This past August in Washington D.C. Cabrini College’s Professor of communications Catherine Yungmann presented the senior communication class of 2013’s convergence site “Arab Awakening: A view from the Inside” at the AEJMC 2013 Graduate Student Info Expo. Their creation won four National awards.

Two sub groups under the association of Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) is the international association of professors of communication presented us with awards as well as two other associations.

• The Small Program Interest Group (SPIG) o First prize in the Scholarship of Application Competition for my submission of the course and resulting site as “A Prototype for Global Student Journalism: Covering Conflict Without Going There.” This competition revolves around the best ideas linking academic interests and skills to a broader audience • Another award from AEJMC came from the Teaching Committee o Recognized the inventive integration of technology-based pedagogy involved in the creation of the web site/eBook in the Communication Department capstone The Arab Awakening: A View from the Inside. That Teaching Committee wrote, “On behalf of the AEJMC Teaching Committee, I’m pleased to inform you that your entry for the 2013 Best Practices in Teaching With Tools and Technologies has been awarded second place in our annual competition.

• 2013 Communicator Award of Distinction in the Student Website category given by the International Academy of Visual Arts • College Media Association (CMA) Pinnacle Award for Best Multimedia Feature Presentation

The site YouthVoicesRise.com was made in April 2012. These students spent a year studying the Arab Spring Revolution. This took place in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt. This convergence team was made of thirteen seniors Felicia Melvin, Alyssa Mentzer, Liz Scopelliti, Meghan Mcsloy, Holly Prendergast, Jamie Santoro, Elizabeth Krupka, Danielle Alio, Kelsey Kastrava, Justin Sillner, Chris Sarvadi, Nick Guldin and Daniele Mclaughlin.

Through a unique partnership with The American University in Cairo, Cabrini College students communicated with graduate political science students in

“What we accomplished was truly groundbreaking.”

CATHY YOUNGMANN

Egypt as events were happening in Tahrir Square during 2012. Using social media, Cabrini College students also connected with journalists and photographers covering the events.

The videos, photos, graphics and stories on the site are the original reporting of Cabrini students. Skype and email interviews with Dr. Pandeli Glavanis and his students in Cairo, their friends in Egypt, young journalists & photographers in the Middle East & US, a professor in Lebanon, American NGO employees working in the Middle East and even an Egyptian-American who recently graduated from Cabrini College made it possible to make Arab Awakening: A View form the Inside.

“The Cabrini students really did extraordinary work. They did original reporting at a great distance across continents and oceans and where able to report first hand with the young people in Egypt about the hopes for their future.” said Yungmann. The students had to learn about the Middle East, Islam and the evolution of religion and politics and how closely they are untied in the Middle East. “This was a big learning curve for students because in the United States religion and politics are not as closely aligned as they are in the Middle East” said Yungmann.

“What we accomplished was truly ground breaking” said Yungmann.

There where 2500 journalist educators at the convention. “Every educator and advisor that was from all over the world where blown away by the impressive work that the Cabrini students have” said Yungmann.

The first thing this group had to overcome was the imitative atmosphere of talking to people from different parts of the world and establishing a connection with them. The second was the research and information they had to learn about the Middle East so that they could ask intelligent questions. The first was the structure of the site, deciding who would make what media and making deadlines so that it would be finished by the primer date.

“This site tells stories of discontent caused by decades of political autocracy, documents the political awakening as young people revolted, and presents their hopes for lives in the aftermath of political upheaval.” said Yungmann.

Editorial Laundry fees compared: Is Cabrini paying too much?

THURSDAY SEPT. 12, 2013

Over the summer Cabrini annoucned that our laundry will no longer be free of charge. Each semester, we will now have to pay $75 for this service. Overall, the students have not been happy with this decision.

An email from Residence Life on behalf of Dean Stroud was sent out on July 8, 2013 informing students living on campus that due to “the steadily rising costs of equipment and utilities, ... all resident students will be assessed a $75 per semester laundry fee.” Included in the email was the information that this option was the alternate to installing more costly coin or card operated laundry machines. It also stated that this fee would automatically be added to each student’s housing bill each semester. Needless to say, students were not pleased.

No one ever likes being charged more money, so it’s clear that no matter the situation, an additional fee wouldn’t go over well with the students. However, many of these complaints are not unfounded. Many believe the fee to be excessively expensive in comparison to what other schools pay. We here at the Loquitur took it upon ourselves to see what some other schools in the state are paying for their laundry. We found that Eastern, Villanova and Penn State Berks pay a total of $2 for every load they do. Moravian College’s machines charge $2.50 total.

University of the Sciences and Millersville University pay a total of $2.75 for every load.

Finally, Temple pays a total of $3 for every load done on campus.

Though these schools’ prices vary, the same question comes to mind for all of them: Are they still cheaper than the $75 per

semester flat rate at Cabrini? It all depends on how many loads each person does, but if you estimated that a normal student does one load per week, even with Temple’s $3 rates, that only comes out to a total of $45 a semester, $30 less than Cabrini’s flat rate.

