third floor Reading Room, the sensation of a fully-loaded Gino’s burger settling into my stomach or the sight of a guy with a guitar. After seeing the man, the myth, the legend—
Mark Hopkins, of course—perform, and after checking out some of the recorded versions of his original songs, I would undoubtedly recommend “The Pin” and “Twenty-Five” as some of his archetypal sound. This is the guy you want to listen to when studying starts to get boring; when you wake up in the morning and forgot to turn the thermostat up, or forgot
to close the window, so your room is like the arctic and you need a song to get you out of the room, out of the cold funk you woke up in and read for the day; when you’re feeling average; when you don’t really know what’s going on, and you really couldn’t care less. This is light-hearted soul music and I kind of dig it.
Caroline Brink/The Greyhound
Mark Hopkins wows the WLOY crowd with his acoustic performance of “The Pin.”
Overall, the performance itself was refreshing and different. As I’ve tried to express, this isn’t your typical tired, underground, undiscovered, angst-driven nonsense. Musically, Hopkins is very talented and, while the covers are great, the original music definitely doesn’t disappoint. His online biography reveals that Mark is a “funky” Maryland native and spends his time performing acoustically or with his Trio; you can check out his smooth style and some of his original songs at www.reverbnation.com/ markhopkins. What made the evening really spectacular was the abundance of Relayers in attendance. This particular Coffeehouse session served to entertain and fundraise for the March 16 Relay for Life. For $10 a pop, WLOY employees sold purple shirts to students eager to support an incredible cause and to proudly sport the latest smokin’ hot addition to their wardrobe. All in all, WLOY put on a great show. It was, admittedly, my first Late Night Coffeehouse performance, but it won’t be my last. I absolutely plan on attending the Battle of the Bands at 8:30 p.m. in McGuire on Thursday, March 21, and look forward to the next Coffeehouse—just keep those Gino’s burgers coming, Kate Marshall.
Musical talents provide Relay for Life with uplifting entertainment By Anthony Landi Staff Writer
This year’s Relay For Life showed an outpouring of musical talent, entertaining the event-goers with hours of diverse, engaging songs. The first band of the evening was Amarant, a six-piece charismatic cover band. The band tackled songs like “Islands in the Sun” by Weezer, “Come Together” by the Beatles and “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson, with technical proficiency and faithful attention to detail. Perhaps the highlight of the set was the band’s cover of the Darkness’ one-hit-wonder “I Believe In A Thing Called Love.” Amarant leapt into the glam-rock single with ferocity, boasting impressive vocal runs and guitar solos similar to those found in the original. Up next, the Belles performed during the Luminaria ceremony—a somber remembrance of those who have battled or are battling cancer. The all female a cappella group sang two songs: “I Hope You Dance” and “Dare You To Move.” Sung to the silently proceeding march, the selections added a tangible sadness and beauty to the event. Following the Luminaria ceremony, the Chimes—Loyola’s all-male answer to the Belles—took the stage in McGuire Hall. Within moments of their arrival, the room became flushed with onlookers anxious to hear the group’s performance. The Chimes started out with a St. Patrick’s Day tribute, singing the traditional folk song “Loch Lamond” with gorgeous, swelling harmonies. Other selections included “Only the Good Die Young,” “Fine By Me,” “Secrets” and the soulful crowd-favorite, “A Change is Gonna Come,” by Sam Cooke. Their set was cohesive, warm and created a strong feeling of campus-togetherness, especially in the celebratory setting of Relay for Life. The fourth musical performance was by A
Cool Stick, a band that combines elements of hip-hop, reggae and rock music, much like Sublime. They performed as a five-piece, including a singer/MC, two guitarists, bassist and a drummer. The lead vocalist, Luke O’Brien, changed between singing—with a rather pure voice—and rapping. He also engaged the crowd by constantly jumping off stage and inviting them to stand up, which I found to be the band’s greatest strength. The weakness of many bands of this genre is a general musical malaise—allowing the MC to do all the work while the band lays down basic reggae groove after basic reggae groove. That wasn’t the case here—the band was incredibly kinetic, playing on their toes and boasting solid chops. The highlight of the set was the band’s cover/remix of the Black Key’s breakthrough single “Tighten Up,” laying down the unforgettable whistle melody and pounding beat while O’Brien rapped his band’s positive, life-affirming mission statement to the rapt audience. After, The Palace at 4 a.m. performed their eclectic set. Phil Bolton, Pat Diamond, Casey Miller, Dennis Mizzoni, Aaron Perseghin, Aaron Pinto, Aaron Perseghin and Ryan Zadera made up the seven-piece line-up for the night—they shared instrumental and vocal duties, trading instruments between songs, which kept their approach constantly evolving and unique. The band played many new songs that showed the band leaning in a more Americana direction—acoustic, upbeat stomp-alongs with strong focus on melody. As songwriters, they wear their influences on their sleeves—one can pick out bits of Elvis Costello, Big Star, Nick Drake, Weezer and whomever else happens to be influencing them at the moment they pen a song. Over their four years at Loyola, the Palace at 4 a.m.’s songwriting has only become more crisp, their arrangements tighter and their shows all the more exciting.
