Romney rallies in WayneRepublican presidential candidate held a rally at the Valley Forge Military Academy
BY ROBERT RICHESNews Editor
Addressing and reinforcing his ! ve points to build a stronger middle class was the focus of a Presidential candi-date’s visit to Wayne on Friday, Sept. 28.
Former governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney addressed a standing-room only crowd, with hundreds upon thousands of supporters crowding Mellon Hall on the campus of Valley Forge Military Academy. Cabrini senior " omas Biddle described the line to get in as “like a mile long.”
“I’ll make sure the younger people today can get jobs tomorrow,” Romney said, addressing his ! ve-point plan which has been a focal point of his campaign.
" e event began with an acoustic set from prominent 1980’s country band Baillie and the Boys. Following the set, Valley Forge president Colonel Jim Doyle as well as several promi-nent Pennsylvania politicians took the stage including Spring! eld Republican Party Chairman Michael Puppio, Congressman Jim Gerlach, Lieutenant Governor Jim Cawley, Senate candidate Tom Smith and Senator Pat Toomey.
“I think there’s momentum here in Pa.,” Smith said. “I think it’s looking good. " ere’s a possibility that we can take the White House and the Senate. I’m optimistic.”
During his address, Senator Toomey implied that it may be time for new blood in the White House.
“I would suggest that it’s time for change,” Toomey said.
Members of the Cabrini community provided a presence at the rally as well, with it taking place within a ten-minute walk from campus. Sta# , students and alumni were all in attendance.
“I thought the group was very opti-mistic,” chief facilities engineer Bob Iodice said. “I think the message from Gov. Romney was pretty positive.”
Recent alumni and students of the College were in attendance at the rally, which can be seen as positive taking into account the importance and urgen-cy of the youth vote.
“I think [Romney]’s gonna help the young students get jobs,” Brandon Redmond, class of 2012 alumnus, said. “As a graduate this past year, I still haven’t gotten a job…there’s not a lot of jobs open right now.”
Supporters in attendance were hope-
ful and optimistic that Romney can pull o# a victory in November, even though recent polls show President Barack Obama holding a slim lead over Romney.
Romney came out to speak with Kid Rock’s hit “Born Free” serving as his entrance music. " rongs of support-ers started chants such as “Let’s Go Mitt!” and “U-S-A!” through thunderous applause.
“His speech was great, I hope he wins,” senior Gabrielle Bruno said.
Romney presented his ! ve points for what he’d want to implement as President and detailed why his poli-cies would work better than President Obama’s. He addressed the Valley Forge cadets seated behind him and shook their hands following the rally.
One of the more common discussion points among each politician that spoke was a desire for a change in American leadership. " ey believed that the coun-try would not be able to a# ord another four years under President Obama.
“It’s time for America to lead again,” Romney said, “and I will lead.”

Wyclef Jean looks ahead for HaitiBY LAURA GALLAGHERManaging Editor
Famed singer and former Haitian presidential candidate Wyclef Jean believes that, in order to help the country of Haiti get back to economic independence, Haitian-Americans must lobby in Washington and get “the dual-citizenship bill” passed. " is bill will allow Haitians who live in the United States to travel back to Haiti and contribute in its voting process.
“" ere was a time in America when being Haitian wasn’t a cool thing,” Florcy Morisset, a Haitian-American and cultural arts ambassador, said. “[Wyclef Jean] has shown an artistic, political and philanthropic side, and I really embody everything that he is doing.”

Although it seems like the presidential debates cover almost every topic imaginable, this year one question keeps getting asked: What about Sudan?
" e Catholic Relief Services (CRS) chapter of Cabrini College took it upon them-selves to spread the word about a petition on change.org draft-ed by senior math major Brian Wagner and Villanova junior CRS ambassador Carolyn Rau hoping to help end the su# er-ing of the Sudanese people. " e overall goal is to get one question asked at the presi-dential debates about the suf-fering in Sudan:
“What are you, if elected, going to do to stop the su# er-ing of the Sudanese people?”
“I ! rst heard about Sudan at a State Radio concert at the Electric Factory about 6 years ago,” Wagner said. “Since then I’ve become increasingly involved in working to raise awareness in Sudan. When Dr. Zurek asked for my involve-ment, I jumped at the oppor-tunity.”
" e best part about this campaign: it’s almost all through social media.
#WhatAboutSudan?
As Americans, we’re conditioned to see church and state as mutually exclusive. We’re told that our democracy will crumble unless we keep religion out of government. But in fact, religion and churches are very present in our political lives, all the way from discussions of Romney’s Mormonism to Catholic bishops’ disagreement with Obamacare.
What place can or should religion have in our public lives, if any?
A group of American faith leaders – Christian, Jewish and Muslim – have joined together to issue an interfaith national eco-nomic budget. " ey’ve proposed a bud-get based on principles of social justice, in opposition to proposals that seem to care hardly at all for poor and su# ering people.
Together they drafted and proposed the Faithful Budget in opposition to the budget proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan and approved by the House of Representatives. Ryan’s budget, in contrast, has been condemned by Catholic bishops as immoral because it will hurt the poor. Despite Ryan’s own Catholic faith and his assertion that his budget oper-ates on Catholic Social Teaching principles, it doesn’t. His proposals aren’t Catholic as they completely ignore the poor.
Even despite di# erences in their faiths and the many disparities of their separate scriptures, religious leaders and like-mind-ed organizations banded together to ask the U.S. administration to uphold values that they all share: to serve the common good with mercy and justice; to provide strong support for the poor and vulnerable, both domestically and internationally; and to continue caring for the Earth and nature.
But where’s the religion?Serving the common good isn’t some-
thing exclusively found in Bible groups; it’s found in the Supreme Court, in community centers and in public parks – even on gov-ernment-funded interstate highways and public transportation routes.
Support for the poor and vulnerable is seen in welfare and food stamp programs, in government campaigns to end hunger
and provide clothing and education for the underprivileged.
Caring for nature? Green initiatives and the battle against global warming aren’t derived from the Quran, Torah, or even the Bible.
" ese key foundations of the Faithful Budget are more in tune with the “irreli-gious” Capitol Hill that we’ve come to know – that is, until you realize just how religious the Hill actually is.
Out of the 100 U.S. Senators currently serving, all identify with a religious tradition. Similarly, Rep. Pete Stark of the House of Representatives serves as the only “openly” atheist member of Congress in its history – so where’s the secularism that’s stressed?
As a country that assumes total detach-ment from religious tradition is not only possible, but also ideal, there seems to be very little practice of this distinct separation.
If top government o1 cials are religious, how does church not permeate the U.S. Capitol? How can we expect our administra-tion to leave their beliefs at home when we
ourselves struggle with maintaining such a disconnection?
" is clash between reality and our ideals is exactly what we at the Loquitur believe calls for a more tolerant discussion of faith on the federal level. Although the U.S. regularly provides funding for faith-based non-pro! ts and non-governmental organizations, the endorsement rarely extends into legislative delegation. " is is why the Faithful Budget is unique and worth learning about: Congress isn’t the one behind it.
When three major religions are capable of deliberating amongst themselves to come up with a course of action for an entire nation – seeking not to preach or convert, but to truly care and advocate for the voice-less and marginalized – it leaves us wonder-ing one thing: while we remain tethered to the idea of keeping public o1 ce and places of worship intrinsically separate, are we passing up an e# ort to collaborate, to unite as Americans, as one nation?
Should we not strive for a diverse array of voices, joined under the common goal of caring for all Americans – and for all humans? For the collective goodwill of cre-ation?
" e U.S. Congress isn’t made up entirely of Christians; not exclusively by Jews either, or by Muslims. " ere are Buddhists among their ranks, even Quakers and Unitarian Universalists.
At Cabrini, we’re taught the importance of the common good. We’re also provided with a spectrum of perspectives and shown the importance of “welcoming the strang-er” to the table. We’re involved in part-nerships with vulnerable communities like Norristown, which stands as testament to what change the Faithful Budget can a# ect.
We, better than many Americans, rec-ognize the link between faith and justice, between church and state. It stands on our shoulders to advocate for the poor, to call for a Faithful Budget.
If not us, then who?
Make the federal budget Faithful

