here was nothing but hope, faith and resilience on Saturday, as people from all over the state and Cabrini College students gathered for the Rally for Immigrant Dignity, Respect and Family Unity in Philadelphia.

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the National Day for Human Dignity and Respect, over 60 cities nation-wide held rallies for a just and humane immigration reform demanding to keep families united.

In Pennsylvania, families, students and workers gathered at Love Park to join Pennsylvania’s Immigration and Coalition Citizenship. They demanded a change.

“Immigrants are here because they are hiding, escaping from the oppression in their home countries,” said one of the spokespersons.

Since the Senate passed its immigration bill, over 200,000 people have been deported.

According to Democracynow.org, Border Patrol agents killed at least 19 people at the border since 2010. U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency just now announced new guidelines which was another reason for the gathering in the Love Park.

Bishop Dwayne Royster, executive director of the Philadelphians Organized to Witness, Empower and Rebuild in Philadelphia, said, “I’m thankful today to be here with you because as citizens of the city and citizens of this nation, we stand with you to press forward, a pathway to citizenship, human rights and dignity for all.”

From Kennett Square to Lehigh Valley, everyone came together to march the streets in a peaceful protest to demand an immigration reform at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in the heart of Philadelphia.

“Getting to know new people, forming new connections and sharing our power and our stories, we will arrive at ICE a stronger movement,” one of the leaders said. “We will arrive stronger with more endurance and a greater sense of urgency.”

Snacks and water were given out to everyone and were encouraged to take more for later during the march.

Hundreds of people cheered, “Si se puede” or “yes we can” to let others know that this is a cause that can and needs to be reformed. The spokesperson for PICC asked, “What do we want?”

and the audience replied, “immigration reform.” Again she would call out, “When do we want it?” and the audience replied, “now.” Again she encouraged the protestors, “and if we march in this spirit, we will realize and the world will realize that our movement for immigration reform and end to deportations is unstoppable.”

Posters were handed out to anyone who had a free hand and markers were available if anyone wanted to color in the posters. Alongside of every protester were American flags, hearts and but-

“I think it’s important to realize that college students are known as leaders when it comes to being activists.”

terflies. All three of these symbols were to represent the freedom and human dignity that migrant workers were asking for and were eventually taped onto the ICE building.

“I think it’s important to realize that college students are known as leaders when it comes to being activists,” said Cabrini Mission Corps missioner, Martin Garcia. Garcia was one of the seven Cabrini College representatives at the rally. “So I was happy to see Cabrini students taking an active roll in our country’s history and marching for a more compassionate future,” Garcia said.

“We call on our congress members to put forth legislation that will create a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants that live in this country, who daily add to the culture and race of this nation,” Bishop Royster said.

Before the march to the ICE building, Bishop Royster spoke to the peaceful

protestors to encourage them to continue to open up and fight for their freedom.

“I’m reminded in the second chapter of Matthew, that an angel of the lord came to Joseph in the middle of the night and told Joseph to get Jesus out of Israel and take him to Egypt. They didn’t ask for a visa, they did not ask for a green card, they just got up and went,” Bishop Royster said. “Human rights should know no boundaries and that each and every one of us have been created with intrinsic value in the sight of God. Just like Jesus had to go to Egypt, there are and were folks that came to America for opportunities and for a better life for their families. Allow me to say you are welcome here and we stand with you right now, for a pathway to citizenship, the end of deportations and recognize the humanity of all.”

Other organizations such as New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia, Norristown, Bath, Wilkes-Barre, Kennett Square and Nanticoke Communities, Temple University representatives, Central Baptist Church, 32BJ SEIU Pennsylvania and POWER also came to support the demand for change.

“In the 10 years I have been driving, I have paid just from driving to my job, dropping my wife off at her job, for dropping my children off at school, for doing grocery shopping or doing laundry, I have paid $20,000. Not only that but I have five pounds of receipts to prove I have paid for all of them,” Royster said.

Farmworkers-support committee and activist organization, CATA, consisting of farm workers and other low wage workers living in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland also spoke to the audience.

“CATA’s mission is to educate and to empower farm workers so that we can organize ourselves and demand that our rights be respected both in our work places and our communities,” Crescenciano Sanchez, from Toluca, Mexico and a member of CATA, said.

“CATA has been a party for many years for immigration reform and our people have devoted considerable energy to this struggle, now we are waiting on our elected representatives to do their part and to take action on this matter where we are eagerly hoping to dream of a better life for our families and make this become a reality,” said Sanchez.

Editorial

THURSDAY O CT. 10, 2013

October 17th, not just another Thursday As unfortunate as it is, to many people Oct. 17 doesn’t stand out as a day different from any other. It is on this day, however that we reach the debt limit deadline and have to decide whether or not to raise the debt ceiling. Many people have heard of the debt ceiling but are not informed as to what it truly is or does. The debt ceiling is essentially the limitation on the amount of money the United States can borrow. It is estimated that on Oct. 17 the department will run out of ways to remain under the limit and have no other options in borrowing more money. A portion of congress is now using the debt ceiling as leverage to force President Obama’s hand into repealing the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.

Despite coming close many times before – like in 2011 – the government has never truly defaulted before. This is because though in recent years we have come close, the government understands that whatever issue at hand they are arguing about is less important than the U.S. government’s debt.

