! ere is only so much injustice that a society can endure before it collapses.

Dr. Joseph Romano and three other professors spoke at the faculty panel discussion about the 2012 election and social justice. Dr. Shirley Dixon of the education department, Dr. Sharon Schwarze of the philosophy depart-ment and Dr. David Dunbar of the biol-ogy department all were allotted time to talk about the importance of social justice in the election. One of the main points covered was the importance of advocating. Each professor that spoke approached the topic in their own way, but they all spoke of participation.

“Social justice requires a social con-tract. We the people engage in a social contract whereby we agree to curve our self-interest and claim only those rights from society which we are willing to grant to others. ! rough this social con-tract a common good for all is sought,” Romano said.

Dr. Romano read a letter to the audi-ence that he wrote to his local congres-sional representative. ! e main focus of the letter was how America and its government have changed during his lifetime. He said that the way to " x this is to get involved with our government and voice our opinions to the people in charge.

“What will it take to restore the social contract and once again bring a sense of equality and dignity to the name citizen? For starters, our representa-tives in government must restore bal-ance and moderation in our legislative policies,” Romano said. “We cannot be kidnapped by extreme ideological posi-tions that led to this serious inequality of wealth and opportunity. We must release government of the strangle hold

of ideologues more interested in per-sonal victories and misguided notions of patriotism that declare when it’s good for them, it’s good for the coun-try.”

Dr. Shirley Dixon also spoke of the historical events that have led to the widespread idea of social jus-tice, namely how Brown v. Board of Education “opened the door to wide-spread change” along with Plessy v. Ferguson. She closed by saying that something has to be done to “make sure our politicians fall in line to under-stand that the next generation must be educated in order to keep this country up and running and continue it.”

As a philosophy professor herself, Dr. Sharon Schwarze related the topics to philosopher ! omas Hobbes in her speech, naming him “the philosopher of elections.”

Swarze began, “He says we are moti-vated by two things. We’re motivated by fear of death and we’re motivated for desire for commodious living. If you look at the election, that’s exactly what elections are about.” She went on to explain how people view social justice and how she personally believes that “elections are not about social justice”.

“One concept of business is that ‘It’s mine, I earned it.’ All I need is govern-ment to help me maintain what I’ve earned. ! is notion of justice is a little narrow. It doesn’t see our interdepen-dence. It doesn’t go beyond of families and see us connected to other people. What about the powerless in our soci-ety: the young, the old, the sick, the poor?” Swarze said. “Justice simply can’t be contractual and rational, it also has to come from the heart as well.”

Concluding the talks, Dr. David Dunbar took a di# erent approach in assessing social justice. He sought to demonstrate the importance of social justice through the examples of natural resources, particularly water. As some-thing we use daily and need to survive,

the importance of water is intermi-nable. However most residents don’t even know the answers when asked the questions: Where does our water come from? Who owns our water? Is our water safe?

! ese queries directed listeners to question themselves on how involved they were in the important issues that face them. And also to demonstrate how little we think about our water sources in comparison to developing countries that struggle to " nd clean water to drink on a daily basis.

“We take our water for granted because there were a lot of pioneers and heroes that went before us to ensure that our drinking water would be safe. But I also want to stress that it’s not always going to be like that unless we’re proactive about what goes in our water and also to maintain those pro-tections that others have put in place for us. And to also look at the bigger picture, to look at some of the issues in developing countries.”

Despite the di# erences in topics, one underlying theme prevailed through-out. Participation is the key to address-ing any issue of social justice. However before the forms of advocacy any of the speakers mentioned takes place, the single-most important step has to be taken: voting. While writing letters and signing petitions is e# ective, voting is one of the easiest and most fundamen-tal ways to let your voice be heard and participate in your government. Too many times people say that they don’t believe their vote has an e# ect, they don’t like politics or they don’t know enough about the issues to side with a party; the fact has to be understood that without voting, policies won’t change and the important issues will be left in the hands of the percentage of the population that does vote.

THURSDAY OCTOBER 25, 2012

Last week’s faculty panel opened up a great discussion about the upcoming election, emphasizing the need for citi-zens to participate in their government – and that’s exact-ly what we, as college students, aren’t doing.

Whether it’s writing a letter to your congress-person or sign-ing a petition, Cabrini faculty sees the merit in participating in the constantly changing land-scape of politics.

It makes sense that this would be impor-tant. So why don’t many young adults our age care?

! e Loquitur sta# has been conduct-ing interviews with college students on campuses around the area, as far away as Temple and La Salle. While the general consensus from our sur-veying is that students are voting one way or the other for a candi-date from one of the two major parties, there’s an unsettling amount of students who aren’t vot-ing at all – and all with di# erent reasons.

Others think it’s just not going to matter. Period. Why wait in line at the polls when they’re

“not interested” in politics?As we’ve gone from college to col-

lege, from student to student, this pat-tern of voter apathy remains a constant

" xture.But why is this?Rasha Sharhan, a senior math major

here at Cabrini, is an Iraqi refugee. Her future depends on who becomes

President as she studies for her citizen-ship test. But she’s unable to vote. She’s not a citizen. She doesn’t have the same privileges as most of us do.

