A new year is here and along with that comes a new president. Deb Takes, the interim president, took on her position over the summer and is excited to be spearheading the college. “There’s so much going on. I’m looking forward to the students, I’m really looking forward to [spirit] week, I’m of course looking forward to the fabulous sports teams,” Takes said. Takes has a background in banking and started her relationship with Cabrini in 1986 as an adjunct faculty member. “I taught three different classes here and they were some of my most fun times,” Takes said. Takes joined the Board of Trustees in 2000 and has served as both Vice Chair and Chair of the board. This year would’ve been Takes’ last year serving on the board. “So I’ve been here a long time,” Takes said. “I’ve been on the board for 13 years and in a leadership capacity the last six years.” The information Takes received while being on the board, and her background in banking helped her
immensely while she started this new position. “I realized that it was very much like the bank in that it had a structure, a management structure, [and] it had customers, our students,” Takes said. “And so as I read more and more I felt more and more comfortable that I just needed to know who the constituencies were and
for our students. “We’re talking about some really interesting possibilities in working with corporations to establish relationships and jobs,” Takes said. “We’re looking at new programs and I’m just having some wonderful discussions about partnerships and how we can work with maybe a company to establish
“Every day is an adventure here for me” DEB TAKES
I was used to dealing with constituencies.” Although it wasn’t the easiest transition, Takes is confident about her new position. “There’s a lot of energy here, people get really excited about stuff,” Takes said. “This is a really energizing atmosphere for me.” One of the things Takes seems really passionate about is starting a relationship with different corporations to provide more employment opportunities
internships with our students in emerging fields.” Takes believes in preparing the students in the best possible way for life after Cabrini. “I would really love to work with career services. I’ve always worked closely with Nancy Hutchison, I think she’s got wonderful ideas about how to prepare our students for whatever it is they want to pursue,” Takes said. “You may not know yet what you want to do, you’re young, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
Although this would’ve been Takes’ last year serving on the board, she will continue to have a relationship with Cabrini. “I love it! I love the college, who could not love this place? It gets under your skin – in a good way! So I will still be coming back, I don’t know how but I will.” Takes’ enthusiasm about her job and Cabrini is noticeable to anyone who meets her. She cares deeply about the wellbeing of the students and has an open door policy for anyone who has the time to stop by. “The most fun part is meeting the students, I love the students,” Takes said. “I love meeting with anybody though. I love meeting with marketing, I love meeting with the professors, they’re just great people. “ Although Takes loves the people she works with, she loves one thing even more. “The best part though is the incredibly rich conversations I have here with everybody – they’re interesting, they’re energizing, they’re inspiring to me,” Takes said. “Every day is an adventure here for me.” ARM364@CABRINI.EDU