Granted, every person is different, but logi-

It’s easy to say that the decision to charge for laundry at Cabrini was never going to be a likeable one.

cally, you can really only wear so many clothes in one week. After knowing these numbers, is the new laundry fee really practical? That’s a decision that will have to be left up to the students and faculty.

The actual price is not the only problem students have with the fee however. Many

upperclassmen have stated that they are upset because they were told laundry would be free upon coming to Cabrini and was one of the reasons they chose to attend. Some have even indicated that they believe that if there needs to be a fee, let it be imposed on the new students, since the upperclassmen were originally told their laundry would be free.

Another large reason for students’ frustration is that many students who live on campus and have their families’ homes close by. This results in students doing a majority of their laundry while at home. Many of these students have admitted to doing their laundry at home almost every time they need to do laundry. Now, these students are being charged for laundry they are not even doing in Cabrini machines.

These are the larger problems that have come to our attention, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t others. Regardless, it’s easy to say that the decision to charge for laundry at Cabrini was never going to be a likeable one. But are enough people asking why this decision was made? Everyone was upset by it, but do they know the reasons behind the need for money for laundry? In a time where staff is being cut, fees are being imposed and positions are being combined, are people asking enough questions about their school and their tuition?

* These amounts were calculated with the estimation that a regular student does a single (1) load of laundry a week.

THURSDAY SEPT. 12, 2013

Creig Doyle is ready to make a difference in the Cabrini community, as well as developing the relationship between public safety and the rest of campus.

BY GREGORY SMITH News Editor

A new face can be seen around campus and in Public Safety.

C r e i g Doyle, the new director of Public Safety, is excited to begin his

career at Cabrini this year.

“I realized I wasn’t ready for retirement,” Doyle said. “I felt like I had a lot more to contribute.”

Doyle is no novice in the area of public safety and law enforcement. He has over 40 years of experience in most aspects of law enforcement, including alcohol countermeasures, VIP/dignitary protection and campus law enforcement. Doyle also boasts an impressive education and training background, graduating from the FBI National Academy, a U.S. Secret Service Dignitary Protection seminar and an FBI

Law Enforcement Executive Development program. Doyles’ previous work experiences at Carnegie Mellon University and Plymouth State University have also given him the experience of working in a college environment.

“My goal is to use the skills and training I’ve had to help promote a safe and educated community here at Cabrini,” Doyle

things the students use most as convenient as possible.”

Doyle is also very passionate about what he does, and wants the people he works with to be the same way.

“I want to hire people who want to be here at Cabrini.” Doyle said. “I want to hire people who hold themselves to a high standard of excellence.”

“I’m ready to make a difference here.”

CREIG DOYLE

said. “ I want to do everything I can to achieve that.”

Doyle also gave some insight into some immediate goals he has for this year.

“My number one goal this year is to fill the vacant positions in public safety as soon as possible, particularly shuttle drivers.” Doyle said. “Shuttle drivers directly affect the students, and I want to make

Doyle is also very excited about one idea in particular: a Residence Hall Liaison program. This program, adopted from a program at the University of Delaware, would create a closer community within residence halls and that halls public safety officer.

“The goal of this program is to have public safety officers work closely with

RA’s and Area Coordinators so that students in the residence halls become more comfortable talking to public safety officers and getting to know them on a better level.” Doyle said. “By doing this, I hope to establish a more comfortable relationship between the residents and public safety.”

Doyle is extremely excited about beginning his time here at Cabrini and about campus life.

“The campus here is just beautiful,” Doyle said. “Just coming in for the first time, I thought it was a gorgeous spot.”

When asked about campus life, Doyle was very eager to answer.

“I want to be involved as much as possible.” Doyle said. “I used to be a lane timer for swim meets. Hopefully I can get the chance to do that here for Cabrini’s swim team.”

Overall, Doyle cannot wait to get the year going and to get to know Cabrini and everything it has to offer.

“I’m so thrilled to be here.” Doyle said.

“I’m ready to make a difference here.”

George Zimmerman trial events recapped A step by step recap of the events of the Zimmerman trial and the key testimonies that led to the verdict

BY GREGORY SMITH News Editor

This summer, America waited in anticipation for a verdict that would have people talking for months.

The trial of George Zimmerman and the events that transpired during his altercation with Trayvon Martin reached its pinnacle in late June and early July as prosecutors carefully questioned Zimmerman and other witnesses involved in the case.

“We are confident that at the end of this trial you will know in your head, in your heart, in your stomach that George Zimmerman did not shoot Trayvon Martin because he had to,” prosecutor John Guy said. “He shot him for the worst of all reasons, because he wanted to.”

The prosecution claims that Zimmerman had profiled the teenager because of his race, and then against police orders, followed him and then killed him. However, the defense claims that Zimmerman had used his firearm in self-defense and that Trayvon Martin had knocked Zimmerman to the ground and then began assaulting him and beating his head into the cement sidewalk.

