Mission The Loquitur student newspaper and website are integral parts of the educational mission of the Cabrini Communication department, namely, to educate students to take their places in the public media. The newspaper and website provide a forum of free expression. All members of the college community may submit work to the editors for possible inclusion.

Publication is based on the editorial decision of the student editors.

The Cabrini difference: Experience something extraordinary When looking at colleges to attend, it’s easy to get lost in the mountains of paperwork being sent to and from prospective choices. With many students looking at colleges for the first time, what makes a school like Cabrini stand out?

For us, it’s the small details in everything we do that make the larger picture that much more radiant. We embrace the small campus and class sizes.

For some, being a number in a lecture class of 200 and having to briskly walk 10 minutes to each class to make it on time is what they expect of college. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Cabrini has a 15:1 studentteacher ratio, making it easy for students not only to get the attention they crave and need, but also to create a close relationship with the professors and advisers. In the job market today, everyone’s looking for that perfect recommendation or connection into the field. At larger universities students have to go out of their way even to be noticed in class. At Cabrini, many get to know faculty on a first name basis. Professors know their students’ work ethic and dedication. Advisers notice the extra work and time students put into everything they do. The bonds are special, and not many schools can compare.

As for outside of classes, we have 60+ clubs and groups on campus dedicated to different subjects. College is what you

make it. It’s a common phrase thrown around, but it’s nevertheless true. If you are looking for something, you are going to find it here. This also includes work experience and leadership opportunities. On our staff alone we have ambassadors, student government members, student athletes, club board members and representatives of different honors societies. It’s easy to become involved and balance academics and extracurricular activities.

One of the points Cabrini prides itself on is our up-to-date technology facilities. Whether it is our science labs, which are regularly upgraded with the latest equipment, or our com-

Letters to the Editor The Loquitur accepts letters to the editors.

here are thrust right into their majors and pick up the necessary skills through experience and not just through lecture. For example, in our video production class here, students are in the studio learning the controls the first day of class. In comparison, Temple, which is well known for its communications program, doesn’t let students use the equipment until they take multiple prerequisites and reach a higher class level.

Most notably, the Cabrini curriculum stands out from other colleges; we are a school that emphasizes social justice through classes titled Engagements with the Common

Good or ECG. There are numerous ECG classes focusing on subjects from Dating and Domestic Violence and Community Arts and Education, to World Leadership and Response to War and Disaster. With opportunities to travel abroad in response to these classes, it is an experience that other colleges just cannot match.

All of these characteristics combine to make Cabrini an impressive and distinctive institution. However, despite these components, students solely worried about their college experience as a whole could overlook all of this information.

The social aspect of college is one of the biggest factors in students’ decisions to go to a certain college. Every person’s experience will be different, but at least here at Cabrini, the opportunity to form bonds is exceptional. Whether our dorm mates or classmates, all of us on staff can honestly say that we’ve made friendship here that will last a lifetime. With living and learning communities, which are groups where students live closely as well as take classes together, in addition to the small school feel, Cabrini really does become a second family in a short amount of time.

If given the chance, we’d be delighted to welcome you to our family and Cabrini.

Work Study, Work Grant programs allow student employment Work Study vs. Work Grant

BY MADISON MILANO Asst. News Editor

There are many job opportunities for students on Cabrini College. The main way to get an on campus job is to qualify for work study or work grant. The Financial Aid office awards federal work study to students based on significant need as demonstrated on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and availability of funds.

Work study is an earning potential, meaning it is like any other job the student would regularly have. Hours get logged payments are based on a bi-weekly schedule. If you qualify for work-study, there will be an email sent over the summer before the year starts with all the job openings on campus that are available. “It’s easy to balance work and school because I can do school work at my job,� Caitlyn Canfield, sophomore human resources major, said. “It’s also convenient because I can take a three minute walk to work instead of a 10 minute drive.� The job listings are also posted on

All work study students are required to have their paychecks directly deposited into their checking or savings account.

The Cabrini Work Grant Program is also available for students who qualify. This is a program that awards $1,100 over the course of a year. If in the work grant program, a

$550 credit is given each semester toward the student’s tuition bill for a required six hours of work per week, whereas work study students get an actual pay check.

For both work study and work grant students, there are student employment forms that can be picked up in the Cavalier Express Center and filled out before starting.

There are jobs on campus that are not work study or work grant related – Jazzman’s, Sandella’s, lifeguarding and Phonathon, to name a few. “I just asked around for what jobs would be work study and which ones wouldn’t,� Andrea Broe, sophomore education major and Spanish minor, said. “Sodexo is not so I walked in the office in Jazzman’s and I started working the next day.� There are also opportunities in Wayne or in the King of Prussia mall that students will utilize. The Cabrini shuttle will stop at the King of Prussia mall, so a car is not necessary if a student is interested in a job off campus.

