Professor studies happiness of Swazi children

Big change made to study abroad program

BY ABIGAIL KEEFEStaff Writer

Dr. Darryl Mace, associate professor and chair of history and political science at Cabrini College, takes us back to 1955 in his recently published book, “In Remembrance of Emmett Till: Regional Stories and Media Response to the Black Freedom Struggle.” The story of Emmett Till initially took place in Mississippi when racism was strong in the 1950s. Young Till was lynched at the age of 14 when two white men who too were on trial had been set free from charges in a court room with all white jurors.

“What I did was an analysis of newspapers from about a hun-dred or a little over a hundred newspapers and magazines from across the country and looked to see the similarities and differenc-es of the lynching and the trial of

his murder,” Mace said.The media plays a very im-

portant role in his new book. The time period in which Emmett Till was charged in court led to many different views on the case from opposing sources.

“It actually really involves the media. It’s an intersection of his-tory and media studies,” Mace said.

Mace’s publishing process was altogether successful. He accom-plished his goal of being pub-lished by a university press as he had hoped.

“You send out proposals to different presses and I was real-ly pushing for it to be published by the university press so I sent it to several university presses and the university press of Kentucky picked it up,” said Mace.

Although there was a specific date for Mace’s book to be pub-lished, it came out a little earlier

than expected. This worked to Mace’s advantage with many cur-rent opportunities for interviews and events.

“The official release date was supposed to be July 11, 2014 but copies were floating around pre-viously so it was really the end of June that it came out,” Mace said.

Mace is also currently re-searching and working on his next book. He hopes to have his second book published within the next three years.

“I am actually working on an analysis of the integration of Gi-rard College, which is a school in Philadelphia originally for father-less boys and they since integrat-ed it by sex and also integrated it by race but it was a huge fight be-cause Stephen Girard, the found-er of the college, in his will said that it had to be for all white boys so it was a huge battle,” Mace said.

Mace has proposals for more interviews as well as speaking en-gagements in libraries and other public areas in the near future about his newly released book. He plans to keep the memory of Emmett Till’s life and story alive.

“It is a book about Emmett Till and how we remember things so it’s not a getting at one truth that lynching indicates,” Mace said. “It’s a really important event about looking at how people re-member Emmett Till.”

A big change has recently started in the study abroad pro-gram. Effective this semester, the financial aspect of the program is making studying abroad more accessible and affordable to stu-dents. The financial aid policy was completely revised prior to this semester.

“Students were not permitted to use any of their Cabrini schol-arships and grants towards study abroad,” associate professor of romance languages and study abroad coordinator, Dr. Nick Uliano said. “Now a limited num-ber of students each semester may receive half of their Cabrini aid and scholarship money to ap-ply towards their tuition abroad, which makes a big difference in affordability for many of our stu-dents.”

The financial changes will also have an effect upon the affiliate schools in England, Australia and Italy. Prior to this year, students studying at those schools had to pay Cabrini’s tuition, despite studying at those institutions.

“Now students who study at those institutions will actually be paying their tuition, which in every case is less expensive than ours,” Uliano said. “It’s a double win-win for the students.”

Three different types are se-mester-long programs, summer programs and short-term study abroad.

“We have students right now

on “Semester at Sea” who have benefited from the new policy,” Uliano said.

St. Mary’s University, locat-ed in Twickenham, London, England will now cost students $8,365 in tuition and $5,522 in housing. At The American Uni-versity of Rome, Italy tuition will now be $10,308 for housing $5,223, while The University of Notre Dame Australia cost to stu-dents will be $13,043 in tuition and $3,882 in housing. The tui-tion costs at each respective uni-versity do not include the Cabrini financial aid assistance that is now available. All-inclusive trips include Semester at Sea ($23,950) and the six-week program at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland ($5,995).

These changes did not have anything to do, however, with Cabrini’s drop in tuition last year or the International Studies and Foreign Language grant that was also received last year. The pur-pose of the grant was to create new study abroad short-term courses. This newly implemented change comes from committed funding from the college.

“The college is deeply invested in making global opportunities available for our students,” Ulia-no said. “Students who may not have previously been able to af-ford a semester abroad can now find the price much more within their reach.”

Children look up to their parents, family members or someone they are living with for guidance, love, help, trust and compassion. When there are some of those key elements missing, that’s when the real problems begin.

According to DomesticViolence.org, “Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence an-nually.”

Adrian Peterson, a six-time Pro Bowl selec-tion, has rushed for 10,190 yards and scored 86 touchdowns in eight seasons and a two-time National Football League (NFL) rushing champion. Over the weekend Peterson was arrested on charges of child abuse and then released on bail.

In May, Peterson was accused of beating his four-year-old son with a tree branch caus-ing cuts and bruises in several areas on the boy’s body, including his back, ankles and legs. Peterson told the police that the punish-ment was a “whooping” administered after the boy pushed another of Peterson’s chil-dren.

According to DomesticViolence.org, men who as children witnessed their parents’ do-mestic violence were twice as likely to abuse their own wives. And nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if

presented with a breakup.We don’t know the circumstances of Peter-

son’s childhood, but we do know that expe-riencing violence increases the likelihood of violence in the next generation.

According to DomesticViolence.org, “Do-mestic violence victims lose nearly 8 million days of paid work per year in the US alone—the equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs.”

In our society today it is unacceptable for a male to hit a female, though is still just as wrong for a female to hit a male. It should not matter whether it was a male or a female, it should matter that it happened regardless.

Ray Rice is currently the epitome of female vs. male altercations. Rice a man we all know from the news because he physically hit his fiancée, Janay Palmer, so hard in the face that she laid unconscious.

In the video that just a week ago surfaced, it shows her coming towards Rice, then hit-ting him and almost instantaneously Rice hit

her back, causing her to fall to the ground in an elevator in February earlier this year. At no point does he seem concerned, worried or slightly disgusted by what he did and now, only seven months after the incident, Janay Palmer and Ray Rice are married.

According to the National Intimate Part-ner and Sexual Violence Survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “more than 1 in 3 women (35.6%)… in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate part-ner in their lifetime.”

Palmer may disagree that Rice’s actions went too far or were inappropriate, but since the video has been released, all of America seems to be enraged with his actions. He ab-solutely should have been expelled from the NFL as soon as they found out about it be-cause this was not just his first offense, in fact, it was his third.

But that doesn’t mean to say that all ath-letes abuse their wives, fiancés, girlfriends or children, the media is doing a really great job of making examples out of Rice and Peterson.