We’re all political people. Even if we’re not well-versed on public policy or ethics, let alone international law and economics, there’s a political dimension to us.

We live in a society with rules, laws, taxes. Some of us try to live only as social and per-sonal people – devoting all of

our time to just our families, to just what a# ects us at the moment, to our own fears, loves and hates.

But we’re more than that. ! e world is becoming interconnected every day,

and when one person doesn’t speak up, it means someone else speaks for them – decisions are made for them.

Without vocalizing dis-approval, or anger, or even sheer satisfaction, you’re keeping silent. Progress doesn’t come from silence. Change comes about through conversation, through collaboration, through compromise.

How else does a democ-racy work?

Oct. 7–13 marked Mental Health Awareness Week, a time when we are encouraged to confront a topic that many of us try to avoid everyday. !e truth is, we may not all have a mental illness, but we all have mental health.

While we often have negative images in our mind about what the issues are and mean, mental health dis-orders are a part of many of our lives and can become a relatively normal part of everyday life.

Mental illness a#ects 1 in 4 college students. In fact, two-thirds of those college students in need do not seek help, including those who are thinking about suicide. !ey worry about what will happen if they get help, some believe it will not work, and others don’t think their situa-tion is bad enough to warrant it.

For 10 years, college students in Active Minds chap-ters across the country have been rejecting that negative societal stance by speaking openly and honestly to their peers about the realities of mental health. Yes, they carry with them facts, statistics, and resources, but they are also equipped with something even more powerful: their voices.

Active Minds immediately resonated with Robin Suchy, president of Cabrini’s chapter of Active Minds.

“Having spent much of high school trying to deal with my own struggles with mental health, I knew that I wanted to try and use my experiences to help people and Active Minds gave me a great opportunity to do so,” Suchy said.

Cabrini’s chapter of Active Minds usually has an event at least once a month that focus on di#erent aspects of either eliminating stigma, educating people about mental health, and making people aware of the great services o#ered by our Counseling Center. So what has Cabrini

done to promote Mental Health Awareness Week?“We had our annual “Stomp Out Stigma” event where

we had over 200 feet of bubble wrap around campus that had the word stigma written on it and asked people to help us stomp it out. !is event really gets people thinking about what stigmas they may face and how they can help people feel less stigmatized, particularly surrounding mental illness,” Suchy said.

All volunteers for the event wore “Stigma Fighter” shirts similar to the shirts worn on the Glee episode that featured the song, “Born !is Way.”

Suchy’s dedication to spreading the e#ort to help people understand mental health goes beyond Cabrini’s campus. Last spring, Suchy was awarded a position on the Active Minds National Student Advisory Committee, where a group of "fteen students from around the coun-try represent the student voice of Active Minds at the National level.

“I’m on conference calls once a month talking to the national o1ce about new initiatives and I’m helping facil-itate sessions at the National Conference next month,” Suchy said.

Suchy is looking forward to applying to intern for Active Minds over this upcoming summer in Washington D.C. But for now, she’s working on letting some of the younger executive board members take on a more active role so that the club can keep strong after graduation. So what can be done to eliminate the stigma that surrounds mental health? Language is a big part of breaking percep-tions.

“Ultimately, remembering that mental illnesses are biological conditions,” Suchy said, “caused by imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain helps people to under-stand that these are not things people chose to have.”

Keeping an open mind about counseling and sur-rounding oneself with encouraging friends can go a long way in changing the attitude around mental health.

Prayer 101 gives students chance to pray, re+ect, relaxBY KAITLYN KOHLERPhoto Editor

Twice a month, one of the four peer ministers leads Cabrini College students in prayer.

On Tuesday Oct. 16 at 7:30, four stu-dents and Father Carl Janicki, the director of campus ministry, gathered in the Holy Spirit Library conference room for Prayer 101 to pray, re2ect and relax.

!is week’s prayer service was led by Anie Jamgochian, a junior majoring in English, American studies and religious studies. Each prayer service is lead by a di#erent peer minister. !e service started out with an opening prayer. Following the prayer, Jamgochian introduced the topic of this week’s prayer service, which was our daily schedules and how to balance them.

!roughout the service, students par-ticipated in various activities based on schedules. First, they "lled out a chart of their weekly schedules, so they were able to see how busy they really were.

Following the "rst activity, students then "lled out a pie chart and divided up spaces in order of how they would like to spend their time. !e students were instructed to "gure out how to incorporate faith into their schedules.

I thought to myself, “what does a busy schedule have to do with faith?,” but I soon discovered what the link between the two was. !e main point of this prayer service was focused around how to "nd time in our schedules for our faith, to pray, to

re2ect and to take time for ourselves.!e group discussed their favorite plac-

es on campus to relax and clear their thoughts. Jamgochian lead the discussion and revealed to the group that her favorite place to relax on campus was the chapel.

Another student told his peers that his favorite place on-campus to unwind was the commons.

