Letter to the Editor: A lesson learned, not false mysticism

BY SHARON SCHWARZE

MCT

Kayla Eland, 20, and Lindon Pronto, 21, pictured March 9, 2010, are not boyfriend and girlfriend, just friends that who happen to share the same room in a dorm at Holden Hall at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif.

Editorial: Cohabitation: the last frontier of gender-equal housing?

Colleges and universities across the country are constantly stressing the need for diversity, for the campus to become more diverse and for students to embrace diversity. However, when it comes to oncampus housing, students have no choice but to live with others who self-identify as the same gender. So a student can embrace diversity on campus but just not in their on-campus residence in the regards to gender.

Gender-neutral housing is not a new idea. Nearby Rutgers University adopted it last year and around a dozen schools throughout the country offer it including the University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, Oberlin College and Clark University. The Loquitur editorial staff thinks this is an option schools should consider, at least for upperclassmen housing.

This editorial is inspired by the fact that it is housing selection time here at Cabrini and it can be difficult, especially once an upperclassman, to decide whether to stay on campus or leave, especially if many of your friends have already moved off campus. If a student wants to stay and live in an on-campus apartment but most of their friends left on campus are the opposite gender, they are going to have to take the chance with random roommates just because they are the same gender instead of living with established friends. This can be a hassle for the resident as well as the Residence Life offices on campuses when it comes to finding new vacancies and assisting the student in moving. Also, if schools are concerned with building a community environment and keeping students on campus, this idea could help.

Obviously, there are many foreseeable conflicts with gender-neutral housing and it would need to be something that was optional and requested because assignments for incoming students would be problematic. In a really small, traditional

residence hall, space is limited and privacy would become a huge issue, which is why it seems unrealistic for underclassmen. Another major issue is that schools do not want to look like they approve and sponsor pre-marital sexual activity, especially religious institutions, which is completely understandable considering they do not want to anger parents. It is one thing to turn a blind eye to students’ sexual activity but to look like you sponsor it is another. Also, a major factor to take into consideration would be if couples chose to live together but then break-up and need to move out.

The thing to consider is that a lot of students who would want gender-neutral housing do not want it for sexual endeavors. Not everyone wants to have relations with their friend of the opposite gender and as far as couples breaking up, well, friends have fallouts too. Whether you are best friends or strangers, many housing assignments do not work out for whatever reason.

In this day and age where gender roles are becoming less and less defined, co-ed living situations could also be seen as an effort to accommodate homosexual and transgender students. While these students are still the minority, gender neutral housing could appeal to students in all walks of life.

The Loquitur editorial staff realizes this would be difficult to implement at Cabrini but suggests it could be something to think about for the future.

College is supposed to be training us for life and in our lives outside of campus, such as our home lives or if we live off campus with friends, the genders are constantly cohabiting. Even if students would like this opportunity purely to live with friends, it could also serve as a valuable learning experience. Once we graduate from college, when in life will we be co-existing with only one gender?

The Perspectives page in the Feb. 9 edition of the Loquitur reminded me of the time I invited a fortune teller to my Critical Thinking class. The point was, as the point should be with the tarot card readers, that fortune-telling is entertainment at best and pseudo science at worst. Our world is filled with pseudo science claims that purport to be scientific and truthful but are not based on evidence and often even go against common sense. Astrology is a prime example. The Bermuda Triangle is another. Bookstores have shelves of these kinds of books.

They sell well because they appeal to our love of mystery and they make their authors a lot of money.

My “fortune teller” was one of my good friends who dressed up in a scarf for a turban and long earrings. She had never told

a fortune in her life before. However, she found it very easy to follow the responses of the students as she made up stories that had them running out to call their friends.

The students were excited about the rosey futures she described and totally sucked in by her narratives. The next week I had my friend return to the class dressed in her normal weekday attire, tennis warmups and tennis shoes. She explained that she was just an ordinary housewife who had never told a fortune before. She had found the whole experience of being a fortune teller rather fun. The class was very chagrined that they had fallen for a hoax.

Lesson learned, I hope. And that is the point. As a teaching institution, we try to bring lessons to students in the classroom and outside the classroom and to make them fun and memorable.

In the Perspectives section of the Feb. 9 issue of The Loquitur, there was an article that presented an opinion on the Cardinal Newman controversy that stemmed from Psychic Night, an event that Cabrini’s CAP board held on Thursday, Jan. 19. After an article was published about the event in the Jan. 26 issue of The Loquitur, the Cardinal Newman Society posted derogatory comments about Cabrini College on their website.

Relaxation found through religion, relationships

BY BEATRICE MCQUISTON Asst. Perspectives Editor Campus Ministry and Healthy Monday came together on Monday, Feb. 13 in the Mansion dining room for an hour of relaxation and becoming one with God. The event, called “Spirituality and You,” aimed to help lower stress through God. Various people came together to discover ways they can reveal and connect to God in their daily lives. The event was hosted by Cabrini’s Campus Ministry staff.

According to their mission statement, the Office of Health and Wellness Education fosters a healthy living and learning environment for all members of the campus community by promoting an optimal and holistic wellbeing. This well-being can be achieved by emphasizing positive lifestyle choices and by balancing and taking responsibility for one’s health. This event was the first “Live and Learn” series this semester.

The atmosphere at the event was extremely welcoming and relaxing. The whole hour was focused on building relationships with self and then others.

It began by listening to the song “Look At The World” by John Rutter. This changed the mood in the room to calm and comfortable. Father Carl Janicki, director of Campus Ministry, talked first about the book of Genesis in the

Stephanie Salinis, campus minister, spoke at the “Spirituality and You” event in the Mansion Dining Room on Monday, Feb. 13.

Bible and how one’s relationship with self is really important.

“How is worrying affecting my soul and how is God bringing me stillness?” Sister Christine Marie Baltas, a Campus Ministry associate, said. It was focused on forgetting your worries and letting God take control.

“Think about today, not tomorrow,” Baltas said.

Stephanie Salinis, campus minister, gave everyone an activity to reflect on after the atmosphere was shifted to a relaxed

state. The activity required participants to cut out quotes and pictures in magazines that they find inspiring and then making a collage out of them.

“Gratitude, peace and joy are the way God communicates with us,” Salinis said. Salinis went on to say that it was about finding the quietness of your own heart. The participants took time to close their eyes and become aware of God’s presence.