In both cases, it is obviously despicable what transpired and unless your life is being threatened, violence is never the answer.

ISIS: Sept. 10, 2014

On Wednesday, Sept. 10, President Obama spoke to the nation from the State Floor of the White House. This speech authorized a major expansion of the military campaign against rampaging Sun-ni militants in the Middle East, including American airstrikes in Syria and the deployment of 475 more military troops and advisers to Iraq. Ac-cording to New York Times, Mr. Obama said the United States was recruiting a global coalition to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the militants, known as the Islamic State in Iraq (ISIS) and Syria. He warned that “eradicating a cancer” like ISIS was a long-term chal-lenge that needs to be addressed.

Ebola: Sept. 16, 2014

Mr. Obama is offering help to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia in the con-struction of as many as 17 Eb-ola treatment centers in the region, with about 1,700 treat-ment beds.

The Department of De-fense and in Monrovia, Libe-ria are contemplating opening a joint operation to coordi-nate the international effort to combat the disease. The military will also provide en-gineers to help construct the additional treatment facilities and will send enough people to train up to 500 health care workers a week to deal with the crisis.

Bruce Aylward, an assistant director general of the World Health Organization, said Tuesday, the number of reported cases had climbed to 4,985, including 2,461 deaths and an estimate the cost of this effort is at $1 billion. Half of the infections and deaths occurred in the past 21 days, Aylward said, underscoring the accel-eration of the outbreak. “We don’t really know where the numbers are going with this.”

Health Care: Sept. 16, 2014

A survey found that 13.1 percent of Americans lacked health in-surance at the time of their interview with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this year. In 1997, when the CDC started surveying on this issue, 15.4 percent of those surveyed said they did not have coverage.

According to Vox.com, this is a direct reflection of Obamacare. “The CDC saw a 1.3 percentage point drop drop in the uninsured rate between 2013 and 2014. The uninsured rate for kids has fallen from 13.9 percent in 1997 to 6.6 percent today, a huge decline that pretty much all traces back to the CHIP program expanding coverage.”

Meet Cabrini’s newest faculty and staffDr. Joseph R. Fitzgerald

BY TYRON DAVISStaff Writer

The Cabrini community welcomes Dr. Joseph R. Fitz-gerald as a new faculty mem-ber on campus. Fitzgerald looks forward to helping up-hold Cabrini’s mission by pre-paring students to “become engaged citizens of the world.”

Fitzgerald is an assistant professor in the history and political science department. Before Fitzgerald’s career at Cabrini College, he worked as an exam producer. Fitzgerald is no amateur to the college life as he has experience as a teaching assistant at Temple University. Fitz also taught history and black studies at a local community college.

Fitzgerald has nine years of experience in higher edu-cation and he will be teaching classes such as Black Studies and History courses here at Cabrini. He has a strong back-ground in the studies of the African-American culture. Planning to educate all of those looking to learn about the history and modern cul-ture of the African American society, he strongly encour-ages all to take his classes.

Cabrini has added sever-al new staff members to the college. Rick Stetler, who re-ceived his master’s degree from Cabrini, is now the new Faculty Support Operations Specialist. Before taking on this position Stetler worked in the library as a Serials Circu-lation and Building Manager. He heard that faculty sup-

port needed some help and it was time to “make a change.” Stetler has enjoyed the new position thus far saying that it is more complex.

“I like the exposure to the faculty, constantly interact-ing and meeting great people here,” Stetler said.

He sees himself continuing to work for Cabrini in the fu-ture.

Elizabeth Stauffer was hired this semester as a part-time testing coor-dinator in the Disability Resource Center. Stauffer is a graduate student here at Cabrini. She is study-ing to get her masters in non-profit leadership. Stauffer first heard about the position from her fa-ther who is an electrician on campus. A big reason why Stauffer took the po-sition was her interest in working with the disability population. When asked what she likes most about her position “I really like the people I work with. I felt comfortable here since the beginning.” It was these qualities of Cabrini that Stauffer stated she has not “always experienced in previous jobs.”

Her main goal is to make the Nerney Lead-ership Institute’s Executive Director’s, Maria Vizcar-rando, job easier. Part of the large appeal to Peters applying for the position was the diversity in the position. “I found myself getting very excited when I learned about this posi-tion and I thought at this junction in my life it was just what I needed,” Peters said.

Meet Karen Miscavage from Rossford, PA. She is an instructor in the education department. Miscavage al-ways wanted to be a teacher, dating back to her childhood days playing school with her neighbors. Prior to Cabrini, Miscavage taught at Spring-ford High School as a full-time teacher in a learning support classroom. She was an adjunct at Cabrini for four

years working in the education department with student teach-ers. After teaching in elementa-ry and high school, she figured Cabrini would be the next step. Miscavage attended Cabrini as a graduate student, and fell in love with the campus as soon as she arrived. She first heard of Cabrini as a teacher’s assistant in a third and fourth grade learning sup-port classroom. The head teacher of the class obtained her mas-ter’s degree from Cabrini. She discussed with Miscavage about finishing up with a master’s de-

gree in special education as well. Miscavage gave it a shot. While studying at Cabrini, Miscavage fell in love with the campus and the teachers who motivated and helped spark an interest. “I came from Kutztown where I was a number, not a name. Cabrini made me feel like a name.” When Cabrini had a job opening, Mis-cavage jumped on the opportuni-ty and applied. “I Always thought this would be a really nice place to work.”

“What makes Cabrini unique and different from other colleges is that Cabrini is a better place

for our fellow students and staff members,”Kersey said.

One of the main reasons that Shakeyia joined the Cabrini family was because she saw the opportunities to work her way up and create her own founda-tion. Prior to working for Cabrini, Kersey worked for a non-profit organiza-tion called The Philadel-phia Youth Network. Even though she has enjoyed her time working for the organization she believes that she had a calling to be in higher education. Al-though Shakeyia has only been at Cabrini for three months she does enjoy her time here and would like to remain in the future.

Cabrini College has formed lasting re-lationships with the Cabrini Mission in Swaziland and is making continuous con-tributions that affect the residents of the kingdom.

Dr. Edna Barenbaum, associate profes-sor of psychology, has been conducting a study in Swaziland for the past two years on the mental well-being of children. Re-cently, Barenbaum presented the informa-tion she has gathered at an international conference in Melbourne, Australia.

The children she has been working with are not living in an ordinary situation, however.

According to avert.org, HIV/AIDS is an epidemic that infects roughly 2.5 million people across the world per year and ap-proximately 70 percent of that number can be found in the sub-Saharan portion of Af-rica. Swaziland is located in southern Af-rica and has been noted to being the most populated HIV area in the entire world.

