Alvernia’s Journey to CollegeTowne Mackenzie Coombs Managing Editor Alvernia expanded their presence into Reading at 401 Penn Street in June 2020. The former CNA building is now the home of Alvernia’s new academic programs and other extra-curricular activities. By moving their presence into downtown Reading, Alvernia hopes to help revitalize Reading and change the narrative around the city. The initiative took its first steps last year, in hopes to expand the educational and service values that the Bernadine Franciscan Sisters were founded upon. In an article provided by the university’s website, the associate provost, vice president and chief operating officer for the O’Pake Institute, Dr. Rodney Ridley said, “We want to focus on developing student-centered entrepreneurial services in our new downtown space that will bring life to innovative ideas in an effort to create new ventures for downtown Reading. Through student-centered entrepreneurial services, partnerships with the local

community and associated resources, we will enhance the local entrepreneurial ecosystem by adding new and unique activities to help increase the success rate of businesses, especially at the beginning stages.” So far, things have been looking good as students have moved in for the semester. Within the year, the school got to work and made CollegeTowne an option for students to move into for the fall semester. Many were excited about the Starbucks that will be located on the first floor, the gym, BCTV, and more. But with shortages plaguing the U.S., the construction progress has been taking longer than expected — and that’s no one’s fault. Every day, CollegeTowne is being transformed into probably one of the greatest constructions that Alvernia has seen in a long while. As a result, Alvernia students must once more mind the dust as construction continues at CollegeTowne every day. The Starbucks still isn’t finished, classrooms are still being put together, and every day, there’s something

new being done. But at least the rooms are nice, right? Many students are reminded of the construction of the Plex when walking into the building, but they’re more than happy to mind the way of the workers and are very excited to see what the building will be like when it’s completed. The best way to understand the reality of CollegeTowne is to talk to the students who live there. Hannah Ververs, a senior OT major, said, “This building has a lot of potential. Also, I believe that it’s beneficial to the Reading Community to move Alvernia into Reading because it’s gaining more prospective students that didn’t know Alvernia University could be the school for them. Many upperclassmen live in CollegeTowne this semester. With her busy schedule, Macy Smith had a few things to say about the building. Smith said, “The building has the potential to be great. However, I think they offered this building to students a semester too early.” Smith felt that they were promised things that

weren’t going to be operable when she moved in. In fact, the building wasn’t even ready when she moved in early for being an athlete. As frustrating as that was, Smith’s experiences here at CollegeTowne have been good for the most part. A lot of her friends live in the building, so it’s convenient for her to see them here rather than going back to campus every time she wants to see them. Smith has made a lot of memories in her short time living here and believes that living here was one of the best decisions that she has ever made. The largest concern for parents moving in students to CollegeTowne was security. With public safety in the main lobby 24/7, parents and students were put at ease, and more now than ever since the safety boxes have been established outside of the building. Soon, the Reading Police Academy will be found in CollegeTowne and will be watching for suspicious activity around the clock. Knowing this, the students living at CollegeTowne feel more secure and more at home than ever before. As this is the first semester CollegeTowne is open, problems were bound to arise, and concerns were going to be addressed. Every day, the building is being finished little by little. As problems emerge, building management and the University work to put together plans and adapt to the unexpected quirks of working downtown. By the end of the construction of CollegeTowne, it will be one of the best accomplishments that Alvernia has made!

Students more familiar with Alvernia’s main campus might feel culture shock when they take classes at CollegeTowne. To help with the anxiety students may feel, here are some tips for staying safe in a city. These tips are great for entering any new area of uncertainty or places that are familiar. Tips for Safety Tip: Notice your surroundings (People around you and body language) When in a new area, it’s important to know who you are around. For this body language is key. Keep your eye out for expressions, movements, or actions that don’t feel right. If someone is making you feel uncomfortable, it’s better to back off and go somewhere else, ideally a more populated area. Keep track of where you are: If you need to make a quick exit, you want to know which way to go in the worstcase scenario. Somebody who looks nervous: Obvious nerves are a good tell of someone who might be getting ready to do something they shouldn’t. High energy: If someone looks unusually energetic in an inappropriate situation, this can also be a warning sign to back off. Common physical symptoms of adrenaline include dilated pupils, sweat, a pounding pulse on the neck and temples, or heavy breathing. If you think someone is visibly unwell, it may be a good idea to back off and inform Public Safety. Aggressive demeanor: Be mindful of anyone who seems to be upset, especially if the cause of their anger isn’t clear to you. Keep your distance. Staring: Eye contact to excess is sometimes a warning sign. A person may be mentally building themselves up to start a situation. If you feel an uncomfortable amount of eye contact, don’t reciprocate it. These tips are only guidelines. Some people’s body language can be misinterpreted. Remember that your own intuition is very important and can clarify what body language means to you.

