2 The Loquitur

Editorial: In  light  of  the  recent  blasts  at  Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Fukushima  nuclear  power  plant,  many  Americans  have  voiced  their  opinions  about  the  United  Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  own  nuclear  power  plants.

Nuclear  energy  provides  20  percent  of  the  United  Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  electricity  and  is  the  number  one  source  of  emission-­free  electric-­ ity.   The  issue  at  hand  is  whether  nuclear  energy  and  the  storage  of  that  nuclear  waste  is  worth  the  possibility  that  the  United  States  could  suffer  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  own  nu-­ clear  disaster.

The  fact  of  the  matter  is  that  the  United  States  has  already  suffered  an  accident  at  Three  Mile  Island  in  1979.   Although  there  were  no  deaths  or  injuries  that  resulted  from  the  accident,  the  event  led  to  great  reform  within  the  areas  of  nuclear  power  plant  operations  in  order  to  prevent  and  inform  engineers  and  the  public  in  case  another  accident  occurred.

With  104  operating  nuclear  reactors,  35  boiling  water  reac-­ tors  and  69  pressurized  water  reactors,  31  states  in  America  have  active  reactors.   Vermont,  New  Jersey,  Connecticut  and  South  Carolina  each  had  over Â

Nuclear energy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand alone as unsafe US resource

50  percent  of  the  electricity  gen-­ erated  from  nuclear  power.   So  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  to  say  that  nuclear  power  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  work,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  dangerous.

But  then  again,  what  about Â

been  killed  in  accidents  over  the  past  century.   Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  to  count  how  many  have  died  from  dis-­ eases  such  as  pneumoconiosis,  also  known  as  black  lung.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  nothing  wrong  with  questioning  the  integrity  of  something  as  powerful  as  nucle-­ ar  energy  and  when  something  like  the  disaster  at  Fukushima  power  plant  occurs,  it  is  neces-­ sary  to  question  the  stability  of  such  a  resource.

What  the  Loquitur  believes  should  be  done  is  not  to  belit-­ tle  nuclear  energy  and  dismiss  its  unlimited  supply  of  energy,  rather  events  like  the  Fuku-­ shima  power  plant  explosion  should  bring  about  discussion  of  alternative  resources  that  will  one  day  overhaul  the  oil  indus-­ try.

With  only  50  years  left  on  the  oil  supply  timeline,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  to  begin  relying  on  geothermal  energy,  wind  and  tidal  energy,  solar  and  even  biomass  energy,  which  takes  corn  and  wheat  and  converts  it  into  fuel  for  our  cars  and  homes.

Americans  have  the  freedom  B8I Three  Mile  Island  in  Middletown,  Pa.,  scours  the  skyline  across  to  discuss  matters  like  this  in  an  the  Susquehanna  River  facing  at  the  town  of  Goldsboro. open  forum  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  important  to  see  all  sides  on  the  issue.   But  all  the  coal  miners  that  have  What  about  the  oil  and  drill-­ we  must  not  argue  in  a  purely  lost  their  lives  to  cave-­ins  or  ex-­ ing  rig  accidents  that  have  present  state  of  mind.   When  plosions  from  hazardous  gases  claimed  other  lives  of  workers  planning  for  the  future,  be  wary  within  the  mines?   In  America  and  destroyed  marine  and  coast-­ of  the  past  or  else  it  is  doomed  alone,  over  100,000  miners  have  al  life? to  repeat  itself.

Lack of understanding for DREAM act Each  year,  Maria  Marroquin  and  others  like  her  receieve  their  high  school  diplomas.  They  dream  of  future  careers  as  teachers,  nurses,  doctors,  lawyers,  policemen  or  hope  to  enter  the  military.  However,  they  are  un-­ able  to  achieve  their  American  dream  be-­ cause  they  lack  a  nine-­digit  social  security  number.

As  Martin  Luther  King  Jr.  once  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;in-­ justice  anywhere  is  a  threat  to  justice  every-­ where.â&#x20AC;?  It  is  an  injustice  to  keep  people  like  Marroquin,  who  hopes  to  become  a  lawyer  and  earned  a  3.98  GPA  at  Montgomery  County  Community  College,  from  pursuing  the  American  dream.