Statistics show that one in four adults that reside in the land-locked country has contracted with the disease and it has tak-en a toll on the physical and mental health of its residents.

The physical effects of AIDS tends to get more attention than the emotional and social impact, and that is something that Barenbaum wants to make a change in.

“I have been looking at the psychoso-cial well-being of children in Africa whose parents or caretakers have been affected by AIDS. About 70 percent of children [in Swaziland] are parentless due to this dis-ease and that is a very high number. Baren-baum said, “AIDS has been addressed medically and they’re solving that problem so that people can live but they’re not look-ing at the social and emotional impact it is having on people.”

Since 2012, Barenbaum has been mak-ing trips to the Cabrini Ministry’s mission in Swaziland on behalf of a partnership formed by former Cabrini president, Dr. Marie George. In conjunction with the mission, Cabrini College and Cabrini Aus-tralia, she along with a few other selected individuals have been conducting a study within the Cabrini organization to learn about the happiness of children affected by AIDS. Their psychological and faith-based backgrounds have guided them to the point they are at today but the data has been collected thanks to a happiness scale that Barenbaum created.

“I have a lot of experience developing standardized tests...so while I was in Swa-ziland I interviewed children who were living on homesteads and on the mission,” Barenbaum said. “I asked them what hap-piness was to them and from their answers was able to develop the scale.”

The system that she created is custom to the children of Swaziland. There have been very few studies done on the relationship between AIDS and emotional well-being and Barenbaum stated that they have been done in China, the United States and Afri-ca. The difficulty with this is that there is not much data to go off of because the populations are so different, and so it is very difficult to compare the results.

The children that she has been an-alyzing are six to 21 years old and are either among the 175 children on the Cabrini mission or the 400 in a home-stead setting. In addition to interviewing children to create her scale, Barenbaum also spoke to caretakers about the same topic. She was intrigued to see if their perception of a child’s happiness level was the same as the child perceived it to be or if they had noticed different be-havior patterns.

“The children in the mission reported to have less depression than the children in

the homesteads,” Barenbaum said.The work that she has been doing has

been considered to be ground-breaking and she presented her study and results thus far at the 20th International AIDS conference.

“I was one of 15,000 delegates at the conference and it lasted from from July 22 through July 26. I presented with the Cabri-ni Mission and Cabrini Australia, which was very exciting,” Barenbaum said. “I also attended the Interfaith Pre-Conference with the Missionary Sisters from Swaziland and Start Early Start Now [which focused on the early stages of childhood and how HIV can play a role in it] before the inter-national conference began.”

Barenbaum got the chance to network with many people in her field and share information that she has been so passion-ate about developing. While AIDS 2014 brought her great insight of what is be-ing done to conquer this disease, tragedy dampened the mood when Malaysian Air-lines flight 17 was shot down.

Although the actual number is un-known, CNN and The Guardian reported that “a number of” the people aboard that

flight were delegates for AIDS 2014 and were on their way to present at the confer-ence.

“It was very sad but Melbourne did a fantastic job. They had a candlelight vigil for the Malaysian flight and they flew their flags at half mast,’ Barenbaum said. “They really did a lot in respect for those individ-uals.”

The time spent in Swaziland and Aus-tralia made an impact on Barenbaum and it has ignited her passion to helping chil-dren affected by AIDS. She is currently back in Swaziland and while there is no set completion date for her study, she is excit-ed to once again share the information she gathered.

“We’re taking each step as we go and have evidence that progress is being made [improving the happiness levels of chil-dren],” Barenbaum said. “My focus has been impacted and we are ready to come together to solve the problems that AIDS has placed upon children.”

Local store owners and families come together to enjoy Bryn Mawr Day

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY EDNA BARENBAUM

BY TYRON DAVISStaff Writer

Local stores participated in the area’s fifth annual Bryn Mawr Day. Bryn Mawr Day is an event that was put together to raise awareness of the smaller stores in the area on Saturday, Sept. 6. It gives the knowledge of stores and historical monuments that are over 100 years old. With King of Prussia mall and online shopping at your fingertips, local store owners worry that people in the area and college students are unaware of the stores that are in their vicinity.

Owner of The Camera Shop in Bryn Mawr, Michelle Bogosian, gave her opinion on why students should be involved in their local community. “While you’re here for four years, while you’re in school, you are part of the community whether you like it or not and you’re representing your school in the community,” Bogosian said. She described the event as a free family-fun day to help bring kids out of the house and interact with

store owners.Owner of John Fish & Son, David Fish, wants to “let the young people know that there

is a vibrant shopping area for them to visit along with the restaurant and local drinking halls.” Fish has always been local and attended Valley Forge Military College growing up then going on to take over his father’s shop with a store that has been standing for over 100 years.

“The petting zoo is sponsored by Ludington Library so the petting zoo is very popular with young children and we also want them to know about the library,” Scott Zelov, a township commissioner, said. “The circus is sponsored by the Bryn Mawr Business Asso-ciation and great for kids and parents.”

Local singers come out to perform music for all ages, including young singer Elise Dodourian as well as Radio Disney of Philadelphia, a petting zoo and a circus act are a few of the events that came out to help with Bryn Mawr Day.

As the local stores set up shop in the parking lot at the intersection of Lancaster and Bryn Mawr Avenue, Saturday morning, local citizens and by-passers come to see what their stores have to offer.

Aside from this yearly event, the local farmer’s market also sets up their shop to the community in this same location every Saturday.

In the beginning of the twenty-first century, college students around the country had limited resources for keeping up to date with news and current events. During this particular time period, it was common for most students to take in their daily dose of news through popular forms of media such as traditional newspapers and magazines. 14 years later, modern college students now live in a digital age where there are more resources available for students to keep up with the happenings of the world.

Surveyed Cabrini College students have indicated that they do not stay up-to-date with current events as much as they think that they should. Most students admitted that they are not entirely sure about this week’s current events. Moreover, there is no real surprise that the majority of college students do not tune into major news programs like ABC’s “World News Tonight.”

Even though this television program is credited towards educating the public on world issues, it is not necessarily a presentation that is appealing to college-aged students. In light of the fact that we are now in a digital age, many students indicated that they would prefer to acquire news and information via the Internet. Undergraduates who

considered themselves to be aware of current events had stated that they obtain their news by means of social network websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Despite this new trend in social media news outlets, there is still a large percentage of well-known network reporters who have yet to fully catch on to these new platforms to communicate current news issues to the public. The main problem with today’s media is that the

news is less appealing to college students. A solution to this problem would be for networks like ABC to better interact with students through methods of communication that are more modern and interactive. In other words, students might be more interested in watching the news if major network anchors had a bigger presence on social media websites.