“!e commons, I feel, is kind of a spiri-tual center on campus. You get to experi-ence a sense of spaciousness from being out there, especially around the peace pole. You’re able to free yourself and kind of create a sense of spaciousness from being out in nature, you have a tendency to feel more free and feel the tension in your body start to free itself. By spending time in nature, feeling the gratitude from being out there and having the experience of being there it’s, for me, a very worth-while experience,” John McDevitt, a senior liberal studies major, said about how the commons is a place for him to relax and de-stress.

!e prayer service lasted about 45 min-utes and ended with a closing prayer. Two other Prayer 101 sessions will occur this semester, with one scheduled for Nov. 5 and another scheduled for Nov. 20.

Sparring over foreign policy, Obama goes on the offense

At the debate Monday night President Obama was on the o# en-sive attacking Romney and calling his plans “wrong and reckless.” Romney countered in explaining that the United States is not a pres-ence around the world. Romney’s main point being the apology tour and how the United States is appearing weaker and the “apology tour” by Obama did not work. ! e candidates then go on to argue about the attacks in Lybia and how to handle the di# erent relations with countries that pose a nuclear threat. ! e debate steered away from the foreign policies that it was supposed to be on, to discussions about domestic policies.

Sarah Means’ team then played Lil Rey’s Bunnies. !ey took second and won a $10 Sunoco gas card for each of the players. Lil Rey’s Bunnies took third place, even having started out so strong in the beginning.

“You know, it wasn’t all about the win,” Tori Canelli said. “It was a good time to hangout with friends.

“I will de"nitely play again next year. Hopefully it’s just on a dif-ferent day so more people will show up and there will be more teams to compete.”

The Gloves come offThe second presidential debate was expected to pack big punches.

BY MADISON MILANOSta! Writer

! e second presidential debate was expected to pack big punches. And it did not disappoint. As after the " rst debate Mitt Romney was hailed as the winner, President Obama needed to work harder to get the ball in his court. What the American public saw for this second debate was a con" dent, funny, charismatic Obama, the one that was lacking for the " rst round. He was more open to challenging his opponent, but Romney was ready to " re right back. A good amount of the debate focused on the economy, a success for Romney in the " rst round and a weakness for Obama, but Obama was more forceful to defend his four years, and ask for four more. Mitt Romney came in just as strong, but failed to present certain speci" cs.

While both candidates sold their plans, they also didn’t hold back from attacking the other. Romney harassed how the middle class has been treated: “It’s not going to be like the last four years. ! e middle-class has been crushed over the last four years, and jobs have been too scarce.” And Obama came back to question his opponent’s tax deduction plan: “And Governor Romney’s says he’s got a " ve-point plan? Governor Romney doesn’t have a " ve-point plan. He has a one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a di# erent set of rules.” Romney also brought up the attacks in Libya and how the President didn’t label it what it was. ! is seemed to provoke the President as he responded: “! e suggestion that anybody on my team, whether it’s a secretary of state, our U.N. ambassador, anybody on my team, would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, Governor, is o# ensive...”

HEAD-TO-HEAD:Mitt vs. Barack

President Obama and Mitt Romney went head to head in one of the most intense and heated Presidential debates in history. From the start of the debate, one could feel the tension in the air that was missing from the last presidential debate where Obama appeared more submissive.

Obama, knowing he under-performed last time around, knew he had to step it up this time and that he did. Although Obama performed at an incomparably higher level then last time around, Romney showed his consistency by showing up with the same energetic and interrupting attitude as the previous debate.

Interruption although perceived as rude and a negative was projected by some as a compliment towards Romney’s bold and relentless personality. If he is as relentless leading this country as he is during the presidential debates, maybe the 23 million Americans without jobs have a hope.

Romney who plans on going after China for economic cheating is complimented by a quote from Paul Ryan who says, “48 percent of our debt is owned by foreign governments, China number one.” If America is going to get out of the ! nancial debt we are currently in, more jobs need to be generated. If China still remains such a ! nancial big-shot in this country China will be the ones producing the jobs, but in their country.

Obama stated,”I believe in self reliance and risk takers being reworded.” Taking risks is a good thing at times. " at being said a calculated risk is a lot di# erent than an irresponsible one. Many people in America voted for change and although one presidential term may not be enough to show the change Obama vowed to project in this country many people hoped for more than what has become.

One of Romney’s points to what seemed to be targeted towards women voters was a statistic revealing almost 580,000 more women are unemployed than when Obama took o$ ce. When the facts were checked it was revealed to be a large exaggeration considering the real number which is 93,000.

Was this just a desperate plea to gain an edge with women voters? More than likely yes because of the false information given. " at being said, there is still an increase in women who are unemployed. Maybe four years isn’t enough to turn the country around, but could more progress have been made is the real question.

With the election coming up very soon it is essential people do the research they need to in order to select the right candidate come election day. Although both candidates o# er

strong arguments, it’s interesting to hear them talk about making America economically independent when they both have investments in countries like China.