Please Don’t Be Racist Racial and religious minorities are not inherently dangerous to others. Just because someone is different than you and your background doesn’t mean they mean you harm. Be human and humane per Alvernia’s core values. When you guess that someone will hurt you solely because of their race, it contributes to our society’s ongoing social problems. Another good spot for a student quote Tip: Know where you are going (Or pretend you do) Before going to your destination, plan and map out where you will be going and what path you will take. Don’t wander around unfamiliar places without an idea as to where you are going and why. If you do end up lost, “fake it til you make it.” If you seem to know where you are going you are less likely to be stopped by someone else. Walking with confidence is a huge factor in this. Be confident with who you are and where you are heading. Try to walk with a straight posture, no slouching, and try not to fidget. Tip: Sometimes it’s best not to engage Don’t feel obligated to talk to everyone that tries to communicate with you. If you feel uncomfortable, you do not need to do anything to make someone else happy or comfortable. If you feel safer this way, don’t make eye contact and avoid being near people when alone. You must determine your comfort levels for yourself. At the same time, you don’t have to operate as if you’re in hostile territory. Most people are fundamentally decent and want to be helpful. Tip: Only give if you feel comfortable There is a chance that you will either see a person in need or one may come to you. You may feel obligated to give this person money. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, do not do it. It makes some people uneasy, and some feel they can’t afford to give money away. That’s okay, and you should not be afraid to say no or walk away from the situation. Be courteous and respectful in any event. If you want to help someone but don’t want to give money, another option is to buy that person a meal. You can also

find local shelters or other places to volunteer for the needy. Tip: The Buddy System In general, it’s good to have friends. Being in a group makes it less likely to be bothered or harassed by someone. If you do not have a friend who is physically available to be with you, you can talk to someone on the phone or facetime. Being on the phone will turn others away because most street criminals rely on surprising people who are alone and can’t call for help. Don’t be afraid to ask a public safety officer to walk with you— they’re more than willing to make sure you’re safe and comfortable. You can also covertly tell the person you’re talking to on the phone where you are if you think you may be in danger. Even just pretending you are on the phone can protect you from danger. What Alvernia Can Do for You Public Safety: 610-796-8350 The Office of Public Safety is open 24/7 and has many resources that can be used by all the student body. Security at CollegeTowne There are security guards on CollegeTowne campus 24/7 to help students and faculty and to provide resources. These men and women are here to make us feel safe, so let them know

if you’re concerned about something happening outside and they will take care of it. Yellow Boxes on Campus These are made for emergencies that you can use to call the police or security. This gives all students the resources to call for help when they may not be able to in any other way.

Hurricane Ida: Flooding in Perkasie, Pa Perkasie businesses have also suffered from the storm. The Perkasie Dairy Queen was flooded with a few feet of water in their main lobby area. Behind that Dairy Queen was a brand new mini golf course that was washed away in the flood. Along that same road Janice Arnold lives on is the American Heritage FCU, which was also filled with a few feet of water. The bank is closed until further notice. Moving along closer to Janice’s side of Walnut Street is Free Will Brewing Company. The brewery’s basement flooded, trapping some employees there overnight. They lost beer that had been distilling for years, and all their equipment was lost to the flood. The Perk also suffered damage from the flood. The Perk is a town favorite, known for its great food and kind staff. The flooding inflicted thousands of dollars in damage, along with destroying product,

especially their beer kegs. The Perk also recently opened outdoor dining in their back lot area, which flooded out.