“I am thrilled to have our first Live and Learn Series,” Chris

Hyson, director of health and wellness education, said. “The Ministry offers great information about less stress and connecting with God.” Everyone in the room gathered together to recite prayers that would inspire others to make a difference in this world and allow their voices to be heard.

“Gracious God, I ask you to plant a seed of stillness in my soul,” Janicki said, guiding the attendees in prayer at the conclusion of the meeting. “When

worry and anxiety scurry around my soul stealing my joy and dampening my faith, remind me to stop for just a moment so I can be brought into the space of quiet. Give me, each day, the desire and capacity to breathe in the wonder of air, to envision a still lake on a sinless dawn, to drop deep into the well of my own being and find there the peace of your presence. I ask this for the sake of your love.”

Republicans fueled to attack Obama as gas prices rise

Several Philadelphia elementary schools win their appeals

Rising gasoline prices may allow Republicans to call out President Obama on a faultering economic recovery as the United States continues into another general election cycle.

House Speaker John Boehner instructed his fellow Republicans to “embrace the gas-pump anger” that exists among their constituents as they return to their districts during the Presidents’ Day recess.

The price of oil has moved to more than $103 a barrel amid Iranian threats of oil disruption.

Congress plans to auction off public airwaves

New Jersey assembly passes gay marriage bill

Santorum says federal government has no place in education

Both houses of Congress agree to keep payroll tax cuts

Congress plans to use the sales of public television airwaves to create an expansion of wireless Internet systems.

Smartphones, iPads and other wireless devices should see a speed increase if the bill is passed. The effect will be felt particularly in major cities, as the concentration of people is greater there.

The New Jersey Assembly successfully passed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in the state of New Jersey on Friday, Feb. 17.

New Jersey is the third state to legalize same-sex marriage, after New York and Washington.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie vetoed the marriage bill on Saturday, Feb. 18 after pledging to do so.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said that President Obama’s agenda practiced a “phony theology” during a campaign trip in Ohio on Saturday, Feb. 18.

Santorum further commented on Obama’s stance on education, calling the idea of schools being run by federal or state governments “anachronistic.”

Congress members from both parties within the House of Representatives and Senate reached a tentative deal to preserve a payroll tax reduction that would increase the benefits of those unemployed on Tuesday, Feb. 14.

The agreement was scheduled to be subject to a vote on Friday, Feb. 17, prior to a one week recess for members of Congress.

In America, more individuals live alone

BY BRANDON DESIDERIO Asst. News Editor Dr. Eric Klinenberg, professor of sociology and communication at New York University, presented at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday, Feb. 17. Accompanied by the recent publication of his newest book, “Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone,” Klinenberg’s lecture examined the social habits and environments of those who he refers to as “singletons,” members of single-person households.

According to Klinenberg, the increase in living alone over the past 60 years is “the biggest modern social change that we’ve failed to name or identify.” He cites the largest demographic of singletons as middle-aged adults between the ages of 35 and 65, totaling about 16 million people in the United States.

“Today, about 50 percent of American adults are single,” Klinenberg said. “And 28 percent of all households are oneperson households.”

With this sharp increase in living alone, he says that the singletons’ subsequent rise in social isolation is something to be worried about, although the impact is, according to him, insignificant.

Citing “Alone Together” by Sherry Turkle, a technology and social specialist at MIT, Klinenberg says that the main argument in her book revolves around the concept of social media “turning us into loners and isolants who are fundamentally dissatisfied with the way our lives work.”

Countering this, however, Klinenberg states that “living alone is a social experience.”

Recent studies have shown that people who live alone are more likely to be social with neighbors and to volunteer at city organizations in comparison to

people who are married.

Klinenberg also drew attention to the older American singletons, claiming that they too are more likely to socialize with friends and neighbors than married Americans in their similar age range.

“Despite the relatively large amounts of time spent alone, they’re more connected than other people their age,” Klinenberg explained.

Klinenberg has come to see this sudden upheaval from the family household as a social experiment, an adaptation and a “way of being creative about what it means to live a life.”

“If you think about it, we have 200,000 years as a species of living together, collectively,” Klinenberg said. “And we have about, let’s say 50 or 60 years of experience living alone.”

One perspective he deemed worthy of taking on the matter was that of an economist.

From an economist’s perspective, Klinenberg says two main things are taken into consideration about those who live alone: first, their level of prosperity or income, since it costs more to live alone and secondly, the welfare state of the individual’s location, which he sees as providing a sense of security essential for anyone living alone.

capita and have more disposable income than people married and with children.”

What, then, is the actual point of living alone? Why are all of these people doing it?

The furthered urbanization of cities, Klinenberg says, is the main cause of this trend of living alone. He explains that cities give rise to “subcultures,”

allowing the individual to “express parts of [themselves] that could have been latent in [them] in a small town or rural area.”

Largely, he says, this increase is about individuality, freedom, personal control and self-realization.

As for how social media plays a role, he says that its presence within the hands of today’s “digital natives” can prove beneficial.

“As people have experiences earlier in life with things like Facebook and they get older themselves, they will have another set of tools for getting connected, which will change the experience of aging,” Klinenberg said.

Cabrini offers a wide range of study abroad opportunities for students each semester. This semester an International Science and Politics in Society class is being offered to both science and non-science majors. This is the second semester the course is being offered to students and the application deadline is Wednesday, Feb. 29.

The International Science and Politics in Society course aims to provide scientific knowledge and focuses on real world application skills geared towards at societal impact.

It is also targeting helping non-science majors connect science to their everyday life.

“Students interested in applying for this course must have a minimum of 2.5 GPA,” Dr. Shelby Hockenberry, assistant professor of history and political science, said in an email.

“Students must also have their math requirements completed.”

This course is structured in two parts. For part one of the course, students will be meeting twice a week to participate in discussions and laboratories. The classes will be structured with several reading assignments and frequent quizzes. Also, the laboratory notebooks will be collected and graded several times during the course of the semester.

The second part of the course involves a seven-day study abroad trip to Switzerland.

“The study abroad portion of the class was one of the best experiences of my life,” Jeff Young, junior political science major, said, “I really enjoyed Switzerland in particular. It is such a beautiful and clean country and everyone was so nice there. I strongly recommend anyone who needs a science class or can afford the cost of the trip to take this class.”

