Awaken Change

Students Mackenzie Harris and Sarah Czarnomski interviewing via skype with student leaders and Hong Kong protesters

“Our parents try to stop us from participating and I lied to my parents, for three days, because they don’t think democracy is good,” second year Hong Kong Baptist University student, Stephanie Chan said. “I didn’t quite share much with them about anything other than that I typed my opinions via Facebook.

Perhaps our parents think we are too childish?”

Just like Chan, students in Hong Kong, China are coming together to stand up to their government to receive their promised democratic rights. On Saturday, Oct. 11, students skyped with three students to talk about what is going on in Hong Kong right now.

“In general, protests never happen here, certainly not to this degree. This is significant,” Robert Iodice, former Cabrini engineer and current instructor for theatre practicum who traveled to Hong Kong for a project, said.

“Teargas has only been used on the streets of Hong Kong twice in its entire history: once in the mid

‘60s, interestingly to break up leftists from a fledgling pro-communist movement, and a second time in 2006. That’s it. Substantially more tear gas has been expended now than both earlier uses combined and crowds have never been shot with rubber bullets before. This is big.”

Along with Chan her friend Sophie Hong from Hong Kong Baptist University and Donald Tsui from Lingnan University, all three just in their second year about 18-19-years-old, spoke about their involvement within the movement. Speaking with such passion about the change they wish to see for their future government, they talk about this idea of “awaking change.” “[Older generations] they start to realize that they need to learn about political situation of Hong Kong. Therefore they awaken change,” Hong said. “University students are more united because of this movement.”

Students come together whether that is through the use of social media via WhatsUp App, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, making posters or signs, taking photos, helping hand out food

and water or creating stations for people to charge their cell phones and cameras, this is the epitome of solidarity. No matter where in Hong Kong the protesters were from, where they went to school or what their ethnicity, everyone came together hand in hand to help make a change for one cause.

“I participate in this movement because I think I have to voice my opinion,” Chan said.

“Towards this unfair situation of Hong Kong because actually I was not politically conscious two years ago.”

According to the students, the government is saying that the election that they had was unfair.

Tsui is studying social sciences about politics, social policies and sociology in school.

“First we had a class boycott movement, we give up our classes and go to other places to attend another lecture about some democracy lessons or some social lessons.”

Achievement gap widens for many students

BY CHRISTLE GEHMAN Lifestyles Editor This year, about 50 million students have already gone back to around 98,000 public elementary/secondary schools for the fall 2014 semester, according to the Institute of Education Services.

The achievement gap is defined

by IES as, “when one group of students outperforms another group and the difference in average scores for the two groups is statistically significant.”

This gap has shown improvement according to the Education Trust, which says that by 2007, the amount of African American fourth graders who could not perform basic mathematics was

down 30 percent. In 1996, almost three in every four African American fourth graders were not able to perform the basic math skills required for that age group.

Unfortunately, elementary education is not the only thing decreasing in this particular field.

High school students are not well prepared for getting into college and then succeeding as they continue their higher education.

An article from the New York Times supports the fact that children from more affluent families and lifestyles tend to do better in school than those who are not as well off financially.

The Pierce Scholar Program, which is based out of Cabrini, is working to close the gap. The

program is held weekly at St. Patrick’s Parish in Norristown and ushers in students from Cabrini to do volunteer work. This year, the SAT prep program was challenged by the new measures and standards that the SATs are going to be showcasing. This new shift of testing methods made it even more imperative that high school students be provided with an extra boost to help them succeed on standardized testing.

One student in particular, Joseph Ramos, a 16-year-old who attends St. Pat-

rick’s Parish, sought out the extra help. In an email, he said “I signed up for the SAT prep program because I felt it would be beneficial for my education in the long run.” Ramos also wrote that it was “highly suggested” because the program is run at his home church, making it even more beneficial.

Even though Ramos is not the first one in his family to attend college, he wrote “I feel that college is a big benefit to a successful life but is not necessary.”

Even so, Ramos has decided to seriously consider going to

college.

Ramos wrote that he feels that “College is important if you are pursuing a field that needs that college experience.” As for the SATs, Joseph said “I feel that the SAT is just another standardized test and that people should take it more seriously.”

Ramos attributes the success he has had so far to his parents and wants to continue the trend in the future. He said that while money hasn’t been a big issue as far as he is concerned, the biggest benefit of signing up for the SAT prep program has been the extra help. @ CHRISTLE_J

What is the Ebola virus?

Ebola was first found in Zaire or what is now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo, in 1976. The Ebola virus is an extremely rare disease and symptoms are similar to a very severe flu. Sweating, body aches, pains, vomiting and uncontrollable diarrhea are all symptoms of Ebola. There is a possibility that Ebola causes hemorrhage of the ears, nose, eyeballs and mouth, but only half of the patients diagnosed with Ebola have hemorrhaging.

“There are five strains of Ebola, four of which have caused the disease in humans: Zaire, Sudan, Taï Forest, and Bundibugyo. The fifth, Reston, has infected nonhuman primates only,” according to Vox. “Though scientists haven’t been able to confirm this, the animal host of Ebola is widely believed to be the fruit bat, and the virus only seldomly makes the leap into humans.”

The symptoms, however, do not show until days after interaction with someone with Ebola.

According to Vox, an Ebola patient describes the symptoms as, “I couldn’t move from the bed. I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t do anything. I lost 25 pounds. I was in the hospital for one month until they discharged me.”

Can I get Ebola?

In total, there have been eight cases in the United States. The death of Thomas Eric Duncan, 42, a Liberian man, on Wednesday, Oct. 8, who was at the center of a widening public health scare, really frightened Americans.

There has been one death, three recoveries and four in isolation and treatment as we speak. Ebola is an extremely difficult disease to contract because it requires direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone with the disease.

Unless you have been around the eight cases of Ebola within the country during the time they had symptoms or you traveled to or from West Africa, there would be no way that you would get Ebola.

If you do show signs of Ebola or have been around someone who has been tested positive, you should seek immediate help.

How contagious is it?

Ebola is a very rare disease but it also has been in news often because of the outbreak all across West Africa and it has now gotten to the U.S. But contracting this disease is not possible unless you are around people who have been tested positive with it or have traveled to West Africa.

“The virus has been able to live in semen for up to 82 days after a patient became symptomatic, which means sexual transmission - even with someone who has survived the disease for months - is possible,” according to Vox. Since Oct. 9, there have been 2,455 cases in Sierra Leone, 1,044 cases in Guinea, 941 cases in Liberia, meaning that as of today there are over 3,000 people in the world with this deadly disease and every day that number is growing.

How many people will get it?

The death toll is already at

4,000 and roughly 8,000 people have been infected as of October 2014.

Half of the patients that are diagnosed with Ebola, die.

“Assuming the worst is true, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a much bigger projection for this epidemic: up to 1.4 million people infected

by January,” according to Vox. “Outside of Africa, the risk is relatively high in the UK and France, but thankfully very low in India and China. The more advanced health-care systems in the UK and France are much better equipped to deal with an Ebola outbreak, while less advanced systems in China and particularly India, which also have considerably bigger populations to manage, could struggle to deal with an epidemic.”

What economic impact will it have on the United States?