The final band of the evening was the AM Sessions, a Mumford and Sons-like band comprised of five people and a vast array of instruments. Between the very few members there was a mandolin, a sythesizer, two to three acoustic guitars at any time, an electric guitar, a bass, a kickdrum (for down-home bluegrass theatrics) and percussion. They opened with an impressive cover of “Little Lion Man,” with bold harmonies and a strong acoustic arrangement that many other bands would find hard to follow. On a whole, the night featured some truly incredible music. The diversity in sounds and approaches shown by each group is a testament to the creativity and passion of the musicians on-campus (and off-campus, in the case of A Cool Stick). When paired with the joyous and, at times, mournful Relay For Life event, the music made the evening all the more emotional, uplifting and fun.

Loyola to host BU in post-season CIT at Reitz By Pat Terwedo Sports Editor After a heartbreaking loss to Manhattan in the MAAC quarterfinals last week, the Hounds thought their chance at a second consecutive postseason was finished. However, the Greyhounds’ season isn’t finished quite yet. They may not be participating in the big dance this year, but they will play host to Boston University in the College Insider Tournament on Tuesday night in Reitz Arena. The Greyhounds and BU Terriers are in no way strangers, having faced off just last year in Baltimore. Loyola came away with a 69-56 win in that meeting. The biggest storyline, however, is that Boston University and Loyola University are both set to leave their respective conferences following this year to join the Patriot League. The Greyhounds’ season has been inconsistent to say the least, after opening up with a 7-1 record the Hounds faltered immediately in conference play, losing their opener to Niagara. Bucknell and Memphis would prove to be major stumbling blocks for the Hounds as they rounded out their non-conference schedule. Their inconsistent play hurt them

Loyola will host its first ever post-season basketball game on Tuesday night against Boston University.
in the heart of their conference schedule, with back-to-back losses to Iona and Canisius. Loyola was able to rebound quickly with a crucial overtime road win over Niagara, but coughed up a loss to Marist just a few days later. The Hounds closed out their regular season with wins over Tennessee State and Manhattan, sandwiching a close loss to Iona. The Greyhounds entered the Conference tournament with the number three seed and high expectations. Their hopes of winning another MAAC title would be dashed when they were eliminated by Manhattan, a team they beat twice during the regular season, 55-52. Loyola’s star forward Erik Etherly was held to six points on just 1-10 shooting in the loss. Boston University’s season was quite different than the Hounds. After starting off with five straight losses, the Terriers battled back to .500 over the course of the season. After closing out their nonconference schedule a win over Howard, Boston lost their first two conference matchups before hitting their stride. The Terriers would score big wins over Vermont and Albany on their way to an 11-5 conference record. This game marks the first-ever postseason game in Reitz Arena for the Greyhounds at the division one level.
Greyhounds clobber Air Force at Mile High Classic By Chris Singlemann Staff Writer On a chilly day in Denver, Colorado, the Loyola men’s lacrosse team came away with a win against the United States Air Force Academy Falcons in the Whitman’s Sampler Mile High Classic on Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Zach Herreweyers, the freshman out of Canada, recorded his first career start today in lieu of the injured Mike Sawyer. The Hounds were lead by nine goals from the attack, and used a 4-0 run in the third quarter to put the Falcons away and held off to win it 13-7. Air Force was first to get on the board at 11:48 in the first quarter as Mike Crampton extended his streak of games with at least one goal to 23 games, the third longest in the NCAA; but Loyola quickly answered as Phil Dobson scored just 22 seconds later. Dobson’s goal was the start of a three goal run by the Hounds as Scott Ratliff set a pick and allowed Justin Ward to find Nikko Pontrello on the crease for his seventh goal of the season. Justin Ward continued the scoring off a power move around the left corner and drives in past Air Force goalie Austin Fox. Despite another Falcon’s goal, Loyola quickly answered again as Zach Herreweyers recorded his first career goal off a feed to the inside and quickly switched hands at the last second to dump it over Fox’s shoulder. Both teams scored only one goal in the second half, but Air Force scored quickly as Chris Allen scored on a low shot from

Loyola used a 4-0 run in the third quarter to pull away from the Falcons at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado on Saturday afternoon. outside. Despite three straight Air Force turnovers, Falcon’s goalie Austin Fox recorded seven saves in the first half to keep the Greyhounds at bay. Patrick Fanshaw recorded his second goal of the season on a hard cut to the middle and a feed from Justin Ward, which sent the Hounds up 5-3 into the break. Coming out of the locker room, the Greyhounds forced two quick turnovers on defense. Off of an ensuing transition,
Davis Butts beat his man and found Nikko Pontrello, who caught the pass mid air, set his feet and fired a strike into the top right corner to make it 6-3. The Falcons would answer this goal as Kyle Cassidy faked his defender with a wind up and scored to bring it within two. Pontrello answered in seconds off of the ensuing faceoff won by Loyola and double faked right on the door step for his second goal of the day.