Additionally, these programs should also take into consideration that college students might not be interested in their programing due to the complex nature that news is reported on these television broadcasts. Therefore, major networks could see an increase in viewership if they reported the news in a way that could easily be comprehended by college students.

Overall, most students do not watch the news simply because that they find it to be rather uninteresting. Now, I realize that some people might say that this is not a very important issue. However, without implementing any

changes to how news is reported most students would not be aware of important world events. World news programs need to come to the realization that students want to be presented news in a brief and simple manner. Ultimately, the best way for news networks to reach students is by keeping pace with the current trends of the Internet.

Whether you’re staying up to binge- watch every single episode of “How I Met Your Mother” or watching all the classic Disney movies, Netflix is your best friend. Starting out in 1997 as a flat-rate DVD subscription, Netflix has been on the rise ever since. Netflix changed over to the world of the Internet in 1999. Offering a $7.99-a-month subscription, people started to grasp onto the Netflix concept and have been loyal customers ever since.

Technology has advanced in the past years causing Netflix to take advantage and expand their company to another level. Although there are other online entertainment subscriptions on the market, Netflix reigns as number one. Not only can you get it on your smart TV, you can also download it as an app on your phone.

The digital subscription is quickly becoming a trend with college students due to the convenience of the app and those low-budget college wallets.

Nowadays, a Comcast starter subscription starts at $49.99 per month and can escalate up to $69.99 depending on  the amount of channels you add. For a busy college student who doesn’t have time to watch all the TV in the world, Netflix seems like a better alternative. Another attraction is the mere fact that there are full seasons of TV shows on Netflix. There is no need to wait a full week for the next episode.

Even late-night talk shows have started to move to the 

Netflix craze. Previously having her own TV show on the E! Network, Chelsea Handler decided to think outside the box and move to the popular platform. She is the first person to have her own talk show on Netflix, but definitely not the last to make the transition.

Netflix appeals to many different crowds because it offers a wide variety of entertainment. When I tune into Netflix, I could end up watching anything from a riveting documentary to a mindless cartoon. The options are endless. Netflix also gives me a chance to explore TV-shows I would normally never have time to watch with a busy schedule. Adding new entertainment daily, Netflix is here to stay.

Tutus, shiny satin shoes, grace and elegance are synonymous with ballet. Ballerinas are seen as lithe dolls that can make a string of pirouettes look effortless.

Misty Copeland, American Ballet Theatre dancer, challenges the status quo with her new  ad for Under Armour.  Copeland spins on the screen donning the sleek Under Armour clothing instead of a flowing tutu. The video opens with Copeland raising her legs in sous-sus, balancing her weight on pointe shoes. Her legs are incredibly muscular and strong.

In the background her voice rings through the stage, reciting a rejection letter. “You have the wrong body for ballet.” The harsh statement is juxtaposed by Copeland performing amazing feats; leaping high in the air, legs extended, spinning in a succession of turns and raising her legs. Copeland is an established soloist ballerina, despite being rejected originally and starting classes at age 13. Ballet is much like the fashion world or the silver screen, there is immense pressure placed on girls to be beautiful and to fit a strict mold. The industries are sparkling and glamorous on the surface yet there is

discrimination, hard work and exhaustion behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes, dancers are pushed to the limits, working tirelessly and dancing in their delicate pointe shoes until their feet are raw and bleeding--not exactly the picture of ballet that many see in the “Nutcracker.” Onstage, everything seems picture-perfect. I was not a little ballerina tottering on the stage at 2-years old. I started at age 10 and was excited to break in my first pointe shoes years later.

Although my level of dance experience at local studio could never rival the ABT, I know the pain of adapting to new shoes. I know the sadness of the once bright pink shoes becoming dull. I know the feeling of forcing a tight smile, floating across the floor in bourrée when your feet are tired and you just want to fall on the floor and take a nap. My last pointe dance was to an aching classical ballet song. Dressed in a sequined gold outfit, I smiled with red-pink lips at every turn. Inside, I was secretly grateful for not falling on the bright wooden stage in front of everyone. Copeland is an inspiration for dancers and girls around the country. She defied odds and challenges, followed her passions, and never took “no” for an answer. Under Armour’s, “I Will What I Want Campaign,” is a powerful message for women everywhere. Copeland is also author. She released her book, “Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina” in March 2014. Copeland is the third African-American soloist in the history of the prestigious ABT. In history ballet originated as an outlet for the aristocracy. Ballet is much more open

to anyone who wants to dance. Yet barriers still need to be broken, both culturally and financially. Also girls need to be inspired to dance and stop being told that they may not measure up. Anything is possible.

Cabrini offers fine arts dance classes in classical ballet and modern for those interested in attending upbeat classes and learning techniques. The Cabrini Dance Team and Cavalier Dance Company are also outlets for dancers. For those who still think that ballet is not athletic, watch Copeland’s commercial. In fact, ballet is even more of an art as dancers must perform strenuous routines while keeping a smile and air of grace-now that’s a sport.

Breaking down ballet barriers—Misty Copeland

Copeland’s new book, a NYT Best Seller

BY JADE MOTTOStaff Writer

The college that I chose to start my future career at is identified as a “suitcase school.” Coming into Cabrini College, I realized it was no Penn State, yet while shadowing the school as a senior in high school, it gave me the feeling of home that no other col-lege or university gave me. Yes, Cabrini College is a very small, private college and with that comes a lot of positive and nega-tive aspects that I have learned throughout my three years here. I believe every freshmen should be aware of a few things about Cabrini before fully committing to being a future Cavalier.

Going into my freshman year, I had many fears that most people have. I was scared about going off to college and not living at home. Fears about not being smart enough for the courses I was assigned, whether I’d like my rommates, making friends, being

able to handle the party scene, dealing with older college boys, having sex, covering costs and just being safe in general.

Starting as a freshman at Cabrini I felt very welcomed by the students and the teachers. I lived on campus my freshman year, just like most students do. Transitioning from having my own master bedroom to sharing a small dorm with two others was very drastic. The dorm life sucks don’t get me wrong, but freshman should not base their decision of leaving just on dorm life. I ended up going home every weekend because the night life at Cabrini bored me. However, looking back now, it was because I never took the time to meet Cabrini kids and give myself a chance to go out with them. I just assumed it would not have been fun because the parties at home and the parties here were com-pletely different.