Then the case began to develop more as witnesses began to be questioned.

Rachel Jeantel, the 19 year-old friend of Martin was the first witness to testify.

Jeantel testified that she was on the phone with Martin right before the shooting took place and claims she hears Martin say, “Why are you following me for? Get off, get off.”

George Zimmerman’s neighbor, John Good, was questioned next. Good testifies that he saw Martin on top of Zimmerman throwing punches. However, he also said he could not tell if it was Zimmerman or Martin calling for help, nor did he actually see any of the punches connect.

Next, Martins mother and father testifies. Martins

George Zimmerman stands when the jury arrives to deliver the verdict on July 13, 2013 mother, Sybrina Fulton, says that the screaming coming from the 911 call was her son. Martins father, Tracy Martin, was asked whether the voice on the 911 call was his son, he turned away and under his breath, said no. The

“He shot him for the worst of all reasons, because he wanted to.”

JOHN GUY

prosecution says it might have just been a denial of his son’s death.

On July 9, Dr. Vincent DiMaio, the former chief medical examiner in San Antonio, Texas, testifies that the trajectory of the bullet and the traces of gunpowder are

consistent with Zimmerman’s claim that Martin was over him and leaning forward at the time Martin was shot.

Dennis Root, a public safety consultant called by the defense, testifies that martin was probably in better shape than Zimmerman. During the cross-examination, the prosecution uses a foam dummy to demonstrate the difficulty Zimmerman would have had reaching his gun with Martin on top of him, which was the claim of the defense. However, Root later agreed with the defense team that Zimmerman could have probably reached around Martin to get his gun.

The court was notified that George Zimmerman would not testify, and the jury was sent away to talk and come up with a verdict.

BREAKING NEWS In a rare prime time presidential address on Tuesday, September 10, President Obama announced his decision to respond to the chemical attack in Syria with a targeted military strike. “After careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike,” Obama said.

Obama continued to say, “The purpose of this strike would be to deter Assad from using chemical weapons, to degrade his regime’s ability to use them and to make clear to the world that we will not tolerate their use. That’s my judgment as commander in chief.”

Obama knows that the nation is concerned with this strike being a repeat of events that happened in Iraq or Afghanistan. He addressed this issue as well during this presidential address. “I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria. I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan. I will not pursue a prolonged air campaign like Libya or Kosovo. This would be a targeted strike to achieve a clear objective: deterring the use of chemical weapons and degrading Assad’s capabilities.”

Obama ended his address asking for support from both members of congress and the American people.

What does the tuition freeze really mean for Cabrini students? two years. They are on duty round the clock and work so very hard for their residents without a lot of recognition.

Their meal plans were reduced at the beginning of last year as well. They put all their time and effort into this job and don’t even get a meal a day unless they want to pay extra.

Aside from these cutbacks, we are also getting nickeled and dimed for everything. Prices keep going up in Jazzman’s and Sandella’s. We suddenly have to pay $150 a year for laundry. Where did this come from? That was one of Cabrini’s selling points for me. Most of the schools I looked at made you pay for laundry, either in an up-front

BY ANONYMOUS Guest Writer

In November of 2012, Cabrini announced it would freeze tuition and fees for the 2013-2014 school year and they pledged to keep tuition below $30,000 through May 2015.

Ideally, that sounds terrific.. Our tuition prices will remain below 30k until after I graduate and my mountain of student loans (hopefully) won’t get much larger than I anticipate it will. My parents aren’t paying for my schooling. They helped but I still have more than my share of student loans waiting for me when I graduate that are just continuing to earn interest. But can we take that at face value?

Last school year, our school cut back on public safety.

They do not sit desk in the dorms anymore. As a freshman and sophomore, it was comforting seeing a smiling face on desk at midnight when I was going to bed or when I was heading to my early morning practice. RAs don’t sit desk either. It is instead a work study student who doesn’t know who lives in what dorm and, in most cases, they don’t care either. They are getting paid to do their homework.

The RAs have so much more responsibility these past

“... it was comforting seeing a smiling face on desk at midnight when I was going to bed or when I was heading to my early morning practice.”

fee or with quarters for every wash. That is something that all the admissions workers advertise because I know they believe it to be a simple perk the school has to offer. With how high tuition costs are, it was one less thing to worry about. I find myself doing laundry all the time now to try and get my money’s worth. Not to mention we are paying to use unreliable washers and dryers. Sometimes the washers don’t drain and other times the dryer cycles

don’t fully dry the clothing.

Last year, our president got a shiny new home worth $2 million dollars. This “Cabrini house” had all the fixings and was supposedly open to all Cabrini students. Yet I couldn’t tell you where the house is located, nor could a good portion of my friends. How does a college president convince the school to build her a multi-million dollar home? If it’s that easy, maybe I should change career paths and work towards being a president. The house got less than a year of use. Now our interim president is putting the house up for sale. Is our tuition just spent for no reason other than it is burning a whole in someone’s pocket?