Plenty to do when going off-campus One of the great things about Cabrini is that it is located in a prime area. With Lancaster Avenue right around the corner and the city of Philadelphia only a train ride away, this location is perfect for college students.

BY ALEXA MILANO Asst. News Editor

Lancaster Avenue Lancaster Ave is only a few minutes away and it’s packed with things to do. The Anthony Wayne theater is a quaint theater that plays the latest hits. Plus, the SEaL office sells $4 movie tickets; how can you argue with that?

There is also a shopping center designed for all college students right down the street from the theater: Chipotle, Panera, Five Guys, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza and So Fun Frozen Yogurt. Literally, what more could you ask for?

Further down the road you’ll find the best diner that ever existed – Minella’s. Minella’s is open 24/7 and has a menu that has food on it that everyone will like. Also, a bowl of soup only costs $1.50.

Seriously, you can’t go to Cabrini and not love Minella’s.

And almost right across the street from Minella’s? Wawa. Enough said.

ROBERT RICHES | NEWS EDITOR

Philly Cabrini is only a half hour away from Center City, Philadelphia. What’s even better? The SEaL office sells $4 Septa tickets during one week of every month. These tickets are round trip and work on the weekends. The shuttle will even take you to and from the train station.

Two times a year, Philadelphia hosts restaurant week where 4 and 5 star restaurants have a fixed menu for only $35. While you’re here, it’d be silly to not take advantage of this great deal.

Also in the city? The Flyers, Phillies, Eagles and Sixers. With the Wells Fargo Center, Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field all in the same area, you could easily spend the night supporting one of our teams. Even if you don’t get tickets, Xfinity Live is a great place to go and is located in the Sports Complex as well.

Philadelphia is also home to the Franklin Institute, the Art Museum, Reading Terminal Market and South Street. While you’re here try out all the cheesesteak places and see which is your favorite. My vote goes to Jim’s.

CAP BOARD, VIA FACEBOOK.COM

CAP Board Trips One of the committees on the Campus Activities and Programming (CAP) Board is dedicated to doing an event every weekend. These weekend events include anything from movie nights, casino nights or trips. The trips have included Shady Maple (an amazing breakfast buffet smorgasbord), The Movie Tavern, glow bowling, Bates Motel and New York to see Broadway musicals. So no matter what, there will always be something to do on the weekends.

King of Prussia Mall Whenever you find yourself with some spare cash, hop on the shuttle and go to the King of Prussia Mall. One of the largest malls in the US, the King of Prussia Mall has over 400 stores. Since you could literally spend all day walking in and out of those shops – Forever 21, H&M, Nordstrom, Apple, Old Navy and so much more – there are also awesome restaurants there as well. California Pizza Kitchen, Maggiano’s, Bahama Breeze, Champp’s and The Cheesecake Factory are all fantastic places to go whenever you don’t want to go to Cavs Corner. And also located right near the mall? United Artist Stadium 16 & IMAX movie theater. Sounds like a great Saturday to me.

However, in the event of a missile attack, Locklear confirms his stance that the U.S. has complex anti-missile technology by simply stating, “we’re ready.�

CRS Food Fast: another success

BY SE’QUIA BAILEY Asst. Lifestyles Editor

In Spring 2012, the College’s CRS Ambassadors adopted the FoodFast to their program. This year, there were 15 attendees at their second annual FoodFast event. “The purpose of our event is to learn more so that we can teach more,� Clare Pressimone, president of CRS Ambassadors, said.

The event began at 10 a.m. where students gathered for a day full of activities in the Wolfington Center. The participants began with prayer and understanding of what the fast was—what it meant and why it was happening. The fast was to bring awareness to those who suffer and struggle to eat.

Pressimone emphasized how the group did an activity to

gain an understanding of what it meant to carry large amounts of water, about 45 lbs., from one point to another. The activity shows individuals that what may be unusual to us is norm for others who don’t have the same resources as we do. “Their reality is reality,�

Pressimone said.

Another highlight of the day was when participants watched a movie titled “Place at the Table.� Jack Matson, a Drexel student who participated, expresses how the movie was definitely an eye-opener for him. “The movie raises awareness to the situation. It was very informative and captivating,�

Matson said. He believes the movie is a great way to share with people what problems are still strongly occurring and existent in this world.

Sophomore Javon Pemberton reiterated Matson’s thoughts and feelings about the movie. “Just watching the mother’s struggle persuades me to embrace the issues and help people have a better life,�

Pemberton said.

The participants gained the understanding of how much easier it is to live an unhealthy life rather than a healthy lifestyle.

CRS Ambassadors stressed that FoodFast was for solidaritynot only to experience but to understand as a whole.

Senior communication major Laura Hancq gave a 15 minute presentation on food security and insecurity. This presentation was to show the cause and root of why issues of obesity and hunger exist.