U.S. debt is an asset in extremely high demand to other countries at all times. The United States is one of the world’s most economically secure countries in the world, therefore making our promise to pay back our loans; a belief held in high regard and

faith. Defaulting on our debt because we did not raise our debt ceiling can be catastrophic for not only our economy, but also our reputation. The stock market would plummet and interest rates would rise. We could dig ourselves into a hole we can never crawl out of with this one. We are in the making of a depression worse than any we have ever seen.

With all of this information as a major concern, many do not even seem to be conscious of the predicament we are in. This troubling lack of national awareness only continues to grow. With the government shut down, there’s no telling when this issue will become a higher priority in the eyes of more Americans. It raises the question of not only how this monumental disaster in the making has escaped the eyes of Americans, but also how it has evaded our attention till now. It is astonishing to us as an informed staff how little people know about what is going on in their country, not just with the debt ceiling, but with the government shutdown and Obamacare as well. In a world where technology and news can be at our fingertips at all times of the day, we feel this country has never been so ill-informed...

And it baffles us.

With all of this information as a major concern, many do not even seem to be conscious of the predicament we are in.

“I shall not bless the debt ceiling because it brings concern to fellow citizens of the United States.”

Jennarose DiGiacomo, Lifestyles Editor

“It scares me that this is even a possibility right now. I never thought we would be in this position.”

Alexa Milano, News Editor

“The debt ceiling is a direct result of extreme polarization within America’s political system. There needs to be a middle ground where both sides can come together to get things done.”

Greg Smith, News Editor

“The fact that the debt ceiling decision is being used as a bargaining chip during the shutdown frustrates me beyond belief.”

Heather LaPergola, Editor-in-Cheif

“Members of the tea party are so rutted in their traditions they would rather stand fast than save the credibility of this country.”

Ryan McLaughlin, Managing Editor

“It worries me that we are using a national problem as leverage to resovle an already existing problem. ” Rachel Antuzzi, Perspectives Editor

The search for Cabrini’s next president has begun

BY DAN LUNER Photo Editor

Who will be the next president of Cabrini College? That is the question being asked around campus. The extensive process to find potential candidates has officially begun.

The search committee, under Chair Tom Nerney, is now underway and the job description has been posted. Though how does the process work and what does the committee look for when searching and sifting through candidates?

The search committee consists of 13 members including trustees, professors and one student. The committee also works with a search firm to help guide and support the process. Korn/Ferry International is the firm helping Cabrini with this very important task. Tom Nerney, chair of the board of trustees, provided insight on the search.

Nerney and the committee together establish the qualifications needed for the job.

Nerney said, “We focus more on key leadership characteristics rather than specific professional experiences.” They are also looking for, “Individuals who have demonstrated the ability to lead a multifaceted, large organization like Cabrini and who can inspire our community.”

Nerney also said that when it comes specifically to Cabrini, candidates must, “Connect with our mission and heritage and have experience in innovating and creating new things.”

Senior Greg Robinson is currently the student body president and is also the student representative on the search committee. Robinson said, “What I look for in a presidential candidate is the ability to connect with the students on a everyday basis.” He added, “It is a very hard task because, not only do I have to speak for the friends and people I hang out with but also for the students who are commuters, students who have different interests than me, and of course, students who are quiet.” Robinson has a solution for this problem. “One way I plan on making this role more interactive with the student body is a way that works 100 percent,” Robinson said. “That is asking the student body and using the Student Government representatives by bringing information back to our weekly meetings.”

“If you have anything you would like to know or have any suggestion/questions I should ask at our next meeting please email me at sga@cabrini.edu,” Robinson said.

He concluded, “Whoever the next president may be, I hope they come in ready to hit the ground running because Cabrini College is ready for a change.”

Students on campus had various opinions on what a president should be as well.

Sophomore education major Molly McDougall hopes for, “Someone who really loves Cabrini and will go the extra mile for the campus.” She continued by saying, “They would have to be a strong leader and make decisions that are for the best of the community as a whole.”

DAN LUNER / PHOTO EDITOR

Who will be next to take over the President’s Office in the mansion?

Junior human resources major Dana Millio is looking for someone, “To represent our community with respect and professionalism.” She added, “And it wouldn’t hurt to be a Greek life alumni!”

Lastly, sophomore math major Justin Juliano said, “Our future president should share the same values that Mother Cabrini set forth.”

There are other requirements candidates must have before even applying. Candidates must possess a doctorate degree and understand the technical as well as functional skills needed to guide a liberal arts college. Candidates must also not be afraid to challenge the status quo and be able to build motivated, high-performing teams.

Nerney concluded with the simple idea that, “Cabrini is an institution that is very focused on students’ experiences and outcomes, so we’ll be looking for candidates who clearly understand the importance of this emphasis.”

Cabrini House is no longer: The house belonging to the president of Cabrini College is being sold

BY SE’QUIA BAILEY Lifestyles Editor

In the summer of 2012, President Marie George moved into the $1,400,000 Cabrini House. Now after her resignation, it is being sold.

The Cabrini house was first located on Crow Creek however the Board of Trustees felt the house was unsafe and an inconvenience after former president harmed herself.

“The house we had for the president on Crow Creek road had major flaws and was not very handicap accessible,” interim president Debra Takes said. “We thought if our president can’t walk up her own house how can her guests possibly walk it.”