Plenty of the student body gripes about not knowing where our tuition money goes for a plethora of reasons but I think this takes the cake. A good amount of money was wasted and now students are suffering more and more. We are either lacking in areas we feel to be important or we have new expenses to pay for things that were cheaper or no cost at all previously.

Maybe I’m just naive or maybe this bothers more people than just myself, but I don’t believe much other positives have come out of the announcement from the tuition freeze other than the initial excitement about it. If anything, I think I’d rather gripe about the costs of school than about prices rising and things being cut elsewhere.

Are racial slurs more severe than physical abuse?

BY RACHEL ANTUZZI Perspectives Editor

The biggest news all summer was the use of the N word. Riley Cooper got drunk at a country summer kickoff concert and verbally fought with a security guard then proceeded to say he would fight every _____ in the place. Do I agree with or condone the use of such language? No. Should Cooper be fined and a marked man in the NFL because he called someone a name? No. In relation to Cooper’s incident, the media has compared this to Paula Deen admitting to have said the N word decades ago. No one takes into account that that’s how she was raised and it was socially acceptable to talk about African Americans in such a derogatory manner at that time. Even after apologizing for using the N word, she was dropped from her network and several of her contracts were terminated. People commented that Cooper wasn’t punished severely enough in comparison. But to be honest, I believe that Deen was punished too severely.

Our society is backwards in the way we think. Riley Cooper’s comment was out of drunken frustration. He would not have said that had he had a clear mind.

Paula Deen has grown as a person and wouldn’t use such language now but she

was honest about having said it in her past. Both individuals apologized several times over for what they had said, yet no one can move on.

It isn’t illegal to use foul language in any setting. It is demeaning, distasteful and immoral, but not illegal. It is one thing to not forgive the use of the word because of your personal views. It is another thing entirely to continuously punish someone for a mistake.

If our society believes that individuals who wrong their fellow man should be severely punished, why doesn’t everyone receive the same treatment?

In 2009, Chris Brown threatened to kill his girlfriend, then brutalized her with his own hands. So badly so, that the police that arrived on scene rushed her to the hospital without waiting for the ambulance to arrive. She had handprints on her arms and neck and her eye was swollen shut. His punishment was 1,000 hours of community service which he has yet to complete four years later.

Not many people can even tell me what his sentencing was, but they can tell me what his latest single is. If you were to google his name, nothing on the first five pages of results even hints towards him abusing Rihanna.

I will never understand how this incident wasn’t publicized nearly as much as Deen or Riley’s racial slurs. Brown broke the law and got away with a slap on the wrist. Society forgave him and women would still sell their souls to be with him for just one night.

Earlier this summer, three women and a child were rescued from a Cleveland home after being held captive for a decade. He raped and abused the women, and if it weren’t for the help of a passerby, they might still be in that hell. After less than four months in jail, Castro committed suicide.

People don’t talk about this anymore.

Yet it has been several months since Deen

TWITTER.COM/MARCUS VICK

Eagles quarterback, Michael Vick’s brother had more than enough to say about Riley Cooper’s use of foul language. Michael Vick publicly stated that he doesn’t agree with his brother’s view and has accepted his teammate’s apology.

and Riley’s incidents and apologies but people still have plenty to say about it.

Where are our priorities? Why is it more newsworthy to hear about someone calling another person a bad name that it is to hear about someone getting attacked by another human being?

We as a society need to put on our big kid panties and grow up! They called someone a name, big whoop. It wasn’t nice, but they were apologetic and reprimanded for their actions. Move on. There are so many more serious events going on in the world that society doesn’t want to look at, so we put all our energy into trivial kindergarten problems.

If people are going to get their panties in a bunch about name calling, the change should start with them. If African

Americans stopped making it socially acceptable to say the N word, people wouldn’t use it nearly as often as they do now. End of story. But you hear it in every other rap song and they call one another it as a term of endearment. The whole do as I say, not as I do barely works for children so why try to make it work for adults?

Obama campaigned for his ok of an air strike over Syria, but headlining news in the local papers this past weekend was whether or not Riley Cooper’s scuffle with a teammate had anything to do with his racist comment. Am I the only one who sees a problem here?

Experiencing and identifying faith at World Youth Day

BY SE’QUIA BAILEY Lifestyles Editor

Learning how to be open and completely vulnerable with one self is a strong test of faith. Two Cabrini students Mariel Delacruz and Jennifer Persia discovered this summer the true depths of their faith during their participation with World Youth Day. "Father Carl approached me and said we really want to send someone," Persia said. "He said we have the opportunity to go so why not." World Youth Day is an opportunity to bring youth from all over the world to encounter their faith with the pope. It is celebration that welcomes all young people interested in developing a relationship with Jesus.

Delacruz and Persia went to Mexico for two days where they visited the shrine of Guadalupe and shrine of our lady of sorrow for faith development and a preparation for what they needed before going to Rio Dejinero, Brazil. "We also met with a priest who talked about the youth of Mexico city," Delacruz said. "And how they come to him and the church to keep themselves from bad vibes and crime."