Food security consists of three pillars: Food availability, food access and food use.

When one of those pillars is missing, it then falls into the category of food insecurity. The presentation highlighted the fact that food deserts do exist in this world and because of that people struggle. “Food deserts are the lace or absence of large grocery stores and low-income families living on a budget,�

Hancq said. This problem is not only being acknowledged here at Cabrini, it is being discussed internationally and domestically. First Lady Michelle Obama is a big advocate for ways in assisting

those impacted by food deserts.

Obama hopes to make changes concerning food deserts in the next few years. This is done by events such as FoodFast. It brings light to things that are otherwise overlooked.

Following the presentation, the group walked over to the mansion for a breaking bread ceremony. Senior Chelbi Mims led reflection and prayer before dinner was shared. In reflecting, some prayed and some sat deep in thought. After reflecting, a mitzvah took place for the bread breaking ceremony. Each person served their neighbor to the left of them. No one could eat until every individual was served.

Students were given time to reflect on “silence of the fast�— what was there to gain? “I learned how hunger in the U.S is growing rapidly more than just buying food�

Mackenzie Harris, secretary of CRS Ambassadors, said. Being a part of CRS and events such as FoodFast has proven to be an enlightening experience for Harris. “It has helped me to become an advocate for people who can’t,� Harris said. She hopes that in years to come more people will participate and gain more awareness about what it means to sacrifice. “It’s definitely about making a difference in our school and being transparent in helping our world,� Harris said.

The perks of going to a small school

BY HEATHER LAPERGOLA Asst. Managing Editor

When high school seniors start to imagine what college life will be like, many think about the huge lecture halls with 100+ other students and one professor and the 15 minute walk to get to that farther building at the other end of campus. Most don’t consider the option of a smaller school, like Cabrini, where there are many advantages to attending college on a smaller campus.

In the end, it comes down to personal preference, but make sure not to disregard small schools right off the bat.

No matter the potential major being considered, the intimacy with the professors at a small school is much more easily achieved than at larger universities. With smaller class sizes, professors are able to see students’ work ethic and skills, which is important since those same professors will be writing their students’ recommendations for graduate schools and job interviews. For many jobs, it’s all about connections and whom you know in the field, so the personal relationship students develop with their advisors is key to their future.

Another aspect to consider is involvement on campus.

There are often more opportunities for leadership positions at smaller institutions, helping to make more involved and well-rounded students. With groups associated to numerous hobbies, events and leadership, resume-building roles are within reach of many students seeking to show their initiative in what they’re interested in.

Whether it’s the short walk to the farthest building on campus, or the close bonds made with classmates and professors, there are plenty of reasons to consider a small college setting like Cabrini.

Cabrini especially excels in all these areas and prides itself on the college experience it offers incoming students. College is what the student makes it and looks for. The personal touch is that smaller schools have will be what students find here at Cabrini.

Cabrini College: endless opportunities I love Cabrini College because it has allowed me to become who I wanted to be and more! If I was asked at my high school graduation how involved I was going to

BY DANIELLE KANE be at my college I never would have Guest Writer guessed the level of involvement I am in at Cabrini today. I am currently a sophomore at Cabrini and am pursuing a degree in finance with a minor in international business. I am a member of the women’s soccer team and have had the opportunity to not only be on a team that has won the colonial states athletic conference two years in a row but also has made consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. I hold a position as a student ambassador on campus and give tours to prospective students daily. I am also a member of student government and hold the position of Cabrini College’s class of 2015 treasurer. Cabrini College has enabled me to become extremely involved on the campus and has given me multiple opportunities in and outside the classroom.

As a business major at Cabrini College I enjoy walking into my classes and coming out learning something new about the business world every day. I love how no matter what business major you choose Cabrini College makes students take core business classes that

allow students to learn the fundamental skills and knowledge necessary for future employment. Cabrini College’s business department offers a variety of classes and opportunities for its students. Teachers always have events

business administration, and finance. I choose to be a finance major and could not be happier with my decision. I am looking forward to the next two years with the business department in the pursuit of getting my degree.

written on the boards and email students about local internships, career fairs, and scholarship opportunities. Most teachers in the business department currently have other professional jobs or have had a previous job in a firm. This allows the teachers to bring in real life situations and experiences making their lessons more realistic and beneficial. Cabrini College has five business majors that include accounting, human resources, marketing,

Another aspect of Cabrini College that I love is that here you are not a number you are an individual. When choosing a college I wanted a school that people knew who I was and I wanted individual attention in the classroom when it came to academics. I wanted the teachers to know who I was by name and form bonds that when looking for a job, I can ask for them to be my references. At Cabrini College I got exactly what I was looking for. I

have had the most influential professors that have driven me to become the best student I could possibly be. They have challenged me and have been there if I needed any help along the way. Teachers at Cabrini College are passionate about their jobs and are always available for any student they teach. Having passionate teachers make me as a student want to learn and want to be in that classroom.