If you are living on campus at Cabrini, you are always offered a meal plan. As a freshman I was very careful with my eating habits because I did not want to gain the freshman 15. Cabrini’s buf-fet-style cafeteria offers healthy options and varied dining. Jazzman’s Café offers bistro-style meals including fresh-baked goods, salads, sandwiches, soups and coffee. We also have vend-ing machines with healthy snack options and local off-campus res-

taurants.As a freshman, it was very

hard to get off campus due to the fact that we cannot have cars on campus, which I believe is one of the main reasons why students end up leaving after their first year

My sophomore year I still lived on campus, but I signed up to live in one of the houses since they looked so great on Cabrini’s website and I was not a major fan of the dorms. I was very happy with the amount of spaceI was offered and the fact

that there was acess to a kitchen in the house. I appreciated my sophomore year at Cabrini a lot more than my freshman year due to the fact that I had better living space and was able to get around on my own without having to wait for the Cabrini shuttle that is based on a time schedule.

My junior year, I moved off campus into a house right up the

road from Cabrini, and that has been the best decision of my life.

As the years went on at Cabrini, I was able to get past to dorm life and have more freedom handed to me. I learned how to appreciate it more and under-stood why I chose this school. It is a great school. Yes, it is very small, which is why most stu-dents leave after their freshman year or on the weekends, because it does not have the types of frats or sororities that they are look-ing for.

Cabrini is not known for the best parties because of the amount of students here but it gives you more one-on-one help with the professors. You are not known as just a number at Cabrini. The professors value relations with their students. Once you are familiar with the area, gain more freedom, get involved on campus and find your group of friends, you are sure to love it.

Put away your history books, because in Philip Noyce’s adaptation of Lois Lowry’s classic “The Giver,” history is forbidden. In a world where no one knows of color, animals, weather, conflict, pain or even love, there is one who knows of all that was before Sameness: The Giver (Jeff Bridges). The movie follows Jonas "Maleficent”’s Brenton Thwaites, who is no different from any of the other citizens of this ignorant world. However, everything changes when he graduates into adulthood and is given the job of the Receiver of Memories. All the memories of the past are handed down to him—quite literally, as the mode of transit for these memories are through a touch of the hands—from The Giver. The more memories Jonas receives, the more his understanding of the wrongness done

by the Elders grows. He slowly realizes what The Giver realized long ago: Something needs to change.

As Jonas continues his receiving throughout the movie—which starts out in grey scale—we slowly see the color fade in through his eyes. This is a beautiful portrayal of what is described in Lowry’s book. Whenever the Chief Elder, Meryl Streep, steps onscreen, the color quickly disappears and switches back to grey scale, symbolizing the dark power she has over this world. This use of color was a brilliant way to bring this classic children’s book to life.

As in any role he is given, Bridges does a fantastic job playing a seemingly rough yet loveable mentor. Streep took on the “bad guy” role with poise and gave the audience just the right performance to show a character that was not necessarily bad, just antagonistic. Although Thwaites would fit the notion that all you need for a good male lead these days is a teenage heart-throb, he did a good job portraying the innocent, unknowing young man finding his way in a world of missing

pieces. If you’re planning on discussing this movie with a die-hard fan of the book, be prepared to hear complaints of all that wasn’t explained or adapted into the movie. However, the cast and scenery and story fit very well together as a movie standing alone and will certainly make a nice family Friday movie night in the near future.

Queen B helps to give Cabrini an ‘upgrade’BY LILLIAN HURLEYStaff Writer

Cabrini College has received a very prestigious honor. No, it has nothing to do with academics but something even better, Beyoncé. Thanks to the dance team, Cabrini College has been place on the list of The Most Beyoncé Colleges. According to the website, ''Her Campus,'' Cabrini was listed as the sixth most Beyoncé College in the nation. Last year the dance team’s routine was all Beyoncé. Only Beyonce songs like Upgrade U, Single Ladies and Get Me Bodied were used for the routine. They even used some choreography from Beyonce's music videos.

Other colleges that made it on the list are much larger in comparison to Cabrini such as the University of Houston, New York University and Columbia

University to name a few. So now the question is how Cabrini College got spotted for its Beyoncé style.

Dylan Takats, a junior marketing major, who is also a part of the dance team has no idea how all of this came about.

According to Takats, “Our coach was the first one to tell us about making the list. We all have no idea how they found out about our Beyoncé routine.” But having all of this being a surprise just made the dance team even more excited about the honor.

“It is really cool because Cabrini doesn’t get a lot of recognition but they got noticed and it is all because of the dance team,” Takats said.

After getting the sixth spot on The Most Beyoncé Campus list the community service the dance team does is pointed out. Helping out with Special Olympic events

and teaching dance are just some of what the dance team has done. Doing community service is something that the dance team has fun doing. Last year they did more than the required amount for a club on campus. These good deeds are what makes the dance team a reflection of Beyoncé’s image.

“Beyoncé is a nice person at heart; she is really down to earth so we try to stay down to earth,” Takas said.

The dance team is already making sure the Beyoncé spirit is alive and well while they are practicing in the dance studio. Each member of the dance teams has a practice shirt with a Beyoncé song quote on it. In regards to living up to their honor, Takats said, “ We will definitely continuing it, believe me.

Urban outfitters: accident or publicity stunt?differently. "It was highly offensive and I

believe it was totally intentional. They have done something like this before with their "eat less" t-shirt and they are doing the same thing again with this sweatshirt. It is all a publicity stunt and a highly un tasteful one at that." said Victoria Sahina, senior educational studies major.

Urban Outfitters is claiming that the holes that are seen where it seems to have bloodstains on the sweatshirt are from natural wear and fray.

Since there was only one available sweatshirt the buyer of it has since put it on eBay. However, since the posting of the sweatshirt according to Bloomsburg.com eBay has taken the listing off of their website. The seller posted the sweatshirt for $2,500 and pledged to give 50 percent to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Urban outfitters has yet again decided to make waves in the fashion world. However these waves are not good ones. Reports from The Washington post have released that the popular clothing store started selling a sweatshirt with bloodstains on it and had Kent State University printed on it for $129.00.

Kent State University had suffered a shooting in May 1970. Kent State University released a statement on Kent.edu expressing how much offense they take that urban outfitters is making profit from such terrible incident. The website goes on to say that the sweatshirt is bad taste and hurts the Kent State community.

The item has since been taken off the shelves and has been “sold out” online. Since the controversial sweatshirt came out Urban Outfitters has apologized saying to the Washington post saying that it was a discoloration mistake and since then have apologized.