The long road to a new president The Cabrini College community was shocked over the summer with the resignation of Dr. George. Now we wait while the process to find a new president is underway. To the shock of the Cabrini College student body, President Marie Angelella George sent out an email announcing her resignation on June 3, 2013. There’s no denying that the students of Cabrini admired the former president. This fact only makes the transition more surprising, confusing and even somewhat uncomfortable for some. Though many are still adjusting to her sudden departure with heavy hearts, the larger adjustment of searching for a new president for Cabrini weighs on the minds of everyone related to the college. The process of looking for a new college president is much more intensive than many realize. The Board of Trustees gathers a selection committee made up of other faculty, staff and even students who fit the search criteria, such as our Student Body President. From there they then find a search firm who looks for potential candidates for the position based on what they believe the school is looking for. These candidates are flown from all over the country and each candidate will do numerous interviews, as well as tours to become familiar with the school and its different departments. It can be a very long process, especially when trying to match the candidates with the same values Cabrini holds. Our interim president, Deb Takes, despite being on the board of trustees prior to accepting the presidential position, will not be involved in the search process and depending on the length of the search, will potentially be in the position all year. President George’s absence left the school a little rattled because of its abruptness. In addition to the President’s withdrawal, the week before her announcement came the notice of the elimination of 10 other employee positions. These positions were lost, combined or replaced. Cabrini was also not the only local college to lose its president this year. Both Arcadia University and Bryn Mawr College announced the losses of their Presidents earlier in the year, after relatively short tenures. These fluctuations in management are surprising and unusual for the Philadelphia area. All of this rouses questions such as: does the fear of lessening enrollment have anything to do with the longevity of a president? And what specifically is Cabrini looking for in a new president? As a whole, it is completely possible that if a school’s enrollment falls it could have consequences on the job security of a president. This is an issue that may become more controversial in the near future since many expect college enrollment to fall. However in terms of Cabrini, our freshman class is the lowest in a long time, just 315, so that should not have been a factor in President George’s resignation. President George wrote that she left to “pursue other professional and academic interests,” and said it was a personal choice. Despite this, many are still curious about the sudden parting and a bit suspicious about the vague circumstances. Regardless, the position is now vacant and looking for occupation. But not just anyone can fill space. They must match the school, students, values, mission and more. A person who pushes students to their fullest potential and asks them to explore both moral and ethical questions. A president dedicated to academic excellence, leadership development and a commitment to social justice. If Cabrini pushes its students to be extraordinary, we must have a president to match. In the meantime, we are in more than capable hands with interim President Deb Takes. Her enthusiasm for the college and everything associated with it is easily visible to everyone she comes into contact with. We seem well represented until the day comes when a new president can call Cabrini home.
If Cabrini pushes its students to be extraordinary, we must have a president to match.

Welcome class of 2017!

Cabrini College welcomed the class of 2017 with a weekend of fun-filled activities for their orientation. Orientation weekend is the first weekend that the freshmen class gets to spend on campus and it’s their first look into what life at Cabrini is like. Although orientation lasts only a weekend, the entire summer is spent planning and organizing it. Seniors Jenna Lomenzo and Samantha Shea were this years’ Orientation Coordinators. “The process was difficult, but absolutely rewarding,” Shea said. The process consisted of numerous days a week spent in the office of Student Engagement and Leadership (SEaL), and countless hours spent making phone calls, organizing the orientation leaders’ training and making sure the freshmen enjoyed themselves once they got here. “My main goal was to give the freshmen class the same amazing transition I had freshmen year,” Shea said. There were over 60 orientation leaders (OL) who came to campus a week early to train and get prepared for the weekend. “This was my first time being an OL so I went in knowing nothing,” junior orientation leader Shawn Friel said. “But the train-
ing really helped. The returners and orientation coordinators had everyone who had experience with orientation do their best to make sure you are prepared for every possibility with your kids.” The weekend kicked off with all 60+ orientation leaders helping the new students move in. “My favorite part is move in day because I get to meet all the new freshmen,” junior orientation leader Grace Meyer said. “I like being a smiling face for them when I know how nervous they all are coming to a new environment.” With events like a family picnic, PlayFair, a hypnotist, historical tours of the mansion, and multiple inflatables in the parking lot of East Res, it’d be hard for the new students not to have a good time. “My favorite part was PlayFair because even though the ice breakers were fun, the fair gave me the chance to hang out with the new friends I met and connect with other people,” freshman Diane Derecola said. PlayFair is a team building experience that has the students participate in multiple activities that are meant to help students bond with on another. “My favorite part would have to be PlayFair,” She said. “Watching everyone make all these con-
nections that will probably last throughout their four years here is a beautiful sight to see.” If anything, orientation weekend is supposed to get the new students excited about their next four years at Cabrini and help them make the transition on campus. “What I’m looking forward to most this year is keeping the connection with the people I met and also taking chances by pushing myself to do things beyond my comfort zone, like joining clubs and sports,” Derecola said. The new students seemed eager and excited to be getting their journey started at Cabrini. “I think this orientation was my favorite,” Meyer said. “The freshmen were really interested in getting involved and really seemed like they wanted to meet new people and participate which makes our job more fun!”