Dr. Jackson Katz, currently living in Los Angeles, Calif., is an in2uential educator, among many other things, that has been dubbed one of America’s leading anti-sexist male activ-ists. He will be speaking at the College on Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. as part of the annual Domestic Violence Symposium. He is the creator and co-founder of the Mentors in Violence Prevention Program at Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society, which is the most utilized gender violence pre-vention program in college and professional athletics. "is program used the “bystander” approach, which is focused on the role of peers in di#erent settings such as work, school and teams. "is approach is now a mainstream practice in domestic violence. Katz is a true innovator who has achieved a lot and proved he is knowledgeable on domes-tic violence issues. Along with his accomplishments in MVP, he was a member of the U.S. Secretary of Defense’s Task Force on Domestic Violence in the military from 2000-2003. Katz is an author, !lm-maker and social theorist who will continue to inspire many through his insight and dedi-cation.

Although it seems like the presidential debates cover almost every topic imaginable, this year one question keeps getting asked: What about Sudan?
"e Catholic Relief Services (CRS) chapter of Cabrini College took it upon them-selves to spread the word about a petition on change.org draft-ed by senior math major Brian Wagner and Villanova junior CRS ambassador Carolyn Rau hoping to help end the su#er-ing of the Sudanese people. "e overall goal is to get one question asked at the presi-dential debates about the suf-fering in Sudan:
“What are you, if elected, going to do to stop the su#er-ing of the Sudanese people?”
“I !rst heard about Sudan at a State Radio concert at the Electric Factory about 6 years ago,” Wagner said. “Since then I’ve become increasingly involved in working to raise awareness in Sudan. When Dr. Zurek asked for my involve-ment, I jumped at the oppor-tunity.”
"e best part about this campaign: it’s almost all through social media.
“When Dr. Zurek told my ECG 300 class that CRS had decided to ask Cabrini to start a social media campaign to get a question about Sudan asked at the Presidential debates, my initial reaction was ‘"is is so cool!’” Clare Pressimone, an
active supporter of the peti-tion, said.
"e majority of circula-tion this issue is getting right now is through social media, mainly Facebook and Twitter. "is campaign has its own Facebook page, Twitter name, and hashtag.
“Social media is such a major part of society, so using it to reach the world about such a noble cause seems so easy and natural so why not go for it?!” Pressimone said.
"e country of Sudan has been struggling for decades now for many reasons-- an unstable economy, a govern-ment that’s unwilling to pro-tect its people, crime, stalled e#orts of the international
community and most recently, border security and oil drilling.
The petition compares the su#ering of the Sudanese people to the Holocaust, and the situation in Rwanda where nearly a million people were killed in 100 days. "e petition
states, “Today, we are faced with a choice: We can turn a blind eye until our children cry ‘Never Again,’ or we can stand up and ensure Never Again means Never Again.”
“Getting a question asked [at the presidential debates] is the !rst step in getting the conversation started,” Wagner said. “It’s not realistic that we’re going to be able to end the crisis ourselves in the next week, but if we can at least let our elected o1cials know that this is an issue people are con-cerned about, we can start to induce change.”
It seems as if most peo-ple aren’t properly educated about what exactly is going on in Sudan. "e presidential
debates would help this issue not only get press, but also increase awareness about the horrible things that happen around the world.
“As I became more educat-ed on the situation I wanted to know why we weren’t doing more to end the su#ering in Sudan and South Sudan,” Pressimone said. “So asking the Presidential candidates directly is the perfect way to ensure something is done on a governmental level.”
And what better way to spread the word than social media. With 140 million twit-ter users, and 995 million Facebook users the word is bound to get spread. "e only thing that could help? A celeb-rity. Dr. Jerry Zurek along with the CRS ambassadors would be ecstatic if George Clooney got on board with this petition.
“If we work hard to bring the Sudan situation to light, perhaps the world will realize that pain and su#ering are still prevalent in our world and we must do something to put it right,” Pressimone said.

