NEW YORK, OCTOBER 26, 2021

OneManhattan Gears Up For Flu Season The winter months approaching leads us to a new challenge: how to handle any possible COVID outbreaks in the midst of getting used to in-person instruction. Manhattan College is taking necessary steps to ensure that the campus overcomes flu and cold season while still facing a worldwide pandemic.

In an email sent out by OneManhattan to the college community on Oct. 21, it was reported that there are currently two active cases of COVID-19 on campus with 27 recovered cases since the beginning of the semester. An email sent out on Oct. 14 reported three active cases and 23 recovered cases since the start of the semester.

The way in which the college is informing students of COVID-19 statistics on campus is now different from emails throughout the previous year.

The Oct. 14 email stated that only “aggregate positive and recovered cases” are being reported in comparison to percentages and comparison to city wide statistics.

Multiple offices on campus are also beginning to set up flu clinics on campus to brace campus community members for the upcoming flu season during a pandemic.

“It is especially critical to receive your flu shot during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the overall burden of respiratory illnesses on the healthcare system. Annual flu vaccines are one of the best ways to prevent yourself, your coworkers and your family from getting the flu,” the Oct. 14 email stated.

Health Services partnered with Imperial Pharmacy as a means of delivering flu vaccines to students at the college

on Oct.14 in Smith Auditorium.

In order to receive the vaccine and enter the clinic, students were required to show their green pass, Manhattan College ID and insurance card.

The office of Human Resources will be hosting a “flu clinic and wellness screening” on campus in the Alumni Room on the first floor of the O’Malley Library from 7:30 am to 12 pm on Oct. 22 as well.

“Both the screening and flu shot is available at no cost to employees, spouses, and/or dependent 18 years and older who are enrolled in the Christian Brothers Services medical plan,” the email stated.

Both emails state that those who are not members of the Christians Brothers Services medical plan can also login to empowerhealthservices. info to use the client code cbs to register.

To further promote safety in a fun way, the college is holding a contest for students to post their most colorful masks and potentially win a hundred dollar Visa gift card and tickets to see either Billie Eilish or a NY Jets game. Students can post an image on their Instagram feed or story and tag @ mcstudentengage or @manhattanedu until Oct. 25 to win.

The environment of mask wearing and cautiousness is encouraged by the college in order to maintain a safe and healthy semester.

“We continue to follow the best practices and guidance from New York state and the Centers of Disease Control: testing symptomatic individuals, with weekly surveillance testing of those with approved exceptions or who are not yet fully vaccinated. We are also doing the appropriate contract tracing, and isolating COVID-19 cases that arise within the population,” the Oct. 14 email stated.

Cristina Pérez Jiménez Receives U.S. Latino Digital Humanities Grant for Innovative Project Nicole Fitzsimmons & Kyla Guifoil News Editor & Asst. News Editor

Cristina Pérez Jiménez, Ph.D., assistant professor of English at Manhattan College, is one of nine to receive a research stipend in the prestigious U.S. Latino Digital Humanities Grants-in-Aid program. This will help further her research and development of her own digital humanities project focusing on her project, “the Latino Catskills.”

Alongside the help of her co-principal investigator, J. Brett Maney, Ph.D., assistant professor of English at CUNY Lehman College, Pérez Jiménez is looking to create a project with two main features:

a clickable mapping interface and multimedia exhibits. Each component will be digitally accessible and detailed to highlight the grand Latino presence in the Catskills.

“This is a project that I’ve been thinking about for many years now. I have a big folder, a digital folder, on my desktop where I’ve been accumulating documentation about the Latino presence in the Catskills since the 19th century,” she said.

In a place that has been historically understood as lacking extensive diversity, the Catskills actually has a rich history of various identities, especially for the Latino community, which Pérez Jiménez hopes to uncover through this project.

“I think a lot of my students think of the Catskills as

a space that is foreign to their experiences, and the Latino experiences have overwhelmingly been concentrated in urban environments, right,” she said. “So, we tend to think of Latino identity specifically in New York, and it’s important to recover and to document that these other spaces have also been significant for the development of a Latino identity.

And, the leisure, recreation experience of being on vacation, all of that is significant to the U.S. Latino experience.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 breadth of the course in understanding Latino literature.

“My favorite part of the class, I guess, is just how she’s not only showing us Puerto Rican literature, which is what I thought this class would mainly be about because, you know, Puerto Rico is a region of the U.S., but she has shown us Mexican readings, Peurto Rican, Cuban, and she has a whole semester with all these different Latino and Hispanic works and it’s just really nice to learn about that,” she said.

Pérez Jiménez’s passion for the topic further emphasizes the ways in which Panassol has experienced an enrichment of her understanding of the Latino community, which interests her especially since she is from Brazil.

“She’s so passionate about everything that she is teaching us and she clearly has a very broad understanding of all the poems and all of the readings and books that we’ve read so far, and she’s a great professor,” she said.

Pérez Jiménez is looking towards incorporating aspects of the Latino Catskills project into her teaching. She hopes it will allow the Manhattan College and local community to become a part of the project, especially given the rich Latino history in the Bronx.

“We really hope the broader community will have access.

Something that’s been really interesting to me is since the announcement of the grants, it was posted on various channels of social media, on Twitter and Facebook, and we’ve already had lots of people from the New York Latinx community saying, ‘I remember when I was growing up with my parents going to giras [day trips] or vacationing in the Catskills.’ So, I think the announcement of the project is already starting to generate and organize, it’s going to uncover and unearth a lot more stories,” she said.

Looking forward, she is excited to see students help as research assistants and as part of a larger audience for the project. Gemma Franzetti, junior business analytics major and student in the Latino New York: Cultural Identities class taught

by Pérez Jiménez during the previous semester, believes that this grant is a testament towards her passion for enriching the minds of students.