On  Saturday,  March  19,  Cabrini  students  stood  in  solidarity  alongside  undocumented  youth  who  revealed  their  status  at  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Un-­ documented  and  Unafraidâ&#x20AC;?  rally  held  at  In-­ dependence  Hall  in  Philadelphia.

This  same  group  of  people  is  often  clas-­ VL¿HG DV LOOHJDO LPPLJUDQWV The  Loquitur  would  like  to  clarify  that  QR KXPDQ EHLQJ LV GH¿QHG E\ OHJDOLW\ :H DUH GH¿QHG E\ RXU VXFFHVV DQG WKDW LV ZKDW these  people  are  trying  to  accomplish.  We  invite  the  campus  community  to  hear  us  out.

The  parents  of  these  undocumented  youth  came  to  America  for  a  multitude  of  reasons.  Some  came  to  free  themselves  from  the  oppression  of  the  Soviet  Union.  Others  came  to  escape  the  extreme  poverty Â

in  Latin  America.  But  they  all  came  to  con-­ tribute  to  America  and  provide  a  better  life  for  their  children.

However,  their  children  now  face  a  road-­ block.

Due  to  their  undocumented  status,  they  are  forced  to  enter  local  community  col-­ leges  as  international  students  and  pay  three  times  the  normal  tuition  fees  out  of  pocket.  This  policy  puts  public  and  private  universi-­ WLHV RXW RI WKHLU UHDFK ¿QDQFLDOO\ Cabrini  students  have  had  a  unique  op-­ portunity  to  engage  in  a  civil  rights  move-­ ment  to  ensure  that  these  students,  some  of  whom  have  been  here  as  long  as  native  born  $PHULFDQV DUH DEOH WR IXO¿OO ZKDW LW LV WKHLU families  came  here  for.

The  Loquitur  is  inspired  by  the  DREAM  Activists  and  their  Cabrini  allies.  The  will-­ ingness  of  these  advocates  for  social  justice  embodies  the  mission  of  the  college  and  St.  Frances  Cabrini,  patron  saint  of  all  immi-­ grants.

The  Loquitur  believes  that  the  entire  campus  community  should  put  aside  the  stigmas  they  hold  against  those  â&#x20AC;&#x153;without  pa-­ pers.â&#x20AC;?  Educate  yourselves  on  the  true  stories  of  the  people  who  come  to  America  without  proper  documentation.  Before  we  accuse  those  who  are  undocumented  to  get  in  the  back  of  the  line,  realize  that  this  line  we  speak  of  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  exist  in  many  situations.

This  is  the  civil  rights  movement  of  our  generation.  These  people  are  not  criminals.  They  are  not  deviants.  They  are  Americans  through  and  through.

The  DREAM  Act,  a  piece  of  legislation  that  offers  a  pathway  to  citizenship  for  un-­ documented  youth,  would  offer  the  oppor-­ tunity  to  receive  an  education  and  pursue  the  American  dream.  They  could  then  obtain  a  two-­year  col-­ lege  degree  or  complete  two-­years  of  mili-­ tary  service.  From  there,  they  can  proceed  to  apply  for  naturalization.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  estimated  that  the  DREAM  Act  would  affect  between  1.3  to  2.1  million  people.

This  piece  of  legislation  is  not  amnesty.  It  simply  provides  them  an  equal  opportu-­ nity.

On  Dec.  18,  2010  the  DREAM  Act  IDLOHG WR SDVV WKH 6HQDWH E\ ¿YH YRWHV <HW the  American  dream  is  far  from  dead  in  their  hearts  and  minds.  Just  as  the  DREAM  Activists  are  undocumented,  unafraid  and  unapologetic,  the  Loquitur  is  unafraid  and  unapologetic  in  support  of  these  courageous  individuals.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT THE  LOQUITUR:  YOU  SPEAK,  WE  LISTEN. The  Loquitur  is  Cabrini  Col-­ legeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  weekly,  student-­produced  campus  newspaper.  It  is  the  voice  of  students,  staff,  faculty,  alumni  and  many  others  outside  the  Cabrini  community.