Cabrini College was the best decision of my life and has opened several doors for opportunities. I have become a leader on the campus and that has helped me become who I am today. Cabrini College has taught me a lot about the business world and I can’t wait to use what I have learned in the classroom during my internship at USLI, United States Liability Insurance, starting this May. I have met so many people at school including students, faculty, and staff and they have become my family making college a home away from home.

I know when I graduate I will not only take away from the experience a degree to help me pursue a future career but also I will take away long lasting friendships and memories. Here on campus I am not a number I am someone that is making a name for myself and am “Doing Something Extraordinary.”

Service beyond one’s self When coming to Cabrini College I had no idea what I wanted to study or what I wanted to do after graduation.

To be honest, the reason why I came to Cabrini College is because I knew I had to commute, and Cabrini was close to my house. But in these four years I fell in love with Cabrini and I am happy I decided to come to Cabrini.

Right off the bat, I was placed in the ECG for

BY JESS MERONE commuters. We learned about Guest Writer social justice, coming of age, and advocacy. This class was the beginning steps for my social justice involvement at Cabrini. I decided to become a social work and psychology major. I first wanted to work with children in the foster care system. It was my senior graduation project in high school.

My second year at Cabrini I got involved more with Spanish, and my interests of advocacy and justice blossomed. I joined the ECG four year mentorship program, and from there I decided to become a dual major in Spanish and Social Work. This program taught me what “The Education from the Heart” truly is.

“Education from the Heart” means that you not only study the material in class with your mind, but also with your heart; that you are so invested and moved by the material in class, that it has a special place in your heart.

Learning about immigration issues and rights during these four years has broadened my horizons on other global issues and concerns.

Through this program I joined Catholic Relief Services Ambassadors. This club on campus helps inform the Cabrini students and the community on global human rights issues such as food and water insecurity, HIV & AIDS, immigration, and so forth. I learned a new perspective on the outside world that I didn’t previously see in high school. I learned about important global issues, but most important how to advocate and inform others of these issues.

I think the most important thing I learned at Cabrini is the person I want to be after graduation and what I am passionate about. Everyone coming to college is at the place in their life where they are not sure who they are or what they want to do in life. When I was a freshman at Cabrini, I had no idea what I wanted to study, who I wanted to be, or what my future held. Now I still have questions about my future, but I know exactly what I want to do. Thanks to the “Education of the Heart” curriculum at Cabrini, I know that whatever I want to do in the future, I want to work somewhere that has a purpose and can make a difference. A purpose where the goal is to help change the lives of others for the better. Following in the footsteps of Mother Cabrini, I do want to work with immigrants who have no other choice but to come to the United States undocumented.

Cabrini has opened a lot of doors for me, and I want to take advantage of each and every one of them. A few great opportunities I was privileged to have were when I

went to France, Switzerland, Guatemala, and Ecuador.

What I truly love about Cabrini is that you are able to invent yourself, where a great faculty and staff are here to help and support you. All the activities and events I was involved in I couldn’t have done it with the help of my teachers and advisors. They showed me the different paths I could take and what the future could hold for me in the future. I know my future will be bright with the education and skills I received from Cabrini.

Cabrini College: Do Something Extraordinary. Our motto is easy to achieve with the many courses and majors that are offered to the students. I am a junior communications major and business administration minor here at the college and love every minute of it. The possibilities are endless. I have had so many opportunities that are presented to me each year. Throughout my last three years at Cabrini I have been able to be on the radio station, be an anchor for the news program, and be an editor for the award-winning newspaper,

BY LIA FERRANTE Perspectives Editor The Loquitur. By working in these three fields, it sets Cabrini students apart because of their diversity in multimedia.

In addition, I have been able to open my heart to my faith and use it to help people who surround me. This is through my Engagement with the Common Good, or ECG, classes. These classes allow students to go beyond just community service. They teach students how to develop skills in order for them to bring about a meaningful change.

Through my ECG classes, I was able to experience new adventures and new lessons that I will cherish in my future plans. Students are able to learn about the world around them.

They have enhanced my skills to become a better leader, travel to a country that is in poverty, and advocate in Washington, D.C. Also, having a lot of school spirit is an understatement for Cabrini.

Freshman reflects on time at Cabrini

BY DAN LUNER Guest Writer

When asked the question “What do I love about Cabrini?” so many things come to mind. I could easily write about how much opportunity I’ve had in just my freshman year, or how I’ve met so many great people.

After thinking it over, there are two things I love most about Cabrini: Being a communications major as well as a student ambassador

in the admissions office.

