Goodbye family weekend, hello homecoming

BY GIANNA GIGLIOTTI Staff Writer

This year Homecoming Weekend is taking the place of Family Weekend. It will be held Friday, Sept. 27, to Sunday, Sept. 29.

For those of you who are unsure of what a Homecoming is, it’s a series of events that colleges and high schools have to welcome back returning students and welcome new students. It allows people to get to know each other and take pride in their school, while having a good time.

For years Cabrini College has been holding a Family Weekend; it invited the parents of students to come see the campus and go to fun events.

This year Cabrini College is hosting a Homecoming Weekend. Parents will still be invited along with alumni, and others who would like to take part in these events.

Amber LaJeunesse, the assistant director of the center for student

engagement and leadership,(SEaL) said in an interview, “Years ago we used to do a Family Weekend, and in recent years the college wanted to increase the pride, spirit and tradition at Cabrini by bringing back Homecoming.” They hope that by having an event like this it will bring students, faculty, parents and alumni together for a fun filled weekend.

Over the weekend there are going to be many activities for everyone to get involved in. The activities start on Friday, Sept. 27 to Sunday ,Sept. 29. All these activities will take place on the Cabrini College campus. There will be day long activities that will mostly be free and only a couple that you will have to pay for.

The activities that will be taking place during Homecoming are events such as an ice cream social that will be hosted in Jazzman’s, There will be a showing of “Monster’s University” in Widener

Lecture Hall as well as a homecoming dance in the mansion. Attendance to the dance will cost $3. And to top it all of, a Homecoming Parade. There will also be many other activities during the weekend that will sure be very fun to attend and worth while.

While interviewing LaJeunesse about Homecoming, she seemed very excited about the upcoming events and looking forward to this weekend, “I have not seen the movie yet so I am really excited about it, but because the parade includes so many students, it will bring so much energy and I am really looking forward to it ,” Lajeunesse said, Anybody is welcome to attend, there will be games, people to meet, and a lot of school spirit going around.

Cabrini welcomes new admissions counselor

BY EMILY ARENTZEN Staff Writer

IS IOS7 WORTH THE HYPE? PAGE 6

Undergraduate Admissions has added a friendly face to the Cabrini family this past week. Carl Starkey, a highly accomplished lacrosse player from St. Olaf College in Minnesota, became the college’s newest addition to admissions starting on Sept. 16.

Born in Lansing, Mich., Starkey was first exposed to counseling while in high school. Due to the fact that he had a slightly “scattered” high school career, he explains, “I used to go to the guidance office a lot and hang out there.”

This pattern continued as he made his way into St. Olaf where he met a very helpful admissions counselor named Jerry Pope. Their friendship began due to the fact that Pope was “really receptive to Starkey and he was someone that Starkey stayed in touch with throughout the whole four years.”

In fact, Pope was first in telling Starkey that admissions would be a good avenue for him to consider.

Eventually he began working as a student ambassador at St. Olaf. This combined with hosting prospective students through football, basketball and lacrosse proved to him that he had a certain ability to apply himself in admissions.

“Through coaching and working with a lot of high school kids who were juniors and seniors looking at schools, I sort of filled that guidance counselor role for them.”

CARL STARKEY

Because of his extensive lacrosse career, Starkey knew that he was going to play after he finished his years at St. Olaf.

Coincidentally his career in lacrosse once again proved that he should

pursue a future in admissions. “Through coaching and working with a lot of high school kids who were juniors and seniors looking at schools, I sort of filled that guidance counselor role for them.”

After sharing this experience with Pope, Starkey was assured once again that admissions would be a good fit for him.

However, admissions have not been his only passion. As a highly involved student athlete at St. Olaf, Starkey held a strong loyalty to his school. After four years sticking with the same program, he graduated with a degree in biology and religious studies.

After graduating, he became involved with both the Minnesota Swarm and the Global Players. Each of these are both very well-known lacrosse teams for their travel in Europe.

The Minnesota Swarm is a professional team that traveled to Germany and the Czech Republic where Starkey was a part of the Prague sports club.

The Global Players were a slightly different set up. While the Minnesota Swarm is technically a professional team, the Global Players were mainly a place for athletes to do many things while abroad. In particular, college CONT PAGE 3

The illness behind the violence In light of recent events, namely the shooting at the naval yard, we at The Loquitur chose to take a look at what the discussion should really be about. Although we feel that it is important to focus on the issue of gun control, we also feel that mental illnesses have been overlooked in the past. As important at gun control is, we feel that mental illness has been at the root of these events.

LIFESTYLES EDITORS Se’Quia Bailey Jennarose DiGiacomo PERSPECTIVES EDITOR Rachel Antuzzi PHOTO EDITORS Dan Luner Amber Marshall WEB EDITOR Anthony Hypolite ADVISER Jerome Zurek

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.

Like clockwork, every horrible shooting resulting in multiple deaths brings in its wake the controversy over gun control.

Proponents and opponents alike come out of the woodwork to defend their sides, but we still rarely look at the underlying problem in all of these incidents; mental health.

From cases like Columbine to the naval yard shooting, the motives of the shooters are essentially impossible to fully comprehend or, at times, even identify. To say these shooters were in their right minds at any point in their crimes would be untrue.

Thus the problem; people know that to commit such an atrocity, you’d have to be “out of your mind.” As crude a phrase as that is to describe it, it’s true. Mental illness is an issue people don’t seem to look into when pointing the blame in these matters, however, do we even know enough about this so called issue to point blame in the first place?

As much as we don’t like to admit it, there is still such a negative stigma around mental illness. And what we think it boils down to is that as far as America has come in so many ways, we still don’t know how to treat people who suffer from mental illnesses. In a way, this is understandable; it’s hard to be completely comfortable with the idea that complications so common in our society can be the cause of brutalities so large and influential.

However, if there have been reoccurring instances where mentally ill people are behind the barrel of a gun that kills innocent victims, shouldn’t we become comfortable talking about this topic? Or in the least, shouldn’t we start learning about these illnesses?