Putin’s war on LGBT BY ROCCO DELMONTE Multimedia Editor
Freedom: the right or power to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. A word and a feeling we could not even think to live without. In Russia on July 3rd President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning homosexual couples, as well singles, to adopt children from Russia if they lived in a country where equality marriage exists in any form. Putin also signed multiple antigay bills ranging from the arrest of any homosexual or lesbian tourists to foreign nationals that they suspect of being homosexual. The other bill classifies any homosexual propaganda as pornography. These laws are vague, broad and ignorant. Anyone that speaks in defense of the LGBT community is subject to arrest. This includes lawyers, teachers, parents, and lawmakers, all of which could be arrested and/or fined for going against Putin’s bills. There is talk about yet another
bill Putin has yet to pass. This bill would be the removal of children from their families if their parents are homosexual or if there is suspicion of their parents being homosexual. This would also allow the removal of children from adoptive homes if their adoptive parents are suspected of being homosexual. These stories are extremely upsetting to read and hear about. There are posts on social media reporting homophobic beatings from Russian officials as well as civilians. These posts include videos of the beatings showing extreme hatred and cruelty. Photos are also surfacing of these brutal acts. Social media is branching out to help our LGBT community brothers and sisters of Russia. Protests all over the world are being performed, flags are being hung, petitions are being signed and these cruel acts are being brought to the public’s eye of both homo -and hetero-sexual communities. I have singed plenty of petitions to help those who are being affected by these acts and hatred. Friends and family have also been equally as supportive. Imagine losing all of your rights, all of your love for yourself and above all losing you life. Here in the US, freedom has been fought for and earned on many levels. It is time we help others
do the same. People who do not understand or approve of homosexuality are entitled to their own opinion. But can a person sit back and honestly read, watch and hear about all of these acts of cruelty and honestly not feel anything? Putting aside all disagreements, people need to pull together now more than ever to help the LGTB community in Russia as well as those who are not homosexual but are suspected. Can we really sit back and watch children being taking from their homes and having their lives ruined by losing their parents or parent? Something needs to be done and coming together as one community is the perfect place to start.

Beating the “Freshman 15” BY RYAN MCLAUGHLIN Managing Editor
The rush of attending college as a freshman can be overwhelming. With this new experience comes a new sense of freedom that can become too much for some to handle. “For most of us, freshman year symbolizes the first time that we experience total independence,” Tori Lyde, senior elementary education major, said. The freshman-15 is a widely known problem that many students experience. Putting on those extra pounds can be a result from a number of things. Without parents or guardians being there to make sure the students “eat their veggies,” many take it as an opportunity to eat anything they want. This is the first obvious mistake. Taking responsibility for the choices being made is the first step in avoiding gaining those extra pounds. Although it may seem like common knowledge,
many don’t realize how dramatically food consumption can affect their physique. Let’s not play dumb. Most college students have a drink or four now and then. Alcohol combined with a poor diet makes the intense workout you just did rendered pretty much useless. According to an article published in Joe Weider’s Muscle & Fitness magazine, the empty calories in alcohol are damaging to a person’s physique. Food and lack of exercise put people in the hole and inch them closer to that dreaded weight gain. The sad reality is, even with a good workout everyday consuming alcohol can destroy much of the progress you would be making. There are very basic methods that if followed will help you not only prevent weight gain but improve your physique. There are many people who go to college and complain that it’s difficult to eat healthy when going to the cafe. The truth is these people just aren’t looking hard enough. No matter the night, there will always be something in the cafe to eat that is a healthy alternative to the french fries and cheese burgers. The dieting side of things is always a lot more difficult to manage because it’s a battle of instant gratification verses achieving a goal over an extended period.