THE GREYHOUND
The Falcons won the next faceoff and tried to push transition with a fast break shot, but Jack Runkel came up big with the save. Reid Acton picked up the loose ball, Pat Laconi ran it into the box and found Scott Ratliff, who ripped a shot from 12 yards out for the second Loyola goal in 40 seconds. Ratliff then caused a turnover on Air Force’s clear attempt and passed it off to an open Zach Herreweyers, who spun off of his defender and scored off the open look. Sean O’Sullivan fired one from far out off of an assist from Ward to finish the Hound’s four goal run at the end of the third. Jack Runkel made six saves in the third quarter to extend the Greyhound’s run. Air Force’s Tommy Mckee ignited their own three goal run until Herreweyers completed his first career hat trick with an overhand shot into the net. Ward and Pontrello rounded out the scoring with two goals on an empty net. Ward tied his career high in assists and was named the game’s MVP, while Pontrello recorded a career high four goals. Despite a strong showing by Air Force’s Austin Fox, who recorded over 12 saves, the Greyhounds took advantage of the Falcon’s quick slides, turnovers and great offensive looks to put the game away. Jack Runkel kept the Air Force attack at bay as he made nine saves, with seven in the second half. Loyola also dominated on ground balls and won 63 percent of the faceoffs to round out a very strong game for the Hounds. The Greyhounds continue their away streak against fellow Jesuit university, Georgetown on Wednesday, March 20.

Women’s lacrosse drops games to Delaware, JMU
6
By Amanda Ghysel Assistant Sports Editor
It was a grim week for Loyola women’s lacrosse, as the team lost both matches by a single goal—to opponents who are not nationally ranked. The first loss came Wednesday evening when the University of Delaware Blue Hens served the Greyhounds a 10-9 defeat in Newark, Del. The Blue Hens struck first, but senior Joanna Dalton would answer for the Greyhounds, though not until over 13 minutes had passed—the Hounds’ slowest start of the season. A mere 11 seconds later, Delaware would reclaim the lead, only to have it stripped away by goals from sophomore Molly Hulseman and junior Marlee Paton. The Blue Hens’ goal with 9:43 remaining would be the last tally of the first half, leaving the score knotted at three at the break. In the second frame, Delaware would score three more unanswered goals, giving them a 6-3 edge with 24:14 to play. The Greyhounds finally broke the run when sophomore Annie Thomas and Sydney Thomas connected on a free position attempt. After another goal from the Blue Hens

Redshirt sophomore Taryn VanThof, Paton and sophomore Kara Burke all converted free position attempts for the Hounds, with Paton recording her 50th career goal. Sophomore Hannah Schmitt was responsible for tying the game at eight, while Annie Thomas’ second goal of the game
pushed the Greyhounds ahead. With 4:49 to play, the Blue Hens evened the score at nine. The ensuing draw control resulted in what would be the game-winning goal, as the Hens capitalized on an open net after Loyola goalie Molly Wolf attempted to intercept a pass. Dalton and Annie Thomas led scoring for the Hounds with two goals apiece, while
NBA streaks, renaissances, playoff hunts By Philip Reid-Francisco Staff Writer In the NBA, it is very rare to see a long winning streak. What is the NBA’s longest streak ever? In the 1971-1972 season, the Los Angeles Lakers won an amazing 33 games in a row with the help of players like Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Gail Goodrich. In this 2012-2013 season, fans might be able to witness that record being broken. The reigning NBA Champions, the Miami Heat, have been on a hot streak. As of March 16, the Miami Heat have won an astonishing 21 games in a row. That is the third longest winning streak in NBA history. They have not lost since February 3. LeBron James is having a MVP-like season, averaging 27 PPG, 7 RPG and 8 APG. Dwayne Wade is also playing at the top of his game with his 22 PPG, 5 RPG and 5 APG. With the help from Chris Bosh, Ray Allen and Shane Battier, the Heat have looked unstoppable. The team already clinched a playoff berth, but that has not stopped them going all out every game during the regular season. Will the Heat reached 33 games? We’ll find out. Who said that the Los Angeles Lakers were not going to make the playoffs? A good amount of people said that the Lakers were barely going make the .500 mark. In the preseason, they went 0-8. After a 1-4 start in the regular season, head coach Mike Brown was fired. They hired Mike D’Antoni, but the Lakers still could not find their form. Steve Nash was injured, and Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard were not playing well together. It seemed that the Lakers’ run to the