Mental illnesses are not something that can be pushed under the rug. They are not something to be afraid of. They are not a danger to evry day society.

Mental illnesses are an issue we should be paying attention to.

They are something that is too serious to ignore. They are manageable.

Mental illnesses are tricky, they never really completely go away and the smallest trigger can set off an episode. However, maybe if the country were more knowledgeable on how to handle someone openly coming out and saying something like “I suffer from a mental illness,” we would face less of these issues. People without mental illnesses are uncomfortable with things they don’t understand and can’t relate to. It’s the classic shunning and overlooking of the kid who just doesn’t fit in.

On top of dealing with the constant struggles of managing a mental illness, imagine also dealing with the idea that you could be judged or treated differently for a problem that you can’t help having.

Many people feel like they can’t turn to help, that it’ll make them weak. This should never be an issue. We have to take care of our minds as much as we try to take care of our bodies.

Now we are in no way defending the shooters who killed these innocent people, but maybe these shootings may have turned out differently or not have happened at all if more attention had been paid to the signs he showed: the trouble sleeping, the strange angry behavior, his admission to hearing voices and all of this on top of his dismissed arrest. Or maybe if the country were educated on mental illnesses, someone could have intervened before tragedy happened.

So although of course it is a big issue that these shootings have happened, we think the wrong questions have been being asked.

Instead of asking who allowed those people to own a gun, maybe we should focus of what made that person reach for a gun in the first place.

students would not only play but they would also “help to coach local programs” around Prague and Berlin, where Starkey mainly worked.

His high level of interest and involvement in this rapidly expanding sport helped pave the way for his assisting in the development of the company Redline Lacrosse.

The company started when a fellow player wanted to create the company and needed a hand. “I helped him to start it up and it has been successful ever since,” Starkey said. When he is not in the Undergraduate Admissions office, he still keeps his involvement in Redline by helping to advise on their production.

An inevitable question that arose during this conversation was how someone who was born in Mich.,

THE LO QUITUR.COM | 3

from Chicago and graduated from a school in Minnesota would hear about such a small school in Radnor, Pa. A friend of Starkey’s had heard of Cabrini through the college’s lacrosse program and suggested that he take some interest in applying for a job there. Starkey knew that if he found “a school that has a similar feel to St. Olaf, it would be a natural fit and Cabrini was that.” The main draw of Cabrini was that “it’s a small school with a tightknit community,” Starkey said.

Once he got word that there was a job opening in admissions at Cabrini, Starkey contacted the director of admissions Shannon Zottola and asked her about the details regarding the position.

Although he did not have an immense amount of

experience in that field, Zottola saw that he had the personality to fit the job. It was merely trusting that Starkey would be able to handle the responsibilities that come with the territory.

To start off his new career, he has been assigned to counsel students in north New Jersey as well as three other counties in Pa. Judging by the playful banter that occurred amongst Starkey and his fellow counselors, he is adjusting to his position very smoothly and shows a lot of promise for his future with the Cabrini community.

Writer’s gone wild about poetry As new club emerges, students are excited exchange ideas and share poems with friends.

BY ERICA ABBOTT Staff Writer

Writer’s Gone Wild, the new poetry club on campus, helps students refine their work, share their ideas and focus on self expression. A plethora of ideas has already gone into poetry club and the creation of it.

Some of the fun events that are set to take off with poetry club include a scary movie night at the Mansion on Oct. 19 and a slam poetry event held towards the end of October. Many activities and events will be very interactive and will help writers see what they are capable of with their writings.

Another event that is planned for poetry club is a trip to Edgar Allan Poe’s house in Philadelphia. This event is set to happen on Nov. 15. Anyone interested is more than welcome to come. “I hope that people are able to enjoy getting a privatized tour and are able to appreciate and see what his workspace was like,” senior English secondary education major and founder Michelle Goff said. This is also the home in which Poe wrote one of his most popular works, “The Raven.” This trip will be rich in history.

Workshops will be put into place to give feedback and improve writers work. Fundraisers will also be used throughout certain events, including purchasing and reading poems to people. “I hope that these quirky readings will make people come out of their shell and do silly things,” Goff said. It is sure to be an entertaining experience.

A shared sentiment among the organizers is why they

wanted to create poetry club in the first place. Carly Swell, senior English major and treasurer, shed a little light on her reasoning for the creation of the club, “I wanted to create and be a part of a poetry club at Cabrini because I believe there is a huge market for one. Many people I know write poetry and it is the hope of Michelle and I that we can workshop pieces in the meetings that could

“I hope that people can learn to appreciate the art form of poetry in all facets and types of its creation.”

be worthy of submission to Woodcrest, Cabrini’s literary magazine where students’ works can be read and viewed.”

Sarah MacIntosh, junior English and philosophy major, laid out her hopes as being a member within poetry club, “I hope to improve the quality, frequency and creativity of my written work,” MacIntosh said. “I hope that by being in

this club it will help allow me a time and place to work on such things in the company of like-minded individuals.”

Writer’s Gone Wild will be a place for writers to challenge the ways of looking at poetry and a source for inspiration.

“Members can sit down and think about anything—not necessarily needing to share it—it is very therapeutic in a way,” Goff said. Members will really be able to see what they are capable of producing and adapt a certain sense of style to their own writings based off of hearing ideas from one another. “It’s the best part about being in such a club—the inspiration that comes along with such an experience,” MacIntosh said.

Writer’s Gone Wild already had their first meeting on Sept. 16 but new members are always welcome to join.

Much is to be learned and taught in the coming year about poetry and members will have new outlets of inspiration and ways of thinking at each meeting.

“I hope that people learn that poetry is not just for one gender or emotional people,” Swell said. “I hope that people can learn to appreciate the art form of poetry in all facets and types of its creation.”

Student stepping into the spotlight

BY ALEXA FERRAGINE Staff Writer

As warm as the stage lights may be, the anxiety of being in the spotlight is not something everyone can take. A once offstage hand, Adrian Matthis is pushing through his comfort zone and taking on an on stage role in, “It’s a Wonderful Life” this winter.