"Mariel and I were the only ones outside of our diocese participating however we were welcomed with opened arms" Persia said. Amongst those in the group 32 of them participated and represented the diocese of Harrisburg. Together Persia explains that there were about 3 million youth from all over the world.

World Youth Day is something that happens every three years. This years theme was "Go and make disciples of all nations." Persia explains that it was originally for the pope to speak and fellowship with the youth in the Catholic faith.

Being of the Catholic faith this trip meant a lot to Persia. "Hearing from the highest power of the church and having experienced mass with him was utterly amazing" Persia said.

This trip gave her a lot of perspective and insight as she enters her senior year.

"For me it is just putting everything together," Persia said.

The trip was definitely an eye-opener for Persia in deepening her spirituality and relationship with Jesus. "I want to figure out how to incorporate this experience in my life," Persia said.

"Spiritually, I have grown deeper in my faith and seeing others and how they

practice makes me want a deeper relationship with God" Persia said.

Although both ladies experienced the same trip, their inner experiences were different. For sophomore Mariel Delacruz, it was about discovering her faith.

"My mom practiced the religion," Delacruz said. "But she doesn't really practice it anymore." For Delacruz this trip was about finding, identifying and accepting faith. Something Delacruz would discover once she isolated herself from her daily distractions: family, friends, electronics and social media.

"We were at the beach staying overnight and I remember just sitting on the sand for four hours not speaking to anyone" Delacruz said. She recalls the very moment that she identified her passion for her faith was during that four hour reflection on the beach. "I didn't think about the church or the church as a unit," Delacruz said.

"You have to find faith in you before you find it in a group of people."

It was during this moment that Delacruz realized that her faith was not strong and she doubted her faith and where she stood with God. "I felt like a completely new person after that experience," Delacruz said. "I believe God and I want to consult with myself and be fully aware of my faith."

Overwhelmed with a sense of joy and acceptance Delacruz brightens up about what that moment felt like. "I would describe that moment as solidarity," Delacruz said. "The experience is not easy to describe it's something that you have to live to really know."

World Youth Day really allowed both Delacruz and Persia to understand the depths of their faith. Persia explains that everyone who participates in World Youth Day were on different levels spiritually. "Examining faith for yourself and growing deeper in your beliefs and understanding how that connect with your life," Persia said.

Faith was about more than trusting in God for these ladies. It was about taking that inner trust and the trust they have in God and discovering their place and roles in society. It was about reconsidering who they are and what they wanted to be. As Persia describes it "the key step in identifying faith is understanding where you are and where you want to be in your faith."

ASK Blue

THURSDAY SEPT. 12, 2013

Don’t just sit there, play hockey!

Hey Cabrini Family, My name is Royal Blue but everyone calls me Blue.

Excuse the appearance of my art you see above, currently it is under construction until we get a better design for my new section. But on another note, from what I’ve been told we haven’t gotten any responses yet for the ASK Blue column. If you don’t mind I was quite teary eyed when I didn’t see any letters from any of the Cabrini family.

I can only do my job if you, the Cabrini family write me asking questions or sharing your concerns. I’m here to give you the best possible advice that I can, as you know I’m not a professional, so please don’t take what I say to heart, but I am here to be a listening ear. And from my friends on the LOQuitur staff, they are here for you to speak and for us to listen.

Everyone’s voice should be heard, no matter what.

For example, my friend used to attend Cabrini. She went here for two years and then transferred this year to CCP (Community College of Philadelphia. She was quite nervous about her first day last week especially since she wouldn’t know anyone and that she wouldn’t see her friends like she did at Cabrini. I told her not to worry, that this is just another stepping stone, if your open to new things, and open to meeting new people then you will be find. I told her were only a phone call away, and she basically has been at Cabrini every weekend since she started classes.

If your new to reading my column, don’t worry I’ll explain what to do if you’ve already read my column that’s fine to, you may have forgotten. So here is how my job works. You send me an email to royal.blue902@gmail.com with the subject “Dear Blue.”

Then I will read about your situation, it could be about a relationship, school problems, or issues with friends; almost anything!

I must ask you though to keep things rated PG-13 or else I won’t be able to publicly respond to you. I mean I do want to hear you out but this is not meant to expose people, just a way to understand a different perspective on things. Please disguise any names that you may use so that way it will be easy to respond to.

Well what are you waiting for…? Send those emails!

Yours truly, Blue

Ever since Brad was three years old, the game of hockey has been his passion. His love for hockey started when he attended his older brother’s ice hockey game for the first time.

From that day on he was always seen with a hockey stick in his hand. His computer history was flooded with hockey links as well as hockey videos. When he wasn’t in school or doing his homework, you could find Brad in his basement playing the sport that he loved.

“I would be cooking dinner and I would hear him commentating his every move, as if he was playing in the NHL,” Brad’s mother, Karin said.