Anie in Armenia A rising senior’s experience in a new and beautiful country, learning about a whole new culture and making furry new friends along the way.
ANIE JAMGOCHIAN Guest Writer
I am so thankful and blessed to have had the incredible opportunity to spend my summer in a place I could call home, Armenia. Through an organization called the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGB), I was able to spend six weeks in the land of my ancestors with 28 other interns where we lived together, took Armenian language lessons together, danced, sang, ate and experienced our culture together in a way we hadn’t before. We stayed in the city of Yerevan where we each were placed by AGBU to intern during the week. I am so grateful to have been placed to intern at the Yerevan Zoo, as I realized it is very special in the way that it is not like other zoos. Before the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) was
established in 2002, the zoo was instituted in 1940 by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Armenia. Unfortunately at this time, the animals were not well taken care of. When the FPWC took over, a lot of work was done to make changes for the animals’ well being with the aim to raise local and international awareness for the preservation of Armenia’s unique natural heritage. It implements environmental projects with the help of professionals in the fields of ecology, environmental law, and film making as well as tourism and regional development. Armenia is part of the Caucasus Biodiversity Hotspot, making it one of 34 regions worldwide defined by Conservation International as outstandingly important for the protection of the globe’s biodiversity. These 34 hotspots have lost at least 70% of its original natural vegetation and are under threat to lose what is left. Over 50 percent of the world’s plant species and 42 percent of all terrestrial vertebrate species are endemic to these hotspots, therefore, the protection of Armenia’s nature is of vital importance (FPWC). When the hands of the zoo were left to the FPWC, the animals were in poor condition and could neither be given to other zoos for care, because no paperwork had been kept, nor be sent back to their natural
habitats because they would not survive. The FPWC kept the zoo, making major adjustments in order to provide the animals with appropriate enclosures and habitats, as well as providing them with proper medical care needed. The FPWC also changed the overall atmosphere of the zoo from looking down on the animals and treating them as disposable, to educating visitors about how to properly care for them and of their importance to human life and to the Earth. The FPWC provides this through environmental education to children and youth, organizing environmental festivals and campaigns as well as other projects such as the production of documentaries on nature. I was very proud to work in a place where it was evident that everyone was doing their best to meet each animal’s needs and make a big impact in their lives. My job was simple, but a powerful experience. Each morning I cut up a variety of fruits and vegetables in order to make feeding rounds later in the day. I had the opportunity to feed llamas, alpacas, camels, a variety of goats, deer, horses, ponies, and the zebra. These animals helped me realize how close we are to them by allowing me to enter into their space, feed and even pet them! I will never forget the first time I walked into the llama enclosure. They all ran to me! At first I felt a little overwhelmed because I had
never experienced being with non-domesticated animals like this, but my partner gave me the O.K. and I suddenly dropped any fear I had and was filled with excitement and happiness. They were happy to see me! They brushed up against me and curiously looked at me, brushing up against my face. After this, I was on a mission to pet every animal I could, which I did! I was able to pet every animal I fed, except the zebra, who was a little more timid and shy. However, towards the end of the six weeks, he would come up closer to me as I filled his food bowl and I have to say, I am extremely proud of his courage! I know if I had been able to stay a little longer, he would have opened up to me and let me pet him. The act of petting animals, for me, is extremely special. The animals know we are very
different and don’t necessarily know my intentions; however, through patience, persistence, and kindness, they become open to me and allow me to connect with them in a very personal way. This is incredible. I can’t say I fully understand my friends at the zoo, but I can say we connected and certainly built a kind of friendship, the way I think God intended for His creation to have. I hope to incorporate some of what I learned through this wonderful experience in my Animal Lover Activist club and I am excited to see what we can learn, the changes we can make, and hopefully, impacts we can make as well.