FROM JEAN, PAGE 1
Jean discussed these issues, along with many others, on Monday, Oct. 1 at the Free Library in Philadelphia, Pa. Jean recently published a book called “Purpose: An Immigrant’s Story” that discusses his music career, his devotion to his Haitian roots and his journey from a life of poverty, to becoming famous.
In 2010, Jean ran for o1ce in Haitian presidential election – right after the earthquake that left the country in ruin. He felt it was his duty to serve his coun-try. Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council, however, rejected his bid for candidacy because he hadn’t lived in Haiti for more than !ve years.
“A president’s job is an hon-orable job, but it is the worst job on the planet,” Jean said. “You are saying you subject yourself to the highest form of public service. But to live and to not serve is a disservice at the end of the day.”
E#orts to rebuild Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, accord-ing to Jean, cost approximately $1 billion per year, but Haitians displaced throughout the U.S. are sending over $2.5 billion annually to the country – more
than what’s being used on reconstruction e#orts.
Jean cautioned that Haiti’s educated youth needs to be able to vote the right people into o1ce to get the right bills passed and improve Haitians’ quality of life.
Although he did not get elected, he has still been very much involved in the growth of Haiti. One way he is doing this is through a charity called “Yele” that he founded. "e organization focuses on wide-spread issues that run deep in the country and trying to bal-ance emergency relief for long-term sustainability, the mission
states.Rebuilding Haiti’s agriculture
is something that he also feels needs major improvement. He proposed the idea of an “agro-bank,” which would provide funding toward developing irri-gation and the right fertilizers to maintain agricultural work.
“If we’re talking agriculture, and not agrobank, where are we going to get the money to recre-ate the soil?” Jean asked. “"e devastating fact is that people are cutting down trees. "is is a way of survival. How do we tell the people not to cut down trees to build a !re?”
"is is a harsh reality that
Haiti is faced with. If an agro-bank is created, it can fund money to help sustain the land for a brighter future.
"roughout his speech the audience had chances to ask Jean questions. A pastor from West Kensington asked Jean what courage meant to him.
“I de!ne courage not by words, but by putting forth action,” Jean responded.
Martin Luther King “laid it out” in words and acted out his courage; the current generation, Jean says, has to do “less talking and more acting.“
Approximately 4.5 billion tons of Haiti’s rice comes from the U.S., primarily Arkansas, according to Jean. "is rice is 2ooding the Haitian markets, making it di1cult for farmers to make a living.
“Let’s build these agro-banks. Let’s do the same thing that they’re doing in Arkansas for Haiti,” Jean said. “Until you come up with a system where you actually provide a mecha-nism to build the outsource of this, then it’s just a theory.”

" e already-depleted force does not respond to prop-erty crimes or car accidents that don’t cause injury.Critics opposed to the move say that an unproven idea is putting the general public at risk, however, the city has very limited options at this point.

“I had expectations for it being bigger because the last student that was here said there’s a couple of thousand students at the college,” Dougan said.
Although he was surprised at the size he is really enjoy-ing his time and classes.
“I actually enjoy all of my classes so far. I !nd the stu# interesting. Some of them I do !nd di1cult, such as some of the tests and exams,” Dougan said.
Dougan being an art major back in Northern Ireland said he never had to do homework. His art classes con-sisted of just doing art.
“We wouldn’t do any exams or tests, we just make things and did an essay,” Dougan said.
Homework was de!nitely a change for Dougan because before coming here he hadn’t done any homework in over !ve years. Going along with change another thing that stood at to him was the wildlife on campus.
“I’m still getting used to all the deer because we don’t get that back home,” Dougan said.
Although he is adjusting to life in America well he admits it has been tough being as far away from his family as he is.
“I’m here for 10 or 11 months so I’m going to have to get used to it,” Dougan said.
Dougan says being away from his family is di1cult but essential. He plans on living either in America or Australia.
“"ose are the two places I would like to hopefully teach,” Dougan said.
Teaching is a goal of Dougan’s after he !nishes school. He said he never had a male art teacher and hopes to be one in the near future.
A lot of people stop Dougan to hear him talk, com-menting they like his accent.
“I don’t have an accent,” Dougan said. “You all have an accent.”

CRS guides new college ambassadorsBY GEORGETTE BREEN-NAYLORSta! Writer
Friday is the day most people look for-ward to, so they can relax after a long week of school. However, that was not the case at Cabrini this Friday for the ambassa-dors of Catholic Relief Services, otherwise known as CRS. Cabrini held training for CRS Ambassadors on Friday, Sept 28, in Grace Hall. "e day started at 9:45 a.m. and did not !nish until 3:45 p.m. Villanova University joined Cabrini students for a day dedicated to learning how they can help others.
“We are one, doing it all for a common good,” Dan Luner, freshman communica-tion major, said. He was informed about CRS in his ECG 100 class and he liked the idea of helping others. Like Luner there were other students there for the !rst time trying to learn how to they can make a dif-ference in our world.
Not only did Cabrini have students who were there for the !rst time but so did Villanova. Mary Bianco, a sophomore from Villanova, shared the reason she signed up. She was in Tanzania two years ago and worked close with CRS sta# and became inspired by their work and decided she wanted to get involved.
“I’m really excited. We have a lot of stu# planned for this semester,” Bianco said.
Cabrini began a partnership in 2005 with CRS being the !rst college to do this. Since then four other universities have been added to the list of partners with CRS. CRS does not only work in America but also in approximately 100 di#erent countries.
CRS is open to anyone who wants to join. "is is a great program for any stu-
dent who is interested in social justice and all of the issues going on in our world. Each student signs up for di#erent reasons
but all have one goal and that is to help others.
CRS has a mission to assist the poor
and vulnerable people overseas, promote integral human development, respond to major emergencies, !ght for disease and
poverty, nurture peaceful and just societ-ies and serve Catholics in U.S. as they live their faith in solidarity with the global
family.CRS advocates and lives in solidarity
with the poor and vulnerable locally and globally. CRS has a Food Fast in the spring for 12 hours so you can know how others feel.
“Since the Food Fast I learned not to waste food and water because for some it’s not easily accessible,” Chelbi Mims, senior communication major, said.
Brian Wagner, a senior at Cabrini, started the What about Sudan petition at Cabrini with the collaboration of Villanova ambassadors as well. "e What about Sudan petition is asking that presidential candidates in the upcoming debates will speak about what they will do for Sudan. Wagner, along with many others, are ask-ing others to support this petition.
“We want people to speak about Sudan, we want them to research and for the press to write about it,” Rasha Sharhan, senior math major and president of the Ambassadors at Cabrini said.