Not a day went by that Brad didn’t pick up his stick, he was committed to the game MIKE of hockey. There was only one problem, Brad was born with Cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. Everyday tasks that seem simple are difficult for him. Brad knew that he wasn’t the same as everyone else.

He knew he was special. In gym class, Brad would always get distraught when the other kids didn’t pick him for their hockey team. He would always be the last pick but what kids didn’t realize was that he was the best pick. He dreamed of playing in the NHL when he grew up, but he came to the realization that he would never be able to actually play in a league. But that never stopped him from playing. Brad and his friends played every Saturday and Sunday at the park in his neighborhood.

His friends would have play on roller blades to keep up with Brad’s electric wheelchair.

“It could be 30 degrees out and Brad would still call me and tell me to meet him at the rinks,” Brad’s friend, Mike said. “He never let anything get in the way of his passion.”

Brad is now 15 years old and his passion for hockey is even stronger. When his freshman year in high school came to an end, Brad already had his summer plans. Hockey, Monday through Sunday. Brad loved to play hockey with his friends, but he rather play with his older brother. His brother John is 22 years old and is about to graduate college. John saw

the passion his brother had for the sport and always felt bad that he couldn’t experience the game in person. Along with working ten hours a day, five days a week, John and his friend Joey started a Wheelchair hockey league in their hometown.

Brad was unaware that his brother was putting this league together for him.

On July 15th John woke Brad up around 9AM. While Brad was getting ready for breakfast, John was laying out Brad’s new hockey jersey.

“I wanted the moment to be special, this was his first hockey jersey with his own name on the back,” John said At first Brad was confused when he saw a hockey jersey with his name on it, sitting at his spot at the table. After a few minutes the confusion turned to smiles and the smiles turned to tears. Brad could not believe that he was finally going to play the game he loved.

The league was set up at their local YMCA and was offered to anyone who was confined to a wheelchair and loved the sport. Each team is made up of five players, two offense men, two defensemen and a goalie. The teams would play threeten minute periods and followed the same rules as the NHL. These kids are getting the full hockey experience and love every minute of it. As Brad set up to take his first ever face off, he looked at John in the stands and screamed thank you. For the first time in his life, Brad got to hear his name being said over the loud speaker as he put in the very first goal of the Wheelchair Hockey League.

“Just because I can not walk or skate does not mean that I can not play hockey,” Brad said. “If you love the game of hockey and are stuck in a wheelchair, don’t just sit there, play hockey!”

“It could be 30 degrees out and Brad would still call me and tell me to meet him at the rinks.”

The rich thrive in their utopia while the poor are better off dead. The year 2154 has little to offer on Earth. Its resources are depleting rapidly and overpopulation among other things has left the planet ruined. Elysium is a safe heaven outside of Earth’s atmosphere that is home to only the wealthiest people. Strict immigration laws on Elysium prevent anyone from Earth traveling there. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster) does everything in her power to keep it this way. Max (Matt Damon) gets into a situation with only one possible way out and agrees to embark on a mission that could change the tides of humanity and balance the world again if he succeeds. Matt Damon brings an action packed punch to this futuristic Sci-Fi thriller. Although a better sense of characters seemed to be lacking,

If you are a fan of the previous British comedies, like myself, you will more than enjoy this well-written and terrifically acted tale.

Although this movie may seem like the average coming-of-age tale, it is so much more than that. The Way Way Back was probably one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. When it was over, I just sat in my seat and thought, “Wow, what a beautiful movie.”

It tells the story of 14-year-old Duncan (played fantastically by Liam James) spending the summer with his mother, Pam (Toni Collette), his mother’s boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell), and Trent’s daughter, Steph (Zoe Levin). Duncan does not get along with Trent and doesn’t like being in the house because of that. He finds his peace by befriending a waterpark employee (the scene-stealing Sam Rockwell) and eventually working in the waterpark.

some characters were colored in with plenty of detail. With an in your face ploy towards a stance on politics, Elysium gave viewers a different outlook then they might of previously had towards immigration. The special effects were stunning and really made up for some the dry plots and twists scattered throughout the length of the film.

It can almost be described as an underdog story but not just for a single person, but all of humanity. There are a few logical flaws with the dogma implemented in this movie but it becomes pretty easy to forgive based off of how involved the viewer feels.

Rosamund Pike.

The plot follows Gary King (Simon Pegg) as he reunites “the boys” to try and redeem their teenage failure of conquering “The Golden Mile,” a 12-bar pub crawl through their hometown of Lechtworth, New Haven. As they struggle to merge their past and present, they realize much more has happened to their old town then they initially realized. With an ending I would have never predicted, I am nonetheless beyond happy with the outcome and will be adding this movie to my collection upon its release.

A definite recommendation for both this and the previous two movies of the trilogy to anyone who enjoys the occasional dry, British humor.

HML37@CABRINI.EDU

The dynamic between James and Rockwell is fantastic. James’ awkwardness isn’t uncomfortable to watch because Rockwell provides all the comedic relief you need. Rockwell somehow managed to master the balance of being comedic relief and also being serious and sensitive.