The Cabrini house located on Matsonford road was to accomodate not only the president but guests as well.

“Sometimes the groups were too small to utilize the mansion,” Takes said. “The Cabrini house is a little more personal.”

There were some concerns that there would be major financial cutbacks from the purchasing and almost immediate selling of the house. “We sold the house on Crow Creek added some money to that and bought the Cabrini newer Cabrini house,” Takes said. “So there was no true financial loss at all.”

“Decisions to sell, to buy or any kind of assets and real

estates falls under the purview of board of trustees,” Takes said.

Despite rumors, the newer house was not at the demands of former president Marie George.

“When the house was first bought the college was smaller,” Takes said. “When we grew we outgrew the house.” The ever growing community of Cabrini called for a larger space.

At the moment, the selling of the Cabrini house is a proposal.” Oct. 18th, we will have our board meeting,” Takes said. “The selling of the house is on the agenda to be discussed.” Although a former member of the board, Takes has no final say in the decision to sell. “While I expect that they will approve the sale of Cabrini house, I can’t guarantee that,” Takes said. “I can’t imagine that why wouldn’t sell the house.”

Although the Cabrini house is being sold, Cabrini still owns property that will serve the same purpose. “Back in April we purchased property along Upper Gulf road,” Takes said. “It was paid for by an anonymous donor.”

The two houses has been in the eye of Cabrini for a while according to Takes. “Had those houses been for sale at the time we were looking, the house on Matsonford Road would not have been purchased,” Takes said.

As interim president Takes decided there was no reason for her to even move into the house. “I already have a home,” Takes said, “it would make no sense for me to

move in to have to move right back out.” Takes has no true need for the house which currently awaits the decision of being sold.

One house will serve similarly to Cabrini’s previous house before to house the president of the school as well as host events for donors of the Cabrini community. The board is still deciding on the purpose of the second house.

“One house really needs a lot of work done to it,” Takes said. “We don’t know if we are going to make it an office or tear it down.”

The house most recently purchased is even more accessible as far as distance and parking. “You can walk right to the house from this campus,” Takes said. “I think its an extension of the campus.”

Takes knows that the board will make the right decisions at the Oct. 18th board meeting. She has no doubts that this decision will ultimately benefit the Cabrini community as a whole. “This is a very pragmatic board, they take their positions very seriously,” Takes said. “They take care and are very concerned with the business of this school.”

City of Detroit faces bankruptcy, over $18 billion in debt MCTCAMPUS

White House spokesperson Jay Carney discusses the situation involving the debt ceiling and the lack of cooperation within the House of Representatives, particularly the Tea Party on October 4, 2013 in Washington, DC.

Glimmer of hope, White House states there is a possible opening on debt ceiling After weeks of near silence with no sign of compromise, there may be a deal to prevent a potential default on October 17. While it is still up to Congress to pass the debt limit increase, steps are being made in the right direction. However, Obama will not give any credit until the deal goes in for a vote, preventing any further events that could lead to an econmic catastrophe. White House spokesperson Jay Carney stated, “Our position is only that it ought not to be a political football, because it’s a dangerous political football,” Carney said. “And you know, fumbling that football can cost you a lot more than seven points. It can tank the economy.”

Creator of braille code for math dies at age 94 Abraham Nemeth, creator of the Nemeth Code, developed braille to help the visually impaired study complex math problems. He died in his home Wednesday in Southfield, Michigan at the age of 94. As a young man, Nemeth also struggled in math and saw the struggles of others, particularly the visually impaired. His code is still used by schools today.

Years after the auto industry bailout, Detroit is once again facing more financial issues. The city is over $18 billion in debt, with another $19.1 million added on by companies that were hired to sort through that debt. It is the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in the nation’s history in terms of both the city’s population and its debt. Staeps are being taken to correct the city’s debt, although officials say it may take years to sort out.

Colorado citizens vote to secede and create new state Citizens of eastern Colorado say they have had enough of the state and its Democratic leaders. “I would’ve never believed the state of Colorado would become this liberal,” said Lyle Miller, a convienience store owner. Others like Miller will vote in November to try and secede from Colorado and begin a new state. While many liberal citizens claim this idea is absurd, Jeffrey Hare, a leader of the 51st State Initiative, which supports secession says, “It’s really not. What we’re attempting to do is restore liberty.”

“I feel good about being here, it is important because we need our papers, we need our documents. There are a lot of people who are still living in fear and they shouldn’t be, though it is important for me to be here and participate so that stops happening,” Sanchez said. “Farm workers contribute a lot to food services, without our work that we do picking crops and getting food to the tables, this country wouldn’t run.

It’s time for this country to acknowledge the value of our contributions as migrant workers, as farm workers, by giving us the same rights as citizens, the rights we deserve.”

“Even though we pay our taxes and stimulate the economy with our own money, we are kept under the poverty line, with a low quality of life, the well-being of our communities is uninsured in this country

and we are all so tired of living in the shadows,” Sanchez said.

“The fight for migrant justice goes beyond asking for basic human LOQUITUR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER rights as farm and migrant workers are respected,” Sanchez said. “Rather it is a challenge to society, a challenge to organize life without the influence of fear and ignorance, instead guided by courage and a respectful human dignity for all human beings.”