When I first applied to Cabrini, I intended to be a social work major, but after an info session, personal tour, AND open house, I knew the communications wing was where I was destined to spend my next four years. While viewing the communications department, I was amazed by all of the state-of-the-art technology. Most of the equipment, software, etc. used in the department is what you would use in the professional communications industry. The next thing that I liked about the communications major at Cabrini was that the major requirements consisted mostly of electives. That really made me happy because it showed that you could personalize the major and take a ton of classes in what you really enjoy. Things definitely changed though from when I was a prospective student looking at the department to when I started classes in the fall.

There were many changes that I experienced from being a prospective student looking at the department to actually becoming communications major. One of best parts (in my book) was that my homework wasn’t always paper after paper. Sure, there are papers, but I learned how to make radio commercials, video interviews,

and so much more. I loved the fact that I was getting graded to play around and make a radio commercial in GarageBand. This second semester is also great being a part of the communications department. By the spring of my freshman year, I was no longer sitting in lectures all the time. Being a communications student had me up in just the second week of the semester and learning how to work video equipment. As a communications major, I am gaining so much hands-on experience while my friends who are other majors are sitting and taking notes from

a PowerPoint all class. The last thing that is great about being a communications major is the department staff.

All of the communications teachers are so helpful in class, but also outside of the classroom. They are willing to work with you and they really want to see you succeed. I’m so glad I chose to become a communications major because I have had so many great experiences within the major in just a mere two semesters.

Another thing I love about Cabrini is being a student ambassador. The student ambassador program allows for current students to give tours to prospective students as well as for them to work in the admissions office. When I came to the spring open house as a high school senior last

year, I knew this was something I wanted to be involved in at Cabrini. I was already bleeding blue and white so I clearly wanted to share that with other people. When I got to school in the fall, I constantly bugged my upperclassman friends to keep me in the loop for when I could become one. In the fall, a teacher of mine nominated me for the program and I was fortunate to be accepted into it. At first I was nervous because I was a second semester freshman, and I thought I would be really bad at tours. With the help of senior ambassadors, as well as the admissions staff, I now can give tours and easily show potential students the beautiful campus.

There are so many reasons I love being an ambassador. One reason is because I get to work with my friends as well as have fun. Another reason is because I am gaining valuable work experience while doing something I love. Lastly, but certainly the best part about being a student ambassador is that I get to share my love of Cabrini with every prospective student I meet. I stumbled across this quote one time that read, “You do your best work if you do a job that makes you happy,” and I certainly do my best work each day, because being a student ambassador makes me happy.

There are so many more things I could list that I love about Cabrini, but these are definitely my top two.

Everybody else on this campus could tell you two things as well about Cabrini that they love. I’m sure even some could tell you a list of things, like myself. In the end, I’m so glad I chose Cabrini, because the experiences I’ve had here, I doubt I could find at any other school.

Getting involved is easy as ONE, TWO, THREE

BY JENNAROSE DIGIACOMO Asst. Lifestyles Editor

As fall 2013 approaches, many freshmen are scrambling around trying to makes new friends, as well as figuring out where their classes are and finding their place here at Cabrini. So why not join a club to get you started?

“Clubs here at Cabrini give students the chance to be a part of something bigger than themselves,” Greg Robinson, political science and business administration double major, said. Greg is copresident of Moda dal Vivo, which is the Fashion Club here on campus. The club

gives students a chance to be a part of the fashion world. “But, we also show the world that you don’t have to be a size two to look fabulous,” Greg said.

Just getting involved will make the transition into college a whole lot easier.

“Students can get involved by going to the involvement fair in the beginning of the fall,” Nikia Bell, marketing major, said. “It’s an easy way to meet new people.” Nikia is a part of the Anime Club here on campus; the club is for students who share a liking for anime and manga.

“We also advocate for Asian culture,” Nikia said. “If you join our club there are always new and exciting things to talk

about.”

There are over 50 different clubs and organizations that Cabrini offers. “If a student doesn’t see a club of their interest, they can start their own,” Greg said.

“It’s easy as one, two, three.” Students would have to go to SEaL (the Student Engagement and Leadership office).

From there students should ask for an organization packet, get a few pointers from administrators in the office, just a few more steps after that and then they can start.

THE LIVING EXPERIENCE: CAMPUS LIVING VS. COMMUTING Roommates are there when you need them.

BY JENNIFER CANNON Asst. Lifestyles Editor

Chris Keeney and roommate Nicole Lawlor

At the recent room selection for next year, was it tough for you to make the decision of who’ll be your roommate? You can decide whether you want to continue rooming with the same person, pick different friends to room with or go in hoping for the best.

Having a roommate is an essential part of the college experience because it teaches you to live on your own away from your parents, without the scary reality of being by yourself. “You always have somebody to do something with; always have somebody to complain to,” sophomore marketing major Nicole Lawlor said.

It’s hard to tell whether the roommate that is randomly generated for you is going to be a good match. “Me and my roommate were both people who could get along with other people. Of course when the year drags on, people always get tired of each other but that’s just what happens when you live with someone new,” Chris Keeney, sophomore history major said.