This is Matthis’ first time stepping onto the stage acting rather than behind the scenes.

Matthis said in a recent interview, “If this was four years ago I wouldn’t have seen myself doing this.” A very nervous Matthis explained how this is the right time for him to be on stage and not behind it.

In this year’s play he will be playing four different characters including a man with no name, a man in a bank named Ed, a character named Ernie and a bridge keeper.

“I’m nervous but an excited nervous.” Matthis said. “It’s pretty fun.” He has been working with most of the people involved in this play, so he is very familiar with the way things work.

Formally in past productions, Matthis would set up for the play such as lights, sound and hanging the lights. He had to go to rehearsal to see how everything worked and made sure things were ready for the shows opening date.

He now has a completely different job and is excited for the play to get started. The dress rehearsals will be taking place Nov. 2 through the 5th. The play will open Nov. 7 and will continue to show on the 8th 10th 14th 16th and 17th.

Enlightening evening with Cabrini alumni

BY EMILY ARENTZEN Staff Writer

Cabrini accounting alumni filled the mansion with helpful information on how to get ahead in the business world.

The alumni who bestowed their wisdom onto accounting undergrads were John Casparro ’07, Lisa Fusaro ’09, Christine Knopf Meller ’08, Mike Kubacki ’04, Chrissy Petrilla ’05, and Anthony Stola ’11.

Each alum took turns providing the audience with their impressive resumes and success stories on what you can become after graduation.

With an encouraging opening by director of the Center for Career and Professional Development Nancy Hutchison, the evening was not only beneficial to accounting majors, but for any other students looking to “advance their career.”

After another short remark by Cabrini’s provost Anne Skleder welcoming the “esteem alum,” it was the former students’ chance to take the floor.

To begin, recent Cabrini graduate Anthony Stola spoke of how much can be accomplished with only being two years out of school. What helped him gain so much momentum to jump right into the business world were his three internships that he gained powerful connections in.

Another enticing benefit to his extensive internships was that they were generally paid positions. He describes this luxury when he says that he “bought [his] first car with the internship money.”

Next to take the stage was a former student with a more distinct background. Lisa Fusaro spent twice the amount of time in achieving her undergraduate degree due to the fact that she was working full-time and caring for two-and-a-half year old triplets.

Even still, Fusaro had a resume full of experience and background that helped her gain the success she has today. One of the more prominent points that she brought up was made to benefit more than just accounting majors. “The more you expose yourself to, the more you’re going to learn.”

While the panel was technically for accounting majors, the advice that was given could be applied to any major or profession.

Fusaro also encouraged students to “find a mentor and challenge them to teach you,” wisdom that can be carried out through any avenue.

To follow Fusaro’s encouraging stories came former accounting and finance double major, John Casparro.

Having graduated six years ago, Casparro has built a resume around the

connections he made while attending Cabrini. He says “network with the connections you have at Cabrini” in order to create relationships with potential future employers.

Even after graduation Casparro says “networking is constant,” making the move from one business to the next much easier.

In between each speaker, associate professor of accounting Anne Servey maintained the energy of both speakers and audience members by adding in her own input and experience.

“You want to be a piece of the network,” Servey said. She encouraged her students to not be shy and to be confident in themselves and about what they are capable of doing in order to achieve strong connections with the business world.

Christine Knopf Meller shared her success as a result of confidence by describing a job interview she had where she “received the job offer the next day in the mail.” Her secret to success in this was that she was not afraid of being interviewed because she knew that she was capable of handling what the company would present to her.

Another double major was present to provide her insight on what it takes to be successful. Chrissy Patrilla further proved the benefits of networking during your undergrad years by saying “get out there,

talk to people and get involved in the different events.”

The night’s final speaker Mike Kubacki gave more detailed insight on how to handle the future after college. He started this by describing how he came into his specialty.

It began as a class that he thoroughly disliked. He even said that “it was the first class that I didn’t get an A in.”

That class’s distinction from the rest of his college career gave him a certain drive that then grew into passion. He now spends his time doing exactly what that class taught him.

While the more specific topics would be difficult to relate to for students who are not accounting and/or finance majors, the broad idea was something that could hold true for anyone. The main idea touched upon by all six speakers was that you need to be aggressive in your field and do not hold back on what you want to do.

As said by Mike Kubacki, “find something that you really love to do and learn everything about it.” Once you figure out what it is that you love, “take what you learn and don’t take it for granted.”

Welcome to Cabrini, Conall Gallagher

BY ALEXA MILANO News Editor

An unfamiliar face is making himself known on Cabrini’s campus.

Conall Gallagher, hailing from Ireland, will be studying at Cabrini for the entire 2013-2014 year.

“I started off by applying for the Study USA program that the British council ran,” Gallagher said.

“After a strict application process, I was selected for the interview process where I was interviewed in December for the Study USA program.”

After getting through the interviews, Gallagher had a few options of which school to go to. “Cabrini was my number one choice,” Gallagher said. “I had other choices across the states in North Carolina and Tulsa, Oklahoma.”

Back at home Gallagher is a geography major, however, here at Cabrini he is studying business administration. “As a geography major in Ireland, I have up to 120 people in some classes,” Gallagher said. “Classes are a lot smaller but they tend to be good.”

In addition to studying different material, Gallagher said the biggest difference between his school at home and Cabrini is the size of the colFACEBOOK.COM lege. “At home my school is Queens University Conall Gallagher Belfast and it’s a big school. As for Cabrini everyone knows everyone. It’s great!” Gallagher said.

Gallagher is enjoying his experience in America so far. “The experience has been great, people at Cabrini have been very welcoming,” Gallagher said. “The experience so far has gotten me excited for the months to come.”

One of the things that attracted Gallagher to study in the U.S. is the hardworking nature of the students here. “America is one of them places where you can really be recognized for hard work when you’re older. It’s a great hardworking country,” Gallagher said. “Ireland is as small as many of the states in the U.S. America is fast-paced and lively.

The place never sleeps which is what I love about it.”