“Dr. Pérez Jiménez was able to introduce the class to many different Latino works of literature which expanded my un-

MANHATTAN.EDU / COURTESY derstanding on the importance Latino literature has in New York City,” Franzetti said. “Dr. Pérez Jiménez has a love and drive for teaching and made taking the class easy which can be translated into all her works outside, and it’s a well deserved grant for her.”

Chris Osorio, sophomore adolescent education major, is a first generation American Latino college student, who also took Latino Literature with Pérez Jiménez. Osorio explains that she is able to both celebrate and recognize the struggle of being Latino in America.

“I think that she deserves the US Latino Digital Humanities Grants because she truly encapsulates the Latino experience and thoroughly explains the struggle of life as a marginalized group through different perspectives,” Osorio told The Quadrangle. “She understands the multiple dimensions of the beautiful and ugly of what it means to be latino in America and through her love for literature she echoes it immensely with the chosen literature within her classes.”

For Osorio, it has been impactful to learn about the immigration of Puerto Ricans to New York, and the literature that exists behind it.

“This is a topic in which a typical American history class would only cover for 5 min and overlook the circumstances and stories of them which

makes New York so special,” Osorio wrote.

The development of the digital arts and humanities program at Manhattan is something that Pérez Jiménez believes is important towards similar projects.

“We have such a wonderful digital humanities program at Manhattan College under the really stellar leadership of Dr. Maeve Adams,” she said. “So, I think that has also been a galvanizing force in terms of faculty, some of us that have started to think about doing projects in the digital humanities...That’s something I would also mention, that, you know, it’s really great that Dr. Adams has already created an infrastructure to get visibility and support digital humanities projects.”

The upcoming months will focus on three steps that will be taken to properly develop the project, including organizing the documentation and creating the metadata, creating the mapping interface which will serve as a geographic portrait of certain significant sites, such as hotels that catered in the Latino community in the Catskills, and to also find any additional materials for the curated galleries.

The diverse landscape of the Catskills has been a historical space for various cultures, and Pérez Jiménez’s work celebrates the importance of Latinos’ impact there.

Jaspers Combat Food Insecurity with Dining Dollar Donations Megan LaCreta

Asst. Features Editor On Oct. 7, Residence Life sent out an email to students titled “Food Insecurity on Campus” to readdress the continuously serious issue of food availability to all members of college campuses.

According to the email from Residence Life, “Food insecurity refers to inadequate or unreliable access to affordable, nutritious food. Food insecurity impacts about 15% of college students according to a study published in Public Health Nutrition.”

The Food Insecurity Committee at Manhattan College exists to combat the issue on our own campus. Marilyn Carter, director of Commuter Services and committee member, described the need for such a coalition at MC. “Food insecurity for college students is across the country, and quite frankly we are behind the times,” Carter said.

“It’s something that the committee brought to the table… three years ago when a couple of us got together and we were speaking about the students on campus, particularly the commuters, because I look over the commuter population, and they travel, they live at home and some of them don’t necessarily have enough food on the table.”

While food insecurity is less prevalent in resident student populations, since resident students are more likely to have a meal plan through the college, Hayden Greene, director of Multicultural Affairs and chair of the Food Insecurity Committee, points out that it can’t be assumed that residents go completely unaffected by the issue.

“The thing about food insecurity is that it is not just an individual idea, right, it’s the whole family unit,” Greene said. “So if you live on campus and you have a meal plan, but back home, your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister,

the rest of your extended family are having trouble putting food on the table, that weighs on you … It’s the exact same kind of impedance to success for our students.”

The pandemic has also had an impact on how food insecurity affects students. Greene explained that a source of food for many students on campus was events where food was provided, and students were able to take any leftovers. This is still a problem coming out of the pandemic, Greene explained.

“We’re just now getting back into having food events, or food at events. But even with that, that’s at a smaller amount because during the pandemic, everybody’s budget got cut so we’re not able to buy as much food as we would normally,” Greene said. “And as a result you see events utilizing all the food that they have and not having a lot of overage. So on one hand, that’s a good thing, because there’s not a lot of food waste happening, But on the other hand, we’re pretty sure that there’s a whole component of the community that was reliant on those food events to have that extra food in order to

eat that day.”

Sophomore international studies major Gabriela Sandoval lives off-campus, who is more likely to get food from Kelly Commons or in the Multicultural Center than the dining hall when she takes advantage of campus dining. While she believes the school has active resources for food, she explained that the healthiness of the food provided is an issue that needs addressing.

“Most commuter or resi-commuter students eat in Kelly, but most of the food is either fried or pre-packaged.

I think bringing in healthier options on campus would encourage me and other commuter students to eat during our breaks,” Sandoval said.

The committee is taking steps to address food insecurity in the community. They are currently working with the college’s food services provider, Aramark, to get the company directly involved in the issue.

“We want [Aramark] to get involved in the social aspect of food insecurity, and so they have a couple of different things you know we’re working on,” Carter said. “Hayden

Greene, chair of the committee, has just drafted a letter to go out to store owners in the particular area to see whether they will donate [food], so Aramark is donating a pantry for us to store this.”

The committee is also working with Aramark to create a mobile ordering system for Kelly Commons.

Another method of addressing food insecurity is through the Dining Dollar Donation Program. The program allows Jaspers to donate some of their own dining dollars to students who are facing food insecurity.

Greene explained why students who can should consider donating.

“Every year students have this glut of [dining dollars] that they just simply have not used, and then they end up doing wasteful things like buying a giant pallet of ramen that they’re just never going to use, it ends up getting thrown out,” Greene said. “And so we wanted to be able to be preemptive and hopefully get our students in a mindful state … You sit in classes with people, and you never know whether the person to your left, or to your right, is

thinking about whether or not they’re going to be able to eat today, and in your pocket is the way to help them in an anonymous way and sometimes really a non impactful way to most students.”

For her part, Sandoval is glad that such a program exists at Manhattan and thinks it can be a meaningful part of campus through helping fellow Jaspers.