There has already been an impact and there are only eight cases in the U.S. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s emergency preparedness budget fell since 2006 to about half and the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Cooperative Agreement Funding is one of the federal government’s main ways of helping local areas prepare for unexpected outbreaks.

“Funding for it has steadily fallen in recent years after a slight increase in 2006. Emergency preparedness is an easy budget to cut when there are not any emergencies happening, according to Vox. “But the decision has consequences: we’re learning with the

current outbreak that our public health systems - both in the U.S., and globally - simply are not prepared to handle an outbreak of a dangerous disease like Ebola” When the outbreak started, there was no process in play, no set process of how everything would work out. So in September 2014, “the drug company GlaxoSmithKline announced it took the unprecedented step of starting mass production on an Ebola vaccine that has just begun being tested in humans.”

Because of this, the usual drug approval processes were “condensed and potentially skipped.”

Of the three people who have taken the antibody therapy drug, ZMapp, two have survived and one has died. However, there is a 50 percent chance that when you are diagnosed with Ebola, you survive.

But the real question to be asking is will the lack of healthcare for Americans weigh heavily on the shoulders of the sick?

Where will it go next?

There is a process called “contact tracing,” which means that Ebola patients are put into isolation but then officials outline and investigate movements of the patient prior to getting the symptoms and becoming contagious.

Then officials build “concentric circles,” which are people that the patient would have come into close contact with are also observed for 21 days.

According to Vox, in Africa the trade industry goes into parts of China and India and if it gets into those countries, there could be serious consequences.

Malala Yousafzai, just 17-years old was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, making her the youngest winner since it was created in 1901. Just two years ago in October of 2012, in Northwestern Pakistan, a gunman leaped onto a crowded bus and asked, “Who is Malala?” He then proceeded to shoot her in the head, but she survived the injury and during her fight and recovery, she continued being an outspoken activist. Yousafzai took her story and what happened to her and transformed it into her bestselling memoir. According to the New York Times, “She will share the $1.1 million prize with Mr. Satyarthi, 60, a veteran, soft-spoken activist based in New Delhi who has rescued trafficked children from slavery.”

The Dallas man who was the first person with a case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

Oct. 10, 2014: On Friday, Sierra Leone approved plans to allow parents and families to tend to patients at home, “recognizing that they are overwhelmed and have little chance of getting enough treatment beds in place quickly to meet the surging need,” according to New York Times. Officials believe that this decision is a significant shift in the struggle against Ebola. Homes of Ebola patients in Sierra Leone will be given painkillers, rehydrating solution and gloves because the aid that was arriving was not fast enough or extensive enough to keep up with the outbreak.

ISIS Oct. 8, 2014: 10 people within the past year have been arrested and charged “with trying to travel abroad to aid terrorists this year as it has tried to stem the flow of Americans and others to terrorist groups in Syria, like the Islamic State and the Nusra Front.”

Residence life—dedicated to students during housing challenges

BY JESSICA PARADYSZ Perspectives Editor The Residence Life office is constantly busy during this time of year. The added challenge of increased enrollment and a change of office location did not hinder the momentum of the office and the staff’s commitment to ensuring the wellness of the community.

The freshman class of 2018 is approximately 400 strong, while the class of 2017 was 319. The significant increase has caused changes in housing, as the school is at capacity on the first day of classes. As Residence Life director Sue Kramer explains, “Yes, we had to consolidate the sophomore class out of East, and move juniors out of the houses to West; consolidation isn’t always welcomed,” Kramer admits that they moved people out of the rooms they picked. “It wasn’t their choice.”

“While we are accommodating space, we are doing our best to accommodate everyone that lives on campus,” Kramer said.

There are 835 beds available between Xavier, East, Woodcrest, West, the apartments and the houses. However, House 2, Dixon, is unfit to live in due to mold.

President Don Taylor expressed in a speech that bids will be placed on the Dixon house.

Also, senior males are living in the Emmaus House, located on the west side of campus. The house is one of the original buildings on campus.

Students may have received notices about housing changes. In order to house more students, House 3, Infante, was made co-ed during room selection. Casey and McManus, houses four and five, are still all female. West and the Cabrini Apartment Complex (CAC) are strictly for juniors and seniors.

Staff members needed to make more space in existing dorms for new and returning students. Therefore, Kramer explained that lounges were converted back into rooms, beds were added and rooms were converted in Woodcrest.

Kramer clarified that the staff is “Not moving people out of spite, but for the common good.” Residence Life staff members do not want to move students out of the rooms that they chose, instead stressing ensuring the common good to “welcome current and transfer students.”

“Increased enrollment is surprising and welcomed,” Kramer added.

Residence Life sent returning students an email at the end of July to verify if they intended to return to campus.

Kramer noted that some students do decide to not stay on campus and not let people know until later that they might not come back. The email process is a “checks and balances” procedure, Kramer added.

The classes are fairly evenly split as to students living on campus from freshman to senior year. Kramer is content with the steady increase of upperclassman students who ask to live on campus.

Rest assured, Cabrini College is equipped to handle the housing changes.

“It’s been an interesting summer, not something we haven’t been faced with before. We are not in a housing crisis,” Kramer said.

Kramer also noticed that students should have “more professional guidance” as both Mike Mullen and Akirah Massenburg have been promoted to assistant directors.

In addition, the recent office change is another piece of becoming more accessible to students.

“Our goal is to better accommodate students, the office was kind of hidden in Widener,” Kramer said.

Located across from the ITR office on the basement floor of Founders will create “A lot more foot traffic from students, pretty much all students walk by the caf,” Kramer adds.

A staple of the residence life leadership are the resident assistants, RAs, that are the faces of campus after 5 o’clock.”

The RAs reported for training on Saturday, Aug. 9, to prepare for the school year.

Kramer explains that being an RA “is a great leadership opportunity, two weeks intensive training, give them skills to build community, handle crisis management, homesickness, roommate conflicts and day-to- day issues.”

Through training and the numerous experiences during the year, “The skills that they gain are tremendous in the community that they form,” said Kramer.

Kramer started planning new initiatives in December with current staff, to add more resources for the students.

Residence assistants speak up about issues that they encounter, and their thoughts are always welcomed. “If a programming model or a training session is too complicated or if something isn’t working, it makes our jobs harder,” said Kramer.

Kramer looked up to the RAs during her freshman year in college and understands that “You are not only an RA. You are a student, friend, daughter, son, athlete, SGA member, must balance roles.”

“They are a student first and foremost. That’s their main role on campus.”

Unfortunately, dealing with roommate conflicts, confrontations, broken or damaged halls can be a dark and challenging side of the already immense responsibilities.

Kramer hopes that the residence halls can “Cut down on shenanigans and vandalism” as the “Main goal is community builder, create a strong, healthy and fun resident hall.”

There are 30 student staff members, including 28 RAs, the same number as last year, and two programming assistants Recruitment of RAs begins late October through the beginning of November. Instead of a vigorous recruitment campaign, RAs are asked to have peer-to-peer recruitment. Professors in other departments and the professional staff are involved as well.

Kramer explains that recruiters “Look for students who have leadership skills or quiet leaders who may not be involved in many activities but have an inner leadership quality.”

The current and returning RAs form more than impressive leadership skills and vibrant stories, but strong friendships with fellow RAs, students and staff.

“When you do what we do and go through meetings from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. at some meetings, I don’t think you can do this position without having good relationships,” Kramer adds.