Lifestyles looks to feature people in and around the Cabrini Community who have inspired and are still inspiring people today. An old memory that is being twisted this semester are little inspirational quotes that you can clip from the paper and hang in your dorm, leave in your wallet, put in a binder; anywhere you feel it will most reach you. Lifestyles wants to give you a
little something that will spruce up your day and put a little extra pep in your step. We are also looking to incorporate new ideas in the section that will be appealing and entertaining to you. Look for our new advice column, Ask Blue, where you can send anonymous letters on friendships, relationships, school work or anything you can think of! Although we will still be the same Lifestyles section, we want to please you, our readers. So help us turn up the heat. Who knows, you may open the paper and see a story on you.

Determination, Dedication, Hardwork JENNAROSE DIGIACOMO Lifestyles Editor
Growing up with six brothers and sisters tended to be a little much sometimes. So their father would always tell them to go play outside. “When I was little I played sports,” DiGiacomo said. “I would walk through the woods, go skiing, go camping, I was always going.” Sometimes playing outside would get old, and there would be down time. Robert DiGiacomo never wanted down time, he would constantly want to be doing something. When it would rain or DiGiacomo was bored, his father told him to go read a book, or a comic book, just something. “I hated to read when I was kid, couldn’t stand reading,” DiGiacomo said. “Until I was
“I read how to do it, I didn’t know how to write.” ROBERT DIGIACOMO
15 or 16 years old, my dad bought me a book called Cosmos.” The book was about the stars and the planets. It had talked about the history of men who had studied them. DiGiacomo began to read more non-fictional books. “But I would read encyclopedias whenever I went to the bathroom,” DiGiacomo said. “I would pick up random encyclopedias and I would just read them.” When he got older, he picked up a book called “Treasure” by Clive Cussler. It was about the Alexandrian Library. “I had read about the Alexandrian Library in the encyclopedia about Rome,” DiGiacomo said. Rome had stated that the library was lost. “I thought gee, wouldn’t that be an interesting book to read.” So he read the fiction book and loved it, he wanted to read more. As he began reading more and more, he started noticing that stories were overlapping and that there was too much repetition. “I thought, I like reading stories, I like telling stories,” DiGiacomo said. “Let me put two and two together and write my own book.” He never had a desire to go to college. So he didn’t go. But he was still focused on writing his own book. “I read how to do it, I didn’t know how to write,” DiGiacomo said. “I wrote without knowledge.” He wanted to write a story down, so he started writing
stories. At first he thought how hard could it be. “I later found out that you tend to write what’s in your head,” DiGiacomo said. “And when I put it on paper it did not make sense. After he wrote his story, he had people read the story. People would tell him that it needed to be more readable, and that it needed to flow better. “I was 22 or 23 at the time,” DiGiacomo said. “And by studying, and going to the library and bookstores, I would read books on how to write a book.” It finally clicked that he needed to stop reading the books, and actually start reading to understand the book. “I would read a line and try to figure out where it had come from,” DiGiacomo said. He had to figure out what thoughts he was going to put into his story that would make sense. He learned from reading a lot and writing a lot how to do it. “And I was able to take a story that was very complicated and create a beginning, a middle and end.” He was able to accomplish giving people edge of their seat excitement, as well as some thrills. “I wanted questions to arise in their minds, all by writing my story down for them to read,” DiGiacomo said. DiGiacomo owns his own construction business called Robert P. DiGiacomo builders. “We needed to eat,” DiGiacomo said. “You can’t make money writing, especially when I didn’t know how to write.” In the ‘90s big-time writers popped out. “I’m just to late,” DiGiacomo said. “I didn’t learn how to write until after the ‘90s.” He loves to read, he loves telling stories. “My motivation was to put all my stories that I created in my head, and put them all together,” DiGiacomo said. “I made one complete novel of them that everyone can read and enjoy.” A lot of the stories in the book are true. A lot of them happened to Robert in his life, while other parts in the story are fictitious. “A lot of the scenes are from homes I had worked on, or buildings I was in,” DiGiacomo said. “I got to work in Independence Mall and I was able to pull stories from there that others couldn’t see.” Majority of the characters in the book are real people, he has seen, met and heard of. His hope is to have more people read his book. “I like talking about it with other people,” DiGiacomo said. “I like hearing what people think.” DiGiacomo’s book is called “The Boxed Angel.” The story is about espionage, history and an ancient artifact that can save the world. “I have no aspirations to become a number one selling author,” DiGiacomo said. “I get pure joy out of others asking me questions, telling me about it and just overall talking about it.” JD836@CABRINI.EDU