“I think that [the Dining Dollar Donation Program] is an amazing program,” Sandoval said. “You never know what someone’s going through, so giving them access to a meal each night could help them more than you think.”

The Dining Dollar Donation Form can be accessed by logging into the MyHousing portal, and can be found under “Helpful Links.” To seek assistance for you or someone you know facing food insecurity, the Food Insecurity Request Form can be found on the Dean of Students page of the college website, under “#JasperFoodShare — Food Insecurity Support.”

Happy 3rd Birthday to the LWGRC Karen Flores Staff Writer

On Tuesday, Oct. 19, the Lasallian Women and Gender Resource Center celebrated its third birthday since its founding in 2018.

The LWGRC, located in Kelly Commons Room 3C, is a safe place to talk about topics ranging from sexuality, careers, identity, body positivity as well as sexual assault, harassment and reproductive justice. This student-led community strives to promote feminism and social and gender justice and provide support to students of all gendered and racial identities.

Jordan Pascoe, Ph.D., associate professor of Philosophy, Women and Gender studies, and Critical Race and Ethnicity Studies, is the co-founder of LWGRC and was previously the co-director before stepping down this past spring.

Pascoe describes that the LWGRC had been an idea in

the making since 2016.

“We always knew we needed to provide support to survivors of sexual and gender violence, that we needed advocacy for LGBTQ+ students, and that we needed to cultivate spaces for honest, open conversations about sex and sexuality at Manhattan — something that was totally unheard of when we started,” Pascoe said.

She worked alongside the students and administration at Manhattan and joined forces with other women and gender centers in Catholic universities around the nation to help build the center.

Before having its current space, Pascoe said the LWGRC was an informal group that would meet in her office and arranged events however they could. Now, the organization has its own space, staff, board of advisors and a strong leadership structure that allows for students and faculty members to have a balanced footing in order to support student voices. This has in turn allowed for student participation, events and advocacy projects to grow tremendously.

This past year, the LWGRC managed to keep their community running and even tripled the size of their student intern team in order to ensure that during the pandemic, students felt they still had the same support despite being virtual and not being able to see each other. Before stepping down from her position this last spring, Pascoe described that she enjoyed working with students, but the most significant part of her involvement was the “student-led coalition-building and advocacy.”

The current co-directors

are Evelyn Scaramella, associate professor of Spanish, and Rachel Cirelli, director of the Center for Career Development.

Cirelli, who began her role as co-director in the summer, said that now that everything is slowly shifting back into person, she is excited for all that is to come in the next few months and to get to know more about Manhattan College students.

“We’re an inclusive space and no matter what gender you identify as, we’re just a comfortable, safe, supportive space,” Cirelli said. “We’d always like to meet more students, so come by and meet us.”

Amanda Touse, a Business Analytics major and member of the MC Women’s rowing team is an intern in the LWGRC. “[The LWGRC is] very welcoming, encouraging, and [a] safe space with amazing individuals there who all want to see you thrive and be your happiest and most powerful self,”

“The hope is that any student on campus who is dealing with a loss will feel supported by other students supported by the Counseling Center and also just by other students,” Zambrano said. “And that they recognize that they’re not alone on campus, that there are students who are grieving, and that it’s okay to not know where to put that sometimes and to just normalize the experience of grief, and to know that this is something that everybody experiences in life, and to be able to open a dialog about it.”

Brother Thomas Franks, college Chaplain and Counseling Center intern, discussed the importance of having a group especially during the pandemic.

“These last couple of years with the pandemic and everything, people are grieving losses of loved ones, loss of normal ways, [and] so many things,” Franks said. “So [the group is] to help everyone feel that

they have a space to grieve, to mourn, to share those feelings, and to lift each other up.”

Nuwan Jayawickreme, Ph.D., the Director of the Peace and Justice Studies Program and a psychology professor at Manhattan College summed up what grief is.

“Grief is essentially a process where we kind of make sense of loss,” Jayawickreme said.

One can feel grief after a minor loss, such as not getting the part in a play, or in a major way such as the loss of someone close. One may grieve when someone moves away, or after a breakup as well. Jayawickreme went on to explain that there are no set stages in the grieving process.

“Grief can be messy,” Jayawickreme said. “You can feel you’re feeling better, you can come in the last year accepting it and then you may be like, actually no, you’re not coming to terms with it and that you’re

On Tuesday, Oct. 19, the Lasallian Women and Gender Resource Center celebrated its third birthday since its founding in 2018.

KAREN FLORES / THE QUADRANGLE Touse said.

She notes that she is looking forward to holding all their programs in person again and to interacting with new people, sharing with them all that the LWGRC has offered and taught her about self-love and being a powerful woman.

As people ate food, decorated their laptops with self-empowering stickers and sat together in the center, everyone celebrated the success of the organization as a strong and supportive community, which is what the mission of the LWGRC is.

Chris Colavito, biology major, who heard of the LWGRC from the club fair with his friends who were at the celebration said that having a safe place on campus where he could fearlessly be himself was what makes it so special to him.

“The best thing about being a part of the LWGRC community is the ability to have a safe space on campus,” Colavito

said.

The LWGRC holds events and programs that allow students to ask questions and to speak their truths in a place where there is no judgment.

Love in the Dark is one of their most successful programs where students ask questions in regards to sex and have open and honest conversations about desire, sex and relationships. They also have #MeToo Mondays which is a peer-led support group for survivors of abuse that has been happening for two years. Other programs include Slow Burn and Agitating the Charism, all of which hope to support, teach and empower all that chose to join in.

For any questions in regards to the LWGRC and how to join, please contact lasallianwomenandgender@manhattan.edu or feel free to stop by during office hours at Kelly Commons room 3C.