Any student with work-study, all four years, can apply for a desk assistant, RAC, or job in the residence life office.

Desk assistants create their own schedule of four hour shifts which is a great opportunity to be involved on campus and have employment.

The trusting environment boasts an “Honest, opendoor policy” as the staff members are “Always open with what’s going on in classes, RA position and what to change. Kramer insists the importance of team building, the building and forming a “solid foundation of trust for all staff.” @JESSICAPARADYSZ

Changes made to CAV Cash Cabrini to host Body

BY KEVIN MOYLETT Staff Writer This year, CAV Cash and meal exchange can no longer be used at locations that had this system in the past.

Some businesses were not happy with their experience with CAV Cash. “They were charging a pretty hefty rate,” Dan Kateusz, owner of So Fun! Yogurt, said.

There is a chance you did not know CAV Cash existed or how it worked. CAV Cash is a voluntary debit account that is attached to the Cabrini issued student ID card.

CAV Cash can be used on campus at CAVS Corner, Jazzman’s, Sandella’s and the RAC Grille.

Students could have also used CAV Cash at locations off campus such as Chinese Delight Restaurant, CVS Pharmacy, Domino’s Pizza, Real Pizza, So Fun! Frozen Yogurt, West Ave Pizza & Grill and Bertucci’s.

When you go to the Cabrini College dining services page it shows these businesses as places you can use CAV Cash. As of recently, none of these places take

CAV Cash anymore.

West Ave Pizza & Grill wasn’t getting enough service from CAV Cash. Chinese Delight was losing money from it, creating an unpleasant experience for the business. “The person who started this program is very smart but only for himself,” Eline Yang, manager of Chinese Delight, said.

“We actually lost money. Nobody will participate I guarantee you.”

Aside from losing CAV Cash, students will be happy to know that meal exchange is now being offered from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the RAC, the popular late night dining option at Cabrini. The RAC gets extremely busy at night because once CAVS Corner and Jazzman’s close at 7:30 p.m. it is the only dining area left on campus that is open.

With meal exchange being a popular choice on campus over the last few years it should give students more flexibility on dining options. It allows students to exchange their meal during a meal period in CAVS Corner for a meal in Jazzman’s, Sandella’s and now the RAC from Monday through Friday.

“I go to the RAC all the time but my flex would run out so quickly that I couldn’t go any more towards the end of the semester,” Kyle Barth, junior biology major, said. “Now with meal exchange at the RAC I can conserve my flex a little better and be able to go more often.”

The meal exchange times and cash equivalence in Jazzman’s and Sandella’s have not changed from last year. It is still 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for $3, 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for $5 and 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for $5. @KEVINMOYLETT

Image Conference

BY ERICA ABBOTT News Editor What shapes the way we think of body image? This is a pinnacle question that will be getting discussed at the National Undergraduate Conference on Body Image. Various events will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Oct. 22 and 23, with conferences, keynote speakers, a performance from “In My Body: The Musical,” concurrent sessions and workshops, according to Cabrini’s website.

The conference will cover topics such as cross-cultural beauty and body standards, the role of the media and advertising in creating, perpetuating or resisting standards of beauty, representations in literature, sexualization of the female body and more.

“It’s an academic and intellectual conversation that will create awareness of what shapes how we think of ourselves and others,” Dr. Michelle Filling-Brown, associate professor of English, said.

Filling-Brown created this

event through a grant from the Katherine Alexandra Foundation, which, according to their website, “promotes an improved quality of life by enhancing the whole person - inside and out. “This helped Filling-Brown to develop co-curricular programming to support curriculum within the women’s studies concentration within the English department. “I’m very passionate about women’s studies, gender issues and positive body image and am driven by the energy of our English majors and alumni who are also so passionate about body image issues,” Filling-Brown said.

Other panels within the conference will include discussions on how faith impacts how we treat the body, how illness impacts the body, social media discussions, construction of racial identity and creative works on body image. The presentations will come from students all over the country.

Concerns for the physically disabled in fire drills and emergencies

BY TYRON DAVIS AND RENEE OLIVER Staff Writers Fire drills and emergency situations for students is a task that needs to be practiced to help public safety in knowing what to do in a real situation and how to handle the incident if occurs on Cabrini’s campus.

This is especially important for those students with mobility issues.

“In a fire drill the most important thing is you need to evacuate the building,” Creig Doyle, director of public safety at Cabrini College, said. “If you can’t do it by yourself and you need some help then it’s up to us to figure out what that looks like.”

“

The college is very good about meeting the guidelines for getting people out of the building and to be safe.

”

According to Johnson, there are currently five students that she is aware of that have various degrees of a physical disability. Students that either use a wheelchair, walker, or are visually and/or hearing impaired.

Grace hall, one of the main buildings on campus is not accessible seeing that it does not have an elevator. If students need to meet with a professor in their office, the professor must come down to the first floor.

Other accessibility issues arise with the lack of sidewalks on some parts of campus.

“That’s a concern and something we’re aware of and working on,” Johnson said.

When it comes to emergency situations, students with a physical challenge can experience serious anxiety worrying if they will make it out okay. “The college is very good about meeting the guidelines for getting people out of the building and to be safe,” Johnson said, “The drill situation can create some fear for students.”

Pertaining to dorm life, if students who need to have a room on the first floor will be assigned accordingly to a room with handicap accessible bathrooms and showers.

The DRC makes sure that every student with a disability is allowed to participate and attend any event safely just as anyone else. “For students with a physical disability, we want college to be an experience that is just as enjoyable and accessible for anyone that attends here,” Johnson said.

Where Cabrini Res Life stands compared to other schools

BY JOEY RETTINO Managing Editor While Resident Life departments aim to do the best for their campuses and their staff, it is not met with mixed feelings on how the system is run. Cabrini College is no different.

Though many Cabrini resident assistants do not complain about their time spent with Cabrini Residence Life, some do. Reservations held against Cabrini’s Residence Life range from insufficient meal plans and pay, to a lack of teamwork and unfairness from the directors.

Differing on who is asked, Cabrini’s Residence Life is either praised or criticized. While both opinions are readily available and a complete consensus seems to meet in the middle, where does our Residence Life stand in comparison to others? And what are the reasons for the rules that are in place?

The “Resident Assistants” section on Cabrini’s website lists the perks of being a resident assistant. These perks include a partial meal plan, free single room, and numerous other leadership-building benefits.

“In talking to my peers and friend at various institutions,

I think we are comparable for the size of our department,” Sue Kramer, director of Residence Life at Cabrini, said. “Our compensation package is comparable with other colleges in our consortium; the added perks are comparable if not a bit better than theirs as well.”

According to Jennifer Nelson, once a Residence Coordinator for Seton Hall University in New Jersey, Seton Hall covers all costs for living and meals for their resident assistants, unlike Cabrini.

In an email response by Franklyn Cantor, coordinator of Residential Life at Haverford College, he explained that the upperclassmen living in their residence halls do so on a complete volunteer basis and there are “no set of perks or privileges afforded to them.”

With Seton Hall at one end of the spectrum and Haverford College at the other, Cabrini seems to fall somewhere in the middle when it comes to incentives.