Students will have the opportunity to apply basic scientific knowledge they gain in the classroom setting and apply it to understand how science relates to international politics and society.

Classroom discussions include, but are not limited to, the chemistry and ethical issues behind certain drugs, global impact of soil pollution and other global and ethical issues.

During the study abroad portion of the class, students will have the opportunity to take part in museum tours, visit historical sites which are relevant to the course, lectures given by experts in the field and international organizations and academic institution visits.

“Students will be expected to focus on the relationship between what they have learned in the classroom environment on campus to what they experience on the trip,” Hockenberry said.

The 3-point shot

BY MARYKATE MCCANN

STAFF WRITER

As I got older and stronger, that three-point shot I couldn’t reach in grade school got easier and easier. For short people like myself, you aren’t always able to drive to the basket without getting the ball knocked into the stands by a girl who is 6’4. So, shooting the long range treys became my thing.

Making any type of long-range shot requires time, practice and confidence. Being a shooter grew on me and I took that to college.

One advantage the women have is playing with a 28.5 inch basketball. Compared to a mens basketball, it is smaller and lighter, clearly because we’re not all as strong as most males.

After shooting the threes from the 19foot line for six years of my life, they all of a sudden decide to move it back a whole foot?

Well, down goes my shooting percentage.

The funny part is, they didn’t even make a big deal about it. There was no warning or explanation to us players.

The Cabrini College women’s basketball team just received a forwarded email from our coach from the NCAA Women’s Basketball Rules Committee. Oh, okay, yeah, sure, why not? Let’s just make it even harder for everyone.

We didn’t discuss or talk about the change to each other. We just accepted the news and shot farther out.

I already use my whole body to shoot the ball. My range doesn’t extend far behind 20 feet.

The move is designed to give the women’s game more of a flow by extending defenses and opening up inside play. I wasn’t told that, I just had to Google it and figure out why the rules changed.

Many coaches and staff have noticed how players shoot behind the men’s threepoint line at times anyway, so why not do an experiment?

The NCAA experimented by asking 194 women’s teams to record shots taken from the standard three-point line from the men’s distance in scrimmages and other occasions.

When the results came back, the women received 33 percent from the men’s arc and 30 percent on their own line.

I am definitely not one of the girls whose shooting attempts increased. I prefer the long ranged two-pointer.

My original thought was that it was going to be a struggle to knock down shots but moving the line back created openings in the lane for our posts to get easy buckets.

I guess when it comes down to it, we are

just as good as the men and we should be able to shoot the 20-foot nine-inch three.

The NCAA has also approved adding an arc three feet from the basket, which in my opinion is the worst rule ever.

A defender cannot take a charge if they are standing in it. The no-charge zone extends three feet from the center of the basket, which is where most of us used to get our charges all last year.

Hearing the ref call a block instead of a charge because they were in the “no-charge zone” can’t be any more frustrating.

Women’s basketball games are at times slow and boring. The NCAA were looking for ways to spread the offense and pick up the tempo of the game.

The two lines were causing confusion anyway, I guess it isn’t that big of a deal after all.

Gender awareness on campus

BY LAUREN CICCARIELLO AMINA ERWIN LAUREN NICKEL GUEST WRITERS

Often in school, we find ourselves categorized into these cliques that are exclusive only to “the worthy”.

Within these cliques exists more cliques.

As students, you have the cool girls, the cool boys, the nerds, the rebels, etc. Some schools are spilt so there are either all girls or all boys.

These schools are where we come across gender discrimination. Some girls prefer to attend all girl institutions because they feel that boys are a distraction and are not as smart as girls anyway. Some boys attend all boys school because they feel this exact same way. This stems from notions already placed in their head by society.

Men and women are socialized at a young age as to what interests and occupations are appropriate according to their gender.

MCT

Females are typically discouraged for majoring in mathematics and science at their college or university. More women than men are receiving degrees in mathematics and science, but more women are being hired into college and university faculties.

But students aren’t the only ones who struggle with this constant gender separation. There has always been a struggle for men as elementary school teachers.

Statistics have always been low for men as teachers. Men have been looked at as disciplinary, tough figures. However, having men as teachers can be a positive for both young boys and girls.

Every person needs some kind of “fatherly” figure in their life. Some children might not have a father at home.

When a child comes to school, if they have a male teacher, they are able to have a reliable man that they can learn to trust. The negative side to this theory though, is that males are stereotyped as “aggressive” human beings and are not able to work with young child without looking down upon them.

No matter how men are looked at as teachers, if they seem “soft” or if they are the perfect role-models, at the end of the day it all comes down to the type of education the child is receiving.

Females also have difficulty when applying for jobs in professional or high power positions. When women do get hired, their wages are often lower than men’s pay.

Women in the same occupation as men will earn about 44 percent of what

a man makes throughout their entire career. Unfortunately there is no way to bridge this gap to find some equality.

It is by no fault of our own, just genetics and people who promote reasons for why the separation occurs.

Man versus woman will be the one battle throughout time that will never end. This battle doesn’t have to be this way, in our own way, men and women are able to do as much as they want.

Gender is just a minor detail. Anatomically, we are different but ability and the power to do whatever we want is a state of mind.

Bottom Left: Carn has been dancing since the age of 5 and takes headshots yearly for her portfolio.

Bottom Right: Carn and her dance team from high school perform a dance during the senior showcase.

Dancing to new heights

BY STAR SOLER Staff Writer When Cherise Carn, freshman secondary education major, was 3 she took tap dancing at her first dance school. At the age of 4, she attended a different dancing school, Philadanco, and has been dancing at there until she came to Cabrini.

Throughout her dance career she has learned many different styles of dancing such as tap, ballet, pointe, jazz and hip-hop.

Unlike most young girls, Carn wasn’t forced into a dance school by her parents. Her love for dancing developed so early that she herself decided she wanted to take classes.

Carn’s only complaint about dancing was that she and her two friends would get in trouble during classes.

“I used to go to dance school with my two best friends and we would always get in trouble, and that kind of took the fun out of it,” Carn said. “When they would tell us to do something, I would make jokes about it to make everyone laugh or I just wouldn’t pay attention.”