During a talk about Obama Care, Romney made the argument about how it prevents job growth. Romney talked about when he asked employers about Obama Care they largely said it prevented them from hiring people.

Another statement made by Romney was that in Massachusetts 98 percent of adults were covered by medicare while all children were covered. Obviously comparing the progress of state to country is unreliable, it shows Romney has the potential to do what is needed to make America a better place to live in. Obama said “change has come,” when he was elected president for his ! rst term. A this point, our country is ready for change to come again, and Mitt Romney may be the change we need.

Romney’s business record is % awless. When it comes to the economy he really knows what he is talking about. " e nation is 16 trillion dollars in debt and Romney states the math is obvious, “if Obama gets elected again the debt will go up to 20 trillion.” Going further in debt doesn’t seem like the way out, especially if America wants to become an economical super power again.

Fast facts on the debate

1. President Obama and Governor Romney both have investments in

countries like China.

2. 12.1 million Americans are unemployed.

Presidential debate?More like gladiator arena.

If you for one second thought that President Obama and Governor Romney should have been wearing boxing gloves at last Tuesday’s debate,

you are not the only one. " e two candidates went head to head and nose to nose against each other on extremely heated topics, but can it be said that their demeanor during the debate and campaigning process will be re% ective of how the will be in o$ ce?

If you watched the debate, it was hard to ignore the two candidates repeatedly interrupting each other and the moderator. " e town hall style of debate, which allowed the candidates to walk around instead of being stuck behind a podium, felt more like a gladiator arena. " e point was to engage them more with the audience, but it helped exposed the true colors of each man.

Romney’s demeanor from the very beginning was con! dent, maybe a little too con! dent. Surely he knew that he did well in the previous debate and expected this one to follow suit. He certainly was not expecting the much more prepared and con! dent Obama that showed up.

Obama came out ! ghting, probably to make up for his lackluster performance on Oct. 9, and he did not disappoint. He was well-spoken, very informative and even a little bit sassy at times.

Each candidate had times where they directly called

out the other on something they believe in or have said. " is typically happens and leads to a rebuttal but Governor Romney and President Obama took each personal blow to heart and interrupted as soon as an

accusation was made. " is made debate moderator Candy Crowley’s job extremely di$ cult. She had to keep track of who was supposed to be speaking, and be assertive enough to cut o# two of the most powerful men in the nation. An intimidating position to say the least, Crowley handled it by almost bargaining with the candidates. “I understand the stakes here,” Crowley said, “but I will get run out of town if I don’t [move along.]”

If these two candidates cannot answer questions without arguing over who gets to talk ! rst or get the last word in, how will they handle being president? We have seen from Obama that his style at debates is polite and

sincere and he is only aggressive when provoked by false accusations or alleged lies from the opposition. He was ultimately very engaged with the audience and showed genuine concern about moving the debate along instead of indulging further in petty banter with Governor Romney. “I just want to make sure that all of these wonderful folks are going to have a chance to get some of their questions answered,” President Obama said.

Governor Romney, on the other hand, played the role of the instigator very often in regards to stepping in when Obama was talking and questioning the moderator, as well as completely ignoring her when she asked to move on. However when it came to him being the one interrupted, he was unpleasant and almost sel! sh. “Mr. President, I’m still speaking…Mr. President, let me ! nish…I’ve gotta continue.” Romney said in succession, to Obama attempting to step in. Also, many times when Obama had the % oor and he was waiting not-so-patiently to rebut, his looming presence behind him was ominous and quite startling to say the least.

Personally, I have not yet decided where my vote will land on Nov. 6th, but the debates have opened my eyes to more than just the issues at hand. We have two very di# erent men before us, each with both good and bad qualities of position and lifestyle and personality. " e sides that we see during campaigning are certainly not what we will see when someone takes o$ ce. " e question is, which one will hold truer to themselves and their promises? Hopefully America knows the answer

" e second presidential debate was expected to pack big punches. And it did not disappoint. As after the ! rst debate Mitt Romney was hailed as the winner, President Obama needed to work harder to get the ball in his court. What the American public saw for this second debate was a con! dent, funny, charismatic Obama, the one that was lacking for the ! rst round. He was more open to challenging his opponent, but Romney was ready to ! re right back. A good amount of the debate focused on the economy, a success for Romney in the ! rst round and a weakness for Obama, but Obama was more forceful to defend his four years, and ask for four more. Mitt Romney came in just as strong, but failed to present certain speci! cs.

While both candidates sold their plans, they also didn’t hold back from attacking the other. Romney harassed how the middle class has been treated: “It’s not going to be like the last four years. " e middle-class has been crushed over the last four years, and jobs have been too scarce.” And Obama came back to question his opponent’s tax deduction plan: “And Governor Romney’s says he’s got a ! ve-point plan? Governor Romney doesn’t have a ! ve-point plan. He has a one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a di# erent set of rules.” Romney also brought up the attacks in Libya and how the President didn’t label it what it was. " is seemed to provoke the President as he responded: “" e suggestion that anybody on my team, whether it’s a secretary of state, our U.N. ambassador, anybody on my team, would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, Governor, is o# ensive...”