While Cabrini ResLife only covers a fraction of resident assistants meals, they have never limited them to the amount of meals they can have, Kramer, who calls the Cabrini Residence Life team her family, said. “RAs could always upgrade to the 14 or 19 meal

Aside from the covered meals and living, Brittany Sanner, junior psychology major with a minor in leadership, finds the relationships she’s been able to build as the greatest part of being a resident assistant at Cabrini. “It’s the feeling like you have a home away from home—the RA staff is like a little family,” Sanner said. “I love it. We are always there for each other.”

Depending on the school, being a resident assistant can be a paid position, volunteer or even unionized, in the case of the

University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Having resident assistants part of a union may seem like all positives for the staff, due to unionization often meaning higher wages and collective bargaining, but according to Jean Ahlstrand Mackimmie, director of Residence Education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Cabrini offers the same, if not more, than the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Resident assistants at University of Massachusetts Amherst are granted a room waiver for

the full cost of a double room, a residential service fee waiver and a cash stipend for $4000 for the academic year. Meals are not included.

For those who are unhappy about their time spent with Cabrini Residence Life, Kramer believes, though admittedly harsh, that at the end of the day being a resident assistant is a position they themselves signed up for. “We do not hide that this is not just a job, but a lifestyle,” Kramer said. @JOEYRETTINO

The secret life of college students College is the best four years of your life, right? The advice rings through the ears of students. Yet there is a darker side.

Late nights staying up working on endless assignments, sleep deprivation,worrying about loans, grades and drama.

Students need to figure out what they want to be in the future. Is it too much pressure to make these years the best and succeed? the college newspaper, photo editor for the Loquitur, director of the Loqation News show. That’s not to mention and all of my other classes. All of the homework and projects that go with them doesn’t leave much down time.

Time management is hard and saying I feel stressed just doesn’t cut it but we find ways to make it work even if it means staying up until 4 a.m.

Going off to college is an exciting time.

You get to live on your own, make new friends and hang out. No one tells you what to do and when to do it.

And we can’t forget the parties.

We don’t have a care in the world.

College is easy, right?

For some students, college is a time to let loose and party, but for others it’s a more serious time.

Others try to balance both the party life and academics. Also we can’t forget the students that play sports, participate in extra curricular activities and even work part-time.

Secretly, college may not be as easy or as big of a party as some might think.

From my own perspective as a communication major, by the time you hit junior year things can get pretty crazy.

Most of the classes we are taking are required for our major, so we take them a lot more seriously.

There are nights when Loquitur editors don’t sleep.

There are many days I feel exhausted, but keep telling myself that one day this will all pay off.

Cabrini College is a small campus so everyone knows everyone’s business. Drama can be a daily event.

As if we don’t already have enough to deal with we may be rooming with someone we don’t know, stressing over competition in the classroom or faced with the notso-nice side of social media with facebook and twitter.

College is expensive.

We have student loans, parent loans or maybe your

grandparents are paying the bill.

No one wants to let anyone down, so we work even harder to make all that money count.

If you have student loans then you may already be thinking about how you need to find a good job after graduation to pay back those loans and wondering what happens if you don’t.

If you are one of those students who has always known what you wanted to be when you grew up then you are lucky.

We feel the pressure to choose a major when we are freshmen. This is a big decision in our lives.

Most students end up changing their major a couple of times. Changing your major might end up costing you more money and an extra semester or two of school.

We all want to have fun with our friends and enjoy our time in college. It can be hard to find time for fun when we are so busy with our class load, worrying about our grades, sports, jobs and fear that we may not be good enough to get the job.

We have the mindset of, “My resume needs to be better than hers/his so I need to do more.”

Secretly, the life of a college student can be very emotional.

We want our time here to be an awesome four years but it can also be frustrating, stressful and disappointing.

The fun memories might not come from a party, but from those 4 a.m. nights of hard work in the newsroom.

Fashion internship in the city —not exactly “Devil Wears Prada”

BY HELEN MASCHMEYER Staff Writer

“Bursts of color and light infused with architecture is my vision for spring.”

Paula Hian tells the photographer this while describing the latest designs for the spring collection for 2015.

Grabbing another piece of paper, she takes a pen in one hand and starts sketching another dress in less then a minute.

Designing is more of an art for Hian and each piece comes together to make her visions a reality I have been fortunate enough to see this up close and personal through my internship with her.

Stepping into her office I knew immediately Paula had a special talent for design, something different that made her more intriguing than others.

Working closely with her on a day-to-day basis helped throw me into the wild world of the fashion industry.

Anyone from Carrie Underwood, Natalie Morales and Taylor Momson from “Gossip Girl” has been seen wearing a Paula Hian piece.

Her architecturally structured designs appeal to all sorts of ages if you can afford her high fashion price.

Stepping into her office for the first time and knowing very little about her brand, I had no idea what I was be getting myself into.

Most think it would be a “Devil Wears Prada” vibe but not in her office.

She is so nice and actually cares about how I am as a person. This was something different I hadn’t experienced before.

Hian’s Designs are more then just a luxury brand, her designs are French couture.

Each piece was made in her factory in France where

she would spend a month or so during the production season making sure each piece was up to par with her vision.

Hian is the sole designer and she would be there day by day, hour after hour with the workers to see the final results revealed.

“It takes fitting after fitting and then redoing the piece before I think it is perfect, I will not settle for anything less,” Hian said.

It all comes full circle after production, this is when all the hard work pays off and we all are able to see the final product in front of us.

Hian’s vision for spring is hung on the hangars and placed on the racks. This is where we all are able to see her vision.

Being able to touch each piece, feel the fabric and see it on a model is when you see her clothes come alive. @MASCHMEYERHELEN NATALIE NAKONECZNY

What’s all the buzz about?

BY JILL NAWOYSKI Staff Writer

Exam tomorrow… Essay due at midnight… Laundry to do….

Hmmm. What can I do instead?

As a typical college student, I always find myself procrastinating the work that I need to get done.

Sometimes, I’ll be in the middle of writing a paper and before I know it, I’ll be browsing Facebook.

Whenever I go on Facebook, I notice that my friends and family “share” articles on their page that catch my eye.

These articles come from a website called Buzzfeed, which provides the perfect way to control any amount boredom.

Founders John Johnson and Jonah Peretti created Buzzfeed in 2006 as a way of entertainment. Buzzfeed contains online

quizzes, articles about interesting topics and the latest entertainment news stories.

This website is more than just something to use for fun; it also displays the biggest news stories from headlines such as Ebola in the United States to the U.N.’s warning about ISIS. Buzzfeed is the perfect way to procrastinate.

Personally, I always find myself trying to find things to do instead of my homework.

When I see an article shared on Facebook, I just have to see what it was about.

I mean hey- who doesn’t want to find out which Disney princess they would be or see how “basic” they are?

There are so many different articles to read and even more online quizzes to take. Many students find these quizzes entertaining, and sometimes, once one is taken, it’s impossible to stop.

Completing Buzzfeed quizzes is like eating oreos; you can’t stop at just one!

From “Who’s your TV boyfriend?” to “Which cheap wine should you drink tonight?,” the quiz themes are endless.

One of my favorite things to do on Buzzfeed is read articles that are short blurbs written by thousands of people each and everyday.

The articles on this website are perfect for college students; they have everything from hairstyle techniques and DIY Halloween costumes to easy recipes for students on a budget.