Before the item was “sold out” on the Urban Outfitters website the description under the sweatshirt reads “Washed soft and perfectly broken in, this vintage Kent State sweatshirt is cut in a loose slouchy fit. Excellent vintage condition. We only have one, so get it or regret it!”

Since the item has been taken down people are wondering, was this intentional? Urban Outfitters has apologized since and said it was an accident but others see it

Female rap's newest and most unlikely representative is Iggy Azalea; a sexy, twang-voiced white chick from Australia. A mix somewhere between Gwen Stefani and Crocodile Dundee, Azalea seems to know what it takes to make a hit.

While Azalea may be from the land down under, don't expect her to be rapping about UGG boots, wallabies and Steve Irwin--in fact, don't expect her to be rapping about anything at all. Her delivery is unique and her voice, painfully like no one elses, but her lyrics truly fail to hold much substance.

If you are looking for the storytelling rhymes of Azalea's debut, twerk-ready single, "Work," you will be disappointed with the remaining 14-tracks on her freshmen release. Euro club-ready "Bounce" and her Rita Ora-assisted "Black Widow," lack any true lyrical structure but do hold what it takes to move a room.

The Iggy on her debut album seems like a far cry from the Iggy of the past. Her first three mixtapes were gritty, hyper-sexualized, trap-influenced attempts that helped catapult Azalea to the top of the underground circuit. The contemporary-Iggy has seemed to bend her style enough to garner mass

appeal but not enough to be considered a complete sell-out.

With the negatives out of the way, not all is lost for the Aussie-rapper's record. "Promise to blaze a path and leave a trail for the next," pledges Azalea on "Impossible is Nothing," a track where the hip-hop-newcomer voices support for any upcoming artists, and the album's secret weapon, "Goddess,"

where Azalea's delivery in the second verse proves her raw talent, both showcase what more this album could have been.

Azalea is quick to name Tupac Shakur and Missy Elliott as her greatest inspirations and so far has seemed to capitalize on what she's learned from them. Azalea was enrolled in one of the coveted spots on XXL Magazine's Freshmen List in 2012 and her hit "Fancy," became the undeniable song of summer in 2014, holding the top spot on the Billboard 2oo Chart longer than any other female rap artist in history.

Is Azalea's debut “The New Classic,” a complete contradiction of its name? No, but it is definitely not what it

claims. Yes, Azalea is a rapper, but do not expect her freshmen release to be a rap album. Take it for what it is a solid pop debut.

Here are a few worth mentioning:Marcus Butler, Jim Chapman, Alfie Deyes, Caspar Lee and Joe

Sugg speaking at the 2014 VidCon at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Joe Sugg, 22, has 2.7 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and 1.2 million followers on Twitter. He was catapulted to success by his sister, Zoe Sugg, who started to feature him in her videos. Now, he is very much independent with the content that he creates and has taken a unique perspective on providing laughter and entertainment through YouTube. He claims that he never wants to be considered a celebrity but seems to be equipped to take it all in stride.

Casper Lee, 20, also has an impressive social media following with 3 million subscribers to his YouTube channel and 2 million followers on Twitter. Originally from South Africa, he moved to England later on. He was encouraged by his other YouTuber friends as his channel began gathering steam. He began filming in 2012 at the age of 16. He

is now living in a London flat with his roommate, Joe Sugg. Both boys where recently signed as personalities on BBC Radio 1, so that the radio can stay relevant for the younger generation

Troye Sivan, 19, has been blogging since 2012. He has recently become a pop sensation when he released his EP album, featuring his catchy single Happy Little Pill, which also flaunts a shiny new music video. He has already achieved top numbers on the iTunes global chart when his music had only been out for less than a week. He is most definitely one to watch, as he is a arguably a triple threat.

Wagner's trip to Vegas provides transferable skills for campus leadership as well as lifeDAN LUNERWeb Editor

When it comes to the idea of leadership for Bridget Wagner, junior business administration major, it's not just an attribute you put on a resume. To her, it's much more than that. "Leadership is definitely an important aspect of my family and I've always wanted to know what it takes to be a leader," Wagner said.

And Wagner took the next step in following the family formation by attending the Rapport Leadership Breakthrough this past summer.

The conference took place from July 25-27 in Las Vegas, Nev. and focused on a variety of team-building activities that aid in becoming successful leader.

Wagner discovered the conference through her father, who had attended in prior years. "I wanted to go because my dad would always return from their courses and talk about how they changed his life."

To attend the Rapport Leadership courses, one must be nominated by a previous attendee and without a doubt Wagner's father nominated her as well as her cousin.

Exercises at the conference were used to build teamwork, support, self confidence and self awareness and when asked if

they were effective, Wagner said, "Definitely! From going to this conference, I learned so much about myself as well as others."

Serving as the director of special events for the Campus Activities and Programming Board, Wagner learned a lot at the conference that she can apply to the job. "This year, I plan to support my team members by helping them with whatever is needed to get a task done," Wagner said. She continued, "In Las Vegas I also realized that the other members of CAP Board are here to help me and support me with whatever may happen this year."

In the future, the Wagner family's leadership will expand as her mother and younger brothers plan on attending within the next few years.

But focusing on the present, the skills learned at the conference don't conclude with her term on CAP Board.

Wagner concluded, "Leadership comes in different shapes and forms, but ultimately I learned at the conference that it starts with myself."

Remembering Rebecca ClarkBY ERICA ABBOTNews Editor

Rebecca “Becky” Clark, 21, died Friday Sept. 5. Clark was a part of the Cabrini Cruisers Commuter Learning Community and was set to graduate in 2015 with a major in pharmacy. She also worked with her aunt at Clay’s Bakery which her aunt owns for six years.

According to Clark’s aunt, Denise Bones, Clark died on Friday morning at 1:30 a.m.

at Blackrock near Lot 60 in Phoenixville. She was there for a bonfire with friends “when a completely dead tree fell on her and killed her instantly.” Police showed up to both her fiance’s and mother’s house around 4:30 a.m. to deliver the news about the accident.

“You read all these statuses on Facebook about people who knew her and how they never

knew of anyone with so much of a positive effect on everyone she met,” Bones said. “You wanted to be with her [and] around her.”

One of Clark’s friends from Cabrini, Kiera Williams, shared some of her favorite memories with Clark. They met on accepted students day in April 2011 right before they started their freshman year. “I loved Becky dearly. We connected instantly. Our friendships were surrounded by jokes, laughter and honesty. [It was] never a dull moment with Becky”, Williams, senior psychology major, said.