Although Gallagher is enjoying his time so far, he does miss his family and friends back home. “It is hard being away from home but the social networking advancements in recent years has made communicating a little bit easier,” Gallagher said. “My family will visit throughout the year so that’s what keeps me going.”

I’m grateful for the opportunity that Cabrini and Study USA have given me. I look forward to the many great experiences ahead.”

CONALL GALLAGHER

Gallagher hopes to one day spend an extended period of time in America. “I hope to live in America for a duration perhaps and this overseas experience allows me to get international experience,” Gallagher said. “In today’s workforce competition is very high and to have something like studying on an international setting is priceless. This study abroad year will allow me to develop myself more as a person and make international networks.”

Gallagher is looking forward to making the most of his year here. Although it will be an adjustment, it’s something he is not only grateful for, but he’s looking forward to. “I’m grateful for the opportunity that Cabrini and Study USA have given to me,” Gallagher said. “I look forward to the many great experiences and memories ahead.”

THURSDAY SEPT. 26, 2013

worth all the HYPE?

JOEY RETTINO Staff Writer

With change comes the inevitable instances of hesitation and mixed emotions. The iOS 7 update for the iPhone is no different.

The mere idea of not having your smartphone at your side, constantly vibrating and dinging to remind you that you’re connected to the world is a fear that many people could never imagine.

Over a quarter of all Americans own an iPhone.

Understandably, with 40 percent of all smartphone-using college students having an iPhone, the iOS 7 update on Wednesday, Sept. 18, was a big deal to many.

As said previously, the idea of not having your communication-companion is obviously one met with extreme grief, but what are the feelings on it simply changing?

With virtually the same actions as its primitive ancestor, iOS 6, what could there be to dislike about iOS 7? iPhone’s latest update gives a once blunt interface a

sleek yet pallid wash down, both softening colors where needed and adding gusto to previously bland parts of the software.

Where does our sometimes-helpful friend Siri fall into the situation with the launch of the new software? Our now transgendered helper can switch between male and female at your request, but will gladly still give you a list of the closest dumps, swamps and metal foundries when you tell it, “I need to bury a body!”

If anyone grew tired of the played out notification tones, “Marimba,” “Xylophone,” or the greatest of all napalarms, rationally appointed “Alarm,” than the there is another positive feature of the update. Nearly thirty new tones have been added, while the original tones can still be found in their own section entitled “Classics.”

Stuck in the dark and need some light? With iOS 7 you no longer have to search and open your laggy “Flashlight App.” Now your camera can do what Apple should have done so long ago. With merely a swipe of your finger and a click of a button, your camera bulb doubles as a flashlight.

Speaking of the iPhone camera, you previously had to take a picture with your phone first then add the photo to Instagram or Facebook before you got the chance to edit and add effects. However, now iOS 7 enables you to take pictures with the edit over the live camera feed, straight from your iPhone.

Regardless of many owners’ apprehensions, iPhone users synced their phones to Wi-Fi at noon, on Wednesday, Sept. 18 to see what Apple had in store for them. Some phones took hours to upgrade, while others a couple minutes.

Sophmore, Valeri DiCarlo said, “I started updating my iPad at [noon], and it wasn’t finished until around dinner

MCT

This is the new look of iPhones once uses have downloaded the latest operating system update; iOS7. time.” She went on to say she still was not sure if she liked the upgrade or not.

All in all, truly the only new things iOS 7 additionally offers is a fresh color scheme, a new lock screen, and of course the flashlight. Yes, these upgrades are nice, but with that being said, should the upgrade been made as big of a deal as it was?

Moreover, was it worth the hype? It all depends on what your expectations were. If all you wanted was a change from the classic look, than you’d be satisfied, but if you wanted an entirely new phone, than no. Personally, I didn’t care what the update made the phone look like, all I was hoping for was new Emojis, and we all know how that turned out.

The United States’ involvement in Syria Should the U.S. always be the one to swoop in and take charge when there is a threatening force somewhere in the world? he feels it is the job of the United States to step in. His first suggestion was an air attack on Syria. He could have made the decision alone and went right to it, instead he asked for the support of Congress.

Congress couldn’t agree with the decision

thetical attack; Syria posed absolutely no threat to the United States.

Syria has been living in a civil war since 2011. According to huffingtonpost. com, about 100,000 people have already been killed, but now we chose to step in.

“Getting involved in the Syria conflict isn’t the right decision; it’s the justifiable decision.”

AMBER MARSHALL Staff Writer

An air strike on Syria has been on everyone’s mind. Is it the job of the United States to step in and correct the actions of another country?

According to John Kerry, it’s a fact that Syria’s government massacred more than 1,400 people with chemical weapons. It’s also a fact that the Geneva Protocol exists; a treaty prohibiting the first use of chemical and biological weapons in international armed conflicts.

President Obama has made it clear that

right away, but it felt something should be done.

Now the major problem with the air attack is not the attack itself, but what happens after. Russia and China are supporters of Syria; would they come after the United States? Let’s not forget the fact that Syria has these chemical weapons. They could easily use them on us, couldn’t they?

We must keep in mind, before the hypo-

Admittedly circumstances have changed, but I still feel uneasy about the United States getting involved.

We do not understand their country; we do not know how they live their day-to-day lives. This means we can’t just barge in and decide things need to change for them.

Although I do feel the chemical weapons need to be destroyed, an air attack is not the way to go about getting it done.

Thankfully there has been a solution, and Russia is on our side for this one. The United States and Russia agreed to go in and get all of the chemical weapons from Syria. Of course, that is an extremely difficult task, and they expect to have this mission completed by 2014. Having such a constricted time to do it also adds to the difficulty.

So back to the original question, is it the job of the United States to step in and correct the actions of another country?

No, it’s not the job of the United States. It is however up to someone to step in. Using chemical weapons is banned, and if we let the ruler of Syria think it’s okay to use them on his own people; where is the line drawn that using them isn’t okay?