THURSDAY OCTOBER 25, 20128 | THE LOQUITUR.COM FeaturesHealth tips for the winter & fall seasons Debra Casey takes on the world

Make healthier choices with a busy schedule

1. A typical drink at Starbucks can have between 200-400 calories, some even more. Instead of getting a regular vanilla latte, get a skinny vanilla latte. For a tall, it is only 90 calories. ! is will save you 110.

2. Love cheeseburgers? Instead of eating a Burger King Whopper, which has 760 calories and 47 grams of fat, eat a McDonald’s Big Mac! ! is cheeseburger only has 540 calories and you can still enjoy a cheeseburger!

3. Are you a pizza lover? Indulge in two slices of Domino’s pizza with thin crust. With only 360 calories, this is much better than three slices of Pizza Hut pizza, which has 560 calories.

4. When eating in Cavs’ Corner, it can be hard to stay healthy. Instead of soda, drink water or tea. It can save you between 100-200 calories and you will lower your sugar intake at the same time!

5. We all love carbs, but eating white bread, bagels or mu" ns made with white # our has low nutri-tional value. Try whole wheat or multi-grain bread instead! It won’t save you calories, but it will give you essential nutrients to get you through your day!

Try to get enough sleep - it decreases your chance of getting sick.

Exercise! Just because it’s starting to get cold out doesn’t mean you have to stop exercising! ! e Dixon Center is full of classes that are FREE and the track is always open!

Layering is your friend! You don’t just need to layer to go in the snow - it can be fashionable, too!

Common cold! ! e key to get over the com-mon cold is to drink a lot of liquids such as tea and water. Take or eat something with a lot of Vitamin C such as orange juice. To $ ght a cold your body takes 2,000mg of Vitamin C a day, so drink up!

No one likes getting the # u. Whenever you shake someone’s hand, wash yours and get your shots. ! e local minute clinic at Walgreen’s or CVS is always helpful.

Stay positive. Seasonal depression can set in during these chillier months and because it gets darker earlier, we tend to feel more depressed without the sunlight.

Create a routine to relieve stress dur-ing midterm and $ nal times. Try to put limits on how long you’re working and give yourself a break if you feel like you need it.

Between Halloween and ! anksgiving coming up, be sure to keep food to the right portion size.

Seasonal vegetables always seem to be better in the sum-mer but they’re not so bad in the fall and winter either! Learn to eat your brussels sprouts because they are a great veggie and are very plentiful in the chillier months.

Keeping your immune system strong in the chilly months can prevent simple everyday colds from ruining your fall and winter.

Ever wonder what kind of drive it takes to go for a Ph.D.? Besides the will to succeed, the new assistant professor of business and coordinator of the human resources degree program had some other insight about what gave her the drive.

“By the time I left the practice of law, I had begun to specialize in labor and employment law,” Dr. Debra Casey said. “I like that area very much - largely because it is immediately comprehensible to everyone. Everyone works! Or has worked. Or will work.”

Casey talks about wanting to make a di& erence in the larger work world.

“Something I thought I could do better with a Ph.D. than as a practicing lawyer,” Casey said. With a goal of improving the work world, one can start to understand the person behind the professional.

Coming o& very modest, when asked what makes her unique, Casey admits we are all unique.

“I am unique because we are each unique ... and that is why it is always so exciting to $ nd even simple common-alities with each other,” Casey said.

Before teaching and being a lawyer, Casey held a few other jobs.

“I’ve worked since I was 14 - fast food, retail, temporary o" ce help, IBM data programmer, lifeguard, bartender, server ... oh, my,” Casey said.

Autumn has come with wind and gold...golden leaves and pumpkins, that is. Pumpkins are a hot com-modity come October of every year. Besides being strictly decorative, pumpkins can be used for a variety of things. !is year, when gutting your pumpkin to carve your "rst jack-o-lantern of the season, be careful to save the insides to use the whole pumpkin in a few delicious ways.

Flesh

When scooping out your pumpkin, save the #esh for a pumpkin puree that can be used to make a home-made pumpkin pie. Although di$cult, if you can manage to carve out large pieces of pumpkin #esh, cut into large chunks, and bake in the oven with a little olive oil and seasonings.

Seeds

Be sure to grab the seeds by the handful, and throw them into a strainer for a quick rinse. Sprinkle the seeds onto a baking sheet, add olive oil and a dash of salt. Bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes and enjoy your new snack.

Leftovers

For the bits and pieces that don’t get used, you can add these to your compost to make a rich new soil your garden will love.

“My students, my colleagues, my family ... whenever I

am feeling unmotivated or low energy, I can always count on somebody to say or do something that reminds me of why I got out of bed in the morning,” Casey said.

Casey went to Lebanon Valley College which she com-mented was a lot smaller when she went there than it is now. At LVC she became a supporter of small classes and a liberal arts education. While at LVC, Casey was a biology and psychology double major.