The rally was especially inspiring to Cabrini students, “I can honestly say the rally was the highlight of my semester. I understood that we were helping support immigrants but hearing their stories really affected me,” Ashlee Grazier, senior business and administrative major, said. “I really felt connected to the immigrants’ stories because of the injustice they were subjected to.”

Once the protestors marched to the ICE building, more stories were shared and tears were shed as children put up their homemade hearts and butterflies, asking for their families’ freedom, the entire experience was inspirational and moving.

Bishop Royster ended the protest by stating, “We want immigration reform. We are not going to remain silent anymore. We demand humane immigration reform.”

Students had a ball in this year’s dodgeball tournament

BY ARIEL MELENDEZ Staff Writer

“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.” This was just one of the few rules seen when walking into the Dixon Center for the dodgeball tournament held here at Cabrini.

A few other rules included that each team would only be allowed five players on the court at a time and that they could only hold on to the ball for a total of five seconds. Three teams showed up to participate in this tournament.

Ackeem Jones, a junior IST major, was a member of one team that had been formed while the tournament had been in progress.

His team may not have ended up winning but that did not stop him from having a good time. When asked if he would participate again, Jones was very enthusiastic about it “Yes,” he said. “I had fun.”

He surely was not the only one who had a great time. There may not have been a lot of participants in this tournament, but the students involved definitely made up for that with the energy and excitement they showed on and off the court.

Owen Moore, a sophomore participant, was a member of the team that finished the tournament in second place.

“I thought it would be a lot of fun,” he said

“And something me and the roommates would have a bonding moment over.” Moore was glad he was able to get closer to said roommates and even to some people that he had not known before. To sum up his experience in one sentence, Moore had this to say, “I loved it.”

He was definitely one of many students that came away from the tournament with the same feelings.

This would not have been a true tournament if there was not a winner in the end.

What do you mean the government ‘shut down?’

BY SAHRA ALI Staff Writer

So the government shutdown. What exactly does that mean? Why did it happen? Is it going to affect me? These are the questions many are asking, and with good reason.

The United States Government shutdown for the first time since 1995. The last shutdown occurred in 199596 following former President Clinton’s funding for Medicare. The last shutdown had lasted 27 days; let’s hope this one doesn’t take that long. If like me you have no recollection of the last shutdown, then this one may

teach us something.

So how did this shutdown come about? According to the Washington Post “the House and Senate are supposed to agree on 12 appropriations bills to fund the federal agencies and set spending priorities. Congress has become really bad at passing these bills, so in recent years they’ve resorted to stopgap budgets to keep the government funded The last stopgap passed on March 28, 2013, and ends on Sept. 30.” Since House Republicans and Senate Democrats couldn’t agree on a spending bill for the new fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1 the federal government has indeed shut itself down.

So what does this shutdown mean for most of us? Well for many the government shutting down has not much of an impact. In fact if they don’t look at the news they wouldn’t even know. But for the rest there may be unwanted consequences that occur from it. Many government functions will shut down but not all. According to Brad Plumer from the Washington Post “There are a whole bunch of key government functions that carry on during a shutdown, including anything related to national security, public safety, or programs written into permanent law (like Social Security).” The shutdown could also have negative effects on the economy as well.

This back and forth quarrel between the House and Senate just seems so ridiculous. I mean do they not think about how this is affecting the rest of the country? So many things are put on hold. Federal employees have been laid off, National Parks have been closed, funding for many

federal run programs have stopped. “They” need to come back and face reality. Progress is not going to be made that way.

The two sides are so far apart from each other in terms of what they want, so it seems that none is willing to give in. Americans are also divided on this issue it seems.

According to a poll done by CBS News Republicans in Congress receive more of the blame for the shutdown: 44 percent of Americans blame them, while 35 percent put more blame on President Obama and the Democrats in Congress.

Compromise is key. If no one is willing to compromise then no one is going to get anywhere. Everbody just wants to strongly hold on to what they want but neither wants to let anything go. Being stubborn and wanting it your way isn’t going to solve the problem. And neither is playing the blame game.

I think that both Congress and Senate need to set aside their differences and really look at what decisions needed to be made for the bettering of the country. I have not a clue as to how long this shutdown will last, or what kind of resolution there will be, I just know that there needs to be one.

They are just postponing the inevitable. One side will eventually have to give up, it’s just a matter of who and when.

Is technology a blessing or a curse?

BY ALEXA FERRAGINE Staff Writer

Because of the advances in technology, people are more connected than ever.

However, our dependcy has grown with the technological advances and while information is readily available, our ability and desire to actually talk to one another is going away.

With the new and current smart phones available, the world is at our fingertips. Our lives are controlled by the device in our hands and instead of looking around and actually talking to people all you see are the tops of people’s heads looking down as real life passes right by.

With all the help that technology gives us, people rely on it way too much. Our everyday knowledge of common information is going away.

New smartphone text messaging and abbreviation lingo works well when

communicating through a device, but we have forgotten how to communicate with real people when they are standing right in front of us. Smartphones now have auto correct and lets people misspell any word and the phone will automatically correct it if it’s misspelled. This may result in people not knowing how to spell and have good grammar because your smart phone will just fix it for you.

Most people now, have very little communication skills other than text messaging. With all the texting, tweeting and Facebook messaging that is now on your smartphone people have lost the face-to-face interaction skills because people are so glued to just texting that person or shooting them a quick email on their smart phone.