Although the dance school she attended didn’t have competitions, they had two shows yearly. In earlier years,

she had never danced on a team with any more than 10 people; during senior year of high school, her team had about 20 dancers.

“It was exciting to dance on a larger team because the structure of the dance changed,” Carn said.

She finds a balance between dance, her friends and her school work.

“If I could, I would dance all day, but I know I need to give focus to my schooling and spend time with my friends,” Carn said.

Carn has also made up a dance for the dance team at Cabrini, with the help from freshman Gina Avanzato.

“Cherise is really creative and fluent with her dancing and has alot of interesting cool moves,” Avanzato said.

The dance Carn and Avanzato choreographed will be performed at the men’s playoff basketball game later in the season.

“Cherise is a big asset to the dance team. Coming on as a freshman she brings a lot of great ideas to our dances,” Theresa Agro, dance team captain, said.

Dancing for Cabrini was a big change for Carn because she has been teammates with the same people since she attended dancing school at age 4.

“I think I enjoyed dance more before I came here. Not that I don’t like the dance team here because I do. But

before I came here I was used to dancing every day and here it’s not as serious and people are much calmer about it,” Carn said.

Carn’s mom was a big influence on her dancing and supported her in every showcase, performance or play she was in.

“Cherise was born with the God-given talent to dance and is a true leader and a confident and outgoing young woman,” Kimberly Carn Louis said.

When Cherise was in high school, she danced in “Once on this Island,” a musical about people of different skin tones. The role that Cherise played was one of a poor person that struggled in every day living.

“I have found in my many years of dancing that some choreographers make certain dances dependent on your race,” Carn said.

In the future, Cherise plans to find a job as a background dancer at concerts.

“I don’t want to make it my whole life but I definitely want to keep it in my life,” Carn said.

Making a difference through soccer BY: ROB RICHES Asst. Sports Editor For many college seniors in America and abroad, a main focus is securing a job after graduation day. But for King Saah, senior graphic design major, the focus lies elsewhere.

Saah would like to have an impact in the lives of children and youth soccer players in particular.

“My biggest goal is to make a difference,” Saah said.

Saah has been involved with the world’s game for a very long time and plans on continuing his involvement.

“I’ve been playing soccer for as long as I can remember,” Saah said. “Even before coming here from Africa at the age of 6.”

After coming to the United States, Saah maintained his fondness for soccer.

He attended soccer camps with the Lower Merion Soccer Club when he was young.

As Saah continued to grow older and continued to play, he associated himself with the Lower Merion Soccer Club, but in a different capacity. He worked as a volunteer at the Club with his coaches.

Volunteering with the Lower Merion Soccer Club helped Saah realize that he found enjoyment out of helping kids out with soccer and began working to create his own soccer clinic.

“I loved soccer and I loved to help people out,” Saah said.

“This would be a way to bring two of my passions together.”

After some time, Saah’s soccer clinic was open for business. A large amount of players participated in it, and as a result, business was booming.

“The first summer that I tried it, around 40 kids participated,” Saah said. “It was a lot more than I expected.”

However, Saah proved to be more than willing to take on the challenge and is looking to grow and expand even more.

This coming summer he is looking to work with a max of 65 young soccer players.

Saah’s clinics are free of charge for any child with an interest in the sport and he tries to help the campers out as much as possible.

“I try to teach soccer, work ethic, discipline and listening,” Saah said.

While the soccer clinics have their benefits, they have proven at times to be a difficult challenge for Saah. Running the clinics may not be an easy task for Saah but as the American educator Hamilton Holt once said, “nothing worthwhile comes easy.”

Many times, the children present challenges to Saah.

“One of the harder parts is trying to get the kids to do what you want them to do,” Saah said. “Most try to do whatever they want.”

It can be a different challenge everday, some of which can be expected to arise for a soccer clinic.

“I’ve had problems with a lot of financial issues, as well as water for the kids,” Saah said. “I’ve also had issues with picking kids up from their neighborhoods, as they live all around the area.”

While Saah has had his difficulties, he has also had some help along the way.

“My aunt has let me use her van to pick kids up sometimes,” Saah said. “And I also get help from [Cabrini senior] Steve Matthews, several former coaches on a one-day-aweek basis and Mr. and Mrs. [Edward and Angela] Rodriguez, who have been very generous.”

Saah’s soccer clinics are also a part of a long-term plan for the future.

“Right now, I’m applying to live in and teach soccer for one year in Africa,” Saah said. “I’m trying to work with Grassroot Soccer, which is focused on teaching soccer and preventing HIV. I’m looking forward to it.”

In a day and age where many people (such as former NBA player, Charles Barkley) don’t consider athletes to be role models, King Saah tries to break that mold, by mentoring one youth soccer player at a time.

“It’s my best way to give back to the community, and be a positive role model,” Saah said.

Hair expression: clipped and dyed

BY JESSICA JOHNSON-PETTY Asst. A&E Editor When it comes to hair, you must find a style that best fits you. Hair is a great thing to use to express yourself and show your true colors.

The crown of glory of sophomore criminal justice major, Ariel “Cali” Brown, is notable around campus.

With her head half-shaved and the other half low-cut dyed blonde, Brown dares to be exactly who she is.

The decision to cut her hair was an easy one.

“I was going through a phase in my life that I wanted to start over,” Brown said.

A website advertisement requesting 10 inches of donated hair to the Cancer Society marks her new beginning and confirmed her consideration.

“I just gave them half because I couldn't go through with the whole thing,” Brown said.

The hairstyle that Brown rocks is definitely a popular one. Celebrities like Cassie, Lala Vasquez, Carmen Electra and Willow Smith have rocked this hair style.

Having one side of her head shaved since October 2011, she has had multiple designs in her hair, but is currently settled on a blonde look, making her style unique to who she is.

“I decided to go blonde because I’m always doing something different and I have seen a lot of people with this hair style but I have never seen anyone dye just half of their hair,” Brown said.

One thing that remained the same as she started her new phase is her source of independence.

She decided to dye her hair on her own, attempting a dark brown color. The interesting thing is, the blonde was a mistake.

Her mother asked her if she wanted her to do it, but Brown wanted to dye her hair herself.

She is more than satisfied with the color of her hair and wears it with confidence.

“It’s not a permanent color, I just wanted to try it out,” Brown said. “College is the time to experiment with your hair; you’re not really into the real word yet.”