Cabrini alumna steps out into the music world JENNAROSE DIGIACOMO Lifestyles Editor
At a young age, she learned from her father who was a talented singer and bass player. But as time progressed one young girl found what she truly loved, that was singing and the acoustic guitar. Alumna Cole Campbell graduated from Cabrini College in 2006. “I feel like I had ties to Cabrini,” Campbell said. “I had been there a bunch of times and had faces and places I was familiar with.” Cole began her Cabrini career as a sports science major but found it just wasn’t for her. Cole graduated from Cabrini with an education degree. Before Cabrini was a thought, in her senior year of high school, Cole and her friend entered into the talent show, where they sung and played guitar to Jewel and the Cranberries. “Singing was not so much a dream, but a talent I possessed,” Campbell said. From then on, Campbell began to write and sing her own songs. Cole released her first album this past spring, titled “Moments Passing By.” “I wish I selected my songs based on a theme or single element,” Campbell said, “but they are all individual experiences, a story of love, passion, happiness, seduction and violence.” Her family and friends were with her every step of the way. “I feel very proud,” husband Matt Campbell said. “Cole put so much time and energy into this album, I am
in awe of what she is able to accomplish.” For over 10 years her husband has listened to her music. He was never able to describe what it is about her music that captivated him, until one time. “It was Memorial Day weekend, and she was performing at a local venue,” Campbell said. “The town was pretty quiet, but Cole ran a speaker outside, and within minutes had a crowd coming off the streets.” “I did it with the help of my family, my friends, and friends I met through the recording process,” Campbell said. “Finishing this CD was a huge milestone for me to jump.” JD836@CABRINI.EDU3

Helping you understand the world of physical fitness and healthy nutrition BY: NICHOLAS CIPOLLONE Sports Editor
In today’s society it seems like it is more important than ever before to exercise and eat healthy. Here at The Loquitur we are going to educate you on different exercises that you can do to lose weight, and put on muscle. Every issue we will feature a different exercise and explain to you how to do it, the benefits, and what muscles it will engage. In addition to teaching you the exercise movements, we will be educating you on what you eat, as well as how to eat. You may be thinking, “I learned how to eat when I was a baby, you just chew food.” That is true but, what you’re eating can make your body either react in a positive or negative way. We will feature a food or the week and a nutrient of the week. In this first issue we have a special feature on what a calorie is, a reference to how many calories you should eat, and caloric values of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

What do you think a calorie is? BY: NICHOLAS CIPOLLONE Sports Editor
“That has so many calories!” “How many calories are in that?” The real question that everyone wants to know is, “what is a calorie?” A calorie is nothing more than a unit that we use to measure energy. A calorie can be defined as the amount of energy or heat it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degrees Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, when it comes to food, 1,000 calories are actually one kilocalorie. For example, if a can of soda is 150 calories, it has 150,000 regular calories, or 150 kilocalories. So, when we say calories we are really talking about kilocalories. As humans we need fuel, or energy to

Above is an example of different foods that you should eat on a daily basis into glycerol and fatty acids, and proteins into amino acids. They are then transported into the blood stream and to the cells, where they are either used instantly or are stored for
60 to 70 percent of your calories burned in a day. Physical activity is the second highest number of calories burned and is any type of moving around. Every calorie that you burn is based off of your body weight. The third caloric need factor is the thermic effect of food. This refers to the amount of energy that your body uses to break down food into its basic elements in order to use them. If you go over or under your caloric need for the day it can add or lose body fat. 3,500 extra calories equal one pound of body fat. Now that you know what a calorie is, you can use this information to better understand the foods that you are eating.