Soon enough people will be so consumed with communicating just over their smart phone or other device. They won’t feel the need to learn these other very important social skills.

All the different interactions such as social media on your smart phones can also cause trouble for people in the future if they are not smart about what they post with their personal information. People take advantage of posting every single bit of their life on social media. They do not understand that there is some information that should not be shared.

People are always on social media sites posting every little thing they are doing.

This can be a bad thing because people are slowly and gradually spending more time

behind their cell phone screens instead of actually doing the thing they are tweeting about or posting on Facebook. Life is being experienced through social media instead of real life.

Smart phones are becoming more and more of a problem because of the accessibility it gives us to different social media sites. I have no problem with Twitter and Facebook etc. However, smart phones are making it worse by putting these media sites to your cell phone.

People are posting things that can get them in trouble with their current employers, future emplyers, even their

current teachers. I know some teachers and other Cabrini accounts follow me on twitter or able to see what I post. Therefore I am always careful about what I share through my smart phone onto social media, knowing that someday it can come back to haunt me. What most people don’t understand is that once you send it out from your smart phone to the world, it will never be erased and it will never go away.

Falling in love with fall

BY ARIEL MELENDEZ Staff Writer

Fall weather is in the air when Pumpkin Spice Lattes are being sold once again.

Fall is in the air when you can finally break out the uggs and comfy sweatshirts.

The weather isn’t the only way to determine the time of year, especially when it isn’t weather we are used to seeing in October.

When it comes to what I think, fall is truly in the air when I can go to Wawa and get myself that Pumpkin Spice Latte I mentioned earlier. That is when I know that the fall season is upon us. If we take a look at some more obvious things, we would notice that leaves change color and start to fall from the trees. We would

start seeing less “shorts weather” and start seeing “sweatpants weather” take its place.

For most people, fall is the time to head back for another school year. While this may be true, it’s not the only thing that fall brings. For me, fall also brings the return of sports such as hockey and football. The return of my favorite teams, the Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings and the New York Giants, always brings a sense of happiness into my life. Sports was always a big part of my family as I was growing up. If you ask any of my friends, they’ll probably tell you that I’m a bit obsessed. I certainly would not deny this.

Sports are one of the things that help me when I need to get away from any stress from classes or friends. It gives me the opportunity to bond with other people who are fans of the same teams or just of the sport itself.

When I was in high school, I knew it was fall when the Millville/Vineland football game came around. This is a rivalry game that is played every year around Thanksgiving, another sign that the fall season has arrived. The location of this game changed from year to year but the atmosphere was always the same. Going back to the date of this game, Thanksgiving is another sign that the season has changed from summer to fall. My favorite part about Thanksgiving is getting to eat an abundance of tur-

key and mashed potatoes, two of my favorite foods. Nothing is better than a Thanksgiving meal and an intense game of football. At least that is how I feel.

Playing softball is yet another factor that helps me determine it is the fall season. Softball may not actually begin until the spring, but the fall season allows me to be able to practice with the girl I’ll be playing with come the actual season. It gives us the chance to get to know each other and bond before the craziness of the season begins. It is mainly just practices but they serve as a type of conditioning to help us get back into the groove of playing. It is probably one of my favorite things when it comes to fall. I love to play softball so it’s great to be able to play here at Cabrini. Being part of a team like the one here is an amazing feeling for me.

If I had to pick one last thing that gave me the feeling of fall being here, I would have to go with the return of many of my favorite shows. These include Greys Anatomy and How I Met Your Mother. I love be able to immerse myself in these shows and watch as they throw me in many different directions throughout the episodes. I love watching the drama, the cliffhangers and anything else that happens to come out during the episodes.

I fall in love with the characters and the plot line so much that I feel like I’m a part of the story with them. I love being able to feel that way.

The return of the fall season can be shown in these ways and many more. It doesn’t just have to do with the weather outside. It can be anything you want.

Fall is coming fast and the trees all over campus are dressing up for the occasion

Changing the world, one 3D printer at a time

BY CODY CALISE Staff Writer

Technology in the 21st century continues to make us think twice before we actually can believe it is in fact there. The latest trend being 3D printers, and yes, you read that right. Scientists and engineers have invented a product that can help print out something very similar to the real deal. Here’s how it works: the machine reads the design from an .stl file and lays down successive layers of liquid, powder, paper or sheet material to build the model from a series of cross sections. These layers, which correspond to the virtual cross sections from the CAD model, are joined or automatically fused to create

the final shape. The primary advantage of this technique is its ability to create almost any shape or geometric feature. Visually it looks like a like a hot-glue gun attached to a robotic arm. But instead of squeezing out glue, the tube extrudes plastic.

Now you may be wondering about how much the average 3D printer might be. The estimated cost is about $300,000. However Jonathan Fincher, a writer for Gizmag.com, doesn’t think this will be the case for long.

As of right now Fincher explains 3D printers are only accessible from “specialist stores and online shops” and that you couldn’t just “waltz into your local office supply store and pick one up along with a pack of manila folders and paperclips.”

Until prices start to decrease, the average American household will only be able to read about this new trend.

NASA has been on board with this new technology from day one. They are preparing a launch of a 3D printer into space next year. The printer is the size of a toaster oven.