A lot of people may ask if the style, along with the color, is not very marketable when it comes to professional aspects. Brown argues against that.

“My job at Express accepts anybody, not on how they look but if they fit the personality of an Express employee,” Brown said. “They accept me for who I am. Even when I get designs, they are shocked.”

As far as cheering is concerned, Brown thought that her coach would not approve of the hairstyle because it was not “cheerleader appropriate.”

Initially, her coach was shocked. To Brown’s surprise, after her coach learned the reasoning behind the cut, she liked it because it was done for a good cause.

She lives her life for herself and hair does not define who she is.

“Hair does not change who you are, it compliments your style,” Brown said.

“Clybourne Park,” a play by Bruce Norris, is being performed at the Arden Theatre Company.

BY KRISTINE SEMPTIMPHELTER Staff Writer “Clybourne Park” is a story of a house, a neighborhood and the people who have come and gone for over five decades.

This bold comedy unearths that gentrification is not just black and white.

Arden Theatre Company’s main stage shows “Clybourne Park,” a play by Bruce Norris, winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for drama.

The first act creates a parallel story to the Younger family from Lorraine Hansberry’s play, “A Rasin in the Sun,” while act two imagines what later happens to their new home.

The story begins when Bev and Russ, played by Julian Gibson and Davis Ingram, decide to move from their home in the fictional, all-white Chicago neighborhood of Clybourne

Park. When the neighbors of Clybourne Park hear of their impending new neighbors, an African American family, Karl Lindner, played by Steve Pacek, pays them a small visit.

Karl is from the Clybourne Park Improvement Association.

He sends out an offer to buy out the house and to insist that Bev and Russ do not let blacks move into the neighborhood.

After some arguments and exchange of inappropriate words, the families never come to an agreement and Bev and Russ move on their way.

With intertwining comedy, the play challenges the preconceptions of characters from diverse backgrounds.

Each character plays multiple roles in the production, making complete reversals between the two acts.

In the second act, the story begins in the year 2009. The house is now being renovated and

completly under construction.

The two families get together to discuss the renovations and legal issues within the community.

After much argument and racial comments, the act ends in debate. Should whites move into the commnity and establish this huge, distasteful house in the middle of a black community?

Returning to the Arden for Clybourne Park are actors Ian Merrill Peakes, David Ingram, Steve Pacek and Maggie Lakis.

Making their Arden debuts are Julia Gibson, Erika Rose, Helen Hates and Josh Tower.

The creative team is tasked with creating the sought-after home are set designer James Kronzer, costume designer Joshua Schulman and sound designer Jorge Cousineau.

Preston Pugmire performs for students in Grace Hall and shares his personal story.

Vocal sensation impresses audience

BY LIA FERRANTE Asst. Features Editor For fun and entertainment, students experienced the amazing vocal stylings of Preston Pugmire, who displayed his musical talent on Monday, Feb. 13 in the Grace Hall Atrium from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

He was a breath of fresh air and lit up the stage with his guitar while his voice surrounded the room.

“He is a great performer and is very audience-friendly,” Peter Morrison, CAP Board vice president, said.

CAP Board discovered this singer when they were at a conference and immediately fell in love with him and his passion for music.

They brought him to Cabrini to allow students to sing along with his music and have a good night out. It was a night to remember and to hear some great music from a very talented singer.

Although the attendence was minimal, there was still a plethora of upbeat vibes around the room. Pugmire brought out a very calm and relaxed mood throughout his performance.

Pugmire constantly had a smile on his face and really enjoyed being up on stage. It

was just him and his guitar on stage. While performing, he would record different types of sounds with his recorder with just the tap of his foot.

He would make different sounds by using playing cards, bells and beat boxing. He would also record the chorus to his songs and play them back while he sang the lyrics for a better background effect.

It was great to see him become a oneman band all on his own. His sense of musical style was fun and easy-going. Pugmire’s music was easy to connect to and put anyone in the audience in a good and upbeat mood.

“He has great energy on stage and is fantastic for college students,” Angelica Graber, CAP Board Director of on stage entertainment, said. “I love that he incorporates stories into his songs about why he wrote them.”

Pugmire shared a lot of personal stories, which were fun to hear. He made his performance personable and animated, which, was interesting and creative.

Pugmire was a man who loved being in love. Many of his songs were love songs.

“I am a sucker for love songs,” Pugmire said.

He talked about one song that he wrote to his wife. He wrote the lyrics based on the feelings he had for her when they were

friends.

The song was beautifully done and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. He sang it to her one night and expressed his feelings for her through song to steal her heart. By Pugmire adding a story to the songs, it allowed the audience to understand his personality and his characteristics as an artist to a much fuller extent.

“I loved how he played his own original songs, as well as covers for popular songs,” Chelsea Prichett, elementary and special education major, said. He played a Jackson 5 song, familiar enough for everyone in the audience to enjoy and clap their hands to.

Throughout the night, Pugmire played variety of songs creating a good mix for all students and faculty in attendace. His ear for music is well put together and is a great gift to have.

He is greatly talented. This was a musician who knew exactly what he was doing and was good at it. He was a one-man band and even sometimes played acoustically.

Pugmire was a singer that no one should have missed.

In the world of music, there are several blogs devoted to finding the newest and edgiest tunes.

Oftentimes, the more offbeat an audiophile’s tastes are, the rougher the journey becomes.

Gorilla vs. Bear represents just one distinguished voice within the cyber-haystack of emerging and evolving music. A blog dedicated to providing its readers with “stuff selected by people with respectable eardrums,” Gorilla vs. Bear has been featured as the “Blog of the Year” for 2008 in the annual readers’ poll held

by URB Magazine and has even been described by Rolling Stone as one of the web’s “Best Music Blogs.”

As for what makes Gorilla vs.

Bear so dissimilar from the rest of the music blogosphere, the list isn’t painstakingly long. Among its succinct reviews and artist spotlights, the reader can see that the blog relies heavily upon aesthetics.

To some, Gorilla vs. Bear is best described as a “hipster blog.”

Its posts are accompanied by antique-like photographs of the featured artists, lots of embedded YouTube spots, and a simplistic hardwood background to contrast with the somewhat avant-garde graphics. Elements of the site layout are also comparable to microblogging sites like Tumblr and Pinterest.