My roommate and I always end up sending each other articles throughout the day.

I believe that this website is such a hit due to the fact that the content is relatable and entertaining.

Whether you’re procrastinating on homework, or just looking for a little entertainment, Buzzfeed is sure to please.

With the large amount of quizzes, articles and entertainment news, you will be sure to waste hours online.

Next time you’re bored, go ahead; find out what all of the buzz is all about. @JNAWOYSKI

“Drunk in” selfie—is this the future of Instagram?

BY TY DAVIS Staff Writer

Alcohol is the number one drug in college that every student will experience whether they drink or not according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

If taking selfies were a drug then it’d be first and we’d be a country constantly under the influence.

Songs used to just promote alcohol and other drugs.

Now it’s promoting selfies.

It’s trendy, catchy and fun, but is that what college and life is all about?

Alcohol is easy to obtain as a college student because you’re surrounded by other students who are at least 21-years-old.

Drinking isn’t necessarily a problem, it’s the type of drinking that causes an issue because just about half the students in college binge drink.

Drinking is the norm for college students.

It happens at social gatherings and may be used to escape reality for the night. Not many think about binge drinking when they hear their favorite songs or hear someone yell “free shots” in the bar.

Being underage is where binge drinking is most likely to occur.

When you have a few friends who want to split a bottle of alcohol or a case of beer the goal is to finish all the alcohol before the end of the night.

There’s no sense in trying to stop people from drinking because it’s going to happen.

The goal should be to educate students on how fast alcohol affects the body.

One thing that students may not know is that they become more intoxicated even after they’re done drinking and that the only thing that stopping them from reaching

sober town is time.

There is no speeding up the process. No coffee, exercise or showers can make one sober up quicker.

Driving after a night of drinking is never going to end well even if you make it to your destination because you’ll probably feel like crap the next day for potentially putting someone else’s life in danger.

The legal limit of your blood alcohol content is .08 and several factors determine how much and how fast a person can become intoxicated.

One can’t determine that level unless they have an accurate breathalyzer.

It’s common to drink and drive because we think we’re in control after we’ve been taking great drinking selfies all night to show everyone what’s happening and create memories with our friends.

On Sept. 27, Leah Remini, Jennifer Lopez and her two kids were involved in an incident involving a drunk driver.

Everyone is ok.

After the supposedly drunk driver fled the scene and JLo expressed her feelings as she and Remini uploaded a selfie to the internet.

Is that what Instagram is for?

Today, our society functions off of social media for almost anything.

News, bragging through pictures or updating statuses about how we’re doing or our opinion on trending topics.

As young adults there will always be mistakes and that’s a part of human nature. We learn from experiences what we may or may not have been taught growing up. It’s about what you walk away with and what you learn from the experience.

Jennifer Lopez and fellow actress Leah Remini posted a photo on Instagram after avoiding a drunk driving accident. Is this the wrong message to send? Should buzzed driving be focused on more at colleges?

Creating traditions

BY LILLIAN HURLEY Staff Writer

Having a true Cabrini alumnus work in the Alumni department is the perfect equation to help connect current students and graduates .

Nick Guldin, a 2012 communication graduate, fits this description perfectly. Working in the office of Institutional Advancement as a coordinator for alumni engagement allows Guldin to work with past and present Cabrini students. Now he is excited to give back to the college that gave him so many great memories.

Creating a bond between future alumni and their college experience is the goal of Cavalier Traditions, a club on campus that creates traditions students will carry with them long after they leave Cabrini. The club strives to create Cabrini pride among the students.

The newest Cavalier tradition is the class colors. A few weeks ago the club hosted the color run where they announced the new class colors. This is a perfect example of a tradition because when the senior class graduates, they will pass their color onto the incoming freshman class.

“After graduation, each class will have their colors that helps to represent their time at Cabrini,” Guldin said.

This new tradition was a great hit with the students.

Junior graphic design major, Stacie Roller, attended the color run. “Having these class colors really helps to unify each class,” Roller said.

Traditions are an important part of everyone’s life.

Amber Dietrich, sophomore social work major and leadership minor, has been a member of the club since it began last year.

“Traditions are important because it gives people something to look forward to. In a world where

MACKENZIE HARRIS / EDITOR IN CHEIF

The members of Cavalier Traditions at the first color run held at Cabrini. things and people change every day, traditions give you a sense of comfort because no matter what happens you always have that tradition, that memory to hold on to.”

The ideas for Cavalier traditions comes from the students who are in the club. After recruiting freshmen the club has about 16 to 18 members. They will continue to create new traditions on campus, but also to continue events that were established last year like Do Blue

Night and Philanthropy Day. To this club tradition is everything. When asked to define the word tradition Guldin said, “Ritualistic events that represent the different passions to a significant place, that’s a tradition to me.” @LILLIANMHURLEY

The return of the “Haunted Doll"

BY JATARA ALLEN Staff Writer

Just when people assumed things couldn’t get scarier, the “haunted” doll from the Conjuring made her presence known. Annabelle is directed by John R. Leonetti starring Annabelle Wallis, Ward Horton, Tony Amendola and Alfre Woodard. Remember the creepy doll that was tucked away in a hidden office in the basement where no one was allowed to go because of the bad things that could happen? Remember the doll that was oh so special to the family, but really had a hidden agenda? Yes, you remember the doll with the blonde-like braids, white long dress, red lips and scary eyes?

Her name was Annabelle.

As soon as people heard she was coming out in a new movie they became so anxious. As soon as it hit the theaters, people rushed to get their ticket to enjoy the most recent thriller. Of course people want to see a scary movie, it is Halloween month right?

Making Annabelle scary was sort of a great idea, but did they really succeed at what they wanted is the question. In the beginning the film looks quite interesting. Everyone is all close together, holding one another, ready to jump and scream. The beginning catches your eye.

There is so much commotion, blood gushing everywhere, knives, bullets and creepy music.

A loving husband, he fights to protect his wife and unborn child. What happened, where did things go wrong?

The pregnant woman was stabbed near womb, but she and the baby are okay.

Bed rest for a while, but of course that was not the end of the horrible events, they were just beginning.

The second half was getting better.

The baby was finally born, they moved

out of that terrible house everything seemed to be coming together right?

No, that was not the case. They looked to be getting worse and those demons or suspicions were not going away.

Mia lays baby down to sleep, while she attempts to the take the trash down to the basement. Alone and pitch black there was no one there to hear her if she needed them. So who would to protect her now?

It was just her.

She throws out the trash and suddenly a stroller comes rolling out with the horrifying screams of a baby. Was it her baby? Where did this child come from? Everyone sits in anticipation of what is about to happen next. The lift doors close, we breathe a sigh of relief, but it is jammed on that floor and poor Mia is stuck in the haunted basement, with flickering light bulbs and sounds of babies howling. One minute we are scared the next we’re laughing. Is this really a thriller or are we just confused?

We assumed that even though the movie is called Annabelle, that Annabelle would play a big role in the scenes.

However, she did not. It was more of a demon or superficial type of thing.

Calling the movie horrible would be an exaggeration. It was worth the buying of tickets.

Chipotle: worth the hype?