“Can you believe I lived in an all-girl dorm on a “dry campus” that permitted no alcohol? And it was awe-some.” Some may "nd that hard to believe but coming from a person like Casey, anything is possible.

Talking about the reason she came to Cabrini, Casey said, ”!e reason - the one reason - I came to Cabrini was the social justice mission. ‘Do something extraordinary.’ I’m hooked - if I’m going to work hard and leave my nice cozy bed, I might as well do something extraordinary! Or at least try ... and Cabrini is a very special place where

everyone can contribute, with others, to bettering the world.”

Although she is just getting settled here, Casey com-mented about how nice everyone was and how welcome she feels here. “I’m still super new, and have a lot to learn and a lot of adjusting to do. However, this is one special place,” Casey said.

A special place indeed, and although Casey has led many di&erent paths in life she "ts in perfect right here.

For fellow Swifties like myself, we’ve been counting down the days until Taylor Swift’s new album came out. Well, my friends, the day has " nally arrived. Swift’s new album came out this past Monday, Oct. 22.

After Swift’s " rst release, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” which is apparently written about Jake Gyllenhaal I have to say, I was disappointed. After spend-ing months and months looking forward to Swift’s new album, I thought this pop-like complaint of a song was annoying. But needless to say, after listening to the song numerous times and the fact that I absolutely adore Taylor Swift, the song grew on me; and now it’s stuck in my head all the time. My only complaint: this song will never ever be a country song.

What seems evident is that Swift is traveling further and further away from her country roots and almost exclusively crossing over to pop. ! e songs that Swift released earlier on “Red,” “I Knew You Were Trouble,” “Begin Again” and “State of Grace” are an idea of what the entire album is like: very di# erent from her past three albums.

“Red,” the title song of the album, sounds like a typical Swift song: all about being in love and telling the story of one of her notorious ex-boyfriends. Needless to say, I love this song.

“Begin Again” is a slow type song that tells a typical Swift story about how she felt like she wouldn’t " nd love again and then through speci" c details she sings about how because of some guy, she believes in love again. Again, typical Swift here.

! e most surprising song so far is undoubtedly “I Knew You Were Trouble.” ! e latter song is suppos-edly another song written about John Mayer the " rst, of course, being “Dear John.” ! is song starts o# sounding just like another pop Swift song and then once the chorus comes, it sounds like a dubstep party. Although extremely di# erent from what Swift fans are used to, it’s catchy as anything and still became one of the top selling songs on iTunes.

! e day Swift’s album came out, she held four of the spots on the iTunes top 10 singles, and was the number one album. What this says is that Swift fans have been patiently waiting for this new CD to come out.

So far, it seems as if only one song on the album could be titled “country.” “Stay Stay Stay” is another typical love

song about how much she loves whichever boyfriend she was with at the time. While I don’t think this song is the best on the album, I like hearing Swift go back to her country roots.

After hearing these songs, I don’t have a solid opinion on her album yet. After “Fearless” came out, I didn’t think another album could top it. And then “Speak Now” came out. Now I’m hoping that “Red” surprises and impresses me as much as “Speak Now” did, but if it doesn’t, does it really matter?

Not really.Swift has such a devoted following and it is only get-

ting bigger. So no matter what, her album will become number one, she’ll sell millions and she’ll most likely get a handful more of awards to go along with it. I know I’m one of the people who bought the album the day it came out and plan on singing every song until I know all the words – I’m not ashamed. So don’t worry fellow Swift lov-ers, “Red” will keep you singing until album number " ve comes out.

Most American horror # lms these days go for the cheap, jump-in-your-seat scares, leaving viewers frightened in the moment but able to sleep that night without much trouble. ! ey usually start with interesting plotlines that lead to laughable, cop-out endings or gore for the sake of visual e" ects. ! e # lm “Sinister,” does not fall into the category of cheap thrills and unnecessary gore but rather delves into a more disturbing area of storytelling with actual character building and drama.

Generally, the horror genre likes to ease viewers into the story with a slow beginning, building the background and allowing us to get to know the characters before picking them o" and splattering blood. ! e same cannot be said for “Sinister.” ! e # lm opens with an uncomfortable found-footage shot of a family being hung in their backyard, struggling to be released before slowly and torturously dying. Don’t worry, nothing has been given away.

Ethan Hawke plays Ellison Oswalt, a true-crime writer with one big best-seller

and several % ops to his name. ! roughout the movie, Hawke, wearing a cardigan that strips him of all of his badass past, slowly unravels in a Jack Torrence-like manner. After moving his family into the home of the family previously mentioned, he begins to investigate where the missing Stephanie is. A box of “home movies” found in the attic # lled with gruesome, uncomfortable images actually enrich the movie’s plotline, moving the story forward with each suspense-ridden scene.

Creepy music accompanied by Super 8 # lm footage, a supernatural explanation to “the Boogie Man,” and camera angles and use of imagery separate “Sinister,” from the rest of your typical horror movies. Director Scott Derrickson seems to understand how to create fear with the right amount of jump-worthy bangs and actual fear-inducing mystery, suggestion, and unsettling discoveries.