Getting involved in the Syria conflict isn’t the right decision; it’s the justifiable decision. Years from now we will look back as a country and create more and more excuses as to why it was a good plan. It’s happened time and time again.

Syria needs an intervention. The United States doesn’t need to be the one to do it.

D.C. Navy Yard Shooting As the shooting that took place in D.C. begins to be analyzed, two discussion points arise: Guns and mental health. Are the two synonymous? or should they both be viewed as seperate entities?

The Washington Naval Yard shooting has re-sparked two topics of discussion in the United States; mental health and gun control.

The topic of mental health goes back centuries. People were lobotomized or given shock therapy because doctors believed that would rid the patient of whatever problems were plaguing them. While it’s not quite that severe anymore, the lack of understanding about mental illnesses still exists. Many people seem to think that all mental illnesses are the same or at least similar. That’s not the case. Each person is different and each person’s illness is different and affects them differently. One cannot assume that what treatment one person receives for a mental illness will work for another person with a completely different mental illness.

GREGORY SMITH Then there’s the topic of gun control. You News Editor have people wanting stricter regulations on guns, restrictions on who can get guns, and some people who just want to remove guns from society completely. The events of Sandy Hook and now the naval yard shooting have people even more on edge regarding mental health and guns, especially how people with mental illnesses gain access to firearms. As a gun owner, I personally get very defensive when people talk about how there should be stricter gun laws or about how guns should be removed from society. I purchased my guns legally and passed all

necessary checks to do so.

I don’t believe we should restrict guns for those who show mental stability and go through the legal processes to purchase firearms. After all, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Guns are just the medium. However, I also believe that there need to be some alterations to the current gun purchasing method that would ensure the purchaser was mentally stable enough to buy a gun. One method to ensure that a person’s mental state is stable enough to purchase a firearm would be to have a test done by a certified physician and then have the person who wants to purchase the gun bring the paperwork to the gun shop as proof they are mentally stable. No test, no gun. The second way to ensure that a person is mentally stable would be to have their medical histories sent to the branch of government that performs background checks. This way, when the criminal background check is performed, they can perform a mental health background check as well.

While ensuring guns are purchased by responsible and mentally sound individuals is important, I feel that it is most important to educate the American public about mental illnesses. As mentioned before, guns don’t kill people. People kill people. If we can educate the American people about mental illnesses and create awareness, we can help those with mental illnesses to receive the help they need or at least make them aware that they have support. This would hopefully cut down on the homicides related to individuals with mental illnesses.

Instead of allocating funds to try and regulate guns and their sales, we should utilize those resources to fund awareness programs in schools and businesses to create a more accepting and understanding society. The more educated people are, the more of a difference we can all make.

GS379@CABRINI.EDU

As a society, we overlook mental illnesses and instabilities due to the simple reason that we don’t want to confront the problem. However, by turning the other cheek we are putting more lives in danger than just the individual suffering.

LIAM SHRADER Staff Writer

I first heard about Aaron Alexis’ shooting spree at the same time most people did. Social media was blowing up about the gunman killing people in the Washington D.C. Naval Yard and like most, I began clicking links to get some quick information on it.

Getting live death-toll updates will always put an uneasy feeling in my stomach. Sitting at a computer or looking at my phone and having a screen tell me that as I was sitting down to eat lunch one more random American was just murdered. Someone whose day started as routinely as mine ended with their senseless execution.

No matter how this news made me feel, I was not alarmed. At no moment did what I see feel shocking or unexpected; it was just happening in a new city. Getting

the news about the Sandy Hook massacre, hearing the horrible story of this man who killed all of those children is still a fresh memory to me. So is hearing about a man going on a killing-spree during The Dark Knight Rises Premiere, the same night and movie my friends and I bought tickets for weeks in advance.

I don’t think anyone’s surprised anymore. When it happens, we all worry about it, we all talk about it, but it’s only become more common and nothing has done to prevent the next ones.

When I hear about massacres such as these, there is something more troubling to me than what weapon(s) were used and how many innocent people were killed and families destroyed. The most troubling news to hear about is when there were known ‘red flags’ but no one did anything about.

I would agree that it may not be the fault of the men who commit these attrocities. They were not mentally well and weren’t getting the help that they needed, but that does not excuse them or the people around them who saw the signs.

Aaron Alexis made delusional phone-calls to the police just days before the shooting. He has a history of arrests and military infractions and has admitted to hearing voices. He sought treatment for insomnia on multiple occasions and recently purchased a shotgun. Yet this man was working for the government and was given a secret security clearances in the naval yard. To me, the fact that these signs didn’t motivate anyone to be even more precautionary when giving him special clearances is concerning.

We also can’t look past stories that don’t make national headlines. These crimes don’t always have a dozen vic-

tims at a time. Like Charles Cullen, a licensed nurse, who spent 16 years of his professional career killing patients he was caring for. Most of the hospitals he worked for had sufficient evidence, yet he was allowed to continue working and continued to seeking new employment after his bosses would bargain with him to leave; never reporting him to the proper authorities. One employer’s excuse for hiring him was Cullen ‘successfully’ underwent therapy and they couldn’t hold that against someone who was ‘rehabilitated.’ Though I’m sure the families of the 40 victims he’s admitted MCT to killing would feel that should never have been the case.

I don’t know where to begin on a long-term solution to approaching mental illness. All I’m saying is that when your Nana starts to go senile, you take away her drivers license. It’s not her fault, but you do it because you care about her and you don’t want her to hurt herself or anyone else. So if some person is known to have some sort of inbalance or there are glaringly bright signs that he or she is not stable, why aren’t we taking away their weapons so we can protect them and the people we care about?

Cabrini Senior starts her own business Blinged out cell phone cases become the new hit trend on Cabrini’s campus

BY SE’QUIA BAILEY Lifestyles Editor

The one thing a college student looks forward to, aside from the beach and hanging with friends, is getting a summer job. Senior Eboneé McKinney had no luck when it came to finding a summer job.

“During the summer I was looking for jobs,” McKinney said. “They said they were hiring but they never really followed up.” McKinney said she would call to check on the status of her application but hiring managers kept telling her they would call her back.