MC Counseling Center Is Forming A Grief Support Group Kelly Cwik

Asst. A&E Editor The Manhattan College Counseling Center is in the process of forming a grief support group for students who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

Grief support groups are a way for individuals who have experienced a loss to have a place to discuss with others who have had similar experiences. Grief can be isolating, so a group is a way for individuals to know they are not going through it alone. Having the Grief Support Group at the college allows students to be able to talk with people their own age and know they are not alone on campus.

Nicol Zambrano, Assistant Director at the Counseling Center and the organizer of the Grief Support Group discussed her hopes for bringing this group to MC.

actually struggling. Coming to terms with something can take time.”

Jayawickreme believes having a grief support group on campus would be beneficial.

However, not everyone grieves in the same way as Jayawickreme explains.

“People grieve in different ways,” Jayawickreme said.

“Some people want to talk about it … then there’s some people who are stoic for damages, getting back to their routine, but stuff like getting through the day doing what they’re supposed to do, hopefully whatever rules they have, but at home or on campus.”

Franks describes how he counsels and supports students not only on a mental health level but also on a spiritual level.

“One of the challenges [that comes] whenever we encounter a loss, especially someone very dear to us or we know a sudden and unexpected loss of life, [is that] it evokes a lot of

those fundamental or foundational questions we have about human life and the realm of our connection with God and how God may factor into experiences of loss,” Franks said. “So providing a space for people to process those questions and understand the sense of a loving God as we would proclaim from a Christian perspective.”

The group will meet in-person with time and day to still be determined. Anyone who is interested in the group should contact Nicol Zambrano via email, nzambrano01@manhattan.edu. Zambrano is available to answer questions about the group as well.

“Anyone interested or even if they have questions about it, don’t be afraid to reach out because even if you decide not to join, just to learn a little bit more about what’s going on, and that it’s a safe confidential group,” Zambrano said.

The Sky’s the Limit for Manhattan College Alum, Working at SUMMIT One Vanderbuilt Madalyn Johnson & Lauren Raziano Web Editor & Social Media Editor

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is the new hyperdynamic dayto-night art and observation deck over the New York City landscape. The supertall skyscraper located in midtown Manhattan opened Thursday, Oct. 21, and already has first time attendees raving about the experience as a sky-high thrill that will blow you away.

Maddy Berry ‘19 was an integral part of the exhibit’s grand opening. Berry is currently a senior account executive for BerlinRosen, a public relations agency in Manhattan that works with clients from various industries ranging from real estate, nonprofit and issue advocacy. Berry works for the “Cities” team which focuses on managing public relations for real estate firms and building developers.

On this particular project, Berry is doing public relations for SL Green, a real estate investment trust company that is working as the developer for SUMMIT One Vanderbilt.

She describes how planning a media event for an exhibit that showcases New York City in a way no one has ever seen was challenging, although worthwhile in the end.

“This is one of our ending events,” Berry said. “We’re really doing a last, final press push. We wanted people to experience the night because we have had press during the day to experience that, but night is totally different.”

Berry describes how planning the event was challenging, particularly in regards to finding people and press to come.

“Planning it from start to finish was really a beast, it was

finding the right people, finding the right outlets who had to source out your audience, who would want to come here, ‘Is it tourists or is it locals?’,” Berry said. “This type of space everyone wants to come here doesn’t matter if you’re from New York or Wisconsin. So, planning it was super fun but super hard work.”

Just two years after graduating, Berry has worked on projects with big clients based in New York, despite not studying public relations when attending Manhattan College. Berry’s story of majoring in a core curriculum subject and then maintaining a successful career in public relations demonstrates to students that the sky’s the limit once they leave college.

“I had a history degree because I loved studying people and history and sociology and the first job I could find out of college was real estate PR and they said, ‘You have a history degree, you must be good at writing, you must be good at research’,” Berry said. “I took the job and ended up loving it, and it flourished into an actual career. I knew there was PR for makeup and beauty, but I didn’t know there was PR for buildings and developers and experiences.”

On top of working with the building developer, Berry also had the opportunity of working with the artist who had the brilliant idea to create an illusion that would offer a spectacular art experience within the space of SUMMIT One Vanderbilt.

The mirrored observation deck 90+ floors above New York City all came in a dream 25 years ago to its creator, Kenzo Digital. He called this project “Air.” Digital is a New York native who helped put this space together. Digital strived to create a space where people were able to interact with themselves and

each other in both an abstracted and literal way.

“I feel like I’m in a dream, and I’m building a project that’s based on a recurring dream I’ve been having for 25 years,” Digital said. “So between the confluence of all that. It’s quite strange and intense, but it’s also really interesting to have this world that only I’ve kind of experienced for 25 years that is now a shared world with other people.”

Digital describes how many people have visited the space lately, which is a pleasing feeling. Digital enjoys seeing people converse with each other in this unique atmosphere.

“It just makes me really happy, especially at this time in history, in this city, in this world, I think serendipitously something that I didn’t even know I needed in this way,” Digital said. “It’s great to see people reconnect with each other [here]. It’s very much a kind of individual to human connection and the way people interact with each other as friends or as strangers is unique and singular and powerful.”

Crystal artist Kerin Rose Gold has been friends with Kenzo Digital for over ten years. Gold has supported her friend by attending the opening and promoting the installation on her socials and by doing so, has felt deeply connected to the exhibit.

“I’ve actually been having a hard time articulating how I feel about the exhibit because it’s so overwhelming in the best of all possible meanings,” Gold said. “It really makes you think about your own humanity, about your relationship to other people, and about your relationship to New York City.”

After exclusively seeing the deck before its grand opening, Gold knows she will be back to see what else she can take away

Manhattan College Alum Maddy Berry ‘19 was an integral part of the grand opening campaign.

“I’m still processing the experience, and probably will be for a long time and look forward to coming back again and again to experience it in a different light, both literally and metaphorically,” Gold said.