MARINA HALEY Staff Writer

Walking in the door, it is hard not to smell the fresh aroma of Mexican spices and fresh meat of burritos being made in the kitchen. Seeing people with smiles on their faces, patiently waiting in long lines for their favorite meal and chatting with everyone gives the restaurant a friendly atmosphere. Chipotle in Wayne is a good choice for college students looking for inexpensive and healthy food.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is a very easy place to get to and it is only five minutes away from Cabrini in Wayne, PA. On the menu there are many food items customers can choose with multiple toppings. Chipotle has many great

entrees and toppings such as, burritos, tacos, chips, salsa, chile, salads and many different drinks to choose from on their menu. The diversity of the menu allows customers to pick and choose the exact ingredients customers want to add to their meal. They serve lunch and dinner and are open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The restaurant is kid friendly, and provides take out.

Although there are good aspects of the Chipotle Mexican grill there are also some aspects of the restaurant that are unattractive and somewhat disgusting.

When a customer come into the restaurant there is always a long and exhausting line that customers have to wait in, which is annoying if a customer is very hungry for lunch.

When ordering at Chipotle you are walked down a row of different choices of ingredients.

Most of the time when a customer goes to sit down the tables are always dirty from the people sitting their previously.

Another thing that is annoying about this restaurant is that the customer has to repeat your order multiple times because the chefs can never hear what the customers are saying to them.

They also put too much dressing on their salad, which make them taste soggy, so it is better to order dressing on the side. Overall, Chipotle Mexican Grill is a great place to go if you are a hungry college student with an urge to get off campus. @MARINAHALEY1

Behind the curtain at the Cabrini play

BY KATIE MUSKA Staff Writer

Although the title of Cabrini theatre’s fall play this year has Shakespeare’s name, “Shakespeare on the Green” is no typical “Romeo and Juliet.”

This contemporary comedic performance of four 20-minute renditions of Shakespearian plays (“Taming of the Shrew,” “King Lear,” “The Winter’s Tale” and “Comedy of Errors”) will have you crying—but only because you’ll be laughing so much. Even the actors have trouble rehearsing because of the comedy.

“You want to laugh because what they’re doing is really funny,” Samantha Murray, a sophomore history and English double major, said. Along with several other roles, Murray plays one of the daughters in “King Lear.”

“It’s really jumpy,” Danton Moyer, a junior political science major, said. “It’s frenetic.” As with the rest of the cast, you will see Moyer playing a variety of characters.

“If there was a funny Sparknotes of four Shakespeare plays, that’s what this is,” Moyer said.

Cabrini runs its shows in a very small, intimate setting, where the audience's chairs are literally on the stage, face-to-face with the actors. There are no dressing rooms and no wigs.

What you see is what you get.

“I’m amazed at what we’re able to do on such a small stage,” Colin Kilroy, a junior marketing major, said. This performance will be Kilroy’s first appearance in a Cabrini play. He is enjoying

the chemistry that the cast has with one another.

“We do really great work in a very humble space,” Alyssa Reape, senior English theater and writing major, said. Reape recognizes the pressure to carry the story as actors on such a small stage with only one setting. Her biggest role this fall will be Katherine in “Taming of the Shrew.”

Dr. Thomas Stretton, who has been directing the Cabrini plays for nine years now, says the show has a tricky set. It consists of four doors, a set of windows and two big sliding doors. There are 17 performers and around 60 roles. Each actor has several parts to play.

“It’s very in your face,” Stretton said. He and the cast are very excited for this performance.

“It’s a wonderful group. I think they believe in it,” Stretton said. “If you thought 'Charlie Brown' was funny, you will think this is a scream.”

Halloween traditions that are memorable

BY BRIANNA MORRELL Staff Writer

When you think of Halloween, what is the first tradition that comes to your mind? Whether it is carving pumpkins, heading to haunted attractions or even going trick or treating, Halloween is a holiday that can be celebrated by everyone.

Just like all holidays, Halloween traditions make everyone’s experience special and unique. There are many ways of making Halloween special.

Cabrini supports Halloween with traditions, by holding some of their own. Freak Week has a themed event every night. These student-run events may take months to plan. The key organization responsible for many of these events is the campus activities and planning board. This organization runs the mystery dinner in the mansion and the zombie run. The campus radio station WYBF is celebrating Halloween by setting up an event called the Spooky Scavenger Hunt. Teams can participate in it to win tickets to the Bates Motel.

Beyond Cabrini College, there are many haunted attractions in the area that students choose to go to enjoy a fright.

Pennhurst, Eastern State and Field of Screams are just some of the attractions near the campus that students can go to to enhance their experience on Halloween to make it fun and enjoyable. Students around the campus have shared their traditions with Loquitur.

“My family and I always carved pumpkins during Halloween time.

Ever since I’ve got to college I have been going to Pennhurst and going to

CAP board activities to celebrate and get into the Halloween mood.” Bryana Manning, sophomore education major, said.

Halloween traditions are different depending on the person and what goes on around them. “My town always has a Fall Festival that is filled with pumpkins and mum flowers and it gets me excited for fall which brings on Halloween,” Malley DeSanto, sophomore education major, said.

Going out is not the only way to carry on some spooky Halloween traditions.

Brian Quirk, sophomore undeclared major, states “After scaring some trick or treaters, me and my friends always watch some scary movies such as 'Night of the Living Dead.'

Whether it is going out for some candy, attending a fall festival or maybe just staying in to watch Halloween movies, traditions of Halloween range from person to person. Each person has a different way of making their Halloween holiday special.

The Best of Me:

The highly anticipated movie, “The Best of Me”, that premieres Oct. 17, 2014, is the newest Nicholas Sparks book that is being made into a movie. Although Nicholas Sparks’ books converted into a movie is nothing new, the book promises new adventures. Taking place in Oriental, North Carolina, the story tells the tale of two high school lovers who are

reunited 25 years later. Unforeseen events tear the couple apart during their senior year of high school and they are separated for a time.

They are reunited by the death of Tuck Hostetler, who was their mentor. He provided shelter for their young, budding romance when they were experiencing the difficulties of high school, especially as senior year wrapped up. Their lives drifted apart from each other and they lived their post-grad lives apart and estranged.

As the two main characters, Amanda and Dawson, work together they complete Tuck’s will for them.

Along the way, they try to discover whether or not true love spans decades and erases the past or if time has stolen their true love.

Nicholas Sparks himself says that he believes in first love and wanted to explore the concept of first love and whether or not it can span time and space. “First love is always powerful, and for some people, that love really does last forever.”

Midterm state of mind

BY DOMINIQUE DINARDO Staff Writer

It's midterm week.

Students slow their pace due to lack of sleep from pulling all-nighters. A subtle buzz of memorized facts fill their minds between sips of highly caffeinated coffee or energy drinks. The library is full all hours of the day, while the cafeteria remains empty. Students keep their heads in the books to make sure they can get the best grade possible on their midterms.

How do students feel when midterms roll around?

"I can't wait until I'm done with this," senior graphic design major Zach Johnson said when asked about his midterm mindset. How does Johnson cope with all the stress this week holds? "It's called the weekend," he jokes.

"My mindset is usually directed towards myself. I know it sounds bad, but I could care less about anyone during finals week,” Abby Hacker, junior education major, said. "I am focused on me, myself and I. Finals time is not time to joke around. It's time to buckle down and get good grades."