A blind-eye towards HATE
Wade Michael Page, the shooter of the Wisconsin massacre, was part of violent skinhead communities like Hammerskin Nation. Even being a part of such a notoriously violent group Wade expressed no warning signals before lashing out and committing such a heinous crime.
Hate groups are just that. They serve no productive purpose and attempt to dismantle the foundation people’s tolerance is based on. With attention focused on terrorism originating overseas, it is understandable why hate groups have been able to thrive and grow more so than ever
0DUN� 3RWRN� VDLG�´3HUKDSV�� LW·V� ÀQDOO\�time for Napolitano to take this problem seriously and rebuild and strengthen Homeland Security’s intelligence capabilities to face a clearly mounting threat.”
Although Potok brings up a great point, a random act of violence shouldn’t be considered the call to arms against these groups.
A clearer understanding, perhaps comes from David Gomez, “Society should focus on identifying and developing protocols to deal with the mentally ill.”
Something clearly wasn’t right in Wade’s head for him to commit this mass murder.
Treating this as a case of mental illness instead of blaming hate groups for the cause of this crime seems like a more appropriate matter. The opposition may say that mental illness would be a cover up for a planned demonstration from these violent groups.
In reality anyone can
state their opinion about what they think it
is. The truth in it all is the crime was random.
It was also not pre-meditated by the entirety
of any of the hate groups Page belonged
to. Instead it was acted upon by a single man therefore holding him responsible.
J.M. Berger said, 'Have we been so
focused on Al Qaeda that we've lost sight
of an extremist problem at home?' In a way, yes. When our country displays strong
military presence in a certain country, one
can understand why the government's main
focus is there.
Money is being poured into these countries to aid the military. Naturally the government will be more attentive to the places they are sending soldiers.
J.M. Berger also talks about the military, encouraging them to do more to combat extremism in its ranks. This jumps back to Page who was allegedly radicalized while he served in the Army.
Although it is easier to
SRLQW�D�¿QJHU�DQG�EODPH�WKH�HQWLUH�PLOLWDU\��soldiers at all stages of training are taught
to accept their fellow soldiers as brothers. Without this key fundamental the U.S. ZRXOG� EH� D� ODUJHO\� OHVV� HIIHFWLYH� ÀJKWLQJ�force. So after analyzing that side of the spectrum it is clear that this is false claim.
“The armed forces should have known better after terrorist attacks like the Oklahoma city bombing, which was carried out by its extremist veterans,” Matt Kennard said.
It is quite simple to make the ties that
in both crimes the men were veterans of the
United States.The stereotype that men are
radicalized because of being in the military
is hearsay.
The majority of people who commit
crimes every day such as murder are not
veterans. If the medical student who
committed the Aurora theater shooting was a veteran it would have been highlighted and put in the spotlight that he was a veteran.
The talk of the world would have been,
he was radicalized in the military and that is
what made him do it. Assuming things like

7KH�8�6�� LV� GHÀQLWHO\� ODFNLQJ� DWWHQWLRQ�towards these hate groups. However, by portraying these groups for the cause of a single man’s actions is wrong.
Regardless of age, it’s about RIGHTS
Behind the glamour of modeling lies a grim reality for young girls. Children enter their teen years on a linear path to adulthood. How are they supposed to develop if they skip this part of their life? Models under 18 are tossed in the middle of a professional workforce and treated like a working adult.
Most young models are stripped of their adolescent years to gain experience and exposure for when they are older. But during this time they don’t have the same protections as other child performers. Modeling agencies say that they take care of their models, but often abuse occurs anyway.
"e Council of Fashion Designers of America has made e#orts to promote the message that “beauty is health.” But their guidelines are more careless than New York labor laws. Child models working in New York lack the protections that exist for other child performers, who have union representation and provisions for chaperones and tutors.
For an aspiring model, to work with a global icon is an honor and industries see this as a gift to the model. Because they are dropped into this career at such a young age, being jet-lagged, sleep-deprived and malnourished is all they know and are used to.
I don’t think these young models realize they have to make the appropriate decisions in regards to their future. "ese young adults have to be aware of what’s happening around them, understand the industry, not let older people control their actions and realize that not everyone is their friend.
It’s a tough world out there; where image is everything. Teen models have a lot on their shoulders in regards to maintaining a strong sense of identity and self esteem. Young girls have a certain image of what a model is “supposed” to look like. "e fashion industry sends out an unnatural thinness message that women, and even very young girls, may try to emulate. Negative body image can lead to serious health issues which can a#ect an individual during the course of their adolescence and into adult life.
More work needs to be done to ensure child models can $nish high school and enjoy basic health standards. Some see it as fashion, but I see it as child abuse.