The job market was tough for McKinney, but by browsing the Internet she came up with the idea of making phone cases. “I saw someone’s phone case and said I can do that,” McKinney said.

“I make phone cases for all types of phones,” McKinney said. She noticed that many companies like Amazon and Ebay were only making flashy phone cases only for iPhone. McKinney herself, a Galaxy SIII phone user, decided she wanted to cater to all phone styles and types. “I have designed for Cricket phones and Metro,” McKinney said.

Not only does McKinney make phone cases, she has branched out to make iPad and Mac cases. She said making the Mac case was her hardest project yet. “The Mac case took so long,” McKinney said. “It came out so decent.”

McKinney pitched her idea to her mother who didn’t know how her daughter would do this. “I was organized and went to my mom already with a plan,” McKinney said.

That plan amazed McKinney’s mother who helped her buy her first set of supplies.

Getting off of her feet wasn’t quite as easy as McKinney thought it would be. People would not give answers that McKinney needed. They thought she was trying to steal their designs. “I would ask people what different materials they used,” McKinney said. “They just gave me the cold shoulder and didn’t want to help.”

McKinney went to the only source she knew would give her some answers—Google. “I know I needed pearls that would stick to a phone case but I didn’t know what they were called,” McKinney said.

McKinney bought her flat-back pearls, studs and industrial strength glue and from there her business took off. “I get some of my crafts from Etsy” McKinney said. “Some of them are just sets that people want to mix-andmatch.”

McKinney began making different case designs and advertising them on Instagram. “I put different designs on the website that I created as well,” McKinney said. “Most of my customers came from Instagram.”

McKinney said that some clients have been so satisfied with her product that they’ve purchsed multiple in a month. “I have sold about 77 from my site. “But I’ve sold many more from my Instagram though,” McKinney said.

Some designs on her Instagram are not always available on her website because it may be a unique or rare design. “I usually have a large quantity of cases on my website,” McKinney said.

There are clients that buy three or four cases a month from her. “My mom runs the bookstore at my church and she even sells some there,” McKinney said.

At 20 years old McKinney never saw herself as a small business owner.

She has customers from all over the world. “I have customers from Canada, Britain and Germany,” McKinney said. “I also have customers here in the United States.” Many of McKinney’s customers in the U.S. come from California, Maryland, Georgia and North Carolina.

Having over 100 sales, McKinney is very grateful that she started her business. “My cases are at reasonable prices and they are definitely worth getting,” McKinney said. Her prices range anywhere between $27-$60+. “It all depends on what style you want and what you are getting,” McKinney said. “The more flashy Swarovski crystal cases are more expensive.”

With school starting, McKinney had no true worries about continuing her business. “Over the summer it would take one-to-two business days,” McKinney said. “Now it can take anywhere between three to five days.”

McKinney has most of her materials shipped from China, sometimes that causes a delay in her making cases. “I don’t know how the mail room works sometimes. It’s really weird,” McKinney said. Cabrini would sometimes slow down her progress in making phone cases because the schedule they are on to pick up packages is off.

McKinney has been making a great profit from selling phone cases. Last month McKinney made a profit of $607.50. She made good use of the money to help her buy supplies needed for school. “It helps so that I don’t have to ask my mom and dad,” McKinney said. “I also take care of other personal business.”

The main thing that McKinney has learned about being a business owner is that you have to be very patient with people. “I would say you have to learn how to handle people and realize how rude people can get,” McKinney said.

She has found that you develop patience by working with all types of people.

McKinney says that her business is still booming even though school has started. “It only takes me about 30-45 minutes to make a case,” McKinney said. Instead of taking a nap in the middle of the day she prefers to make phone cases. “Why sleep when I can make money,” McKinney said.

Take a chance to dance

BY JESSICA PARADYSZ Staff Writer

Taking a chance or a leap of faith can have incredible results as Ashlee Grazier, senior dancer and finance major, can attest to. Ever since her mother inspired her to take classes at three years old, Ashlee has been exposed to the rigorous, glamorous and artsy world of dance. As a junior, Ashlee decided to try out again for the Dance Team which reignited her passion for the art.

The Dance Team performs at various events around campus including basketball games, Cabrini’s Got Talent, Relay for Life and most recently Cabrini Night at the Phillies. Citizens Bank Park was transformed into a center stage while thousands watched. “Something clicks,” Grazier said. “That you are here to entertain.”

Although she admits to being shy, “Once the song comes on you don’t have time to think about it, just go,” Grazier said.

Such a transformation was evident during the team’s poignant performance to Beyoncé’s song “I’m Here” at last year’s Relay for Life. The lights in the gymnasium dimmed and as soon as the notes filled the gymnasium, emotion was palpable with each turn and jump.

“It was a great experience,” Grazier said. “I heard stories from friends and how they lost someone and are still fighting.” The moving performance was especially close to her heart because her grandmother has been diagnosed with cancer. Grazier reflects that the dance was not about technique but rather giving a gift to those watching.

“A dancer is naturally romantic,” as most of modern choreography utilizes love songs,” Grazier said. “Once you hear the music you get into character and become the person. However the song is feeling, that’s how you feel invested in song.” Grazier has studied ballet, modern, jazz, tap and hip hop at the Grace Dance

Theater. She prefers modern to structured ballet.

In addition to being a member of the dance team, Grazier is the president of Amor Latino and vice president of the Black Student Union, a resident assistant and a member of Catholic Relief Services. The impressive list of duties continues as she works in admissions, Dixon and the mailroom.

Although it seems that Grazier never skips a beat between dancing in the studio, working and participating in clubs, she loves to write poetry and shop online.

“Dance is a stress reliever,” Grazier said. “Everyone is different.” If something horrible is happening within the family or you are in a bad mood, you put on a face.”

“Eventually, the expression creates joy.”

Graduation day is in sight, and Grazier is excited for a future spent traveling and helping her community through service. The curtains will not close on her passion for the arts. “I have to be dancing,” Grazier said.

“What else would I be doing?”