Christine Tran Ferguson is a New York City content creator with close to 500k followers on her Instagram account, @tourdelust. Ferguson’s last two videos with the Summit One Vanderbuilt account have racked up over 10 million views on Instagram reels and Tik Tok. She shared her thoughts on the interactive experience after the captivating light show.

“This experience is super amazing, super unique, and very different,” Ferguson said.

“I love how there are so many different floors and there are many opportunities to take photos, since that is what I do.

I really love all the mirrors, it is just so different and unique than other observatories and you can see everything on this floor.”

In such a short time, Berry has become a leading example, to college students, on how to land a successful career post-graduation. She thanks Manhattan College for teaching her how vital networking is and motivating her to make significant changes to a city that millions of people cherish.

“I think just encouraging you to network, Manhattan College was always good with getting out there and doing a lot of career fairs,” Berry said. “The teachers were amazing, it was a very liberal arts college. It was people who believed in the better of humanity and wanted to raise the next generation to do so and that encouraged me to create a better future for New York.”

Jasper Jams: Songs To Help You Survive the Tumultuous Weather JASPER JAMS Karen Flores Staff

As the weather changes, we all try to avoid getting sick, whether it is mentally or physically. The fluctuations between summer and winter make it hard to pick outfits, hairstyles and even which drink to get at Starbucks. Some people look to stay inside and just relax while others want to experience some excitement.

I find I need a bit of a boost of energy and vitality to keep myself up and moving while also needing a bit of relaxation after a long day of classes and extracurriculars. I am a lover of amazing beat drops and basslines. I guess you can say sometimes it’s all about the bass for me. Below is a playlist of some of the songs that have me swooning over the beats and rhythms. Whether you want to get up and dance or you want to lay down and just hum to a song, these are some of my go to songs to feel just a little bit more grounded and lively.

Ghost Log Cabin, is very raw and shows the complexity that is life and the experiences we encounter. I would recommend this album to those who are looking for new artists on the rising. His music is powerful.

You by Regard, Troye Sivan, Tate McRae If there is one song that could get me up and moving it would be this one. The beat drops in this song are immaculate and that tempo makes you want to get up and dance as you hold a brush in your hand singing the verses. Troye’s voice is deep at first then it lightes when the beat drops. When the electronic melody plays before Tate sings with her rich voice, I find myself moving my shoulders and head to the beat. Even though I do not have a “you” per se, this is the song I listen to if I need to feel like I’m at a party with the music blasting in my ears.

One I want by Majid Jordan (feat. PARTYNEXTDOOR) The first few seconds of this song is composed of a very steady and crisp tempo. When I am having a million thoughts running through my head, I blast this song, waiting for the beat drop that introduces PARTYNEXTDOOR’s low and harmonic voice which is later countered with Majid’s lighter and melodic voice. It’s the electronic tempo that calms me down whether I am laying in bed in my jammies or taking a walk at Van Cortlandt.

Red Lights by Rini (feat Wale) Rini was one of my favorite artists of all time. If there was one artist that I would say captures what it is like to love, desire and want a person, it is Rini. His sensual voice harmonizes with the undertone of the electronic instruments.

The rhythm soothes me and as I relax after a long day, this song is a song that I want to sing my soul and feelings out to. Rini has a way of portraying a patient yet urgent type of love and lust between two people who wish to know every part of each other as soon as possible.

It’s a vibe of its own. I would recommend for everyone to listen to all his music as he has a special way of portraying different emotions within love.

Ayudame by Ché This is my favorite song in Ché’s album.The trumpet in the background and the piano both provide a steady stream of rhythm. This song is one that helps me reflect on my thoughts and actions throughout my day. “My guess the first step is leaving, funny yeah how that’s the hardest.” This line reminds me that even baby steps towards getting a better grade in class, being healthier or just trying to be more positive is hard and that it is a feeling many people go through.

Ché talks about the support and love that got him through times where he feared those who caused him pain and how he expected too much from himself and after getting help, was able to take steps towards bettering himself. His album,

Better Believe by Belly, The Weeknd, Young Thug Now this is the song you want to play if you ever feel like you are missing a boost of confidence or just want to feel like you are on top of the world. This song talks about someone wanting to prove the world wrong. Someone wanting to be one of the greatest and that is confident in their ability to reach their goals. After a long day, everyone could use some hyping up to feel better. The bass part seems to emphasize the recurring phrase “You better believe” and this to me is like when someone sets a goal in their minds and strives to achieve it so they can pave the way for their success.

Everyone has different paths and goals but this song can be a hype song for anyone.

Love by Kendrick Lamar (feat. Zacari) The slowed down drums and electronic harmony in the background of the song plays a key role in emphasizing the message of the song. Kendrick asks if his significant other would still love him if he were poor or didn’t have all he did.

He says he would rather his significant other trust him than love him because without her in his life, he doesn’t have anyone.

Zacari finishes by saying he simply wants to love his significant other no matter what. This is the dilemma that many relationships go through. Would they sacrifice a friendship and the trust of each other to try and pursue a romance with each other? Would it be worth it? This is a song that keeps my mind at ease and makes me wonder about the complexity

that is love.

my name.”

Yes I’m Changing by Tame Impala I recently discovered this song as I searched for new music. I have never felt so nostalgic yet hopeful for the future.

This song talks about how a person never stops changing.

Tame Impala was speaking to a girl and was telling her that there was no future where they were together but that both of them had bright futures ahead.

Tame Impala saw a future where they could be together but he knew he had changed so he went to the future calling to him. Change is inevitable and as a freshman still trying to assimilate to college life, I can say that change happens quickly and everyday — “There is a world out there, and it’s calling

Take My Breath by The Weeknd My playlists are never complete without at least two songs with my favorite artist. The music video has parts where there is a group of people dancing with oxygen masks and dancing to the music makes me feel a sense of freedom. The beat reminds me of older 2000s music and it feels to me like music that electrifies your soul when the bass begins to get louder and as the Weeknd waits to say “take my breath away” the beat drops as he describes what his significant other does to him when he is near her. She takes his breath away. It’s a song that will get you dancing after you have been relaxing for a long time and is also a good song to exercise to.