And trust me, as funny as Steve Carell is, he plays his part as a jerk very well. I didn’t think it was possible to dislike him in anything until I saw this.

The Way Way Back is everything you want in a movie – there are parts of it that are funny, there are parts that are sad, but most importantly, it’s real.

I laughed, I cried, I loved it. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed with this movie.

Vitamins could be what you’re mssing!

BY NICHOLAS CIPOLLONE Sports Editor

B vitamins are found in a lot of foods, and you hear about them a lot, but what do they really do?

There are a few different kinds of B vitamins, but overall they are all used to help metabolize carbohydrates into sugar.

In other words, they help your body make energy from the food that you eat.

There are 11 different kinds of B vitamins known as the vitamin B complex. B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B7 (biotin), B12, choline, inositol and folic acid make up the B complex.

B vitamins can be found in a lot of different things that we eat. For example, brown rice, salmon, spinach, and black beans.

They are essential vitamins for your body. It is hard to have too much of these specific kind of vitamins because your body uses them on a regular basis.

As you get older, your ability to absorb vitamin B12 is not as strong and a vitamin supplement or drink is recommended.

A deficiency in folic acid or B12 can cause diseases such as anemia.

Anemia is when your blood cannot transport oxygen to the rest of your body. The most common cause is a lack of iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12. People who are vegetarian or vegan are at a high risk because B12 is mainly found in animal protein.

B vitamins are also used to help your mood, high stress, anxiety or depression, and even help improve PMS symptoms.

Multi-vitamins normally have all of these B vitamins but the only way to be sure you are getting these vitamins in your diet.

B vitamins are also good for your overall health, and the best way to get them is through the food that you eat. Eating a well balanced diet will ensure you are getting all of the nutrients that you need.

One of the most common carbohydrate that people consume is rice, the question is, white or brown?

White rice is America’s favorite carbohydrate; it is even sometimes referred to as “American rice.” Roughly 70 percent of the rice eaten in the United States today is white, but white rice is brown rice.

What? Yes, it is refined brown rice. When rice is harvested it typically goes to a mill and is cleaned and the husks are taken off the grains. At this stage it is brown rice. It still has many layers of bran on the grain. Bran is simply the outside layers of a grain.

Manufacturers get rid of these layers so that they are easier to digest even if most of the nutrients that the grain will provide are in the bran. They do this because it takes less time to cook white rice. White rice also weighs less than brown rice so it is cheaper to export and import. White rice also lasts longer in storage because it doesn’t attract as many insects and doesn’t have the natural rice oil which would lead it to soil.

Brown rice, on the other hand, is rice right after it is harvested and the husk is taken off.

The rice still has all of its natural nutrients like B vitamins, manganese, selenium and magnesium and all of its original dietary fiber and essential fatty acids.

Manganese helps your body utilize certain nutrients, helps regulate blood sugar levels and helps protect your cells. Selenium helps prevent the risk of joint inflammation and support your thyroid and healthy cells.

Magnesium is utilized all throughout your body. It supports healthy bones, your energy

and metabolism; maintain a healthy nervous system and blood sugar levels.

Incorporating this food into your diet will provide you with a good amount of healthy fiber. This fiber will help you feel “fuller” and will cause you to eat less. It is also considered a whole grain, and will help stabilize your blood sugar so it is good for people who are at risk of diabetes. It is one of the most nutrient dense foods. It has natural oils that are a healthy fats, as well as, some anti-oxidant properties.

On the other hand, white rice is not as nutrient dense and is digested quickly which will cause your blood sugar to peak in a short time. This can cause damage to your blood vessels and nerves. Over time this can lead to type 2 diabetes, heart and kidney disease.

Not to be confused, any grain, or starchy foods will cause your blood sugar to rise. But

you want a gradual release so your body can have sustained release of nutrients, so your body will not store the unused energy as fat.

One thing that you need to keep in mind is making sure that all of your carbohydrates count. Try to eat more whole grain foods like brown rice to get the most out of what you eat.

A new era in Philadelphia Eagles history is upon us.

Their hyped up offence did not disappoint in the season opener against the Washington Redskins, with 11 million Monday night football viewers.

Head coach Chip Kelly is making it clear that this year the Eagles will focus more in their running game. The Eagles ran for 30 plays in just the first quarter and 53 times in the first half.

When you look at the NFL the focus has been primarily on each team’s passing game.

Teams have become more adept in their passing but what is being over looked is the rushing.

Rushing over the past two seasons has been very high.

The average N.F.L. carry over the past two seasons was 4.3 yards.

LeSean McCoy rushed for 184 yards and had a careerhigh 31 carries and also had a rushing touchdown.

The Eagles overall rushed 49 times for 263 yards. The last time they rushed for that many times was 46 in 2000 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Kelly put a lot of skeptics to rest with the impressive running game Another story of the night was Michael Vick. Vick threw for two touchdowns, 203 yards, one rushing touchdown and was 15 for 25 on the night.