‘Tech savvy’“Made in China.” It seems like we see that little three-
word phrase everywhere and when we do $nd something that isn’t made there, at least for me, it seems like the greatest thing since sliced bread. Unfortunately, many of our nation’s products, from the toys in Happy Meals to major pieces of technology, are manufactured in other countries, especially China.
China has always had the “numbers game” going for them. With more than a billion people, they have the man-power necessary to su&ciently run major factories and businesses for extended periods of time very cheaply because they always have replacement workers ready to go if one worker decides to quit.
China and Japan are also two major technology-oriented nations, producing millions of dollars worth of technology annually. "is is where America begins having its own issues.
In America, we have minimum wage, workers’ rights, labor unions and many other laws and regulations to protect the right of the worker. However, while many view these as bene$cial and the moral and ethical thing to do, I believe to a certain degree, it is a#ecting the economy negatively.
When large companies feel they can have their products made cheaper through outsourcing jobs, they almost always outsource. After all, why wouldn’t they? Outsourcing work to other countries, like China, means that they can have their products made for less, that they can pay their employees less, and in the end they’ll have more pro$t in their pockets. Now here’s the million dollar question: Should the United States seek more technical manufacturing?
I think it’s really a pointless question. Of course the United States should insource jobs and seek more
technical manufacturing. By insourcing jobs and having companies keep their businesses in the United States, they create more jobs that stimulate the economy.
However, there are some issues that companies would
have to see addressed before attempting to do this. High-tech companies in America say that it is too expensive to build their products in America, and that they cannot a#ord it. I believe this has to do with the cost of materials and the idea of minimum wage forcing companies to pay at least a minimum salary. Many technology companies also say that there are not enough workers with the appropriate training to do these jobs. So how does the U.S. address these issues so it can stop outsourcing, begin insourcing and begin to stimulate the economy?
I think that the $rst step that has to be made to get more
technology-based jobs is for American-based companies to consider the positive impact of creating more jobs through technology manufacturing. By creating jobs, they would help boost the economy.
My second point is in reference to not having enough people properly trained to do the jobs. I think that companies should take the initiative to create programs to properly train individuals looking for jobs. I believe that once domestic companies invest in proper training programs, then they will have quali$ed employees that can do the jobs properly.
"is will pay o# the initial cost of training programs in the long run because it will save the costs of having to import the products from other countries, as well as helping to create more job opportunities and helping to boost the economy.
So, should the United States seek more technology manufacturing? Yes, I believe that it is for the common good of the country that technology-producing businesses give the United States a chance, and that the United States pushes to implement more technology based businesses within its borders.
"rough generating training programs to educate workers on how technology should be made, and keeping technology producing businesses here in America, we have a stepping stone to help create job opportunities and to help stimulate the economy.
What do you think?
Colleges by the numbers: What’s a ranking anyway?
“"e higher the ranking, the better the school.” Do you believe that? Because I don’t. I'm pretty sure more students look at the quality of the education than the name of the school. Unfortunately, this isn’t always true.
"ree years ago when I was applying for colleges the last thing that was on my mind was the rankings. Students go crazy over the competition of which college is better. I honestly could not even tell you the ranking of Cabrini let alone any other schools.
In a society that enjoys top-10 lists of all types, the ranking of colleges has strong cultural importance. Even though rankings are a useful tool for prospective students and parents, I believe there are many other key parts that go into picking a right college.
I don’t believe that it matters if the school is in the Top 25 Best College lists. When applying to schools, students shouldn’t just base their options on ranking and I honestly don’t think that most students even look at the ranking that much. "e name of the institution is more important to upcoming freshman students than the ranking.
I believe that if students get to listen to graduates’ thoughts on the education that they received from the institution, it will be more valuable than just attending a school for its ranking. College is more important for satisfaction and outcomes than how
well known it is in society.“College selection should be more about the
best $t for each student, which may not necessarily be a school that is highly ranked,” Beth Gill$llan wrote on the New York Times’ Room for Debate website. Colleges always have signi$cant pressure to improve a ranking but there are plenty of other things they should be worried about, like their students graduating. All colleges should be concerned about their “core educational value” and not solely focus on paying too much attention to published rankings.
When going through the college process, rankings need to be the last thing considered. Rankings are not the top priority for new college students to look at or discuss. It’s crucial for students to make sure they pick out the college that is right for them and which institution will help them succeed in their future employment.

To sum up a successful family weekend the Cabrini College Kite Festival and Soccer Clinic was a great time and was an event that drew a lot of people from the sur-rounding communities to venture onto Cabrini’s cam-pus; this participation made this event a success. Many participants brought their own kites, but most wanted to show their Cabrini spirit by !ying the college’s very own kites, which were given out to all who attended. As the day unfolded, the upper athletic "eld grew fuller with families and friends enjoying the day and the sky "lled with kites.
“It was my three-year-old son’s "rst time !ying the kite, and even though it didn’t leave the ground at least he was trying and having fun doing it,” Liliane Min said enthusi-
astically. “He liked the wizard’s castle more and actually went twice.”
Min is a mother of one from King of Prussia who attended the festival with her son and husband. #is fam-ily is actually one of many that heard about the Cabrini event through Facebook and decided to attend.
“Mailers, websites, friends, and faculty at the college keep us well informed about the events that happened here at Cabrini,” Peter Smerecki said. “My wife is actually an alumna so we try to attend as many events as pos-sible.” Smerecki is also a resident of King of Prussia, who attended with his wife Donna.
Junior social work major Emily Sturiz is a transfer stu-dent at Cabrini this semester but she didn’t have to travel far because she is also from King of Prussia. She attended the kite festival with her mom, sister, nieces and nephew.
When Emily was asked how she was enjoying the day so far, she said that she was really enjoying the time she was spending with her family on campus.
“#e kids having fun is what matters most to me,” Sturiz said. She enjoyed the picnic and watching the movie “Brave.” She said it was the perfect sunny day and a great way to end the family weekend.
#e soccer clinic was a success due to a majority of the men and women’s soccer team attending to give the children that came out a good push in the right direction.
“It was nice helping the kids out. Seeing them have fun made it a great day overall,” Shaun Ostrowski, sophomore communication major and soccer player, said.
#e children that were there enjoyed themselves going to di$erent stations, doing di$erent drills, while playing games.
“Soccer pretty much is my life because I grew up around soccer and I’d picture my life di$erently if soccer wasn’t a part of my life,” Ostrowski said.