Each gram of carbohydrates and protein are four calories, and fats are nine calories. live. The way that we get this energy is through food. Think about it this way, our bodies “burn” calories. Everything you eat has three macro nutrients, or building blocks that humans use as an energy source, carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Each gram of carbohydrates and protein are four calories, and fats are nine calories. When you know how many grams of each macro nutrient, you can use these numbers to tell how many calories, are in the food you are eating. In other words, how much energy is in what you are eating? Human break down these energy sources in different ways. Carbohydrates break down into glucose, or sugar, fats are broken down
later use. For example, if you take a serving of peanut butter it says there is 220 calories total, 16 grams of fat, 10 grams of carbohydrates, and eight grams of protein. This means there is 144 calories from fat, 40 calories from carbohydrates, and 32 calories from protein. This totals 216 calories which the food companies round up to 220. There are three factors that tell you what your caloric needs are for one day, basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and thermic effect of food. Basal metabolic rate or BMR is simply the amount of calories you need to have your organ function with no exercise and it about

NFL.com’s preseason power rankings BY: NICHOLAS CIPOLLONE Sports Editor
Football season is almost upun us and everyone wants to know, who is your preseason pick for Super Bowl XLVIII? Going into the second week of the preseason, Elliot Harrison released his power rankings on NFL.com on Aug. 13. There will most likely be an update on this after the preseason is over but, we will discuss the top five and where they stand at the moment. Harrison has the San Francisco 49ers as number one. They have had multiple injuries and a lot of questions in their defensive secondary with the first-round draft pick Eric Reid from LSU. Losing Dashon Goldson to Tampa Bay and Chris Culliver tearing his ACL in training camp there is no guarantee on how good their secondary will be. Looking at the end of last season, if their pass rush is not stellar then their secondary has a hard time picking up the slack. At number two Harrison has
the Denver Broncos. Broncos are a strong favorite this year to make it to the Super Bowl, despite the aging Peyton Manning. Broncos lost a key player in their offence, center Dan Koppen, to a torn ACL and he is out for the season. Koppen is not a star player, but he is a veteran and can handle changes that Manning would make at the line and maintain chemistry. Trying to fill his shoes, Broncos are bringing in Ryan Lilja from the Kansas City Chiefs. Enough about centers, this team’s relies on Manning and his strong receiving core of Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Eric Decker. Number three goes to the Seattle Seahawks. Seahawks lost Percy Harvin to a small tear in his labrum in his hip and has already had surgery. Seahawks are hopeful that Harvin will be back in the lineup by Thanksgiving. On the defensive side of the ball, Seahawks have a strong defensive end in the form of Bruce Irvin, but need
to get Chris Clemons back, but he needs to be healthy. The player to watch on this team is Doug Baldwin. It looks as though Baldwin will be Russel Wilson’s primary target without Harvy. Atlanta Falcons are ranked fourth. Falcons’ main concern is the middle of their defensive line, and defending the rush. Toward the end of last season, they let up over 100 rushing yards in the playoffs. They are looking to get veteran Richard Seymour, but at the moment cannot come to an agreement with their shrinking salary cap, after resigning Matt Ryan on a five-year, $103.75 million contract. Seymour could be a good fit and aid Falcons in their hope of making it to the Super Bowl. Rounding out the top five is the Houston Texans. Texans acquired rookie DeAndre Hopkins from Clemson with their first round pick. Looking at the AFC south they should have no problems tak-
ing it. Looking at the AFC as a whole their only competition are the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. With the Patriots passing game in question, and Broncos losing their center, it looks like the Texans have a chance to take the division. Rounding out the top 10 are the Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers, Patriots and Washington Redskins. Preseason rankings are always interesting to look at, and you never know what will actually happen until the season starts.