The music that’s found on Gorilla vs. Bear isn’t easy to confine to one genre, let alone one aesthetic, however, ranging from lofi rock to something describable only as “psychedelic sexed-up sci-fi R&B,” it’s a silent guarantee that pretty much anyone could find likable tunes in the 6-yearold blog’s archives.

To get the best idea of what to expect on Gorilla vs. Bear, one doesn’t need to veer too far into the past - two options present themselves as less headacheinducing. The first option is to check out the site’s January 2012 playlist. Another option is to check out the “Best of 2011” songs.

Whichever is chosen, there’s no need to begrudgingly fawn over The Road Not Taken.

WEEKLY REVIEW

‘The Woman In Black’ captivates audience

BY KELSEY ALVINO Perspectives Editor In anticipation of Daniel Radcliffe’s first film after Harry Potter, the trailer for “The Woman In Black” was so underwhelming because the storyline seemed unoriginal and cliche.

A haunted house, scary noises and creepy shadows would describe multiple movies made. However, “The Woman In Black,” surprised me with its own originality.

The movie hits all the right scary notes without being cheesy.

“The Woman In Black,” director James Watkins gives us a new reason to wonder what goes bump in the night.

Based on the 1983 novel by Susan Hill, “The Woman In Black” gives audiences chills with its dark, mysterious plot line and heart-pounding special effects. This suspenseful thriller had the audience at the edge of their seats, watching the film through their fingers. Some reviews argue that the film is surprising rather than terrifying. But I believe both were equally portrayed in this film.

Radcliffe proves that there is life after “Harry Potter.”

His new movie has grossed over $20 million worldwide.

Radcliffe plays widower Arthur Kipps, a lawyer, constantly distraught by his wife’s death during childbirth.

His 5-year-old son, Joseph, is a constant reminder of his wife and what life was like before his loss. Kipps struggles every day to shake his emotional distraught of her loss and due to this, his work is suffering tremendously.

In his last effort to get his career back on track, he is sent to a secluded village outside of London to put a deceased client’s affairs in order. Although he senses an eerie vibe, his only goal is to revive his profession.

Upon arriving in the village, he is told by locals to return home, love his child and never return to the village.

Puzzled by their behavior, Kipps soon realizes the town’s deadly secret.

She is known as “the woman in black,” who hypnotizes children to their death.

No child is safe from her wrath and after Kipps sees her in the abandoned estate, two children die a gruesome death in the village.

Kipps, being blamed for the death, is destined to figure out the mystery of “the woman in black” and leave her in peace.

Altogether, I believe “The Woman In Black” is worth your money. It is a classic ghost story that uses little to no blood and gore, but still has the ability to make you feel

uneasy.

Casting of the film was perfect from the main character to the creepy village children. The acting was decent and no one seemed short of the ability to draw the audience in.

There is much debate over the controversial ending of the film. Some audiences and critics praise it for being perfect. However, some feel lost and confused as the credits begin to role. As a whole, the movie is worth your time and money. See for yourself and catch “The Woman In Black.”

‘Chronicle’ portrays test of friendship

BY LIA FERRENTE Asst. Features Editor The movie “Chronicle,” was a phenomenal story that everyone should see.

Directed by Josh Trank, “Chronicle” has an incredible cast of famous actors and actresses. Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell and Michael B. Jordan put on extraordinary performances for this must-see movie of the year.

The movie begins with three high school students coming across a hole in the ground. They don’t know what’s in it and don’t know what to expect to come out of it. After gaining superpowers and making an incredible discovery, they embark on a journey. The twist of the story is that their friendship is tested when their darker sides come out.

When going into the theater to see the movie, I had high expectations to see a lot of action and special effects.

The audience was anxious to enter the movie and let their imagination run wild.

The reviews on this movie were exciting and interesting. There were some people who loved the film, while others, not so much.

The actors and actresses that were involved in the film received high praise for their performances. Popcorn was flying in the theater and when the opening credits came on the screen, everyone was quiet with anticipaation.

Many of the scenes in this film were better than I would’ve ever thought. The movie became very intriguing because of sound effects. The sound effects added intense noise to the film and allowed the au-

dience to anticipate the next scene.

The special effects were also in high demand. They allowed the audience to actually feel as if they were there witnessing each scene. For example, when they were by the gigantic hole, they heard a highpitched sound that startled them. As a result of the noise their noses began to bleed.

Scenes were well thought out and very organized. I loved the idea of their superpowers becoming stronger as the movie progressed. A memorable scene was when they had the power to become strong and they started kicking and moving cars.

My favorite scene throughout the whole

movie was when they flew for the first time. This scene made me want to jump in the air and start flying myself. This scene made the audience want superpowers of their own and dream about if they really had them.

The director put a lot of thought into making these superpowers almost real for the audience to really enjoy and want for their own. I loved how vivid the sky was and how real all the special effects looked.

When the kids were flying through the air, I could sense the wind blowing through their hair and feel them soaring through the clouds.

“Chronicle” left me satisfied at the end of the movie.

When each scene approached, I found myself jumping out of my seat. I could not wait to see what was going to happen next..

If you love movies that make you sit on the edge of your seat, “Chronicle” is a must-see movie. I highly recommend making an attempt to go and see it.

Zabel’s 95 wins set school record

BY ROB RICHES Asst. Sports Editor Men’s basketball senior guard Greg Zabel recorded his 95th win in a Cavalier uniform in a 96-85 victory against the Keystone College Giants on Wednesday, Feb. 15.

While the victory closed out the Cavaliers regular season and earned them a record of 18-0 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference (24-1 overall), it also has significant meaning for Zabel. For Zabel, it means that he now has the most all-time victories as a Cavalier.

“It means a lot for me,” Zabel said, “I’ve been around great players and great coaches.”

Zabel started his career as a Cavalier during the 2008-09 season, the first season under head coach Marcus Kahn.

In his rookie campaign, he came off the bench for 17 games and scored 56 points. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers’ season ended with a 108-96 loss against the Gwynedd-Mercy College Griffins in the

CSAC title game.

“It means a lot to me as the first fouryear player for Coach Kahn,” Zabel said.