Relationships in college just add one more thing to juggle in your schedule but many students think it’s worth the challenge.
“Seeing each other often is the best part of being together and going to the same school,” Brittney Sims said. Sims and her boyfriend, AJ Williams,
are both juniors who attend Cabrini College. “We met at Cabrini freshman year through
mutual friends,” Williams said. # ey have been inseparable ever since.
# e loyal couple tries to do the little things together like watching movies, eating in the caf together, studying and even working out at the gym together. “Because we go to a small school it is
easy for people to get into your busi-ness,” Sims said. “But if you try your best to keep things between you and your partner private, things work out.”Veronica Smith, sophomore biotech-
nology major, is one of many whose signi" -cant other does not attend Cabrini.
“It’s hard being apart if you’re both really busy because talking every day is really impor-
tant to us,” Smith said. “# e days when it’s hardest to " nd time to talk are usually when I need to talk to him the most.”
Her boyfriend of over four years, Brad Bauscher, lives about 30 minutes away in Reading, Pa. “We make an e$ ort to see each other every two weeks,” Smith said. “Sometimes he visits here and some-
times I go home.”But their relationship has not struggled as
a result of being apart during the school year. “I’m really happy with the way things are, I’d
love to stay with him through college and see where it goes from there,” Smith said.
All the lovebirds on campus do not a$ ect junior political science major Greg Robinson, who does not currently have a signi" cant other. “I encour-age young love,” Robinson said. “Some of my best friends are couples and it doesn’t bother me to hang out with them together. I want to go to their weddings!”
Being single on campus gives you a lot more freedom, Robinson says. “It leaves you with more alone time, which can be both good and bad. I don’t have to worry about someone else’s drama.”
Robinson loves the single life and is waiting for the right someone. “Hooking up outside of a rela-tionship is unsatisfying because there’s no passion,” Robinson said. “I love having my bed to myself!”
Smith and Bauscher plan to continue their relationship throughout college and after graduation. “We live together during the summer, so we already know how that works,” Smith said. # eir " ve-year anni-versary this Valentine’s Day will be one of many milestones for the couple.
Williams and Sims plan to stay together after they graduate and take it one day at a time. “Hopefully we continue to stay together and be close no matter where our careers take us after college,” Sims said. Both young couples give hope to a trend of short-lived relationships common in college.
Whether or not you attend the same school, if both parties are willing to make it work, it can last. “If you’re going to start something you should dedicate yourself to that relationship and take it seriously,” Williams said. “Otherwise, why waste your time?”

" ousands of students from hundreds of campuses come together on the iconic Benjamin Franklin Parkway for freebies, the city’s best food, immersion in Philly culture and of course, music. All that was needed to get into one of the many museums Philadelphia was to o& er was a valid College ID.
Campus Philly’s mission is to help acquaint the city’s college stu-dents with all of the opportunities that Philadelphia has to o& er.
Alyssa Rhodes and Alexa McAnally, fashion design majors of Moore College of Art and Design, were newcomers to the annual College Day. " e Rhodes and McAnally even participated in College Day this year with a screen-printing event.
" e Brooklyn NY Duo, Tanlines and the Raleigh, NC based duo IAMDYNAMITE performed live along with a few opening acts. Audience members were given a handful of warm, dance% oor-ready tracks free of cost.
In addition to music, InLiquid Art + Design hosted an art village where up-and-coming artists and design stars had their creations for sale. From wall art to sculpture, jewelry to rugs, there were plenty of great buys for the artsy.
Various discounts were available all-day long at select restaurants and shops in Center City.
If you have missed this year’s event, the neighborhood fair is expected to return for fall 2013.

HALLOWEEN : Tips to save for treatsAre you ready to answer the biggest question in October - What are YOU being for Halloween? BRIANNE DRISSELSta! Writer
Before you respond, think to yourself, do you really want to be Lady Gaga again this year, or do you just simply lack the creative ability when it comes to # nding and creating costumes like the rest of our generation? Halloween is the one day a year where you can dress-up and act like whoever you’d like (without being judged) for the whole day, so have fun with it!
For those who are having a hard time # nding a unique costume of their own, here are some low-cost suggestions to get your ideas % owing. Most of the items you’ll need to complete a look can be found in your own house, saving you tons for money!

!e captain of any sports team has many responsibili-ties in their position. Senior men’s soccer player and biol-ogy major Ryan Juhring is in his second year of assuming these responsibilities.
“A good captain is someone who leads by example,” Juhring said, “and can gain enough respect from his team-mates so that they will follow their lead. I don’t know if I’m a great captain, but I try to lead by example and do what I can to be a leader on the "eld.”
Juhring has been doing just that. He was just recently positioned at center back and has taken on this role and has been a great example as a leader on the "eld.
In his "rst three years with the Cavaliers, he played a huge part at center mid"eld for the team. But when the coaches asked him to play defense last spring, as a cap-tain, he would do anything to make the team better.
Juhring attended Kingsway High School in Swedesboro, N.J., where he played varsity basketball and varsity soccer in all four years. In coming to Cabrini, he knew that he would be playing soccer but it would be hard giving up basketball.
Since his freshman year, Juhring has contributed for the Cavaliers. He appeared in 21 games and started in one in his freshman campaign. He also added two goals and one assist as a freshman.
In his sophomore year, Juhring started and played in
16 games, scoring two goals and four assists for a total of eight points while helping to lead the Cavaliers to a CSAC championship.
As a junior, Juhring was unfortunately hit with the inju-ry bug and only was able to start and play in nine games. He still added a goal and an assist totaling three points.
He was a CSAC All-Academic honoree in both his freshman and sophomore year and also as a sophomore was name to the CSAC First Team.
“It’s an honor to be named captain two years in a row,” Juhring said. “I’m not the most vocal guy but I like to set the tempo on the "eld and keep a high intensity for the team. Knowing that my teammates respect me enough to name me captain means a lot and I try to set the best example I can and be positive on the "eld.”
Juhring has been one of the few members of this year’s men’s soccer team to have won a CSAC championship in the past.
“My favorite moment as a Cavalier was winning the CSAC Championship my freshman year,” Juhring said. “I didn’t get a ton of minutes but being a part of it was awe-some. I hope to win another one this year and I think we have the team to do it.”
Juhring doesn’t really have an o#season. Once the soc-cer season is over he jumps right into tennis during the spring.
Juhring and the rest of his teammates on the men’s soccer team travel to Neumann University for their next game on Saturday, Oct. 6. You can next see the Cavaliers
at Edith Robb Dixon Field on Monday, Oct. 8, when they host Rosemont College at 4 p.m.