Although cliché at moments, such as nighttime noises, % ashlight lighting, shadows and the unknown, this # lm gives us something that has been long lost in horror: characters. Ellison’s wife, Tracy (Juliet Rylance) portrays a torn wife and

mother, unsure of whether her decision to stand behind her husband is right for her children Ashley (Clare Foley) and Trevor (Michael Hall D’Addario). ! e new use of found footage creates a nice connection to Ellison because we get to learn with him instead of watching from the outside. We feel his horror and disgust and experience his spiraling sense of reality.

As someone who utilizes Net% ix for its wide array of strange foreign and indie horror # lms, I was pleasantly surprised and terri# ed by “Sinister.” ! ere were moments I actually thought I would not be able to take watching one more scene and my fellow movie-goers left with a few bruised knuckles. I’m not the only one though. According to an experiment done in the UK where scientists tested an audience with a Q sensor, heart rates peaked at 177 bpm above the normal heart rate. ! is heart rate rivals those taken when on some of the world’s fastest roller coasters.

If you’re looking for a # lm to keep you scared through the Halloween season, “Sinister,” is your best bet.

As long as senior biology major Alex Tralie can remem-ber, she has been on the soccer !eld. "e New Jersey native started playing at the young age of three years old.

“I just wanted to play with my two older cousins at the sport,” Tralie said.

By starting in club soccer, Tralie continued to work her way playing through high school to her current stage here at Cabrini holding the position of a forward.

Outside of soccer Tralie is your average college student whose main focus on her studies and staying on top of her major. "is biology major is focusing on a career in Pharmaceuticals. But overall Tralie has by far enjoyed her experience here at Cabrini.

“My favorite memory here at Cabrini College was my during my freshman year,” Tralie said. “At the CSAC Championship when the fall sports teams played at Immaculata University for Fall Sports Festival and all Cabrini teams won walking away with the championship, I will always remember that moment.”

Tralie was an instant success at Cabrini. In her fresh-man season, she scored three goals and added one assist for a total of seven points in 18 games.

In her sophomore season in 2010, she posted career highs in goals, assists and points. She scored seven goals and added three assists for a total of 17 points in 19 games.

In her junior year, Tralie played in a career high 21

games in helping the Lady Cavs win the CSAC title. She scored four goals and added one assist for a total of nine points.

To this point in her seniot season, Tralie has one goal on the season for two points. She has played in 12 of the Cavaliers 15 games this season.

After attending a small high school, Tralie was drawn to Cabrini’s small size and how close the distance from home it was for her.

“After staying at the campus for an overnight visit, I knew this was the college for me,” Tralie said.

Currently the Lady Cavs sit in a tie for second in the CSAC standings with one regular season game remain-ing before the playo#s begin. With the Cavs out to defend their title, a perfect end to Tralie’s career would be a suc-cessful defense of the CSAC title.

If the Cavaliers are able to win another CSAC title, it would be the third that Tralie helped win. "e Lady Cavs also won a CSAC title in 2009 in addition to last year.

After graduating from Cabrini this year, Tralie wants to put her major to good use and start a career by getting a job with a pharmaceutical company. But she would also like to continue to keep soccer in her life by coaching.

“I would love to try and coach, even if it was with little kids,” Tralie said. “Going back to my old high school and being an assistant coach has always been in my plans.”

Seniors help Cavs roll past Baptist BibleBY SE’QUIA BAILEYSta! Writer

Cabrini men’s soccer team swept the !eld in a 6-0 win over Baptist Bible College on Saturday, Oct. 20. #ere were about 80 spectators cheering on Cabrini and their seniors at this year’s Senior Day.

#is marked the last home game for senior Mike Gee, Anthony Girolamo, Kyle Johnson, Ryan Juhring and Pat Wehring. Many of them found a way to make it memorable.

Gee started in goal for the !rst time this season, and notched a shutout. He did not face any shots on goal in the contest.

For much of the !rst half, it wasn’t the senior !nding the back of the net. Instead, they helped set up their teammates for goals. Wehring assisted on the !rst goal of the game in the seventh minute, the sixth goal of the season for George Lambritsios.

In the 14th minute, Junior C.J. Doherty scored his !rst goal of the season with the assist going to junior Brett Lockbaum. Just nine minutes later, in the 23rd minute, Lockbaum tallied a goal of his own, his sixth of the season, from Rey Jimenez.

Johnson would assist on a

!rst-half goal as well, setting up Gabe Kuhn for his !rst goal of the season in the 32nd minute.

Finally, in the 40th minute, a senior tallied a goal. Juhring scored his third goal of the season o" a free kick. #at capped the scoring for the !rst half with the Cavs leading 5-0.

#e Cavs focused on running out the clock in the second half. But they did manage to get another senior on the scoresheet with a goal in the half. Wehring scored his second goal in as many games o" an assist from freshman Boomer Steigelman to cap the scoring in the game.