Zabel reached win No. 96 during the semifinal round of the CSAC playoffs in an 87-68 rout of the Immaculata University Mighty Macs on Feb. 21. He has the opportunity to reach win No. 97 during the CSAC Final against Keystone on Friday, Feb. 24.

“Winning three out of the four finals that I’ve been here for would mean a lot to me,” Zabel said.

Zabel moved one win closer to the record during the Senior Day game, an 85-55 rout over the Philadelphia Biblical University Crimson Eagles. Zabel scored a career-high 21 points and finished with four rebounds and two assists.

“Everyone came out and wanted to get me the ball,” Zabel said, “I just went in and played like I can.”

While Zabel is several games away from finishing his career as a Cavalier, he still hopes to continue working with the sport in some capacity, such as coaching, or getting 95 wins elsewhere.

“Hopefully I can be a coach somewhere at the college level,” Zabel said, “I would like to be a coach.”

When asked if he would like to pursue 95 wins elsewhere, he grinned with a oneword reply.

“Exactly,” Zabel said.

Zabel may enjoy his spot atop Cabrini basketball immortality but he wants to end

his career on a positive note with one last CSAC title, something that would make up for the 2009 title that got away from him.

“Being in the [CSAC] Finals four times and winning three out of four, that’s not bad,” Zabel said.

CABRINI LACROSSE PREVIEWS Men’s lacrosse ready to start 2012 campaign

BY ALLIE JETER Asst. A&E Editor The men’s lacrosse team is scheduled to play their first game of 2012 on Saturday, Feb. 25, against the Haverford College Fords on Haverford’s home turf. After posting a 13-6 record in 2011, the Cavaliers are ready for the new season to begin.

Last year, the No. 14 ranked Cavs lost to No. 7 Haverford by a score of 6-5 in their only regular season meeting but they still finished with a 6-0 record in CSAC play. Cabrini went on to win their 11th-consecutive CSAC championship before losing to Stevenson University in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Sophomore attack Matthew Biegel and his teammates have been actively preparing for their season-opening game.

“Coach Colfer has us working hard during practice and in the weight room, so we are ready physically and mentally for that opening day,” Biegel said. “It is a game we had a lead in last year and ended up losing by one, which still is a pretty bitter feeling for us. It’s good motivation and I think it will help us to succeed this year.”

Biegel obtained CSAC Rookie of The Year honors in 2011 and also was a CSAC Second Team selection. He played in 18 games and made 14 starts while finishing sixth on the team in scoring with 28 points (19 goals and nine assists).

Senior defenseman John McSorley was recognized as a USILA Honorable Mention All-American and earned CSAC First Team honors in 2011. He played in 19 games last season and had a team-high 64 groundballs.

Another key player on the team is junior goalkeeper Erick Zarzecki. In 2011, Zarzecki received All-CSAC First Team honors and started all 19 games for Cabrini while posting a 13-6 record. He also finished the season with

178 saves and a goals against average of 6.93.

Even though the team lost key seniors Paul Skulski and Steve Heaps, the men’s team has a number of young players coming in this season.

“I have been very impressed with our freshman class so far,” Biegel said. “The freshmen are really starting to find specific roles on the team. We lost some pretty key seniors last year at every position; however, I think our four seniors this year provide good leadership and know what it takes to win.”

Steve Colfer, head coach, believes his team is wellprepared and ready for the season.

“My feelings are that the guys are working hard and now we’ve finished four weeks of practice and two weeks of scrimmaging,” Colfer said. “We’ve done the little things we had to do, hopefully to be ready for our game on Saturday.”

Anthony DiNenno, Mike Leyden, Anthony DiSanzo

and Julius Mouser are just a couple of new players that Biegel feels are ready to contribute right away. Biegel also feels that seniors McSorley, Joe Arrell and Brian Hill as well as junior Bob Thorp are good captains and leaders of the team.

Even though the team lost some great key senior players, the coach has seen great potential in the players.

“Our freshmen have been great, they’ve been working hard,” Colfer said. “They’ve fit in with the team not only on the field but off the field.”

After winning the CSAC championship last season, the Cavs are hoping to take home the title again and move deep into the NCAA playoffs.

“We all believe we will and can go a lot further than that,” Biegel said. “I believe we have a great group of kids who can easily achieve these goals.”

Lady Cavs aiming for championship

BY LAURA GALLAGHER Asst. A&E Editor Spring is rapidly approaching and the women’s lacrosse team is training hard to get in the best shape possible for this year’s upcoming season.

Last year, the Lady Cavs posted an overall record of 7-10 and went 6-2 in CSAC play. Jamie O’Hanlon, attack, led the team in scoring last year with 79 points and 61 goals. She and teammate Gabrielle Gorbey, attack, combined for 136 points last season but both have since graduated.

“Right now we are working on a lot of conditioning with a fitness coach and we’re about to head to Florida over spring break for spring training,” Caroline Vaughn, senior midfielder, said. Vaughn is one of the four seniors on the team this year.

In addition to conditioning, the team is also focusing on their offense and defense closely this preseason.

“Our first game is a conference game so it’s important that we start the season off with a win,” Chrissy Pasquariello, junior midfielder/attack, said. Pasquariello scored a career-high 29 goals in 2011.

The team has lost a lot of seniors that were key assets but they have a positive outlook on the 2012 season. Jackie Neary and the Cavs have added eight new freshmen to the roster this year.

“It’s always tough losing seniors especially ones so full of leadership like last year but this year we have some great ones who can step up and take their place,” Kellie

The women’s lacrosse team is hoping to build upon a 2011 season in which they finished with an overall record of 7-10. The Lady Cavs begin their season with a home game against Notre Dame University on Tuesday, March 13.

Manoppello, sophomore attack, said. “We have some great newbies, a couple impressive freshmen who can benefit us through the year and years to come.”

“I think everyone’s adjusting well,” Vaughn said.

“Returning players are stepping up and the new players we have this year look awesome.”

The one thing the team wants to get back this year is the CSAC title. The team won the conference title in 2010

but fell to Gwynedd-Mercy by a score of 14-12 in the semifinal round of last year’s playoffs.

“We want it, the coaches want it, basically everyone is giving it their all to get it back this year,” Manoppello said.

Another year for Phillies, same expectations

BY KEVIN DURSO Asst. Sports Editor If you haven’t erased the images of the Phillies’ heartbreaking 1-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of the 2011 NLDS, you can finally move on. The Phillies opened spring training on Saturday, Feb. 18, in Clearwater, Fla., as they prepare for another season of baseball.