The  Loquitur  has  earned  its  posi-­ tion  by  advocating  for  self  expres-­ sion  through  freedom  of  speech  and  by  serving  as  an  outlet  for  readers  to  affect  change  on  campus  and  off.

Cell phones replace wallet at restaurant

The Loquitur 3

DREAM Activists march in Philly DREAM,  page  1

By Danielle McLaughlin A&E Editor Imagine  going  out  to  dinner  and  only  bringing  your  cell  phone,  no  wallet  necessary.   In  this  modern-­ age  of  technology,  a  very  tradition-­ al  task  is  about  to  get  a  contempo-­ rary  makeover.

A  company  by  the  name  of  XI-­ PWIRE  has  created  a  technology  that  will  allow  restaurant  goers  the  opportunity  to  pay  the  bill  through  their  cell  phone.   No  wallet  is  need-­ ed  and  no  more  digging  for  change.

Anyone  who  knows  how  to  use  a  computer  can  use  XIPWIRE.   Simply  by  logging  on,  creating  an  account  and  linking  it  to  a  bank  ac-­ count  already  in  use,  a  XIPWIRE  account  is  then  created.

The  difference  between  a  regu-­ lar  bank  account  and  a  XIPWIRE  account  is  that  friends  can  transfer  money  into  a  XIPWIRE  account  by  texting  the  desired  amount  of  money  to  transfer.

According  to  Sibyl  Lindsay,  co-­founder  of  XIPWIRE,  the  way  XIPWIRE  works  is  when  the  bill  comes,  everyone  that  has  an  XIP-­ WIRE  account  at  the  table  should  designate  one  person  to  send  the  text  message  that  will  pay  the  bill.   The  bill  can  be  split  in  how-­ ever  many  ways  needed.   The  other  people  at  the  table  will  transfer  their  portion  of  the  bill  to  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;des-­ ignated  payerâ&#x20AC;?  who  will  take  the  money  transferred  and  use  it  to  pay  the  bill.   The  tip  can  also  be  trans-­ ferred  via  text  message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tipping  works  the  same  way  a  credit  card  tip  works,  in  that  it  gets  logged  into  our  system  and  the  tip  gets  applied  to  paychecks,â&#x20AC;?  Ashley  Primis,  STARR  Restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  direc-­ tor  of  special  projects,  said.

XIPWIRE  is  also  available  as  an  iPhone  application  and  will  soon  be  available  on  Android  phones  as  well.

Each  individual  XIPWIRE  ac-­ count  allows  the  account  holder  the  DELOLW\ WR KDYH XS WR ÂżYH ;,3:,5( wallets.   This  means  one  wallet  can  be  designated  to  pay  the  bills  and  one  wallet  can  be  used  to  pay  tu-­ ition. ;,3:,5( PDGH LWV ÂżUVW DSSHDU-­ ance  last  spring  at  the  Rittenhouse  Row  Spring  Festival.   Since  then,  two  restaurants  have  put  the  tech-­ QRORJ\ WR XVH 7KH ÂżUVW UHVWDXUDQW â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pod,â&#x20AC;?  located  in  Philadelphia  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zahav,â&#x20AC;?  also  located  in  Philadel-­ phia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  (Pod)  been  using  it  (XI-­ PWIRE)  for  about  four  months.  We  hope  to  unveil  it  to  some  of  our  other  restaurants  within  the  next  year,â&#x20AC;?  Primis  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  always  looking  to  ex-­ plore  new  opportunities  in  terms  of  technology,â&#x20AC;?  STARR  Restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  director  of  special  projects,  Pri-­ mis,  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;XIPWIRE  approached  XV DQG LW IHOW OLNH LW ZDV D JUHDW ÂżW Some  of  our  restaurants  have  a  younger,  tech-­savvy  customer  base  and  felt  that  it  would  be  a  service  they  might  want  to  use.â&#x20AC;?

The Problem

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Problems  to  access  education  for  girls  in  the  Middle  East  and  Africa  involve  cultural  beliefs,  early  marriage,  the  need  to  provide  for  younger  siblings,  secu-­ rity,  natural  disasters  and  displacement,â&#x20AC;?  Jen  Hardy,  new  media  communica-­ tions  officer  for  Catholic  Relief  Services,  said.   Â

  Â

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  really  is  something  about  women  being  in  control,â&#x20AC;?    Natalie  Greenwood,  deputy  manager  at  Microfinance  Gateway,  said.