Janice Arnold of Perkasie suffered extensive property damage to her home from Hurricane Ida. Her home sits directly in front of one of the many creeks that run through Perkasie. “I was the last car they let over the bridge that night,” Arnold said. “If I would have left work seconds later, I probably wouldn’t have gotten to go home at all.” Luckily for Janice, she did make it home to her husband and dogMolly. Their basement filled with over five feet of water that night from the rapidly rising storm waters, causing them to lose both their washer and dryer and the water heater. The force of the flood waters tore part of the plumbing off the walls. Even after facing all that damage to their home, not to mention the loss of their fence, Arnold still remains thankful. Some of

her neighbors at the local Coverdbridge Apartments had lost everything. The residents of the first floor apartments had all their possessions destroyed. Arnold, like many in our community, is taking action to help people who suffered losses during the flood, even if it means offering someone her extra bedroom. “This flood has made me feel a part of a community,” Arnold said. “I know Perkasie is one, but I just have never really felt a part of something so strongly until I felt everyone step up and try and help me and others like me in need.” Perkasie is known to have flooding in big storms due to the big creeks and small ones that run through most of the town, but this flooding was some of the highest and most destructive water that Perkasie had ever seen. FEMA has declared all of Bucks County a disaster area after the storm.

Jared Montalto Contributing Editor What is BE TRUE? This acronym stands for Trendy, Revolutionary, Uplifting, and Empathetic. The BE TRUE brand was started by Alvernia senior, Tyzhir (Ty) Morris. BE TRUE was designed to spread positivity within the community and remind people that they do not have to converge into social norms to feel like they fit in. It encourages everyone to “be true” to themselves. Yet, this self-made brand started by accident in February 2021. “I spent the fall of 2020 running a surprise fundraiser for one of my professors’ nonprofit organizations,” Morris said. “I designed hoodies and tee shirts and sold them to peers on campus and individuals back home. My initial goal was to raise a couple of hundred dollars with the fundraiser but

before I knew it I surpassed my goal not even a week into selling clothing.” From being an exceptional student and helping a professor out, Morris started his own business. Once Morris saw how much others enjoyed his clothing and how much it meant to them, he knew he could keep recreating that feeling. Since BE TRUE had a great start-up, Morris knew what his future plans with his business were going to be. “The end goal for my business is to have a store in whatever area I decide to reside in,” he said. “Another goal of mine is to have a big-name celebrity or organization support my brand and its message. I’ve come close a few times so far, so I’m optimistic about what the future has in store.” As his business continues to grow, Morris has started considering possibilities for collaborations with other clothing brands.

Be TRUE: What Is T.R.U.E.?

“If I could collaborate with another person or brand it would be Sohappyco,” Morris said. “It is another small business located in Reading. Neeks (the founder) is a really genuine person who always has good energy. We have similar messages and it only makes sense for us to collaborate whenever the time is right.” Morris has been working hard on his brand and

has been promoting it as much as possible. He has supporters throughout the Alvernia community and back in his home state of Delaware. He has made t-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, hats, and even athletic gear. He continues to broaden his horizon by thinking outside the box with new designs and trying to perfect his craft. Morris wants people to know that more new product

is coming soon. “I’ll be having a big release in the next coming weeks, and hopefully the releases will only get bigger,” Morris said. “It’d mean a lot if readers could follow all of BE TRUE’s social media. And always remember to BE TRUE!” Instagram: be.true.apparel Twitter: betrueapparel Website: Betrue.store

“The car started, the engine roared to life; you hear the low rumble of a V8 engine and all you hear is the sound of tires screeching and the smell of burning rubber.” Careless driving? Not on a drag strip. Garrett Chowns related the story of the first time he went to a drag strip when he was 12 years old with his older brother. At that very moment Chowns knew he wanted to become a mechanic. I met Chowns in first grade at Skippack Elementary. Over the years we have gotten more close, almost as like the saying “brother from another mother”. After we graduated, I went off to college and he went to mechanic school. Then the texts slowly stopped going and coming because we both got busy. But, two months ago, I got a text from Chowns and he asked if I wanted to help him out on his project car. I instantly agreed. I didn’t know to expect, but I saw it was a Nissan 350z. For the unversed, the 350z is a sports car that the famous YouTube channel “Donut