One of the things that Williams will always remember about Clark is her laugh.

“Becky had the most contagious laugh. I can still here her laugh till this day,” Williams

said with a laugh.Some students from her LC

and the science department also held a memorial for Clark on Sept. 9. in the library, after her funeral services. Dr. Sarah Maggitti, director of counseling and psychological services, Richie Gebauer, director of first-year experience and Michelle Goff, alumnus and the previous master learner for the commuter LC, were just a few of the people that came to the memorial to reminisce about Clark. Williams

also created a slideshow of Clark and the fun times she had at Cabrini. “It was good seeing old friends from our LC Cabrini Cruisers [and] reconnect and share funny moments about Becky,” Williams said.

When remembering her niece, Bones said, “She wanted to be the best and it took a lot of work. She worked for me at my bakery in Berwyn for 40-hours a week,

then a full-time class schedule as a pharmacy major. She made time for everything. She said that it takes time and being there making that connection with family. I literally told her in words all the time who special she was. She took care of her family, was so dedicated to school and being a great sister for Meghan and Katie.” When she thinks about Clark, she thinks “smiles and laughs.”

“She loved life and most importantly loved her family.”

A memorial service will be held for Clark on Oct. 5 during mass at 7 p.m. It will be the one-month anniversary of her death and will be open to the entire Cabrini community.

On Friday Sept. 12 the Phillies took on their division rival, the Miami Marlins in the first of a three game series. The first run of the game didn’t come until the sixth inning. Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria hit an RBI single on a line drive allowing back-up first baseman Jeff Baker to score, giving the Marlins the first run of the game.

The Phils quickly answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the sixth. Marlin’s pitcher Henderson Alvarez hit Phillies right fielder Marion Byrd with a wild pitch causing second basemen Chase Utley to score. All tied going into the seventh inning, neither team managed to score any runs by the ninth, which led to an extra inning.

Phillies relief pitcher

Jake Diekman struck out his first batter, left fielder Christian Yelich. The Phils defense managed to get two straight outs keeping the game at a 1-1 tie heading to the bottom of the 10th. After a ground out from Phillies back up first baseman Maikel Franco and a single from center fielder Ben Revere. Then third baseman Cody Asche stepped up

to the plate. In his first start being the Phils number-two-hitter in the line up, Asche hit a walk-off homerun sending the stadium into an uproar.

The Phillies continued their success in their second

game of their three game homestead defeating the visiting Marlins 2-1. However their last matchup resulted in a 5-4 loss after heading to the ninth inning with a 4-1 lead.

The fans weren’t too pleased with relief pitcher Jonathan Papelbon for giving up four runs in the ninth inning, as boos filled the stadium. Papelbon, allegedly frustrated by his performance and fan reaction, performed a gesture in which he grabbed his crotch area to the sea of booing fans. He was then ejected from the game from second base umpire Joe West. Papelbon was unhappy with the ejection and stormed onto the field harassing West about the decision he made to eject him.

Papelbon in a postgame interview, according to USA Today’s Jason Wolf, denied the claim that he made the gesture to insult the fans.

“[West] basically came

over and said I that did an inappropriate gesture and I had no clue what he was talking about,” Papelbon said. “That is when I got upset. I had no idea what he was talking about. I had no explanation. I was still obviously pretty heated from what had just transpired. Me and Joe, we go way back. We

don’t see eye to eye a lot of times,” Papelbon said.

Papelbon has been suspended for seven games and fined an undisclosed amount by the MLB. The Phillies organization is backing the decision, making that very clear in a statement they issued out. Papelbon’s suspension started Sept. 15 during the Phillies 1-0 loss to the Padres.

After the Padres series the Phillies look to take on the Oakland Athletics in a three game series on Friday Sept. 19 at 9:35 p.m.

On Saturday Sept. 13 the woman’s soccer team fell short to Arcadia University 1-0 at Edith Robb Dixon Field. This marks the Cavaliers’ third consecutive loss and puts them at 1-4 on the season.

In the opening half, both teams were without a goal, however, Arcadia won the shot statistical battle with six shots. The Blue and White fired four shots of their own.

After a scoreless first half, the first goal of the game came in the 69th minute when Jackie Glanfield assisted senior Kim Canfield, giving Arcadia a 1-0 advantage.

Then Cavaliers had to play catch-up in the second half but couldn’t score before the final buzzer.

Juniors Megan Martin and Dana Peterson led the Cavs with four shots each while Martin had two shots on goal during the match.

Freshman goalkeeper Alivia Dietsch had four saves on the day (three of which occurred during the first half of play.)

Martin expressed her feelings about Saturday’s loss. “We out -hustled them the majority of the

time and I personally believe that we wanted it more,” Martin said.

“The time that this game was most frustrating was the last 10 minutes of the game when we had so many opportunities but just couldn’t score,” Martin said.

With the loss to Arcadia, the Cavs are optimistic and looking forward to redemption.

“We have a great team with so much potential. We are going to keep working hard and use this loss as a learning experience to better us in the long run,” Martin said.

The Blue and White have been shutout in two of their four losses this season and look to change that in just their second home game of the year.

The Cavaliers will take on the 1-4-1 DeSales University in their next match. Game time is set for Wednesday Sept. 17 at 4 p.m. in Center Valley, P.A. at DeSales University’s home field.

Tim McDonald is the new head coach of the Cabrini men’s basketball team this season, but he is no stranger to the Cabrini program. For the last four years McDonald has been an assistant coach.

Prior to coaching at Cabrini,

McDonald coached at Haddon Heights and Gateway high schools. He coached former Cabrini star Jon Miller at Gateway before they were both recruited for the Cabrini program. Overall, McDonald has been coaching for 11 years.

Coach McDonald has a very positive outlook for the season, as do his players.

“We have a good nucleus of talent return-ing, even though we only have five returning players. One of them is Division III National Player of the year, Aaron Walton-Moss and sec-ond leading scorer, Vinny Walls,” McDonald said. The Cavs face a tough-out-of conference schedule, according to McDonald.

“Our goal is to win the conference championship

and go as deep into the NCAA tournament as possible. Lots of that depends on the draw; some of that is luck as well,” McDonald said.

“I think Tim McDonald is going to come in and do a great job. I think he is more than ready for the season,” Senior Walton-Moss said.

The key to success this sea-son will be in the leadership of players like Aaron Walton-Moss, Vinny Walls, and sophomore for-ward Deryl Bagwell to step up his game. “We are not a very big team, but we are athletic. We need to control the tempo of the game,” McDonald said.