Once again, the Phillies have a division title to defend. After winning their fifth straight NL East crown last September and setting a new franchise record in wins with 102, the Phillies are now set to make many more memories and break records in their 2012 campaign.

That doesn’t come without some new faces. Gone are closer Ryan Madson, 2008 World Series hero Brad Lidge, left fielder Raul Ibanez and ace Roy Oswalt. New to the fold are closer Jonathan Papelbon, outfielders Ty Wigginton and Laynce Nix, first baseman Jim Thome and veteran pitchers Chad Qualls and Dontrelle Willis.

While these players departed, plenty of familiar faces still remain.

Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels, the three aces of the pitching staff, still remain and the offense will still be powered by Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and many more.

As you may painfully recall, Howard ruptured his Achilles tendon as he made the final out of Game 5. Despite facing a long recovery, several members of the Phillies, including manager Charlie Manuel, feel that Howard’s time out of the lineup will be brief.

It is expected that Thome, Wigginton and John Mayberry Jr. will likely split time at first base in Howard’s absence. Mayberry, however, is working toward the vacant left field job. He’ll battle Wigginton and Nix in challenging for the spot.

Additionally, there will likely be another battle for the final spots in the starting rotation. With Halladay, Lee and Hamels secure at the top, players like Vance Worley, Kyle Kendrick, Joe Blanton and

Willis will be fighting for the remaining two spots. Worley’s impressive rookie season will likely give him a place in the rotation, leaving three players with significant major league experience fighting for one spot.

After five straight division titles, it would be easy to say that the biggest threat to winning a sixth straight division title would be the Phillies themselves. The Atlanta Braves remain a close rival to the Phillies, and with additions like Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and Heath Bell, the newly-named Miami Marlins appear ready for a fresh start.

Perhaps the most impressive number upon pitchers and catchers day at spring training came courtesy of the fans, 3.1 million of them.

Upon entering spring training, the Phillies had sold 3.1 million tickets to home games in 2012. After selling out over 200 consecutive games in the past two seasons, the Phillies are well on their way to another season playing in front of a packed house at Citizens Bank Park.

Still, the Phillies’ goals rest on the games that come after their 162-game regular season schedule is complete. The Phillies have continued to fall much shorter of expectations after winning the 2008 World Series. After making a first-round exit last season, the Phillies and their fans still have the highest of expectations.

It’s hard to imagine anything other than a World Series title being acceptable. It is those expectations that brought guys like Halladay, Lee and, most recently, Thome here. It is those expectations that keep guys like Rollins, Utley, Howard and Hamels around. This team is loaded with players that embrace the pressure and big stage.

The Phillies are back and working toward standing on that big stage with another World Series trophy this October.

It wouldn’t be Philadelphia without a Flyers hockey goalie controversy. And here we go again, even though one would think that signing a $51 million man, Ilya Bryzgalov, would put an end to it. But that would just be too easy for us.

Is he just too stressed out playing under the pressure in this top sports market? Does his personality not suit this city and match the mentality? Do the fans expect too much too fast? Is Peter Laviolette to blame for his very well-known method of switching goalies from game to game? Or was the Flyers management just too quick to invest huge (and I mean humongous big) amounts of money into a guy who had a decent career for a non-hockey town? All incredibly possible and my guess would be that it’s a mixture of a few of those.

As Philly fans, we tend to turn on our “superstars” very quickly and are nationally known for hating our best players. I, for one, am incredibly guilty as you can find me on any given summer night giving the Big Piece Ryan Howard a really big piece of my mind from the 400 level of Citizens Bank Park. We are a working class city overall and it doesn’t sit well with most when we shell out any expendable income we have to go watch our players make a killing off of barely showing up.

This may be crazy considering how Bryz has gotten under our collective skin this year but I am proposing leaving that mentality behind and trying some Bryzgaloving in order to help him out.

It’s no secret that overall, the Flyers have played horribly at home this year and in the postseason. Hello, last year. And we’ve gone through how many goalies since we’ve had a good one? Ron Hextall? Hello, a decade ago. That’s pressure.

Bryz wasn’t wrong when he said he was going to goalie hell.

Considering we are the common denominator in this goalie story, maybe we should adjust our approach. Of course, the Flyers haven’t wanted to shell out any real money for a goalie in recent history and it is possible that every goalie we’ve had since Hextall has been terrible, but this guy has proven to be good so what do we have to lose by laying off and giving him some time?

If we support him and that doesn’t work, then at least we know it’s some other factor. After all, it’s a humongous big universe and I’m sure he can find somewhere else to not stop the puck.

Cabrini, Keystone to meet in CSAC final CAVALIERS, page 1 As the second half got underway, Immaculata stuck with the Cavaliers and even held a slim 47-46 lead early in the half thanks to a layup by junior guard Nelson Torres. However, the Cavs immediately took the lead away from the Mighty Macs and jumped out to a 63-51 lead near the half’s midway point following a Rafferty three-pointer.

With Cabrini leading by double digits, junior guard Jeremy Knowles and freshman guard Aaron Walton-Moss were called upon to help the team maintain their lead. Knowles finished with 15 points in the game while Walton-Moss led the team with 13 rebounds.

“Coach told us [at halftime] we were doing things right,” Rafferty said. “We just needed to turn the intensity up a little bit on defense. We came out and put the pedal to the metal.”

The Cavs shot 47 percent from the floor and knocked down seven three-pointers

over the course of the game. The Cavs also outrebounded the Might Macs by a 56-31 margin.

With CSAC rival Keystone University’s 98-75 victory over Neumann, Cabrini and Keystone will meet in the CSAC final game at the Nerney Field House on Friday, Feb. 24. The Cavs ended their regular season with a 96-85 win over the Keystone Giants on Wednesday, Feb. 15.

“The intensity will be a little higher going into a championship game and we’ll be more focused more than any other game because the stakes are higher,” Boyd said.

With this Keystone team fresh in Cabrini’s memory, the Cavs will only need to make a couple of minor adjustments prior to tipoff, according to Kahn.

“We have to get ready to go and get more sharp in a couple of areas, fine tune some things and take care of business the right way on Friday night,” Kahn said.