It also greatly reduces the need for astronauts to load up with every tool, spare part or supply they might ever need. “Any time we realize we can 3D print something in space, it’s like Christmas,” inventor Andrew Filo said, who is consulting with NASA on the project. “You can get rid of concepts like rationing, scarce or irreplaceable.”

The idea of a machine that could shrink the size of valuable space tools for astronauts is a huge breakthrough in science.

The price of a 3D printer could be beneficial for society as a whole. This technology is a good thing if used for the right cause, but it can also be used in a negative way.

Cody Wilson, a Texan law student, actually created a 3D gun replica. The United States Army immediately called for the tutorial to be removed online. It was removed after being downloaded over 100,000 times. Imagine if a terrorist group received the right information to produce not only hand guns but nuclear warfare. The result could be catastrophic. The United States needs to monitor where these printers are being sold and for what reasons.

Properly sold, these printers can begin to take a giant step forward in fighting world hunger. Hod Lipson, a Cornell engineering professor and 3D expert, conducted an experiment. His idea was to create his very own 3D meal, to create plates, forks, place mats, napkins rings, candlesticks — and, of course, 3D-printed food. The only problem is expenses; each piece of plastic cost about 50 dollars. The machine tends to overheat so the amount of objects you can print out will depend on how your machine reacts to its job.

Lipson also believes that if used properly, the new Facebook trend will be to replicate yourself. The social network would explode with the idea that you can replicate anything that comes to mind. The entire 3D printer is fascinating. If used properly, many problems around the world could be solved by a simple click of the button.

The negative of that is all of the world’s problems could be started with one simple click as well. Technology is growing to benefit human life. We need to take advantage of that privilege and combat problems not create them.

ALL PHOTOS AMARRA BOONE

Sophomore Meghan Loughman is far from camera shy

If walls could talk

BY AMARRA BOONE Staff Writer

An uncontrollable nervousness overcomes you as you wait outside the freshman dorm door. Anxiously waiting to walk through the doors you will soon call home. Unsure if your roommate will like the same music as you or even think that your poster of One Direction is cool.

The first major decision of any college student is not enrolling in classes or determining which club to join, it is decorating your new pad. The intricate detail that goes into your room reflects you as person, whether you are a messy Jessie or a neat Nate.

Marykate Kelly says, “I’m definitely a messy Jessie.” Kelly a sophomore psychology major, came into school with an open-minded view for her new room décor. As you walk into her room you see her bed pushed against the wall, a desktop Mac playing Gilmore Girls on her desktop and a eye catching Disney princess poster on the wall.

“I just packed everything I had and unpacked it in the room.

I laugh at how much stuff I have as most of it ends up on my roommate who is also a sorority sister of mine.” There was no method to Kelly's madness, yet the madness in her room screamed free spirit college student.

Josh Schulte far from a messy Jessie takes great pride in his room set up. Schulte a senior triple major, lives with all guys but says they do not have your stereotypical bachelor pad.

“I like my room neat," Schulte said. "This is the messiest that it will ever be." However, if you look at his room, you would never consider it dirty. It is a smaller room compared to his suite mates’ but definitely full of creativity and incorporates a lot of organization.

Schulte can relate to most guys with his media set-up.

“Other than my games, Netflix is a big thing," Schulte said, "this makes the perfect opportunity for friends to come over, hang out and enjoy themselves."

As you look around the walls of Schulte's room you'll see a

variety of posters from Japanese art to sports and video games.

The influence of Japanese art derives from his interest in the culture. “I have accumulated posters since freshman year.

Majority of them up now are from just this past year and this year,” Schulte said.

For senior suite-mates Erin Bowker and Rebecca Rambo, decorating their college room has been enjoyable. It has been a bonding experience for both them and their roommates, whom they've both had since freshman year.

Rambo uses pink curtains to hide the contents of her closet and add a glamorous accent to her room. The Eeyore pillow pet on her bed adds a youthful touch to the room.

The set of the room was strategic. “My roommate moved everything around," Rambo said, "we wanted open space on the floor.” Her room serves as a communal area for friends to hang. "The more open space the better," Rambo said.

As you walk around the room you notice a section of post-it notes pasted to the wall. For Rambo there is a special reason why the notes are on the wall. “The notes are from friends," Rambo said, "reading them sometimes makes me feel better when I need to hear something nice.”

Suite-mate Erin Bowker can relate to having nostalgic decorations that reflect her experiences at Cabrini. She has posted above her closet every name tag given by a resident assistant or quirky drawing from freshman year. “The name tags make the room feel like a timeless memory,” Bowker said.

Your room is uniquely designed, the perfect set-up and a place to retreat when you don't have to been in class." I wouldn't change anything about my room," Schulte said, "I feel good knowing that my room was put together just the way I like it."

A little sass and sangria MIDTERMS AHH!!!

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.

I was talking with my editors and it seems as though no one has written in yet to my column. I’m here to offer the best advice I can give. I know I’m not a professional, but I’m just trying to give anyone advice who may want it. I would love to hear from everyone in the Cabrini family, but one person each week is just enough to keep my column strong and thriving. But, I know midterms are approaching so one of my friends took the reins and decided to talk about midterms, and how to distress yourself during such a stressful week.

With midterms approaching, everyone is stressing.

Well I’m here to tell you how to get through the weeks without freaking out. If you start to feel overwhelmed take a step back. Get up and take a walk around campus.

Take the time to gather all your thoughts and get some fresh air.