!e men’s soccer team beat the Keystone College Giants by a score of 2-0 on Wednesday, Sept. 26, at Edith Robb Dixon Field.
After opening CSAC play with a dominant 3-0 win over Cairn University on Saturday, Sept. 22, the Cavs were out to keep the momentum going. !ey wasted no time in this game.
It started o# when sophomore George Lambritsios collected a pass from fellow sophomore Christian Martin and "red a shot past a diving keeper to score the game’s "rst goal in the 16th minute.
!e game from then on was completely dominated to by the Cavs. !ey created 15 chances as opposed to the Giants’ four,
despite clinging to a one goal lead.Finally, in the 82nd minute, the Cavs
got some breathing room. Sophomore Sean Neary got the ball on the left %ank about 27 yards from goal. He cut across the "eld pass-ing two Giants’ defenders before "ring a bul-let of a shot to the left of the keeper.
!e Cavs also played strong defensively. Junior goalkeeper Eric Nowicki picked up his second shutout of the season despite not seeing a shot on goal from the Giants.
With this win the Cavs have now won four of their last six games, bringing their record to 4-5-1 this season.
“We can be a strong contender for the CSAC title,” Martin said. “We have the tal-ent.”
“We don’t have key players; we just play o# one another,” junior defender Joe Halberr said. “If you take one guy out we will not be as successful as we’d like to be. To me, no one person stands out.”
On a team with dangers all over the "eld from dual top scorers, George Lambritsios and Anthony Girolamo to the six consecu-tive players tied on one goal, you have to be wary of all their weapons.
“Going into CSAC as the one seed and hopefully winning it is the goal,” Martin said. “Now with the new head coach, we play with
more of an o#ensive mindset so that should help us attack with more %uidity.”
The Cavaliers next game will be on Saturday, Oct. 6, when they travel to Neumann University to face the Knights. !eir next home game is on Monday, Oct. 8, when they host Rosemont College.

Women’s tennis improves with win at Rosemont
BY RACHEL ANTUZZISta! Writer
For the "fth time in their short season, the Lady Cavaliers of the court swept an oppo-nent. On Saturday, Sept. 29, they continued their winning ways with another dominating sweep over Baptist Bible College.
“We were very con"dent going into the game,” sophomore Dana Wisniewski said, “and as the ["rst] game went on, it really showed that we were going to let [Bible Baptist College] end our successful streak.”
!e "rst set started out close with neither team really taking command of the court. !e teams battled back and forth, tied 7-7, 11-11 and then again 14-14.
Getting frustrated without making major headway in the set, the Lady Cavs turned up the intensity and took the lead. Senior Meg Ryan clinched the opening set with a clean kill over the net, 25-23.
!e two teams took to the court in the second set with Cabrini winning possession and putting three points on the board, one
after another. !e Defenders answered back with equal force, taking a four-point lead.
“We were going to have to "ght for it,” Wisniewski said. “We had beaten Baptist, 3-0, at a tournament earlier in the season but we knew that they wouldn’t just hand us the lead.”
!e set was neck-and-neck but the Defenders continued to keep control. !e Cavaliers would close the gap just before the Defenders would regain possession and rebuild their lead.
!e Cavaliers "nally tied it up at 23 all. !e next two minutes were nail-biting but Blue and White came out on top again win a 26-24 win in the second set.
Cabrini was "red up and it showed in the third set. !ey took a nine-point lead over Baptist Bible early. !e Defenders closed the de"cit to just two but that was the closest they got the rest of the set.
Cabrini’s momentum from the second set win had carried over into the third set and they weren’t going to slow down, winning the "nal set 25-14.
!is game marked the team’s 11th season win and their fourth CSAC win.
“It feels great having another win under our belt,” Wisniewski said.
!is winning streak is the longest the Cabrini volleyball team has had since 2009 when they had a 10 game streak.
Look for the Lady Cavs on Tuesday, Oct. 9, when they are back at Nerney Field House and take on rivals, Neumann Knights at 7 p.m.

For the "rst time in "ve sea-sons, baseball in Philadelphia is over after the 162-game sea-son. As disappointing as this is, it is a part of what makes baseball such a great game.
It is a natural cycle. Teams like the Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics are in the Postseason. !erefore, others have to be replaced.
!e Phillies were not the only team to pass the torch. Not one of the three division winners in the National League in 2011 successfully defend-ed their title. In the American League, while all three division winners defended their titles, the wildcards changed hands.
!is passing of the torch o#ers some unique opportuni-ties. !e Orioles and Nationals were both at the bottom of their respective divisions one year ago. Now, there is a pos-sibility they could meet in the World Series.
Last season, the San Francisco Giants and Athletics were both enduring an early o#season. !is year, we could see another Battle on the Bay for the World Series.
If you’re one of those peo-ple who can’t stay away from baseball even if your favorite team just "nished their last game of 2012, here are some teams in which you can place your rooting interest.
!e Orioles have former Phillie and fan favorite Jim !ome, making his latest bid at a World Series ring.
The Athletics are writ-ing their own movie script in the same year that the Best Picture nominee “Moneyball” hit theaters. Is this the year Billy Beane "nally wins the last game of the season?
Chipper Jones is retiring once the Atlanta Braves’ sea-son comes to an end. What if that was with a World Series championship?
With baseball’s regular sea-son over and "rst installment of the one-game wildcard being played tonight, baseball is once again opening the book on what should be another memorable October for fans who can’t get enough of the great American game.
Whether you’re rooting for a particular team or not, it’s time to enjoy the best part of the baseball season. !e Postseason is here and only time will tell when the next classic gets written.