The Millennium Development Goals      1.  The  Millennium  Development  Goals  (MDGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s)  aim  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;promote  gender  equality  and  empower  women,  reduce  child  mortality  rates  and  improve  maternal  health.â&#x20AC;?  These  goals  could  be  met  if  women  were  able  to  receive  an  education  and  learn  about  the  risks  of  unprotected  sex,  diseases  transmitted  and  business  tactics.

Many  individuals  who  are  unaware of  the  struggles  that  women  face  in third  world  countries  might  assume  that  they  are  being  treated  with  as  much  reverence  as  they  deserve.  Unfortunately,  women  are  used  as  objects  of  torture:  they  are  raped,  abused  and  ignored.

2.  Education  for  girls  and  young  women  is  the  key  to  empowering  women  and  ending  poverty.  By  gaining  an  education,  women  would  learn  the  fundamentals  to  become  self-­sufficient  and  would  no  longer  have  to  rely  on  men.   Studies  show  that  women  who  are  edu-­ cated  about  the  use  of  use  birth  control  have  smaller  families  as  a  result.   By  having  smaller  families,  women  would  have  fewer  chil-­ dren  to  provide  for  and  would  be  more  capable  of  raising  healthy  children.  Through  education,  women  in  such  countries  would  also  be  able  to  organize  small  businesses  and  save  money  through  micro-­finance.

3.  Savings  and  Internal  Lending  Programs  (SILC)  and  microfinance  are  two  ways  that  women  learn  to  balance  their  money.  According  to  the  CRS  website,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;SILC  is  a  holistic  programming  approach  in  support  of  IHD  that  provides  a  strategy  to  increase  low  household  income  by  providing  people,  primarily  women,  with  income-­generating  opportunities  through  access  to  self-­managed  savings-­led  financial  services.â&#x20AC;?

Lukewarm response to GSN from faculty, students Professors struggle to find connection between curriculum and GSN model

By Jimmy Crowell Asst. News Editor Catholic  Relief  Services  held  a  Global  Solidarity  Network  on  water  security  that  had  mixed  re-­ views  from  college  faculty  and  students  alike  who  took  part  in  the  two-­week  event.

Held  in  online  discussions  as  well  as  live  web  conference  sessions,  the  GSN  had  present-­ ers  representing  CRS  and  spoke  about  water  and  the  need  for  wa-­ ter  security  worldwide  while  stu-­ dents  and  faculty  could  interact  by  asking  questions  and  receiv-­ ing  answers  in  real  time  over  the  webcast.

Dr.  Eric  Malm,  assistant  eco-­ nomics  and  business  adminis-­ tration  professor,  said  his  en-­ vironmental  economics  class  approached  the  water  security  GSN  in  the  context  of  water  pol-­ lution  and  how  contaminated  wa-­ ter  can  endanger  water  security. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  a  broad  sense,  the  funda-­ mental  right  to  have  clean  drink-­ ing  water  was  the  focus  of  our  session  in  the  GSN,â&#x20AC;?  Malm  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water  security  is  a  domestic  is-­ sue  as  well  as  an  international  is-­ sue  that  I  am  glad  was  addressed.â&#x20AC;?

Malm  said  a  local  example  of  an  issue  of  water  security  would  be  the  drilling  for  natural  gas  in  the  Marcellus  Shale  and  how  it  can  have  an  impact  on  many  peo-­ pleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  access  to  clean  water.

Before  the  webcast,  Malm  said  he  posted  articles  for  his  stu-­ dents  to  read  and  review  about  the  GSN.   After  the  GSN,  he  said  his  class  delved  deeper  and  looked  at  a  recent  congressional  study  into  fracking  and  how  the  various  chemicals  used  can  cause  water Â

pollution,  tying  directly  to  the  is-­ sue  of  water  security.   Known  as  hydraulic  fracturing,  fracking  is  the  process  of  fracturing  rocks  in  the  pursuit  for  oil  and  natural  gas  by  drilling  into  rock  formations.