Also, if you are struggling with something, ask for help.

No need to feel ashamed about it. The best way to stay stress free is to keep organized. Make sure you write everything down, like a “To Do List” and check everything off as you do it. When you see the list diminishing you will feel accomplished.

Also don’t forget to sleep!

Sleeping is the best way to relax yourself when you are stressed. Good luck!

But, if you’re 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!

After graduating from college, it’s all a matter of deciding what the next step is. Whether it be continuing education at graduate school or finding a job at a company, every graduate will have the difficult decision to make as to what they want their future to look like.

Cabrini College alumna Lindsay Dittbrenner had enough of the drama that came with job searching so she opted for something else instead. She decided to start up her own business. “It was one month since the day after graduating from Cabrini," Dittbrenner said, "I had already sat through my fair share of interviews, and was getting tired of applying to jobs that I didn’t truly want."

Frustrated with the lack of response from the job market Dittbrenner chose a unique route. "I didn’t want to apply to any more jobs," Dittbrenner said, "so in the spur of the moment I figured if I could create something awesome, maybe someone would buy it.”

Dittbrenner named her business after her twitter name.

That's when Sass and Sangria was born. The company caters mostly to college students and recent graduates, but customers of all ages come in and shop there.

Dittbrenner wanted to create and make products since she was creative, but instead she said that her company had

become more of a boutique. She started carrying brands like Kiel James Patrick, Krass & Co., Lilly Pulitzer, Judith March and many others. She also had the S&S signature brand for ladies and Great Dane Gear for men. A lot of her personal style inspired the products she carries. “I love the classic preppy style," Dittbrenner said, "I grew up on the Main Line so it’s in my blood.”

Startinga new business isn’t all rainbows and butterflies.

There is a lot of responsibility and paperwork that comes with it. “The hardest part is having the money to get started," Dittbrenner said "I’m pretty money savvy." Dittbrenner was an accounting major at Cabrini college and describes herself as being "really frugal."

Dittbrenner knows that in the end it will all be worth it. So she carries on hoping to come that much closer to her ultimate goal. “It’s disappointing, exciting, exhausting," Dittbrenner said. "I’d say just about every other day I think about saying ‘never mind’ but I know a few years from now it will pay off.”

New season, new you, new fall trends

BY ALEXA FERRAGINE Staff Writer

Say goodbye to shorts and flip-flops and break out the jeans and riding boots. Fall is here and so is the fashion.

The fall season brings great trends to fashion and will probably be bringing more as the season progresses. There are so many different ways to go about sporting these current trends.

Many different fashion statements will be trending this fall. As fall starts, camo pattern is appearing in many different ways in clothing. You can incorporate this look in a bold or subtle way.

If you’re thinking of making a statement with your camo trend, American Eagle has camo jeggings for $49.95. These pants can be paired with a pop of solid color such as a colored t-shirt or just a simple black top.

If you want to go with a less bold statement of camo, Bongo, at Sears, sells a cross-body bag for $30.

This can be paired with an outfit to add a little pop to a simple look.

Another hot item is plaid shirts. They are able to be worn so many different ways and have many different patterns available to choose from.

When layering a plaid shirt be sure to pair it with another pattern. A solid color under it will do and over it you can pair that with a army jacket or pick a color that matches with the certain plaid color you choose to wear.

Plaid can also be worn with leggings and cute boots. This is a quick effortless outfit to put together.

Another trendy way to wear a plaid shirt is to simply tie it around your waist.

Looking for a way to dress up your outfit? Pair a statement necklace with whatever your wearing and you will have a trendy polished look instantly.

Back to school, monsters style

BY LAUREN HIGHT Staff Writer

For college students everywhere, their childhood was revisited this summer with one of the year's highly anticipated films. Disney's "Monsters University", the prequel to "Monsters Inc.", was released to theaters across the nation in June and will soon be available on DVD and Blu Ray on Oct. 29.

"Monsters University" (MU) follows Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan (Sulley) through their adventures as freshmanyear college students. Although they are best friends in "Monsters Inc." they have not always been that way. While they are both scaring majors, their study habits set them apart that forms an instant rivalry between them to who will become the better scarer. This rivalry becomes so intense that it eventually backlashes on them and they are removed from their hopes of graduating from the MU School of Scaring.

Mike and Sulley now have to overcome their differences and fight for their right to be back in the scaring program to achieve their dreams of becoming first class scarers.

Overall this movie provided a great background story to how

Mike and Sulley got to where they were in "Monsters Inc." and it brought a bunch of laughs along the way. It was funny and charming watching these two rivals turned friends experience college life together and is enjoyable for everyone in the family.

College students in particular have shown great interest to MU because it not only provides us with a flashback to our younger days but is relate-able to our current situations. Mike and Sulley experience Greek Life, sit through class lectures and show their school spirit against MU's rival Fear Tech.

"Monsters University" showed us Mike and Sulley's youth and allowed us to look back on ours, whether you are a current college student remembering watching Monsters Inc. with your parents or if you are a parent thinking back to your college days.

Regardless, this movie was an uplifting prequel and we look forward to what Disney has in store for us next.

Lady Cavs dominate in Play 4 Cure game 8-0 Men’s golf takes 11th place over the weekend

BY JASON WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The Mason-Dixon Collegiate Classic was this weekend’s destination for the Cavaliers golf team.