Students seem to be focusing on getting their work completed as soon as possible to get midterm week over with. Studying a few days ahead of time will ensure great grades and confidence for any test. "My physics professor always says 'chance favors the prepared mind -Louis Pasteur.'

So if I am prepared, I will do fine."

Steve Halko, sophomore biology and pre-pharmacy major said.

What is the best way to study?

Is spending hours upon hours in the library effective?

Or, is it better to space your studying out over time?

"I study by going over the material and doing examples primarily before I go to bed and when I wake up,” Halko said.

“Also, I take breaks. I do not like to study for more than two hours at a time.”

New students come to college not knowing what to expect.

"I'm trying not to think about it too much," freshman marketing major Jimmy Hennessey said.

"I'm obviously nervous, but I feel like I'm doing alright in all of my classes."

How do students cope with all the pressure of midterms week?

Hennessey's favorite way to get through all the stress? "Candy.

Actually, airheads. Any flavor."

Hacker was asked the same questions and said, "That's easy.

Since Midterms usually fall around the holiday season, my remedy involves being cuddled up with a warm fuzzy blanket watching a Christmas movie with my best friend. One can never go wrong with a good holiday cheer before a midterm."

Midterms can be stressful, but if you know how to study, relax, and get a good night of sleep, you will be successful in any test you may take.

What are we really paying for?

BY BRIANNA MORRELL Staff Writer

College tuition is something most prospective student look at when they are applying and deciding schools as seniors in high school.

Tuition could also make or break a decision on whether or not to attend the college of their dreams. For students in the United States, most colleges, whether private or public, have tuitions that are extremely high and are not fully covered by federal aid.

Here at Cabrini College, we pay a lot and as a private school our tuition is higher than that at public schools.

According to the Cabrini College's cost of attendance, the average student who lives on campus sees an advertised price of $45,000. Within this forty-five grand, room and board along with other small costs such as laundry and housing deposits are included.

Most private schools will cost more than public universities.

Public universities spend less money on instruction compared to colleges that are considered private, according to Vox. Also, public universities spend less on academic support whereas private schools spend more money for their students to receive academic support. As for student services, such as health and wellness facilities and other facilities and things for public schools rise above private schools.

Tuitions not only vary on which school you choose and where the school is located but what the school has to offer. Some public schools

offer a higher division of sports, which require stadiums and other facilities they may need.

However, if you go to a private school, such as Cabrini College we only have one soccer and lacrosse field to use for a variety of sports and then the Dixon center a gym and swimming pool. The use of tuition within Cabrini College goes a long way and the college makes sure their students get the best education and living situations possible.

From a student’s perspective on the topic of tuition, Malley DeSanto, a sophomore education major, says “The tuition goes towards utility bills to keep the colleges buildings running and to also pay teachers so they can earn a salary."

Cabrini College has a list of what is paid on either CabriniOne or on the main webpage. The fees go from printing and computer usage to losing an identification card and having to pay for a replacement.

When looking at tuition of a college the little things, not only just room and board, count. It depends on the institution you are applying to whether private or public and may take some research into what is being paid for when you are paying for tuition. @BRIANNAMORRELL

Eagles fly to a shutout win over rival Giants

BY HOWARD BLAKE III Sports Editor

Headlined by trash talking and statements from the New York Giants players that the Eagles team were not as good as their 4-1 record, the Philadelphia Eagles were put to the test on Sunday night against the New York Giants.

Coming into the game the Giants were on a three game win streak scoring at least 30 points in each of those wins.

By the looks of it, the resurgence of the Giants offense matched against an Eagles team who struggled against a mediocre Rams team, many expected the Eagles to struggle. But with the new all black jerseys in honor of the Eagles blackout Sunday, the Eagles played lights out and brought the Giants back down to earth.

The Eagles recorded a 27-0 win over the G-Men, their first shutout win since 1996 ironi-

cally against the Giants. What made this win so sweet for Eagles fans was the dominance they showed in all three phases of the game. This season the defense has been up and down along with the offense. The only consistency we have had is on special teams.

Everything was different on Sunday night. LeSean McCoy finally had his break-out game torching the Giants for 149 yards rushing. McCoy has struggled this season due to an injured offensive line. His 149 yard performance marked his sixth straight 100 yard rushing game on Sunday night football and his first 100 yard performance this season. Despite not being at full strength on the offensive line, they’ve progressed and found ways to open up running lanes for the All-Pro McCoy. Nick Foles played one of his better games this season. He threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns both of which were in the first half. He started off extremely strong, but reverted back to some of his old ways by throwing two interceptions after his two touchdowns. Foles has had issues with interceptions this season, something that was not a problem last season. He has seven interceptions this season, but has played well in other phases of the game. He is fifth in the NFL in passing yards with 1,628 yards and is tied 10th in the NFL with 10 touchdowns.

Overall Foles is having a solid year. His turnovers are a con-

cern but with a 5-1 record there is no need to hit the panic button. For those that are skeptical, we must remember this is Foles second year playing significant snaps and his first as a yearlong starter, so we must expect bumps in the road for such a young quarterback.

Special teams held up their end of the bargain as usual.

Chris Maragos got his hand on one of the Giants punts for the Eagles only punt block of the night. Darren Sproles had a big 43 yard gain off of a punt return, which almost had a chance to go the distance.

But the defense stole the show, holding the red hot Giants to zero points. With a total of eight sacks, the Eagles defensive line dominated in the win. Connor Barwin had three sacks and was the star of the

defense that night. They held Eli Manning to 151 yards passing and their rushing game wasn’t much of a factor either.

With the win, the Eagles finally showed that they are capable of putting together a complete performance. This has fans feeling good heading into the bye week. Despite the criticisms the Eagles have had, they are still 5-1 tied for the best record in the NFL. If they play to the level they’re capable of, they will continue to be a force in the NFL.

Women’s tennis stays undefeated in CSAC play after defeating Cedar Crest

CABRINIATHLETICS.COM

CABRINIATHLETICS.COM

Freshman Maggie Javitt (left) and junior Nicole Broccolino (right) both won their matches, to help the Women’s tennis team defeat Cedar Crest College.

BY JILL NAWOYSKI Staff Writer

The Cabrini women’s tennis team improved to 9-0 in the CSAC and 12-4 overall after topping Cedar Crest College in both singles and doubles play on Monday, Oct. 13.

The weather for the matches was not too promising; four out of the nine matches were not completed due to rain.

The Cavaliers started off the afternoon with doubles play. Juniors Terra McHenry and Tori Yeich won their match 8-2, which improved their record to 8-1 in the CSAC. Freshman Maggie Javitt and junior Nicole Broccolino won their match 8-3, and senior Samantha Trumbo paired with sophomore Elena Conway to win their match 8-3.

Due to the rain, only two of the singles matches were completed. Because of the slippery courts, the Falcons and the Cavaliers moved to an indoor location.

McHenry added another win to her list for the day, finishing the match 8-4. Yeich also dominated in singles play, finishing the day 8-4 as well over the Falcons.

The rain did not seem to stop the Blue and White from having a successful day.

“Today went really well and I’m glad we got to go inside to finish the win. I don’t think the rain affected our playing… everyone had a great match,” Yeich said.

With this match being another conference match, keeping up the momentum is extremely important. “We’re down to our last matches and it’s been really important to play knowing that the CSAC is on the line, and I think we did that today,” Javitt

said.