Vick’s main target on the night was DeSean Jackson.

Jackson had seven receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown.

The Eagles were up 33-7, a lead, which they carried until late in the third quarter before Robert Griffin III, found his groove. This was his first game back in eight months.

Griffin then put together three scoring drives toward the end of the third and into the fourth quarter to make it 33-27.

He also threw for 329 yards and threw two interceptions. This is the first time in his career that he has thrown two picks.

Griffin also completed 30 of 49 passes but he only ran five times for 24 yards.

This win over he Redskins is a good gain in momentum for the eagles heading into a tough game for their home opener against the San Diego Chargers next week.

The Eagles could potentially be a team to watch this year it seems like with Kelly as the coach he is bringing a different dynamic to the offence, but defense is still in question.

The Cabrini College men’s soccer struggles continue as they lose their third straight game after a tough loss 2-1 in the final minute to Alvernia University in the last game of the Eagle Road Classic.

After being held scoreless in their last two games against Rutgers-Camden and Lebanon Valley College, the Cavs were looking to come out and strike first.

The Cavaliers did just that as they scored in the 11th minute, as senior Brett Lockbaum crossed the ball to sophomore Boomer Steigelman for his first goal of the 2013 season.

Cabrini’s lead was short lived as Alvernia’s R.J. Fisher, struck back with a goal of his own just three minutes later.

Neither team could break through and score for majority of the game. There were many opportunities but none were converted by either team.

It was looking like the Cavs were headed into their third overtime this season when Alvernia had one last offensive push in the 89th minute of the contest. With just 70 seconds left a pass from Alvernia

was deflected off of a Cabrini defender right to the feet of R.J. Fisher who finished the shot for his second goal of the night and propelled Alvernia to 2-1 lead.

The Cavaliers managed to generate one more corner in the final 10 seconds of the game and one final shot, but it was wide.

In the contest, Cabrini was out shot 8-5 with four being on target and forcing Alvernia’s goalies Matt wells and David Giannini make three saves combined.

Cabrini and Eastern University fans filled the sideline of Olson Field on Tuesday, Sept. 10 to witness the Battle of Eagle Road.

Eastern took this battle 1-0 handing the Lady Cavs their first loss of the season.

The game started and the Cavs quickly took control of the ball.

Within the first 5 minutes of the match the Cavaliers had three attempts to draw first blood but couldn’t convert the opportunities. The two teams battled for possession the whole first half but came up short. The first half came to a close with the score knotted at zero.

After the break, the Lady Cavs came out looking hungry for a victory. In the 50th minute the Cavs tested Eastern’s goal tender Elayna Simpson peppering her with six shots. Junior Melissa Scanzano ripped a shot that sailed wide of the net but 24 seconds later had another attempt at the twine. Simpson saved Scanzano’s shot keeping her perfect game alive. Junior Gabby Meck and sophomore Dana Peterson both had opportunities as well but were denied by Simpson.

Eastern took control of the

ball and drew first blood in this contest. Eight minutes later Emily Cole found Victoria Graham who booted the ball past freshman Marissa Jenkins into the back of the net. The Cavs made an effort to tie the game. They had three more chances for a goal but came up short.

In the 83rd minute, Gabby Meck took one last shot to try and tie it up. She had the angle but the ball went wide ending the game with Eastern University on top 1-0.

The Cavs will be on the road again for their next game at Arcadia University Saturday, Sept. 14th at 1 p.m.

Cabrini festivities were put on hold as all of the Miss America contestants were announced on the field, as well as, the reigning Miss America winner, Mallory Hagan.

Cabrini’s chorus was up next to sing the National Anthem on the field, led by Adeline Bethany.

It was another incredible night for baseball with over 37,000 fans at Citizens Bank Park; the Phillies were set to take center stage.

The game began as Cliff Lee shut down the Braves though the first two innings. In the top of the third, shortstop Andrelton Simmonds hit a lead off home run, giving the Braves a 1-0 lead.

Cabrini’s dance team took the field at the end of the fifth inning, as they performed on the third base side of the field.

“It was an awesome night!” Junior Victoria Sahina said, “This was my third year coming to this, and I noticed there was a lot more freshmen this year, it shows they are more involved and this night really brings out Cabrini spirit!”

Cabrini Night at the Phillies started in 2006 and really took off the following year with the first knit hat give away.

In 2008 they started to give students shirts and the Extraordinary Scholarship award started in 2010.

“I’m a huge Phillies fan,” John Keating, class of 82 said, “and this event gets the college’s name out there so people will recognize it. There are a lot of

The night was all about Cabrini, and getting together with family and friends to keep a wonderful tradition going.

“It was by far the best night that I have had so far at Cabrini,” freshman Sergio Campos said, “I had an awesome time.”

“I got to meet a lot of new people that I didn’t even know went to our school,” freshman Austin Marshall said, “It was a great way to make new friends.”