The Lady of Mystery: Agatha Christie BOOK NOOK Angelina Persaud Staff Writer

There has been one author who has dominated the mystery novel industry, even posthumously: Agatha Christie.

Christie truly lived up to her mystery novelist status; so much so that her own life contained multiple instances of betrayal, heartbreak and her own mysterious vanishing in 1926.

Christie was born in Torquay, United Kingdom in 1890.

Her mother was a proponent in her journey to become an author and encouraged her daughter to read and write.

From a young age, she was transfixed with creating her own characters and constantly made up stories and plays.

She married her first husband, Archibald Christie, in 1918 while simultaneously publishing her first book and creating one of the most iconic, eccentric detectives in mystery literature, Hercule Poirot.

Shortly after their marriage came a bitter divorce when she discovered her husband had taken a mistress. After that, she disappeared for about two weeks until police discovered she had checked into a hotel under the name of her husband’s mistress. She passed away at the age of 85 in 1976.

The first book I ever read from Agatha Christie was one of her most widely popular novels, “And Then There Were None.”

Christie wasted no time inviting her readers into a world of mystery constructed on the unique traits of the characters.

The story revolves around a group of characters who are invited to stay in a house on an island. However, during their stay they start to discover a more sinister layer to their vacation when members of the group begin vanishing and are killed.

It prompts the group to start pinning the blame on each other and ultimately what comes is a struggle for survival to try and find out who is behind the whole scheme.

In the modern sense, I like to think of it as an escape room gone wrong. What’s really fascinating about this book in particular is that she created each character with their own set of flaws. For example, some were too strong-headed to cooperate

with the group while others were too frightened to take any action and caused major setbacks.

These flaws translate into the red herrings that were woven delicately throughout the story to create a riveting plot of betrayal and deceit.

Similarly, “Murder on the Orient Express” is another timeless classic of Christie’s that never ceases to amaze me.

It begins with a group of passengers on a train car, each with a different social status and purpose for travelling. Initially, they all seem detached from each other and merely go about their day while observing each other from afar.

However, each has a vendetta that they wish to execute, which culminates into a fastpaced tale of suspense and vengeance ending with the demise of a common enemy of all the characters.

Granted that the setting for this book is fairly stationary, Christie is able to create a story that engages all of the characters and weaves a tale of deceit and suspense.

It was after reading this book that I became transfixed with the great detective Hercule Poirot. The way he was able to shake the truth out of everyone merely by piecing together different lies astounds me to this day.

There is much criticism to be had regarding the movie adaptation of this book, but in the literary sense she accomplished the goal of a true mystery novelist: constant action and suspense.

One aspect of Christie’s writing that really stands out to me is the interaction she creates between her characters.

She animates them in a way that seems close to reality yet is always drawn back to their fictional realm.

Most recently, I read her book “The Monogram Murders” and I was absorbed once again into the wonderful mystery of Christie’s work.

The story follows a trail of deception, love, heartbreak and of course, murder in the lives of three people from a small town in London.

I consider this book one of Christie’s more complex works, mainly due to the fact that Hercule Poirot was once again in full action.

Right from the start, Poirot was on site to offer critical re-

marks and was ultimately able to discover the culprit. He managed to piece together clues of the suspect’s lives and even figured out how their past relationships resolved into murderous intentions. He was especially compelling in this dynamic since he was able to decipher between lies made to distract other detectives versus lies that lead to the truth. It was truly a tale of love gone wrong with a stroke of vengeance weaving it all together.

Poirot is one of Christie’s most dynamic characters and definitely represents her prowess as a novelist. His capability to solve cases that twist in every direction while filtering out the motives and methods of the culprits is a true literary feat.

The more I delve into the mysterious world Christie creates in each of her novels, the more I become entranced by her prose and talent that leaves me constantly trying to uncover the culprit.

Agatha Christie’s work has remained a timeless classic on the shelves and continuously engages her readers with her knack for dynamic characters and suspenseful narratives of betrayal and deceit.

Persaud’s first Agatha Christie was the widely popular, “And Then There Were None.”

THE QUADRANGLE

Kaitlyn Hogan’s Tragedy to Triumph

Christina Katsamouri Contributor

Kaitlyn Hogan was sitting in class at Monroe Woodbury High School when she received a text from her upcoming soccer coach at Loyola University.

It read, “We need to talk.”

“I said to myself, ‘This isn’t good’,” Hogan said.

Hogan soon found out the school was rescinding the athletic scholarship offer she had earned with no explanation, just months before she left for college.

Hogan, now a midfielder for Manhattan College, played soccer her whole life and always had hopes of earning a scholarship to play for a great school.

Her dream came true just to have it taken away without giving a reason. Under the impression of the scholarship, Hogan had only applied to Loyola University.

“I thought, maybe I am not supposed to play soccer, maybe this is not meant to be for me,” said Hogan. “I did think it was over.”

But Hogan didn’t stay down.

Within a few days she was searching for a new school to play for, one that would see all she had to offer as a player.

“A few days later my mom was like ‘Alright let’s do this’.

We are gonna find you a place to go and play soccer,” said Hogan.

She started applying to other colleges, writing to coaches,

narrating her situation. Hogan was an All-American soccer player in her hometown Monroe, NY. Her local newspaper even published a feature on Hogan with the title, “Future D1 Athlete Looking for Someplace to Go.” That was all Manhattan College coach Brendan Lawler needed to see.

Lawler, Manhattan College women’s soccer coach had read the newspaper and gave Hogan a call. They met up and he said he wanted her to go and play for him, and the rest was history. For Lawler, Hogan was an outstanding player and was needed on his team. He grabbed his chance, and Hogan committed for the Fall of 2018.