playoffs each year was coming to an end. With having a 15-15 record ending 2012, they began 2013 with a six game losing streak, having critics certain that their prediction of the Lakers not making the playoffs would come true. But after the All-Star Game in mid-February, the Lakers went 8-2 and jumped back into playoff contention, fighting for that eight seed. Will the Lakers make the playoffs? With the leadership of Kobe Byrant and Dwight Howard’s resurgence, the Lakers have a shot to sneak into the playoffs despite having issues on and off the court. In both the Eastern and Western Conference, the playoff hunt is heating up. The Eastern Conference looks like they have their eight teams set: Heat, Pacers, Knicks, Nets, Hawks, Bulls, Celtics and Bucks. All these teams are above .500 and there is no race for the eighth spot. The only thing to keep an eye out for is the seeding. If you take a look at the standings, any seed from the third to the seventh spots are up for grabs. On the other coast, the Western Conference has a more intense playoff hunt spurring. The top five teams are the bound to clinch a playoff spot: Spurs, Thunder, Grizzlies, Clippers and Nuggets. However, the Warriors, Rockets and Lakers are trying to hold their playoff spots with the Jazz, Mavericks and Trailblazers right behind them. It is right to say that both the Eastern and Western Conference playoff hunts will be exciting to watch.

VanThof led the defense with four draw controls, two ground balls and three caused turnovers. The Greyhounds’ second loss came Saturday afternoon at Ridley, when the James Madison University Dukes defeated Loyola 9-8 in overtime. JMU got the first good looks of the game, but Wolf came up big, making four key saves in the opening moments to keep the game scoreless. It was Kara Burke who finally broke the scoreless tie, when VanThof sent her a pass off of a free position, giving Loyola their first of four unanswered goals in the first half. Burke earned her second of the game just over a minute later when the goalie turned to challenge Schmitt, who, instead of shooting, slid the ball over to Burke, who buried it in the open side of the net. Dalton was responsible for Loyola’s third goal when she capitalized on a free position with 18:17 to go in the half. Senior Kathleen Barranco earned her first goal of the season off a pass from Paton, as the Hounds held the Dukes scoreless, the tally reading 4-0 at halftime. This was the first time the Greyhounds had shutout a team in a half since April 3, 2009, when Loyola outscored UCONN 5-0 in the second frame to defeat the Huskies 17-2. Continued on page 20

Best, worst decisions of 2013 NFL free agency By Vincent LaGuardia Staff Writer
who had groomed Ellerbe to take over in the middle for Ray Lewis. But 35 million for an undersized Ellerbe? I’ll pass. There is no doubt that the linebacker has talent, but let’s wait and see how he does without that Raven’s defense surrounding him. The Ravens had no choice but to let him go. This is the second time in the past few years that the Dolphins have attempted to revamp their linebacking core, and it’s safe to say that the first time was not necessarily a success. Browns sign LB Paul Kruger to a 5-year, $41 million contract We see this every year. A pass rusher with some intangibles from a good team gets massively overpaid. There is no doubt Kruger has a high motor and gets to the quarterback on occasion, but the Browns want to focus their defense around Kruger? Really? Let’s see how well Kruger plays when he doesn’t have the likes of Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata and Ray Lewis taking away some of the attention. Good luck. Colts sign Laron Landry to a 4 year, $24 million contract That is a lot of money to give to an injury-prone safety. Sure, Landry can lay the wood and had an impressive season for the Jets in 2012, but can he stay on the field in Indianapolis long enough to make an impact?