Dr.  Sharon  Schwarze,  profes-­ sor  and  chair  of  the  department  of  philosophy  and  liberal  studies,  said  that  she  and  her  global  ethics  class  were  disappointed  with  the  water  security  webcast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After  reviewing  the  avail-­ able  materials  that  were  online,  I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  see  much  that  I  could  do  with  it,â&#x20AC;?  Schwarze  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  see  much  controversy,  nor  did  I  see  any  issues  that  would  lend  themselves  to  a  whole  lot  of  class  discussion.   Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  for  ev-­ erybody  having  clean  water,  right?   I  mean,  whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  issue?â&#x20AC;?

Talking  with  other  faculty  who  also  took  part  in  the  water  GSN,  Schwarze  said  they  had  a  similar  reaction  to  the  material  presented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  materials  seemed  to  be  sort  of  an  ad  for  CRS  and  about  what  they  are  doing  in  terms  of  water  security  issues,â&#x20AC;?  Schwarze  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite  its  importance,  I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  what  to  teach.â&#x20AC;?

Schwarze  said  the  water  GSN  could  have  made  a  better  case  for  the  competing  needs  of  clean  drinking  water  in  Africa  compared  to  what  we  can  do  to  help  the  water  crisis  in  Africa  as  Americans,  although  she  believes  the  part  of  the  presentation  about  the  need  of  water  sanitation  was  worthwhile  in  teaching  her  class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making  students  aware  of  KRZ GLIÂżFXOW WKH VDQLWDWLRQ SURE-­ lem  is  in  Africa,â&#x20AC;?  Schwarze  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;To  teach  them  the  serious  con-­ sequences  of  shaking  hands  with  somebody  who  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  toi-­

let  paper.â&#x20AC;?

Admitting  she  would  not  be  physically  able  to,  Schwarze  con-­ fessed  she  would  of  liked  to  dem-­ onstrate  to  her  class  how  women  in  Africa  must  carry  jerrycans  on  their  head  full  of  water,  allowing  students  to  see  how  heavy  and  physically  demanding  of  a  task  it  is  for  someone  â&#x20AC;&#x153;to  get  that  vis-­ ceral  experience.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  believe  this  was  disappoint-­ ing  because  the  GSNs  work  the  best  when  there  is  some  contro-­ versy,â&#x20AC;?  Schwarze  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  food  security  GSN,  for  instance,  has  some  actual  controversy,  unlike  this  event.â&#x20AC;?

Schwarze  said  she  has  had  some  peripheral  knowledge  of  water  security  since  she  has  a  daughter  who  lives  in  Africa,  which  she  believes  allows  her  to  tell  relevant  stories  about  water-­ borne  illnesses  and  the  like  to  her  courses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  the  GSN  experience  is  mixed,â&#x20AC;?  Schwarze  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  think  students  really  put  a  lot  into  the  writings  and  responses  and  therefore  it  really  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  useful  in  setting  up  an  inter-­campus  dia-­ logue  on  relevant  GSN  topics.â&#x20AC;?

Opposite  this  GSN,  Schwarze  said  the  Israeli-­Palestinian  GSN  program  worked  really  well  due  to  the  passions  that  students  had  for  one  side  or  another  of  the  is-­ sues  that  were  presented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  a  way,  Catholic  Relief  Ser-­ vices  does  not  want  controversy,  yet  GSNs  often  only  work  when  there  is  controversy  present  in  the  topic  being  discussed,â&#x20AC;?  Schwarze  said.

Dr.  Mary  Harris,  chair  of  the  business  department  and  associ-­ ate  professor  of  economics  and Â

Harris  said  that  the  water  GSN  was  really  lacking  any  advocacy  or  purpose  to  do  something  for  the  water  crisis.   Although  this Â

ZDV LWV ÂżUVW \HDU WKH ZDWHU *61 seemed  to  not  go  over  too  well  with  the  faculty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For  me,  the  talk  seemed  a  lit-­ WOH Ă&#x20AC;DW ´ +DUULV VDLG Âł7KHUH ZDV no  passion,  no  debate,  no  contro-­ versy  that  usually  drives  discus-­ sion  in  other  GSNs.â&#x20AC;?