“She was always a great player. She saw the game very well. She is not a loud player, she just plays her best.” Lawler said.

These are just a few of Hogan’s attributes that made him want her to play for the Jaspers.

Hogan started her college career as a Jasper at Manhattan College. The freshman recruit class that came in with Hogan wasn’t big, creating a lot of competition from more seasoned players. For Hogan that was a challenge.

“I knew I had the skills to be on the field, however, the girl that was playing on my spot was a senior and a captain. So that was pretty challenging for me,” said Hogan.

Hogan was able to get her time throughout the season even though she had a senior

to go against. While she didn’t see it as a competition, she knew she had to work even harder to get on the game.

Freshman year went on with a few minutes on the field, going into her sophomore year, the senior captain in front of her was gone and that was her time to play and shine. She earned her minutes and she made her coach not want to get her off the field.

“Hogan was dominating the field and she earned her spot on the starting line up,” Lawler said.

He also noted he was always counting on her from that year on and she was feeling confident and ready to lead.

Athletic opportunities during junior year were taken away from her because of COVID, but they had a few games at the end of spring that she played and dominated in.

Following up to her senior year, Hogan became a captain and continued leading her team on the starting lineup.

“Senior year came and in one of my meetings with the coach he asked me what I think about captains,” said Hogan. “I said to him ‘I want to be a captain’. That was it for him, he wanted me to be a leader for my team.”

However the college journey wasn’t as smooth as it sounds. Hogan suffered many injuries throughout her time as a Jasper, such as during her freshman year when she developed a hip injury. The trainers

let her continue to play, saying that it wasn’t anything to worry about.

She pushed through her sophomore year. After getting an MRI she learned that she tore her labrum on her hip and that she would eventually need to have surgery.

“The pain was getting more intense and since I was playing more and more the pain was not going away,” said Hogan.

“I couldn’t do any more damage to my hip. I didn’t wanna give up my playing time, I was a starter so I kept playing. I played through my injury till the season was over.”

Hogan got surgery in January of her sophomore year, she recovered and used all her junior year to get back at it. Her junior year there wasn’t a season in the fall because of COVID and she took it to her advantage. Spring came with only seven games, which she played and started as well.

“I was still in so much pain because my hip was so damaged. My coach knew I was in pain and he would take me off the field. I did keep playing through it.”

Senior year started with another injury on her knee which kept her out for two weeks.

Hogan wasn’t done though.

After conversations with her doctors and the coaches they came to the conclusion that she couldn’t do any more damage to her body, she had only a few months left before college soccer is over and the only

Midfielder, Kaitlyn Hogan is a senior at Manhattan College.

GOJASPERS / COURTESY option for her was to play regardless of the pain. She minimized practices and her and her coach agreed on Hogan taking as much time as needed off practice in order to be able to play 90 minutes. That is the deal for her senior year.

“I can’t sit here and watch all these people doing what I love the most. I am strong enough to do this, I have a few months left to play so I wanna finish strong with my best recs on and I wanna win,” Hogan said.

Hogan felt she worked too hard to quit soccer because of an injury. She continues to be a leader despite the obstacles she’s had to overcome.

“I have something within me that says I love soccer. This is my passion and I don’t have much longer. My family loves coming to watch me play, I don’t want them to feel bad for me.”

Manhattan Puts an End to Losing Streak with Win Against Canisius Caroline McCarthy & Victor Franco Sports Editor & Staff Writer

Manhattan College rallied to end their four-game losing streak with a 3-1 win against Canisius on Wednesday.

With an almost complete starting roster turnover, the Jaspers have described this season as a time to focus on rebuilding the program. Returning Manhattan players faced the obstacle of playing with three entirely different teams in a six-month period — the 2020 team, summer league, and the now assembled 2021 roster.

“This is a completely fresh start for us,” said junior defender Liam Moore. “We’re playing a new formation compared to the spring and have a lot of new players coming in so it was really just like a rebirth of the Manhattan College soccer program.”

The team sported a 22-man roster in 2020 while the Fall has 32 players, 10 of which are new to Division One college soccer.

Their record currently holds 3 wins, 7 losses and 2 ties.

“The inconsistency is going

to happen sadly in this group because there are many new guys,” said head coach Jorden Scott after a 1-1 tie with Iona College.

Scott shares that traveling on the road tends to affect the team’s performance. Their three wins have been played on Manhattan’s home turf of Gaelic Park, where they have only lost twice.

“The toughest part of our schedule is then we go two weeks on the road,” Scott said.

With the last four games on the road, getting back to homefield advantage helped shape the win on Wednesday, giving the team the confidence needed going forward as they near the end of the MAAC tournament.

Goalkeeper Danny Dimarco shares that the team’s overall goal is to focus on their technical abilities and continue trusting one another to create a stronger team dynamic.

“I think our game plan is to minimize the amount of mistakes and to capitalize on opportunities that are given to come away with the most amount of goals and points per game,” said Dimarco. “We have grown and gelled together as a team creating a better environ-

ment for all of us, not only at training but in games so we can trust each other.“ The past four games have also dealt with disturbance in Manhattan’s starting lineup due to injury and suspension.

Key players like midfielder Lucas Cyriacus, defender Ronaldo Da Silva, defender Simon Busch had an influential return to play on Wednesday.

“I don’t think people understand how good of a player Ronaldo is,” said Scott.

Da Silva suffered a knee injury earlier this year and had to undergo surgery during the team’s preseason. Still, he is one of the most influential players in the match. His goal in the 58th minute of the game secured Manhattan’s 3-1 victory.

“The way we came on the field today was just different than any other game,” said Da Silva. “Coming back from an injury I got tired a little bit but I was compensating.”

Oswald Annang, the team’s leading scorer this season, scored in the 13th minute against Canisius off of an outside cross from senior Brandon Joseph-Buadi. The two dominate the attacking force of the team playing cohesively as an assisting and scoring unit.