Philadelphia Phillies are still playing for people who haven’t noticed. The big news of Charlie Manuel being fired was an interesting move on the part of Ruben Amaro Jr. This was following the Phillies losing 19 of their last 23 games prior to the decision and on track for their first losing record since 2002. Amaro brought in Ryan Sandberg, an ex-major leaguer and spent two seasons at AAA Lehigh Valley and was Minor League manager of the year in 2011 by Baseball America. Sandberg has an impressive resume coming into the position and will have 42 games to prove him to the Phillies organization. On the other hand, the Phillies are adding much needed youth to their roster. With six September call-ups including, Cameron Rupp, Cesar Hernandez, and Cody Asche, the Phillies are giving a sneak peak into the future of the team. There are two more minor leaguers still looking to make their debut. 21 year old, third base prospect, Maikel Franco, is hitting .320 with 36 doubles, 31 homeruns, and 103 RBIs in 134 games in A and AA levels of play. 20-year-old right-handed pitcher Serevino Gonzales won the 2013 Paul Owens award as the Minor League Player of the Year ad Pitcher of the Year. Gonzales went 7-5 with a 2.00 ERA in 14 starts in A and AA levels of play. The Phillies have also signed Chase Utley to a two-year $27 million deal. This will lock up the second base position for at least the time of his contract. Ryan Howard is not likely to return for the rest of the season after having left knee surgery. The Phillies also traded Michael Young to the Dodgers for 24 year-old left-handed pitchers Rob Rasmussen. Luckily for the Phillies, rising All-Star Dominic Brown is cleared to pinch hit after undergoing an MRI on his Achilles. One of the most pleasant surprises this season is Darin Ruf. He is the first Phillies rookie to hit nine homeruns in a month since Howard in 2005. Ruf is hitting .254 with 11 home runs and 20 RBIs in 48 games this season. The future is looking bright for the Phillies even though they are losing many of the players that were a part of their 2008 World Series campaign. This team is headed in the right direction and will be a pleasure to watch in the future. NCC36@CABRINI.EDU

Field Hockey 1-1 after weekend trip to Drew University BY: NICHOLAS CIPOLLONE Sports Editor
Cabrini College’s Field Hockey team stands at 1-1 after this weekend’s Drew University Fall Festival. Lady Cavs lost their season opener to Swarthmore College in overtime. With less than four minutes to go in the contest Swarthmore scored to level the score at three. Swarthmore scored just eight minutes into extra time to secure a 4-3 win over the Cavs. Looking to redeem themselves, Cavaliers were matched up against the Lebanon Valley College Dutchman on the last day of the festival. Cavaliers struck early, in the 18th minute
junior Taylor Carroll score the first goal of the match with the assist going to senior Erin McLaughlin. Dutchman struck back in the 26th minute where the score remained tied until the half. Sophomore Kerry Anne Farrell took advantage of a mistake from the Dutchman’s goaltender and scored in the third minute of the second half. The Dutchman did not give up as they evened the score soon after Farrell’s goal. Just over minute later Blue and White struck again, this time it was sophomore Jen Webb, who scored unassisted. Cavaliers extended their lead to 4-2 when Farrell scored another goal this time with a feed from junior Karlie
Gruccio. Cavs held the score at 4-2 until the Dutchman broke through in the 66 minute. Dutchman continued to pound away at the Cavaliers’ defense, but to no avail, as the Cavs held on in the end to secure their first win of the season. Although being out shot 23-10, Cavaliers’ senior goaltender Genevive Paulin was up to the task recording four saves on the day. The Caviliers will come home to Edith Robb Dixon Field for their home opener, Wednesday, Sept. 4 to face No. 14 Rowan University at 6:30 p.m.