Either dealing with challenges in dance or various areas in life, Grazier’s advice is, “Do not let anyone belittle you.”

Say hello to two new clubs on campus Hey Cabrini Family,

My name is Royal Blue but everyone calls me Blue.

Did you happen to notice my new makeover? I’m quite in love, email me your thoughts.

Well it seems as though we have not heard from anyone yet. It makes me quite sad. I’m hoping to hear from you soon! I’m here to help, and I can only help if you write to me! But on a another note I wanted to give some advice of my own that my friends and I were talking about recently.

Stress! Yes stress, the word we dislike so much. I have stress? Surprised I’m not.

Stress happens in all of us. Sometimes it’s easy to let it go, other times its hard.

But as long as we push forward and persevere stress has no chance against our fighting selves. My friends and I took a lovely trip to Walmart, and on the way there one of my friends brought up the fact that he has not stopped going since he returned from summer break. Then my other friend chimed in and said the same. And then I of course said it too, stress is just something that happens when we find ourselves too overwhelmed, and when we’re constantly thinking ahead.

I’ve learned just two simple words to help me release some of my stress.

Those words are... just breathe! Yes, just breathe!

That’s all we can do, when you’re stressed about a paper, take a step back, walk away and come back with a fresh mind. When you see yourself studying for a test and your mind is just not memorizing the gazillion biology terms, take a step back, walk away and come back with a fresh mind. And remember to just breathe.

Everything will be okay in the end.

But, 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 too, 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!

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

Yours truly, Blue

P.IN.K (Power in Knowledge)

BY DANIELLE VIGLIONE Staff Writer

Marilyn Monroe once said, "One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel."

Jillian Megna and Danielle Kane share the same belief.

They have started a club on campus entitled PINK (Power in Knowledge). This is a club based on forming female leaders in the world.

When asked why the club was founded, Jillian Megna, junior exercise science major, responded: "We want to promote the beauty of leadership, knowledge, and education within a woman." PINK will not only focus on developing future leaders in society, but providing positive role models for younger girls as well.

Megna added, "We know more about Miley Cyrus twerking at the VMA's than we do about women who impact the world in a positive way. We want to provide that positive light that younger girls can look up to and aspire to be."

Megna and Kane intend to have guest speakers to talk to the club members about being a female leader in today's world. On top of this, Megna later states, "We are very open and excited to collaborate with other clubs on

projects."

For instance, PINK will be collaborating with a local community college to help high school girls who cannot afford prom dresses. The plan is to get previously owned prom dresses and donate them to those who have financial difficulty.

There is also talk of a breast cancer walk-a-thon or bake sale, although those plans are not set in stone.

Cofounders, Megna and Kane, are expecting a total of 48 girls to attend the first meeting. Megna closed the interview with "We are in this realm where we aren't children anymore but we aren't yet adults.

“I truly feel that this is something important." If you want to develop leadership skills and make new friends all while doing something for the greater good, PINK is definitely a club worth joining.

Let’s fall into fashion GOOGLE.COM

BY ALEXANDRA SABOE Guest Wrtier

Just like those cute little nick-naks do in the Home Goods commercials, what are the colors that speak to you? Black may always be in style but change it up, try on a dark colored leather jacket or two. Already have one? Try a jean jacket to give your outfit a less edgy look. But people please for heaven’s sake what ever you do, do not think for one second that you can match jeans with a jean jacket or shirt! We already passed that stage with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlakeyes such a picture does exist.

Ladies, avoid such fashion disasters by matching a jean jacket with simple black leggings and a cute bright colored blouse. Pair this outfit with booties and a long gold necklace and your perfect fall outfit is complete.

Sorry ladies, but the UGGS are just ugly for this season so don’t whip them out until its officially winter! Try other simple cute outfit ideas such as a classic knit with jeans, plaids, stripes, or cheetah prints-just don’t over do it and look like animal ready to attack, thanks.

A dark colored dress with a scarf over stockings allows for a simple yet classic fall toned look. Lastly, (and this

goes for guys too) its getting cold out so start to break out those fedoras and beanies again!

Guys, keep your classic look of jeans and a colored tee, just dress it up a little bit. Don’t know what to wear? Try matching your t-shirts with colors on your sneaks, just a simple and easy way to make your outfit look complete. Toms more your style? Make them work too by adding a oversized button-up sweater to your wardrobe. Belts are always in fashion and they really do help to hold your style! Also add a necklace or a blazer to give you that different look your searching for.

GLAMOUR magazine recommends to not be afraid of mixing variations of colors with textures and lengths. Fall toned colors include brown, tan, emerald green, red, cobalt blue and yes, you can still even wear white after Labor day. Layers are your best friend when it comes to cold weather! So try on different looks, only you can decide which one you feel the most comfortable in. Especially on those “I don’t know what to wear days” just remember, the simpler the better sometimes!

To the movies we go!

MCT MCT GOOGLE.COM

BY SAHRA ALI Staff Writer

Based on the books by Cassandra Clare, "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" is the first in an installment of movies.

The movie follows 15-year old Clary Fray played by Lilly Collins, a girl who lives an ordinary life with her mother (Lena Headey) and bestfriend Simon (Robert Sheehan) in New York City. She one day starts drawing and seeing this strange symbol and can't explain what it means or how she feels this connection to it. She soon discovers she comes from a long line of Shadowhunters.

These Shadowhunters exist in order to rid the world of demons and other mythical creatures. Clary’s mother is one of the most powerful Shadowhunters that has ever existed, and to keep her daughter away from the dangers that the shadow world possesses she erases her memory and doesn’t tell her the truth about who she really is. Clary comes home to her mother missing one day and a dog –like demon in her kitchen, she is saved by fellow shadow hunter Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower) and he tells her the truth about who she is and what she is meant to do. Clary discovers more and more about the world these Shadowhunters live in and why her mother chose to keep the truth from her.