“Three of the four guys up front have played together now for three years, so they know each other,” said Scott. “We can use them in a variety of ways.”

Joseph-Buadi was removed from the game at the beginning of the second half for receiving two yellow cards, which resulted in him receiving a red card.

By rule, a red card results in ejection so he will be sitting for the team’s upcoming match against St. Peter’s on Saturday.

Despite the loss of Joseph-Buadi for the upcoming game, players feel the win against Canisius has restored their confidence and will help

them succeed against St. Peter’s.

“Unfortunately [we] lost BJ [Joseph-Buadi] because he got a red card so next week we won’t be playing,” said Da Silva. “But besides that, they just gave us confidence for the next game. Just go and keep on just trying. We had a different mindset today.”

With the match against St. Peter’s being played on the Jaspers home field on Saturday at 12pm, hopefully, the mindset will follow and we can expect another home victory for men’s soccer.

MC Soccer ended their losing streak with a win against Canisius.

Mike Hennelly Named MAAC Runner of the Week Kyla Guilfoil Asst. News Editor

Senior Mike Hennelly was named MAAC Runner of the Week following a third-place finish at the Metropolitan Cross Country Championships hosted in Van Cortlandt Park.

Hennelly, an accounting major from Suffern, NY, comes from a family of runners. As a member of Manhattan College’s Men’s Cross Country, Indoor Track and Outdoor Track teams, he is headed to the MAAC Cross Country Championships on Oct. 30.

The Quadrangle: Can you tell me a little bit about your involvement with MC’s running teams?

Mike Hennelly: Yeah, I’m on the Cross Country and the

Track team, and I focus more on the distance side of things.

That means for indoor track I’m doing the 3K and 5K, and outdoors I’m doing the 5K and 10K. But cross country is my main season, that’s what I enjoy the most.

TQ: So you focus more on cross country then?

MH: Yeah, definitely. I feel like it’s really more of a team sport, that’s what you focus on more, at least here. And I really just enjoy running with the other guys and just enjoy that.

TQ: That’s great. How did you get into running?

MH: I got into running my freshman year of high school.

My brother was always a runner, he started running in middle school, and he actually went to Manhattan, too. He’s two years older than me. And my sister runs for Georgetown now, she’s two years younger than me. So my family’s basically been a running family for a while.

TQ: Wow, that’s incredible.

How does it look now for you as a member of the teams? What part of the season are you in?

MH: The way it works is we finish spring track in May, then take a couple of weeks off and then get right into training for Cross Country. To be able to run well for Cross Country you have to put the work in over the summer. So I’ll start running usually at the end of May, and I’ll start putting in 80, 85-mile weeks. Then we come to school, and basically from August to the beginning of No-

vember is when Cross Country is. We’re getting into the championship season now. Two weekends ago was our Met Championships, and we have the MAAC Championships in 10 days. So this is the most important time of the year.

TQ: Can you talk a little bit more about the championships that were a couple of weekends ago?

MH: That was the Metropolitan Championships, we had that at Van Cortlandt [Park].

The Met is with a lot of schools in the area, like Fordham, Columbia, Iona, St. Peters, Rutgers. So, it’s a little different.

We focus more on the MAAC Championships, but we won Mets, and that was pretty nice.

TQ: That’s awesome. And you were named Runner of the Week for your race at that meet, which is great, congratulations.

MH: Yeah, thank you very much, I appreciate it.

TQ: Of course. Were you expecting that award? What was your reaction?

MH: I wasn’t really expecting it, I didn’t really think of it at first, and then somebody actually sent it to me, and I was like, ‘Wow, this is actually really cool.’ I wasn’t expecting it, so it was cool to see that and see that some of the hard work is paying off.

TQ: Absolutely. And how do you feel about that race that you were awarded for? Was it successful for you?

MH: I was definitely happy with the place, the time wasn’t

great. But, the goal really was to go in there and win as a team, and we ended up doing that by I think 3 points, so I was really happy with that. I placed third overall, and I was running with my teammates Pelle [Nogueira] and Ryan [Tierney] for most of the race, which was nice, made it a little bit easier.

TQ: How has training progressed since August now that you’re in championship season?

MH: Usually in August and the earlier months of the season, we’re running a lot more miles than we are right now. We’re kind of at the point where we’re lowering the mileage just to make our legs feel a little bit better. Back in August and September, we’d be going three workouts a week, and now we’re kind of coming back on that as well. And we’re focusing more on speed and fine-tuning everything and making sure everything is feeling good leading up to the race.

But in August and September, we’re really just beating up on our legs and putting in work day after day, after day.

TQ: So what are your goals for the MAAC Championship this season?

MH: Really our goal is just to do as well as we can as a team. We placed fifth last year, my sophomore year we were third, which was kind of a surprise. I think we’re projected to get fifth or sixth this year, but we kind of want to prove everybody wrong, and just run as well as we can as a team. There

are a lot of teams out there that we think we can beat, so that’s really what we’re doing. Individually, I’d really like to place All-MAAC, which is top 15. But, hopefully, if we place well as a team that should come along with it.

TQ: As a senior, looking back are there any highlights that come to mind?

MH: I think just within my grade, we’ve had like nine or ten guys come in as freshmen, and we’ve all been able to come in and grow and just improve together over the years. And we’re best friends, a lot of us live with each other, so I think that’s something that I’m really gonna look back on, when it’s all done. And I’m really grateful for that, just to have such a strong group of guys that I’ve been able to grow with over the past three or four years. That’s been the highlight of it all, just knowing that I have that group of guys with me.

TQ: That’s awesome. What are you excited about in these coming weeks with your team?

MH: I just think that it wouldn’t have been possible without the guys on the team.

And I think that we’re getting ready to do something really special on the 30th down in Florida at the MAAC Championship, and even past that as we go into indoor and outdoor [track]. I think we’re going to be running really well, so I guess I’m just excited to see how it turns out.