Lady Cavs make splash at ImmaculataBY ANTHONY SESTITOSta! Writer
!e Cabrini women’s soccer team faced o# in a wet match against Immaculata University. !e weather did not look too promising on Tuesday, Oct. 2, but came to a drizzle as the Lady Cavs took Immaculata’s "eld.
!at didn’t stop the Lady Cavs, who battled their way to a 1-0 victory over Immaculata.
Immaculata came out strong and had the "rst shot on Cabrini goalkeeper Maddy Edwards in the "rst minute of play. Edwards stood strong between the pipes and held her ground as she watched another shot miss wide.
!e two teams went back and forth up the "eld with the ball, getting shut down by each oth-ers defense.
In the 20th minute of play, junior Bree !omson had a shot on target but was denied by Immaculata goalkeeper Meghan McCurnin.
Cabrini would have two more
chances as Julianna Ardire and Melissa Scanzano both had clear shots on net. Ardire’s shot was blocked by Immaculata’s defense and McCurnin made a great save on Scanzano’s attempt.
Cabrini was out-working Immaculata for most of the match but could not "nd the back of the net.
!e mist and fog fell on the "eld as Cabrini made sub-stitutions. Maura O’Connell, Bethany Feinberg, Alex Tralie and Breaghann Smith took the "eld in hopes of scoring the "rst goal of the game. Feinberg would be the "rst of the four to have a shot on net, but just missed the right post, sending the ball out of play.
Kerri Hinkelmon took the game’s "rst corner kick in the 41st minute, perhaps the best chance for either team in the "rst half. !e ball sailed right in front of the net but was cleared out before the Cavs could take control.
O’Connell would have the last chance of the "rst half. Her shot would be denied by McCurnin and the half ended knotted at zero.
The second half of the game started o# exciting as Immaculata fouled Cabrini junior Lauren Pallister a shot on goal but was saved.
Just two minutes later, Edwards was tested again with a shot that sailed just wide of the goal.
Edwards was on her game but the Cavaliers still needed a goal.
Finally, in the 74th minute, Ardire "red a shot of the inside of the crossbar o# a corner kick to give Cabrini the all-important
"rst goal. Edwards continued to stand
tall in net for the "nal 16 min-utes, powering Cabrini to their second conference win of the season.
For Edwards, it was the 21st shutout of her career. She made four saves in blanking the Mighty Macs.
!e win improved the Lady Cavs to 3-5-2 on the season. !ey remain unbeaten in con-ference play with a 2-0-2 record.

On a cold and rainy night, the Lady Cavs reigned supreme over another CSAC rival.
Neumann University had won two straight conference games entering Tuesday night’s game against Cabrini but were no match for the Lady Cavs in a 5-1 rout at Edith Robb Dixon Field.
!ings did not start smoothly for the Lady Cavs. Just over three minutes into the game, the Knights tallied "rst. Lindsey Spatola "red a shot that de%ect-ed o# a Cabrini defender and in for the "rst goal of the game.
!roughout the "rst half, the Lady Cavs continued to amount chanc-es. Finally, at the 27-minute mark, Karlie Gruccio "red a low shot that beat Neumann goalkeeper Lindsey Kasecamp to even the score.
Just over six minutes later, Gruccio tallied her second goal of the half, again o# a penalty corner, to give the Lady Cavs the lead going to the break.
“We really want to get home-"eld advantage,” Gruccio said. “We get a lot of support from our fans. It’s fun to give people a show.”
!e Lady Cavs didn’t let up in the second half. When a penalty shot was awarded in the 48th minute, newfound penalty-shot specialist Katie Savage stepped up to take it.
!e senior didn’t miss again, netting her fourth goal of the season to bring the Lady Cavs’ lead to two.
“We have a lot of people that can pull the trigger and put the ball in the net,” 17th-year head coach Jackie Neary said. “!at will continue to make us danger-ous in the CSAC.”
With time starting to run out on the Knights, the Lady Cavs put the nail in the co&n with the help of their senior star.
Lindsey Atzert knocked a ball out of midair and into the back of the net in the 60th minute. Six minutes later, she added her second goal of the half to cap the scoring.
“We just wanted to make sure we had that secure lead,” Atzert said. “I was just there to put it in. I couldn’t have done it without my teammates.”
!e win improves the Lady Cavs to an even 5-5 on the season overall. By hand-ing Neumann their "rst conference loss of the season, Cabrini remains a perfect 3-0 in CSAC play.
“Our overall goal is to get to the con-ference championship,” Atzert said. “Each game is important and it just helps lead us to our main goal.
“Each win is extremely important. We do want home-"eld advantage but overall we just want to make it to the championship.”
Much of the second half was spent in the attacking zone for Cabrini. !ey
"red 13 shots on goal in the game, over-powering the Knights with an o#ensive onslaught. For the Lady Cavs, the best o#ense is a good defense.
“I think defensively we try to stress not allowing them into the circle and I thought today they did a good job of that,” Neary said. “O#ensively we’re keeping that pressure on where we con-stantly going back at the goalie. !at’s another important part of what will help us reach our goal this year.”
!e Lady Cavs continue their sea-son by hosting a non-conference game against !e College of New Jersey on !ursday, Oct. 4. !ey’ll put their unde-feated conference record on the line against Cedar Crest College on Tuesday, Oct. 9.
“With Neumann, it’s always a scrappy game,” Neary said. “I’m very happy with the win.”