The 2013 NFL Free Agency period started out with a bang, as multiple teams hurried to lock up players in hopes of making a run at a championship this upcoming season. Here are some of the best and worst moves from the start of free agency, including a few trades that should have some major impact on the NFC race. BEST MOVES: Seahawks acquire WR Percy Harvin from the Vikings for 2013 1st and 7thround picks; 2014 mid-rounder It was clear Percy Harvin wanted out of Minnesota, and Seattle provides an ideal destination for the do-it-all offensive threat. You could argue that a 5-year, $67 million contract for a player with injury and maturity issues is certainly overpaying, but Harvin provides an electric weapon for Russell Wilson and the Seahawk offense. This move adds Seattle into the conversation as a potential Super Bowl contender for the upcoming season. Broncos sign WR Wes Welker to a 2-year, $12 million contract Sorry Patriots fans, this is certainly a tough one to swallow. For the Broncos, the move greatly improves a Denver passing game that already includes Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker and gives Peyton Manning a proven weapon in the slot. Denver travels to New England this upcoming season. Circle that one on your calendars. 49ers acquire WR Anquan Boldin from the Ravens for a 6th round draft pick Much to the disappointment of Ravens fans, San Francisco was able to acquire the Super Bowl champion wide receiver for a mere 6th round pick. Yes, they will have to take on his $6 million in salary for this upcoming season, but the 49ers are in winnow mode and Boldin adds another reliable, tough and dynamic weapon for the emerging Colin Kaepernick. It is tough to ignore that,
as of now, San Francisco goes into next season with the best roster on paper. It will be interesting to see how Boldin takes the 49ers to the next level offensively. Seahawks sign DE’s Cliff Avril for 2 years at $15 million, and Michael Bennett for 1 year at $5 million Look out for Seattle. Avril and Bennett certainly have their flaws, but anytime you can acquire what are arguably the two best
pass rushers on the market for those prices, you are talking about major steals. Add in 2012 draft pick Bruce Irvin and the Seattle defense is suddenly looking nearly as scary as its offense. WORST MOVES: Dolphins sign LB Dannell Ellerbe to a 5-year, $35 million contract This is another big loss for Baltimore,
LET’S WAIT AND SEE: Dolphins sign Mike Wallace to a 5-year, $65 million contract Talk about big money for Wallace. The Dolphins were aggressive on opening day and are looking to challenge the Patriots for the AFC East crown in 2013. It was evident that they needed a big outside threat for secondyear quarterback Ryan Tannehill, and Wallace provides that. Yet, $65 million is quite a hefty price for a receiver that suffers from his fair share of drops and one that the Steelers chose to let walk in favor of Antonio Brown. The jury is still out on this one. We will have to wait and see if Wallace can be the first home run threat receiver for the Dolphins since Brandon Marshall left Miami.
would find the back of the net with 15 seconds to go, once again tying the game and forcing overtime. It was JMU who struck first in overtime, but VanThof would answer for the Hounds, knotting the score yet again. But JMU sophomore Ali Curwin would break through the Loyola back line and bury it past Molly Wolf in the waning moments of the overtime period to earn the Dukes the victory. Burke and Dalton notched two apiece to lead scoring for the Greyhounds, who have now fallen into a three-game losing skid, their record now reading 2-5. But both head coach Jen Adams and her players realize that the most important games of their season are just on the horizon, as they enter into BIG EAST conference play next week with a home game against Louisville at 7 p.m. on Friday. “These games become irrelevant,” said Paton, emphasizing that team’s rough start to the season will be a stepping stone for improvement in league play.
“This team does have a lot of heart and a lot of talent,” said Adams, speaking to the fact that three of the team’s five losses have
been by a one-goal margin. “They say close games build character, so we must have a hell of a lot of character.”

Anquan Boldin was one of the first major moves of free agency this year, the veteran receieve was traded to the 49ers after failing to negotiate a paycut.
Hounds lose back-to-back one goal games continued Continued from page 17 However, this shutout would leave the Hounds with a different fate. The Dukes came out hot in the second half, scoring three unanswered goals in the first 3:20 to slash the Hounds’ lead to one and suddenly bring the Dukes within striking distance. VanThof would push the lead back to two, finding the back of the net on an impressive diving play with 25:16 to go. But JMU would answer right back with a goal from sophomore Steph Finley, who crept out from behind the goal frame and took advantage of an open net. Loyola would score just a minute later, as Annie Thomas connected with Paton to give the Hounds a 6-4 lead. Two more JMU goals from freshman Taylor Gress and senior Casey Ancarrow would knot the score at six with 12:09 to go. Dalton would capitalize on a free position with 6:31 to go to give Loyola its last lead of the game. The Dukes, in dramatic fashion,