Rooming with someone you already know can be risky, because if something goes wrong it can ruin your friendship, but often times it is another source of company for you to have. “It’s almost like you’re always hanging out with someone,” Keeney said.

Roommates are your main companion, especially if you begin freshman year not knowing anyone.

Often times they are your first, and sometimes longest, friends here at Cabrini.

As much as no one wants it to happen, sometimes roommates don’t work out, and in that case your RA or Res Life is there to assist, but working it out together is the first step. “I think you’re always going

to have problems, the two of us are fine together, we don’t fight or anything but there’s stuff that I’m sure I do that annoys her and stuff she does that annoys me,” Lawlor said. “You’re never gonna be perfect, you just have to tolerate each other.”

“You have to adjust to what your roommates are like,” Keeney said. "Whether it’s scheduling when you have class or other activities, or their study habits if they like to listen to music when they study, you just have to correspond with each other.”

If you come from a home where you had a room to yourself, rooming with someone may pose a challenge to you. You have to learn when it’s time to do work and when it’s time to go to bed. “You can’t always do everything you want because you have to be courteous,” Lawlor said. “That’s why sometimes it’s nice to have the weekends to myself.”

Roommates also do not have to become your best friends. Sometimes it can work out that way, but don’t be discouraged if you don’t like living with them as much as you thought you would. “Some roommates aren’t as eager to adjust as others. It’s really just working out what works best for the people” Keeney said.

One thing is for sure, roommates will be there for you at the times when you are homesick or really down or stressed, they see you at your worst when you crawl out of bed late for your 8:15 and still accept you. “it’s almost like you’re not alone even though you’re not at home with your family, and even though sometimes it can be annoying it’s comforting.” Keeney said.

Intramurals offer ‘chance to keep playing sports you love’

BY AMANDA CUNDARI Staff Writer

The chance to play sports for those attending Cabrini College is easier than some students may think.

Competing at the varsity level for most may not be an option because of the time commitment and overall competitive nature. Intramural leagues are a good option but do not allow students to compete against other colleges and universities.

“Club teams are really important because they give students a chance to keep playing a sport that they love,” assistant director of athletics and recreation Orlin Jespersen said. “Club teams fall in the middle of the varsity and intramural levels and gives students a chance to play at a competitive level not only against other Cabrini students but other schools.”

Recently, new club teams have been coming out of the groundwork. A club baseball team is expecting to start again and Jespersen hopes and expects it to be up and running full time next year. A club women’s basketball team is also expecting to begin at full force this upcoming fall.

The men’s and women’s club basketball teams had a chance to play at Shippensburg last weekend at the PIRSA regional tournament, where the women went 5-0 taking home the banner as PIRSA State Champions.

“It is a chance for Cabrini to play against other schools and fight for some bragging rights,” Jespersen said. “It is also a chance to play against teams across the nation and to have a good experience.”

The women’s basketball club team fell into place after a group of girls played in Cabrini’s Men Intramural League.

“We try and get more women involved,” Jespersen said. “It is usually a challenge so when I saw the women’s team in the intramural league I knew it would be a great opportunity for them to actually have a chance to play against other women’s teams.”

In club sports there is no division between schools.

“Students can have the chance to play Temple, Penn State and more in national and regional tournaments,” Jespersen said.

In the future, Jespersen hopes for the formation of more club teams wherever there may be student interest.

Cabrini women’s club basketball won the PIRSA championship last weekend. Club basketball is one of several intramural sports offered at Cabrini.

“Club teams are a great opportunity for students to not only continue to play in sports they love,” Jespersen said. “But they also allow students to grow in leadership,

make connections, and have an overall good time.”

Bass posts round low in Cabrini Classic

BY KEVIN DURSO Sports Editor

Cabrini College was the host school at the Cabrini College Classic on Tuesday, April 9.

Cabrini placed third and fourth in the invitational.

Junior Rob Bass claimed the individual title, posting a round low of two-over 73.

Bass, a member of the White team, was joined by sophomore Tommy Breslin in posting a low score. Breslin shot a five-over 76 on the day, tied for the second lowest score of the day.

Freshman Nick Pirone led the Blue team with a round of 82, which also tied for eighth place overall individually.

Joe Myers, Pat Rooney, Ted Nebiolo and Rafe Sanders also competed as part of the Blue team. Myers and Rooney tied with a score of 84. Nebiolo shot a round of 87. And Sanders rounded out the individuals on the Blue team with a round of 89.

Tracking LAX Lady Cavs make statement in latest win

BY KEVIN DURSO Sports Editor

This is the time of year the Lady Cavs really show what they’re made of.

Conference play is everything to the Lady Cavs and it is usual how they’re judged. Their

most recent win should really serve as marker for where they are this season.