#is was the Cavs’ fourth straight win in their current winning streak. It improved their record at 8-7-2 overall and 5-2-1 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference. #ey sit in fourth place in the CSAC standings with one game remaining in their season.

It was a bittersweet say for the seniors. #ey currently can’t be guaranteed a playo" home game. In what could have been their !nal game at Edith Robb Dixon Field, the Cavs dominated the !eld. Totaling the career of the senior group, they have led the Cavaliers to 41 wins, including one CSAC Championship, and together

have scored 69 points on 19 goals and 31 assists.

#e men on a mission have one more chance to claim victory before the playo"s. #ey travel to face Marywood on Wednesday, Oct. 24, in Scranton, Pa. at 7 p.m.

#e CSAC quarter!nals are

scheduled to begin on Monday, Oct. 29. If the Cavaliers !nish fourth place or better in the regular season, they will host a playo" game that day.

NHLPA betrayed the fans

From last Tuesday after-noon to last !ursday after-noon, it looked like all of the problems for hockey fans were over.

!en, just like that – just like in 2004 – it was taken away.

Hockey fans in the United States haven’t had it easy try-ing to track their favorite play-ers when they are playing in 15 di"erent locations at one time. !ere are players in Russia, players in Germany, NHLers in the minor leagues.

Last week, the NHL union made an o"er to the players that appeared to be the com-mon ground needed to strike a deal. 50/50 split of hockey-related revenue seemed to be that common ground.

Quickly, the players found fault with it. !ey claimed they wouldn’t be getting their fair share because it would techni-cally be a 56-57 percent share for the owners.

The NHLPA made four counter-offers. All were declined.

!e lockout is still alive and well much to the dismay of hockey fans. !e entire October portion of the sched-ule has been cancelled. Unless the two sides, both of which have no plans for future dis-cussions at this time, come to terms by the end of the week, the 82-game season will o#-cially be lost. At best, the NHL could still play a shortened season.

In all of this, the players lied to the fans.

!ey said they wanted to get back on the ice as soon as possible. !ey said they felt the pain of the fans. So in their most recent negotiations, they thought of themselves before they thought of the fans and the good of the game.

!ey had the union and commissioner Gary Bettman on their knees, essentially beg-ging to return for an entire season. After all the darkness has been turned to the mon-ey-hungry owners and all the sympathy went to the players, the tables have turned. !e players sank to a low level by not taking the o"er.

Now, it appears the hockey season will be delayed until at least New Year’s 2013. Perhaps it lasts even longer than that. At this point, who knows if the puck hits the ice at all this sea-son.

With the playo"s in sight, the Cabrini women’s soccer team took the !eld at Cabrini against Centenary College on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and took home a win by a score of 1-0.

#e Lady Cavs came on the !eld with determination and had one thing in mind: winning. #e Cyclones were two places behind Cabrini in the CSAC standings. #e Lady Cavs needed a vic-tory tonight in order to secure a better seed in this year’s playo"s.

#e game was a battle between two tough defenses that were creating prob-lems for o"enses trying to !nd the goal.

However, in the !rst half at the 29-minute mark, the Lady Cavs were able to score from a goal by freshman Kerri Hinkelmon.

#e shot de$ected o" the hands of Centenary goalkeeper Megan Williams and into the net. It was Hinkelmon’s !rst collegiate goal.

“When I shot it, the goalie had it,” Hinkelmon said. “#en my teammates screamed my name, ‘Kerri, it went in!’”

#e excitement was felt throughout the bleachers as the Lady Cavs went into halftime leading the Centenary College Cyclones.

As the second half started, both teams returned with similar styles of play. #e whole night, the Lady Cavs were able to keep pressure on the defense and had a few chances to advance the lead but couldn’t seem to take advantage.

#e Lady Cavs were determined to come out and win this game tonight because it was important in their future playo" bid. #e famous quote of “defense wins championships” was in full e"ect in tonight’s action as the Lady Cavs put a stop to any momentum the Cyclones were gaining.

“We were pretty excited that we were holding them,” senior Morgan Hudson, said.

As the time ticked down, the Lady Cavs lone goal was enough to hold o" the Cyclones.

“Being that this win was crucial for a bye in the playo"s, we all played with great heart,” senior Dana Drake said. “Going into the game, I knew it was going to be challenging and competi-tive. We knew as a team we needed to play on the same page with high inten-sity.”

#e Lady Cavs proved that tonight they are going to be a serious team in this year’s playo"s as they prepare to defend last year’s CSAC title.

“I think tonight we had a lot of heart and that’s what won it for us,” assistant coach Molly Chenot said.

Just because the Lady Cavs are in the playo"s after this win doesn’t mean the last game against Cedar Crest College will be taken lightly. With a win against Cedar Crest, the Lady Cavs will secure a !rst-round bye and automatically host a semi!nal game.

“In order to get a bye in the playo"s and host a game, we need to come out with a win over Cedar Crest,” Drake said.

#e Lady Cavs’ quest to return to the CSAC semi!nal will be on Saturday, Oct. 27, against Cedar Crest College. Kicko" is set for 12 p.m.