Harris  said  in  the  future,  she  will  continue  to  use  GSNs  in  her  classes,  citing  that  she  would  use  the  food  security  GSN  in  mid-­ March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  the  GSN  is  phenom-­ enal,â&#x20AC;?  Harris  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;More  college  faculty  should  use  it.   It  is  both  an  excellent  tool  to  teach  students  and  coincides  with  the  collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  social  justice  core  curriculum  of  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Justice  Matters.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;   I  am  a  strong  advocate  for  the  Global  Solidarity  Network.â&#x20AC;?

Greg Thoman, saxophone player, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I plan on playing with this group for as long as I can.

Scrabble is a board game that people have enjoyed for years. Since the age of technology and smartphones, web developers have made a handheld version of this game.

Words With Friends is an application that mimics scrabble, however the whole point is that you play with your friends.

If you enjoy getting addicted to games you will never want to put your phone down after you start playing this game.

Words With Friends allows you to connect with your facebook and twitter.

You can leave statuses and posts with your username so that your friends are compelled to add you.

At the start of the game you get seven letters. You build horizontally and vertically. Once you begin â&#x20AC;&#x153;stackingâ&#x20AC;? you need to make sure that each letter, both horizontally and vertially, makes sense. This is the biggest challenege of the whole game.

Another really great part of Words With Friends is the fact that you can create games with random people LI \RXU IULHQGV DUHQ¡W Ă&#x20AC;Qishing the games or if the games arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going as quick as you would like them to.

There is a lite version of the game which is free.

However, with the paid version there are no adds and \RX JHW SXVK QRWLĂ&#x20AC;FDWLRQV (like a text message).

The lite version also only lets a user play so many games before they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play anymore.

For the $2.99 Words With Friends is well worth your money.

You will play the game more than you think you will. An odd addiction settles when you start playing the game, and you will never sleep.

It is a unique way to socialize with your friends and it is also a really good way to extend your vocabulary.

It makes you think more than a regular video game.

Add a little green to your wardrobe (we are not just talking about the color)

By Sarah Luckert Asst. Managing Editor The clothing company H&M plans on debuting their new environmentally sustainable clothing line this upcoming spring. The collection is called Conscious Collection because the clothes are made from conscious materials such as organic cotton, organic linen, recycled polyester and Tencel.

The clothing line, designed for men, women and children, plans to include t-shirts, blazers, dresses, skirts, jeans and accessories. The collection is a part of an on-going corporate sustainability effort by the retailer. $FFRUGLQJ WR $QQ 6RĂ&#x20AC;H -RKDQVVRQ + 0 +HDG RI 'HVLJQ WKH LGHDV RI FRQVFLRXV FROlections are not only about using organic cotton but are more about â&#x20AC;&#x153;creating a complete fashion statement.â&#x20AC;?

Having an environmentally sustainable clothing line is not unusual for clothing retailers such as H&M. Other clothing retailers that have shown progress in a positive direction towards the green movement include Wal-Mart, Nike and Levi.

The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wear is inspired by an updated romantic style in which blouses, tunics and t-shirts with Broderie Anglaise are a key trend. Tiered dresses are perfect for the daytime while more dramatic Grecian gowns are great for the nightlife. Long floaty skirts are key, as are cut-off shorts.

Reality Check: Age Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Matter

By Liz Scopelliti Copy Editor â&#x20AC;&#x153;Age ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nothing but a number...â&#x20AC;? Yep, the wise words of our girl Aaliyah. We miss you honey. Your lyrics are so true. Age really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything but a number; at least in my reality.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a huge advocate of love.

I love passion, commitment, trust. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all magical. Now have I experienced this myself?

No. But I know people that have, a few that are in lifelong relationships. Some of these couples happen to have a sigQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQW DJH JDS EHWZHHQ WKHP too. Does that automatically mean that money is the source of the younger partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happiness? Actually, let me rephrase that. Does that mean that the young twenty-something females we see holding hands ZLWK WKH Ă&#x20AC;IW\ VRPHWKLQJ PDOHV suggest that they are gold diggers? (Side note: I say younger women because cougars are becoming more socially acceptable these days but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll touch on them momentarily).