Neumann’s women’s lacrosse team entered with an 11-1 overall record and a perfect 5-0 record in the CSAC. The Lady Cavs made this game look like another walk in the park.

CABRINI ATHLETICS / SUBMITTED PHOTO

Christina Pasqueriello (No. 4) was recently named CSAC Player of the Week and scored seven goals in a 20-9 win over Neumann.

A 20-9 win for the Lady Cavs vaults them into first place in the CSAC. And the contributions they are getting are coming from all members of the team.

But Christina Pasqueriello is really leading the charge.

After garnering CSAC Player of the Week honors, Pasqueriello scored a career-high seven goals in the win over Neumann. That was coupled with four goals from sophomore Lacie Doubet and three from sophomore Sara Carzo.

In the meantime, these contributions have put the Lady Cavs on a six-game win streak.

With five games left in their regular season, there is no better time for the Lady Cavs to be catching fire.

They are perfect against CSAC opponents at 5-0. They have three remaining games against conference foes. Nothing appears to be standing in the way of the Lady Cavs and another perfect season in the CSAC. As their defense of the CSAC title draws closer - with the playoffs rapidly approaching - the

current success the Lady Cavs are having puts them on the fast track to a repeat.

The Lady Cavs first goal at this time is to finish strong in conference play and lock down a first-round bye. With their win against Neumann on Tuesday, they appear well on their way to achieving that. But the task doesn’t stop there.

The players know the task at hand. They have been there before. They can complete the task by simply doing the same things they are now.

They control the play against the opposition. They cycle the ball well with crisp passing. They have multiple scoring threats.

Simply put, the Lady Cavs are the complete package. And they made the biggest statement possible by beating a Neumann team that was likely their stiffest competition.

That formula has them on pace to defend the CSAC title.

And by the looks of things, no one is going to stop them.

What it’s like to be a Cabrini athlete

BY CHRISTINA SPADAVECCHIA Staff Writer

Competing in the NCAA Division III and the Colonial States Athletic Conference, Cabrini College offers 16 different varsity sports for athletes to be recruited or try out for.

The sports that Cabrini offers for men are cross-country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and tennis, with lacrosse and basketball being well-known.

Many of the students are well-

experienced, coming in from high school. The sports that Cabrini offers for women are, basketball, cross-country, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, volleyball, swimming and tennis.

Most students who play a sport for Cabrini enjoy it very much and put so much dedication into every second of it.

“My overall experience as a Cabrini students athlete has been outstanding. First off, I’ve made great friends over the last

Lacrosse player Kevin Gallagher and field hockey player Katie Solewin are two seniors who have benefited from Cabrini Athletics.

four years. Another positive aspect of my experience has been playing for coach [Steve] Colfer. He has taught me so much, not just about the X’s and O’s of lacrosse, but also how to have a strong work ethic and commitment to my school work and off-thefield responsibilities,” Kevin Gallagher, senior goalkeeper on the men’s lacrosse team, said.

By playing sports you become friends with so many different people and you also become very close with them and some even stay in connect with one another that graduated.

“It was a great way to become friends with people right away my freshmen year. I also remained close with those who have even graduated,” Katie Solewin, senior forward on the field hockey team, said.

Cabrini sports are a huge time commitment, which means there is not a lot of free time.

“As a result of being a Cabrini student athlete, your free time gets reduced drastically. A typical day consists of class, practice, lifting and homework leaves very little free time though out the day and night,” Gallagher said. Some days, the life of an athlete is a challenge.

“Because of games I missed out on some activitieswith other friends that were not on the team, but in all, I am so glad that I decided to play field hockey,” Solewin said.

Another perk of being an athlete is that students get to travel to different places. This is a great way for the teams to be able to bond and become closer to one another.

“I’ve had the unique opportunity to travel to different parts of the country which has been another positive aspect of my experience as a Cabrini student athlete,” Gallagher said.

All student athletes will have many memories to share after they graduate from the College.

They will always remember how much hard work that they dedicated, the people they have met, the hard times they went through and also the fun they had.

“Being able to compete at the highest level of Division III lacrosse as a Cabrini student athlete has been a truly rewarding experience that I know will serve me well after I graduate,” Gallagher said.

Cabrini got goals from Melissa Scanzano, Lacie Doubet and Katie Lasater.

At the halfway point of the first half, however, the Lady Knights had the 4-3 lead.

The Lady Cavs then reeled off six straight goals, including three from senior Christina Pasqueriello. Doubet also added her second of the game, and Bree Thompson, Sara Carzo and Ali May also tallied their first goals.

Neumann managed to score with five seconds left in the half to cut the score in half, 10-5.

But the Lady Cavs didn’t surrender in the second.