The movie is like any other teenage supernatural fantasy. It follows a lot of the same plots and has incorporated the infamous love-triangle. There were many enjoyable parts but overall the movie was quite bland. The potential was there as they had a good cast, but it just felt like it was lacking something. The writers threw in a lot of unimportant information and history about the Shadowhunters, and many of it was lost in translation. Many questions were unanswered it seems.

The cute back-and-forth banter between Jace and Simon as they both vie for Clary’s affection was quite cute, as were the little bits of dry humor thrown in there every once in a while.

A second movie based upon the next book in the series "The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes" is set for a 2014 release.

The twist at the end may end up bringing a lot of the first-time watchers back for the second one.

Andy Reid’s and Donovan McNabb’s retun to Philly

Sports Men’s Soccer gets their first win of the 2013 season

THURSDAY SEPT. 26, 2013

“The win gave us our first win of the season, which is big,” junior Ostrowski said. “It helps us build our confidence going forward. Scoring so many goals proves that we have what it takes to win, hopefully there are more to come.”

The Cavaliers now take this newly found confidence and moves on to play Delaware Valley College on, Sept. 28, at 4 p.m.

BY NICHOLAS CIPOLLONE Sports Editor

The Eagles welcomed back two of their all time leaders to Lincoln Financial Field last Thursday and neither them were in an Eagles uniform. Getting a ticket was one thing, getting into the stadium was another battle.

As you approached Patteson Ave. to park you were stuck in gridlocked traffic. Parking was a free-for-all. Arriving a litle late the parking was closer to I-76 then the stadium.

Apon approaching the stadium you were hit with an awsome energy and were surrounded by easily over one hundred thousand fans who tried to pile into the stadium like sardines. The large cloud waiting to get in the gates was astonishing.

The number “5” and “McNabb” were projected on the side of the stadium. Andy Reid had a warm welcome to Philadelphia. He has done a great job so far coaching the Cheifs to a 3-0 record after having the worst record in the league last year.

The real story of the night was the genuine and heart-felt speech by one of the Eagle’s greats, Donovan McNabb. Brian Dawkins introduced him as McNabb came out of the Eagles tunnel one last time. It was awesome the see the crowd’s reaction and the standing ovation that he recieved thought his entire speech. The thundering roars after his speech and unveiling of his number being retired in the rafters, was well deserved for his service to the Eagles.

Anyway, it was a special night for the Eagles franchise but not for the Eagles on the field.

The Eagles did end up losing to the Cheifs 26-19 and Michael Vick threw two interceptions.

But LeSean McCoy rushed for 156 yards. Reid got the gatorade shower after the game in celebration and an emotional hug with former player Vick after the game.

The Eagles are headed to Denver to play the red hot Broncos this coming Sunday, for Sunday Night Football on FOX.

Winning streak exended to four

BY KYLIE MCDEVITT Staff Writer

The Cabrini women’s tennis team took home the 5-3 win over Arcadia on Thursday Sept. 19th.

Coming off of two conference wins, the Lady Cavs were calm and confident. A quiet buzz from the fans and the occasional team encouragement was all that could be heard.

One of the team’s rookies Elena Conway said, “The key factors to our wins have been a positive mentality and focus.

We always go into our matches believing we can win, but still making sure we’re 100 percent focused on every single point we play.”

Head coach Chris Brown takes time during the match to help each Cabrini competitor to better understand her opponent and their potential weaknesses.

Going into their next match against fellow CSAC team Neumann University, Conway says, “the Arcadia match was a really good win for us, and

we’re definitely going to use the momentum from that match going into this weeks matches.”

Cabrini’s match against Neumann was the first time Brown has been back to their court since being named the CSAC Player of the Year three times from 2009-2011.

Cav’s took two of three doubles matches. The duo of senior Katie Kennedy and sophomore Nichole Broccolino improved to 6-0 with an 8-4 win.

The match then moved to singles play. Kennedy remained unbeaten on the season wit a 6-3, 6-0 win. Junior Samantha Trumbo rallied back after losing her first set to get the win.

Sophomore Mackenzie Murry and Conway each earned their fourth straight win.

The Lady Cavs will be back on the court Friday, Sept. 27,

The Cabrini women’s soccer team was trying to defend home field in a rematch of last year’s Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Championship game against GwyneddMercy University.

Last year’s game was an overtime thriller that came down to Cabrini winning on penalty kicks that resulted in a CSAC Championship. Just like last year’s game, Saturday’s match went to overtime.

However, for the third time this season the Lady Cavs ended the game in a tie.

Saturday’s match pretty much summed up the majority of the season for the Cavaliers.

The Cavs dominate the statistical battles but still have a hard time pulling out the win.

The Cavs started the game off by outshooting Gwynedd 9-2 in the first half.

Nothing was falling for Cavaliers as they ended the first half in a scoreless tie.

Cabrini ended the half with one save while Bree Thompson and Kristina Startare

had two shots a piece before halftime.

In the second period Kerri Hinkelmon assisted MaryKate McCan for her first goal of the season, giving the blue and white a 1-0 lead a little over halfway through the second half.

The celebration was short lived as Gwynedd-Mercy answered quickly with a goal of their own less than 30 seconds after Cabrini’s.

In the second period Cabrini recorded 15 shots to Gwynedd’s

six. For the game the Cavaliers had a season high 33 shots as well as 14 shots on goal.

Despite the aggressive play and nearly coming close to scoring in the two extra overtime periods, the Lady Cavaliers could not solidify the win.

“We played our game and didn’t back down,” Kaitlyn Cooper said. “Unfortunately our shot ratio was high yet we only finished once.”

The Cavaliers are now 2-2-3 after Saturday’s draw. This

puts the Cavaliers at 0-0-1 in CSAC Conference play ranking them sixth in CSAC standings.

The Cabrini Cavs have their second CSAC game at home on Wednesday, Oct. 2, against Neumann University.

Neumann is ranked last in the CSAC conference but Cabrini isn’t treating them like a slouch. “Nuemannn is extremely physical,” Gabby Meck said.

The Lady Cavs have yet to lose a game at home.

Game time is set for 4 p.m. at the Edith Robb Dixon Field.