The Cavs started out strong tying for third place on day one of the classic, but the second round produced drastically different results from the first.

Blue and White finished the second and final day in 11th place shooting a team total of 334 for that day, which was significantly worst than the day one team total score of 309. The Cavs finished with a two-day total of 643.

The Cavaliers were led by senior leader Rob Bass, who finished tied for 22nd place after shooting a +13 for both days.

Not far behind were freshmen Dan Gentilucci and Michael Rojas who both finished tied for 39th place.

Women’s field hockey in their Play 4 Cure practice shirts

BY HOWARD BLAKE Staff Writer

The Cabrini women’s field hockey team took on the Cedar Crest College Eagles on Oct. 8th. The Eagles proved not to be much of a task for the Lady Cavs as they torched Cedar Crest 8-0.

This is Lady Cavs first shutout of the season.

There was a much bigger headline, as Cabrini was apart of the Play 4 a Cure initiative. Like many teams across the country, the game raised money for breast cancer research and awareness.

The Cavs dressed up in pink cleats and pink accessories in honor of the cause for the game.

The Cavaliers certainly didn’t disappoint as Sophomore Kerry Anne Farrell started off the massacre with a goal not even three minutes into the game. Just under four minutes later Karlie

Gruccio scored a goal of her own.

Senior Erin McLaughlin notched her sixth goal of the year to give Cabrini a 3-0 lead only eight minutes into the game.

Farrell found her second goal of the day assisted by sophomore Jen Webb. Farrells goal marks her CSAC Conference leading 11th goal of the season. Senior

Stephanie Toomey ended the first half with her first goal of the night giving the Cavs a 5-0 halftime lead.

To start the second half the Cavaliers were not complacent as Junior Kylie McDevitt scored her first goal of the season giving the Cavs a 6-0 lead. For the second time, Toomey notched a goal

assisted by sophomore Tiffany Phillips. Sophomore Meghan Loughman scored her second goal of the year icing the score and giving Cabrini an 8-0 win.

The Cavaliers dominated the statistics as they outshot the Eagles 22-3 with 19 of the 22 shots being on goal. With their third consecutive win, the Cavaliers advance to 5-6 on the year with a CSAC record of a perfect 3-0 thus far; putting the Cavaliers in first place in the CSAC. The Cavaliers travel to Gwynedd-Mercy University on Oct. 16, as the two squads have a rematch of last year’s CSAC Championship game. Game time is set for 6 p.m.

(Pictured above) Courtney Good swam a 1:03 in her final race last season one second off from the Cabrini College record.

BY AMBER MARSHALL Staff Writer

During the final swim meet of the season, she didn’t know why she took two pairs of goggles to the start with her, but she did. She was mentally prepared to swim the 100-yard backstroke. She jumped in the water, and her goggles snapped! In panic she looked to the official who is preparing to start the race with a take your mark go; she shouts to a bystander “get my goggles, they are on the chair!” As the bystander tosses the goggles into the pool, the official looks on in confusion; she tossed the goggles on and the race is underway.

Maybe it was the confusion, maybe it was the hype, maybe it was the panic but Courtney Good swam a 1:03 in her final race that season. This was an all time best, making her just 1 second away from the Cabrini College record.

Good has been swimming since she was 7 years old, yet only began swimming at Cabrini College during her junior year. Good is now a senior social work major, who plans to attend graduate school to get her masters in social work. Currently she is considering West Chester University and Widener University as her top choices, but hasn’t made a definite decision yet.

Splitting time between an internship

at Lower Merion Counseling Services, school, swimming, social work club and work at the Dixon Center pool, Good has remained focused and ambitious.

Swimming has provided Good with a sense of discipline, structure and timemanagement. Although she wouldn’t describe herself as overly competitive or someone who stresses about a race, she has set the goal of breaking the record for the 100 YD back which was set in 2008 by Katie Manning.

Good calls Lake Hopatcong, N.J., home where she lives with her mother Kim and her 15-year-old sister Taylor.

She comes from a close-knit family, with both her mom and dad’s extended relatives supporting her. As her main support system they attend swim meets whenever possible and always encourage her to do the very best she can.

During her freshman and sophomore year Good chose not to swim. During that time she wasn’t very involved in clubs on campus. As she reflects on her time at Cabrini Good recalls a feeling of not really being part of the school, but sophomore year she joined the social work club. Although she enjoys the club, it still wasn’t enough. When she joined the swim team junior year, it just clicked for her. Now she really feels like she is a part of something, yet she doesn’t regret not joining more.

“Courtney is not only an amazing teammate, but an amazing friend,” Megan Tustin, a junior swim-team member, said. “She is always cheering for everyone and there for support.”

Good described herself as a private person but feels that once you get to know her she’s nice, friendly and will always have your back. She keeps to herself because she’s driven to get things done.

“I was lucky enough to have Courtney as I grew up, as a role model, best friend and someone I could look at as an older sister,” Reilly Boyle, Goods’ hometown best friend, said. “She is one of the strongest people I know and has really taught me to embrace every single day with a smile. As an athlete Courtney has always been special; she is so naturally talented but her extra effort and work ethic make her that much more admirable. Courtney is the type of person I know will always be there for me.”

With a great support system behind her Good is ready to finish her senior year with a bang. She’s ready to break that record. This is her final year and she has decided to give it her all.