Softball suffers another sweep

BY BETHANY BIGENO Asst. Sports Editor

The Cabrini women’s softball team traveled to Dover, De. to take on Wesley College on Monday, April 8. The team played a doubleheader and fell short in both games. The losses by scores of 10-9 and 12-4 now brings the Cavaliers to 9-12.

Wesley College took the lead in the opener when they scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning.

Katie Hall led the the team with three hits in the first game. Along with Hall, Molly McDougall both put up two RBI’s. Bethany Feinburg took her first career loss of the season allowing nine runs on nine hits.

“During the first game we battled back really hard but it just wasn’t enough,” third baseman Steph Diegel said. “We hit really well, we just need to get more timely hits throughout the game instead of a couple here and there.”

The Cavaliers tried to use the Wolverines faults against them but came up short. Diegel made it to second base on an error. Hall hit an infield single which led to Diegel’s run.

In the top of the third, McDougall started the inning off with an infield single, before scoring on Taylor McGarvey’s second career triple. McGarvey crossed the plate on Diegel’s RBI single to left field.

Later in the inning McDougall’s two-run single scored Marcelle Crist and Becca Miles score.

The Cavs would score a seventh-inning run but couldn’t tie the game, dropping the first game.

In the second game, Wesley scored two in the first and five in the second off Crist, who allowed six earned runs in the loss.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino is in the news for becoming the first coach to win a National Championship with two different schools, but perhaps the biggest coaching name in college basketball is Mike Rice.

The coach for the Rutgers men’s team, Rice was fired last week after ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” aired video of Rice berating his team with racial as well as homophobic slurs, physically pushing players and firing basketballs at his players as if it were dodgeball practice.

All of these are behaviors that a coach, no matter how intense, should not be exhibiting, particularly at a college level or lower. But the decision to fire Rice was based off an impulse reaction that required more input, primarily from his players.

Rutgers’ players should have had some say in whether or not Rice should have been fired.

Players may have been grossly offended by Rice’s bullying, but had they felt like he was their best chance at winning going forward, they should at least have some say as to determining his fate.

The fact that several players came forward in defense of Rice speaks volumes- circumstances may have been entirely different had they a say in the matter.

The focus also shifts to now former athletic director Tim Pernetti, who resigned in the wake of the scandal. While Pernetti suspended Rice for three games in addition to fining and requiring completion of anger management courses, public outcry still called for his head as well.

Pernetti was also granted a controversial severance package- $1.2 million, two years of health insurance, $12,000 for a car and an iPad. At the end of the day, if a coach uses racial or homophobic slurs to demean the abilities of his players, they should not be coaching in the first place. But if the players are willing to tolerate it, they should get at least some say in the matter, and when the athletic director walks away with a lucrative severance package, it’s even more of a low-blow.

Cabrini cruised past another ranked team,No. 12 Denison University, at Edith Robb Dixon Field with a 13-8 win on Saturday, April 6.

Cabrini started off the game a little slow but controlled the ball in the attacking zone. After about three minutes of play, and a couple of blocked shots, sophomore Mike Leyden struck first blood in the contest.

Play went back and forth for about five minutes before sophomore Damian Sobieski got his first goal of his eventual hat trick.

Not to be outdone, junior Corey Elmer scored extending the Cav’s lead to three early in the first quarter.

Just after the five-minute mark sophomore Anthony DiSanzo scored the forth unanswered goal of the period.

With just over a minute left Denisin finally got on the board to make the score 4-1 in favor of the Cavs going into

the second quarter.

The second quarter started off slow.

Then just before the 12-minute mark Denison struck again bringing them within two.

Denison then scored again two minutes later making it a one-goal game after three unanswered goals.

From then on, the momentum switched and it was in Cabrini’s favor for the rest of the second quarter.

Elmer had a hat trick in the last 10 minutes of the quarter, with one of the goals while the Cavs were a man down.

The Cavs were now up 7-3 heading into the third quarter.

Just 27 seconds into the quarter, Sobieski scored making it four unanswered goals for the Cavs.

Denison controlled the attacking play after that getting on the board again making the score 8-4 in favor of the Cavs.

Cabrini then scored two goals in a row. The first was with a man-up oppotunity by Sobieski finishing his hat trick on the day. Elmer also scored in the

outburst tallying his fifth of the day.

To finish off the quarter Denison scored two goals in a row.

The Cavs didn’t back down firing shots at the net in the last minute with no fortune of one finding the back of the net and the score stayed at 10-6.

The fourth quarter started off with the Cavaliers bursting offensively with two goals from Elmer in the opening minute.

Less than two minutes later the Cavs struck again with a goal from sophomore Ethan Heisman extending their lead to seven.

The scoring subsided for about five minutes before Denison scored. Then three minutes later they scored again icing the score at 13-8 Cavs.

Looking ahead the Cavs play at home again on Wednesday, April 10 at 6:30 p.m. when they host Rosemont College.