Media” upgraded on their “High / Low” segment of the channel. I played at being a mechanic for a while, and then I had to go home. Later, I talked to Chowns about what it is like to work on cars. “When I was a kid, I worked on 454 big blocks and I also worked on my dad’s Camaro,” he said. Right away, Chowns knew he liked big fast cars. He was always around hot rods because his grand-dad had them. Making his love of cars into his profession seemed a natural move. Early in high school, Chowns went to a car meet and talked to a person from ATC (Automotive Training Center). He knew right away that this was his calling, and he constantly ended up at car meets ever since. Chowns is currently working on his friend’s 350z as a project car. The work that they are doing focuses on installing a supercharger along with bigger fuel injectors. For those who do not understand what a supercharger is, it is an air compressor that increases the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. This

gives each intake cycle of the engine more oxygen, letting it burn more fuel and do more work, hence increasing the power output and making the car go faster. “As of right now, the car makes around 306 horsepower,” Chown said, while showing me pictures of his work. “but with the upgraded engine and the supercharger strapped on I’m expecting to hit around 450 horses.” Chown is an example of someone pursuing their passion, no matter where it takes them. We both learned from a young age to try stuff out and see if we like it or not. I did that with college and what I want to do with my life, and Garrett is doing that for what he wants to do with his life. Don’t let your fears stand in the way of doing something great.

Texas Abortion Ban: Why America Is Mad.  In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled on the Roe v. Wade case, which declared abortion a constitutional right.  While Roe was supposed to be the last word on the matter, yet the abortion debate continues today.  Recently, Texas launched yet another challenge against Roe and made abortions after six weeks of pregnancy illegal. Several states have attempted similar moves in the past and did not succeed, but why is the six-week duration so problematic?  To clarify why people are outraged by this six-week abortion ban, it is crucial to understand how the pregnancy timeline works. A woman who is six weeks pregnant may not know she is pregnant at all. For that woman, it has been six weeks since the beginning of her last menstrual cycle, not six weeks since she had sex. The menstrual cycle is how a woman’s body prepares for conception and acts as the beginning of the pregnancy timeline. In other words, if a woman has sex on her ovulation week, and it results in conception, she is two weeks pregnant on that day. After this, it may take another ten days to two weeks for a pregnancy test to reveal a positive sign. At that point, the woman is four weeks pregnant.  Many women do not regularly test for pregnancy, and if they do test, it may show a negative even if they are pregnant. A woman will typically take a test if she misses her menstrual cycle, yet two factors may also affect this. First, many women do not get regular periods and would not be taken back if their cycle is two weeks late, putting them at six weeks pregnant, and they would have no clue and no chance to choose. The second factor is the fact that women can still bleed while they are pregnant, and this bleeding could be mistaken for a period. This means the woman would not even consider being pregnant for multiple more weeks until more symptoms begin. The complexity of human reproduction makes cutand-dry decisions about the

pregnancy timeline morally fraught. Putting a six-week ban on abortion greatly reduces, if not eliminates, the woman’s power to choose. This time limit can be very damaging. Consider this in terms of rape. If a person is raped, resulting in pregnancy, they may be forced to carry and give birth to their rapist’s child with no say in the situation whatsoever. If this is a child or teenager, the chances of them getting sick, hurt, or dying from giving birth are higher. If an individual provides an abortion to a woman past the six-week mark, any civilian who finds out about it can sue the provider of the abortion and win $10,000. Let’s consider this again in terms of rape. If a rapist discovers his victim received an abortion after the sixweek period, he may sue the provider and win $10,000. Supporters of the ban claim that this act is to protect and respect life. However, the strict time limit on abortion will only limit safe abortions, resulting in women who cannot handle the pregnancy or raise a child taking matters into their own hands and risk hurting themselves. Fundamentally, this ban takes away a woman’s constitutional right to bodily autonomy.  If a state wants to reduce the number of abortions performed within it, there are other options. One of the options is to make birth control more accessible. If this happened, fewer abortions would be needed. Another way is updating sexual education requirements to teach students better ways to protect themselves. An unpopular technique for reducing abortion is normalizing vasectomies in young men until they are ready to be parents. They are 100% reversible and 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. The reasoning behind these laws is understandable to many, but there are so many other reasonable solutions that are more morally acceptable. Respecting life is essential, but this means all life. This means the life of the woman who cannot handle the pregnancy, or that of the

young girl who is a victim of rape, or that of a woman who has a medically dangerous pregnancy.

Respecting life goes deeper than a fetus.