After topping Cedar Crest, the Cavaliers are undefeated in the conference.

“Being undefeated feels awesome. It feels like all of our hardwork and time has paid off, but we’re trying not to get too excited because we know we’re not done yet,” Conway said.

If the Lady Cavs continue to work hard, a conference win could be just over the horizon. “We can do it; we just have to believe in ourselves,” Yeich said.

With just one last match left in the regular season before the playoffs, the team continues to keep up their success.

“We win and lose together and as long as we keep up the incredible support for each other, I don’t think there is anything that can stop us,” Javitt said.

The team will face Gwynedd Mercy

Devon Miller more than just a soccer player

BY HELEN MASCHMEYER Staff Writer

Waking up at 5 a.m. daily, Devon Miller, a junior soccer player, starts her busy day.

Living the life of a Cabrini Cavalier is not so easy sometimes. For Miller, being a Cavalier means practice, work and time management.

Juggling a job at a daycare in addition to school and soccer, Miller looks to her friends, family and coaches for support.

Miller said, “I wouldn't be able to do it without the support from my family and coaches.”

Friendship is also important to Miller.

Not only has she met her best friends during preseason, they have been close with one another ever since.

Miller started playing soccer when she was only four-years-old before she knew it would become her favorite sport. It was not until the age of seven when she crossed over into the competitive side of soccer. This is when soccer became being part of a team.

Everyone needed to work together to play the game. Soccer became a nice stress reliever and a nice getaway from the everyday work and school. In addition Miller has always had her friends by her side to support one another.

Cabrini interns at Miller’s mother's

said. Not only do they play on the field together, these Cavaliers also put together team events to keep each other close.

Miller would be nowhere without the support from her team and coaches.

Miller said, “Being a junior and looking back, I am definitely shocked at what I have been able to accomplish.”

Switching majors from pre-physical therapy to psychology, somehow Miller finds time to make it all work on a day-today basis.

“It's definitely challenging. Normally I try to dedicate certain hours of the day to the library and get as much work as I can done,” Miller said.

It was the ideas of being able to look into the brain and connect it to different illnesses that attracted her to psychology along with the professors always willing to help no matter what. This really swayed her to switch majors.

CABRINIATHLETICS.COM

Junior Forward Devon Miller has started in all 12 games this year and has six goals. work put the idea of Cabrini College as a choice into her head. After her mother had recommended looking at Cabrini, Miller thought she would check it out and see what all the hype was about.

After visiting campus and meeting with the soccer coaches, Miller knew Cabrini was the right choice for her. Not only could

she feel the support from the coaches right off the bat, she felt as though she was on the same page with them.

Winning the championship for a third consecutive year, Miller and her teammates have formed a special bond with one another.

“We all try to do things together,” Miller

Women’s soccer keeps streak alive with win

BY NAJAH DINGLE Staff Writer

Cabrini’s Women’s soccer team dominated Marywood University 3-0. The Cavs connected on one goal in the first period and two goals in the second. The win advances the Lady Cavs to 6-0 in the CSAC and 7-6 overall.

Junior Meghan Martin gave the Cavaliers a 1-0 lead in the first period just over one minute into the game. Senior Melissa Scanzano assisted junior Dana Peterson in the second period giving the Blue and White a 1-0 lead.

Freshman Taylor Tralie recorded the last goal of the night,

which was assisted by Martin.

A large part of the Cavs success was due to the play of their goalies. Freshman Goalie Alivia Dietsch has four shutouts on the season thus far.

However, the lineup has had its changes. Last year, sophmore Goalie Marissa Jenkins took the reigns as the starter.

Even though Jenkin’s time on the field has declined since last season, she has showed the Cavaliers her skill set. Goalies do not switch out as often as other positions they are normally the staple player.

Jenkins is a team player, she stays positive throughout the whole game. She cheers her team

on and stays in tune the whole time. She continues to go to practice everyday to get better with her position.

“I keep working hard to make myself and my team bettter,” Jenkins said.

Even though Jenkins stays positive, it disappoints her to not be able to play after starting every game last year. But she does not let it discourage her because of how passionate she is about soccer.

Without soccer she feels like something is missing from her schedule. Some might say it’s a waste of their time but not Jenkins. She has her time management all mapped out. She is

used to being a student athlete.

Staying positive is key when playing on a team. From the looks of it Marissa is definitely a team player regardless if she’s on the field or not.

The Blue and White return to action on Oct. 15 against CSAC opponent Gwynedd Mercy University. The Cavaliers are on a five game winning streak and look to extend their streak to six games. Game time is set for 6 p.m.

McDevitt’s goal bounced right off the goalie’s feet. Gucci’s goal was a corner pass from junior, Jen Webb, which hit off the post and finally Loughman’s goal was a shot through the defense to the open net.

With the win, the Cavaliers are undefeated in the CSAC with a 4-0 record and have improve to 8-3 on the season.

After the game Loughman expressed her thoughts on her goal that contributed to the Cavs

Fran Rafferty’s life after Cabrini basketball

CABRINIATHLETICS.COM

BY HELEN MASCHMEYER Staff Writer

Rebounds, foul shots and layups are commonly used words in Fran Rafferty’s vocabulary.

Graduating as one of Cabrini’s all-time leading scorers, Rafferty has made a name for himself in the Cabrini community.

Being recruited by Cabrini in high school, Rafferty knew he would be spending his next four years of college playing basketball as a Cabrini Cavalier. But after the basketball season is over and graduation day comes to an end, what is next?

Working in Delaware as an investment accountant for BNY Mellon, Rafferty’s life as he knew it in college has now changed into becoming what is known as the real world today. This means working a 9-5 Monday through Friday as well as commuting to Delaware from Conshohocken daily. Keeping himself preoccupied with a men’s league, Rafferty is still active with his basketball playing.

Aside from his men’s league, you can still find him on campus at the Dixon center as a personal

trainier for this year’s Cavaliers.

“He is still very involved in the program,” Men’s basketball player Ryan Charity said.

Completing 1,000 points over his career on the Cabrini Cavaliers, most fans were on the sidelines watching every step of the way.

Katie Smith, Rafferty’s girlfriend said, “He was the type of player that made you look forward to watching the game.”

Although Rafferty made quite the accomplishment, he was his harshest critic.

“It was a pretty cool feeling when I scored my thousandth point, but as far as where I finished I wasn’t really happy about it because of how our season ended last year,” Rafferty said.

“It was the earliest finish of my career and I felt that our team had plenty of power to move forward onto a fourth straight Sweet 16.”

Unfortunately during his last year, his career on the Cabrini Cavaliers had been cut short.

When asked about how this season will play out for the Cabrini Cavaliers Rafferty said, “I think it is going to be very inter-

esting. Obviously national player Aaron Walton Moss coming back is a huge help and one of my favorite teammates.”

Still being part of the Cabrini community, Rafferty hopes to make as many games as he can with his busy schedule.

“I will be there when I can.

It is going to be weird sitting on the other side of the floor but I’m really excited for the Cavaliers this season,” Rafferty said.

Although Rafferty has entered a new chapter of his life, he will never forget how much the Cabrini community helped shape his character. Being part of the Cabrini Cavaliers was more then just a highlight of college.

Rafferty said, “They were my brothers, my home away from home.”