Sure, Kanyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phrase does hold true: â&#x20AC;&#x153;She ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t messin with no broke, broke...â&#x20AC;?. But before we pass judgement, I say we get our facts straightHQHG RXW Ă&#x20AC;UVW 2EYLRXVO\ PRVW women fresh in their twenties and thirties typically avoid dating men jumping on the next train to Viagra valley. In a perfect world, we would all be in stable relationships with people close in age who could skip through meadows and drink a glass of Merlot without worrying if they were going to pull a muscle in their back or keel over from liver failure.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. And you know what? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m WRWDOO\ Ă&#x20AC;QH ZLWK LW ,Q IDFW WR EH quite honest, I love older men.

Maturity, life experience and security are so unbelievably sexy. Yes, I still like muscular DUPV D JUHDW VPLOH DQG D Ă&#x20AC;UP chest, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to limit myself to men only in their twenties because I believe that men older than thirty do not have the qualities Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for.

Cougars are all the rage down in the OC, so for all you middle-aged women out their, why not approach a younger man and ask him to rock your boat? (Yes, an Aaliyah pun. I had to throw that in there).

Before you judge the next time you see Kelsey Grammar and Kayte Walsh waving to the paparazzi, think about something other than their ages.

They obviously see something in each other...I guess youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll QHYHU Ă&#x20AC;QG RXW

Brand yourself: blog like crazy

come out on top

By Liz Scopelliti Copy Editor If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a communication major at Cabrini, you are well aware that our professors urge (and often require) us to use twitter, facebook and blogging as a way to connect with people throughout the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communication is keyâ&#x20AC;? has been a phrase imprinted into our minds, regardless if we actually take the time out of our hectic lives to make it a priority.

Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with one of the most fabulous and social media-driven personalities in the business, Loren Ridinger. She gave out extremely valuable advice that I think is benHĂ&#x20AC;FLDO IRU HYHU\ SHUVRQ WR NQRZ so below I have listed some of her useful tips:

How to brand yourself: Ridinger spoke about how important word-of-mouth communication is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Word of mouth, I believe, is still today the best way to advertise.â&#x20AC;?

Follow Her: @lorenridinger lorensworld.com/ myfashioncents.com

We all have the opportunity to build our potential empires without spending a lot of money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can build a brand or build a company without spending millions of dollars. How? Through social media. Anybody whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anybody that is successful has made social media a huge part of their branding and their marketing technique.â&#x20AC;?

Ridinger explained that advertisers are using social media outlets, such as twitter and facebook, to promote their products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use these tools to promote your brand.â&#x20AC;?

Make blogs more personal.

It will attract more readers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use it as a form of a diary rather than a strategically planned way of reaching people.

Why? Because people always want to know what your thoughts are. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking and

writing to yourself, people naturally become interested.â&#x20AC;?

Make sure to ask questions to your audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask people for their input.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become more willing to check out your blog.â&#x20AC;?

Have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;social media calendar.â&#x20AC;? This basically means that each day of the week, you should be blogging about something different but keep the pattern. Example: if you were to keep a food blog, make Monday the day that you talk about a new great restaurant, Tuesday when you talk about D GHOLFLRXV UHFLSH HWF -XVW PDNH sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new restaurant/recipe every week.

Balance your priorities: take time out for everything and everyone!

As college students, we obviously need to make connections and work as hard as we can to succeed once we graduate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

LPSHUDWLYH WKDW ZH Ă&#x20AC;QG RXU QLWFK and we need to stick with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something that you love, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind putting yourself last because your work becomes more of your play.

But you also realize things that are important in life, besides work, need attention too. Like anything you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give time to, it can fall apart.â&#x20AC;?

No matter the trials and tribulations we are faced with, we should all know that we are capable of handling them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told myself that the grass would never be greener on the other side. I would always be exchanging one set of problems for the other. Whatever my problems were in this lifetime, I would learn to deal with them.â&#x20AC;?

The moral of this story: Whatever you work hard on and put your mind to, you will ultimately succeed.