How to Transfer Courses From Community College (If You Absolutely Insist) Students ought to know the rules and regulations around transfer credits, when trying to get ahead in their education or looking to bypass a difficult class. Transfer credits allow you to take credits at another college that may be closer to home and have them count towards an undergraduate degree at your current university. They can be taken over breaks or even during a semester. With some extra effort and planning, students may be able to boost their GPA, get ahead in the semester, or get past a degree roadblock. At Alvernia, there is a simple process to go through to have credits transfer. First, you will have to apply to the college that you want to take transfer credits from. Community colleges will have a guest student option with a simple form to fill out. Then, you need to print out a description of the course you want to take. Most community colleges have an open section search, so you can peruse their course offerings without having to log on. Students should also try to find the syllabus for the course so that they can be sure the content of the course matches a course offered at Alvernia. After you have your course description, meet up with your advisor. They can help you get the transfer credit approval form that you will have to fill out. It requires the course code and title, the college you will be taking it at, and Alvernia’s course equivalent. Fill this out, then take it and the course description that you brought to your advisor to the corresponding department chair. Having the transfer course’s syllabus at this stage is essential if the course does not have an obvious one-to-one correspondence with an Alvernia course. Since the department chair must approve the course and confirm its equivalent, giving them everything you have right away will expedite their decision one way or the other. “Sometimes students forget that what we call English might be a communication course

This is the transfer credit approval form that needs to be signed by yourself, the Department Head, and your advisor before you can register for transfer classes. You can get one from your advisor. at other universities,” Dr. Ryan Lange, co-chair of the communication department, said. “English courses at Alvernia have to contain literature, whereas at other universities English might contain both literature and non-literature courses.” Dr. Lange encouraged students to review the syllabi of courses they want to transfer closely to be sure they are what they expect them to be. Once you have the signatures you need, head over to the Registrar’s Office. They will scan the course into your records and give you copies of the transfer credit approval form to present to the other college. Depending on which institution you apply to, you may have to complete a separate transfer form for their records as well. Some of these forms require a signature from the Registrar’s Office. At this point, you are all set on Alvernia’s end. Now you just need to get everything taken care of at the other institution. Most will require you to present those transfer forms before you can start registering for classes, even if you applied online before you started this process. If you live on campus, you

can send your transfer credit approval forms by mail or email, and they will register you and send you a student ID number. If you commute and you plan on going to RACC or another nearby school, you can take the forms to them in person. RACC’s Welcome Center is incredibly helpful and will walk you through the remaining steps to ensure that everything goes smoothly. The process is not that difficult, but there are still plenty of potential hiccups that could make your life difficult. One major tip is to start this process early. You do not have to wait for Alvernia’s semester registration to start looking for summer classes. Print out your course descriptions and meet with your advisor as soon as possible, otherwise you run the risk of having the class close before you get everything approved. General education classes like math and lab sciences tend to fill up quickly, especially if they are online. “I see these forms cluster up near the start and end of every semester, usually when I am busiest,” Dr. Lange said. “You would think they would appear around advising time, right? Nope. It’s always right at the start

and at the end of a semester.” Dr. Lange encourages students to carefully consider whether they want to take a general education class at a community college. “You could take these classes over the summer somewhere else,” he said. “You could even take these classes online. But did you come to Alvernia to get a generic degree, or did you come to Alvernia because something about this place spoke to you? Are you getting the distinctive Franciscan education that you are paying six figures for if you cut corners and transfer stuff in from RACC because you don’t ‘have time’ to take an English course during the normal semester?” “You certainly ‘have time’ for your major courses,” Dr. Lange continued. “Is your general education less important than your major? If so, why come to Alvernia at all? Are you paying for a nice residence hall room with a view of Mount Penn, or do you believe in the mission of our university?” The process to get transfer credits is simpler than it seems and may be worth all the paperwork in the end. Even if you only get a C in one of your classes, the course will transfer over, though it won’t affect your

GPA directly. With this walkthrough in one hand and a transfer form in the other, there’s nothing stopping you from getting started on those transfer classes today! “But seriously,” Dr. Lange said. “Please take your general education classes at Alvernia instead.”

If you insist on pursuing transfer credits, the time to talk about that with your advisor is during the run-up to preregistration for the spring semester.