In addition, the freshman recruiting class has some real potential for contributing to the program.

McDonald considers him-self to be an offensive coach. McDonald said, “With our team, obviously offense is the way to go.

We averaged 92 points per game last season but I would like our defense to step up.” McDonald

feels that there are many NBA and college coaches to look up to and if he had to choose a player that was an inspiration to him that would have to be Michael Jordan.

Coach McDonald has a favor-ite quote that was written by former UCLA basketball Coach John Wooden. “Talent is God

given, be humble. Fame is man given, be grateful. Conceit is self given, be careful,” Wooden said.

When asked what is the most rewarding part of coaching bas-ketball, McDonald said, “the chance to recruit players out of high school and when they get to college, watching them grow from young men into adults and being able to work with them on and off the court.”

As a basketball McDonald in a college setting there must be many stories and memorable moments to share. Coach said, “Since I’ve been at Cabrini, my most memorable moment with the team would have to be in 2012 when we made it to the Final Four with a buzzer beat-er to get us to the National Championship. It was a moment I will never forget.”

Cabrini College Athletics recently added a new member to their staff, tennis coach Stephen Parker. Parker grew up in Wisconsin and started his college career

at the College of Wooster. He was not a stranger to being part of a team; he played soccer at the Division III level. After unfor-tunately getting injured, he transferred to the University of Delaware and obtained a degree in English. Parker has spent many years teaching beginning-level tennis to a variety of age groups, as well as holding private lessons and clinics. He is a teach-

ing professional that is known throughout the tennis community. Parker was hired by former pro player Fred Perrin to teach professionally at Mill Creek Tennis Club. Something very unique about Parker is that this is the first team he has ever coached. “I was excited and looking for a place to go where I could be a part of something,” Parker said.

Parker’s goal for this season is to make the girls tennis team play as a unit.

“I really want these girls to enjoy what they’re doing. I want them to remember why they liked tennis in the first place,” Parker said.

The goal for all teams at the DIII com-petitive level is to add another champion-ship under their belt but for Parker, his objective for the season is a little different.

“Winning is great but it is not the most

important thing. It’s important for this team to play hard, bring what they’ve got and just have fun,” Parker said.

For Parker, finding out that he would be named a coach at Cabrini was an excit-ing experience. He would be able to do his two favorite things: play tennis and teach students about the game that he loves.

“To me, this isn’t really a job. I really enjoy coming here. This whole situation is great. I get a chance to teach, and to be,

I hope, some sort of role model. I get a chance to be passionate about a sport that I love and teach it to others,” Parker said.

Parker is more than just a tennis coach. He is an individual who is passionate about life and living it to the fullest. Parker teaches his team the importance of living in the moment. As humans, it is normal for us to be so focused on the end result of life that we might miss what is going on right before our very eyes. Parker said that he sat down with his team and explained this mentality to them.

“You blink and this season is going to be over,” Parker said. “You won’t get a chance to get it back so start playing now. What are you waiting for?”

Parker’s mentality as a coach is some-thing that is going to make this team and season so unique. He embodies Cabrini and exemplifies what the college is all about. The girls are currently 3-0 and hope to continue the success for their season within the next few weeks.

Since she was a second grader, Kylie McDevitt, a communications major at Cabrini with the goal of becoming a sports broadcaster, has had a passion for field hockey and the community that playing on a team creates. After a friend had told her about Cabrini she transferred from

Montgomery County Community College and has fallen in love with the campus.

“It’s the perfect school,” McDevitt said. “I couldn’t ask for a better field hockey

team.”She loves the team so much that she

stated that her greatest accomplishments in field hockey stemmed from her time on Cabrini’s team last year. Even though she’s been to three outdoor and five indoor nationals, she is most proud of gaining the title “Rookie of the Year” from the CSAC and the ability of the team to make it into the CSAC championships.

It has not been all fun and games though. There have been times where

McDevitt thought she might have to give up the sport she loves. In high school she developed problems with her hips and when doctors performed an MRI with no success in determining what the problem was the thought of leaving field hockey almost became a reality.

“I knew that not a lot of schools would want an injured player,” McDevitt said recalling her thoughts during the time.

Luckily at the end of last season a differ-ent doctor was able to look at McDevitt’s MRI from six years ago and determine the

problem. She had surgery in January on her right hip that should allow the pain to eventually subside.

“A lot of times on the sideline during games I’ll pace behind the huddle and if I keep it moving it doesn’t concentrate the pain,” McDevitt said. “Everyone thinks it’s hilarious that I pace like a caged animal.”

W h e n she’s not on the field, McDevitt, simply enjoys hanging out with her friends and watching Netflix, but she’s committed student. McDevitt is passionate about the sport and claims that it doesn’t harm her academic responsibilities. She speaks fondly of her head coach, Jackie Neary, who supports

the fact that her athletes are student-ath-letes and makes sure the players know that getting good grades goes hand-in-hand with performing well on the field.

“What it’s really geared towards is skills that will help you in any aspect,” McDevitt said in regards to her major.

She feels that studying communication has afforded her opportunities to under-stand a large number of potential future jobs.

McDevitt has her heart in the world of field hockey and she has found a way

to make sure it remains a part of her life by working towards her goal of becom-ing a sports broadcaster. Her love and passion for the sport, her team, her academ-ics and the future make Kylie a great example for future student athletes.

CABRINI ATHLETICS

The Cabrini women’s tennis team improved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in their conference after defeating the Marywood Pacers.

Before coming into their match on Friday, Sept. 12, 2014 the Blue and White beat Marywood, which they haven’t done in a regular season since 2010.

The Cavs had great success in doubles play as they took two of the three match-es. Sophomore Elena Conway and senior Samantha Trumbo earned an 8-2 victory improving them to 3-2 on the year.

Not only did the Cavaliers strive in dou-bles play but in singles play as well. The Blue and White took five of six in singles play while Trumbo continued her success winning her number two singles match 6-2, 6-4.

“We are a deep team without any real superstars. We played very well across the lineup and had 2 matches where we

reached way down, problem solved, and gritted out 2 important wins. I have no negatives to dwell on,” Stephen Park, head women’s tennis coach, said.

Although he was very thrilled with the result and the play the Cavaliers gave, he said there is always room for improve-ment.

“As a team we are focusing and prac-ticing every single day to become more aggressive playing balls in the midcourt. That involves taking short balls and volley-ing better, hitting overheads and shorten-ing points,” Coach Stephen Park said. “We want to dictate tempo in the match. I am excited about the rest of the season. It’s a cliché, but we strive to play each point, one at a time and not get hung up looking ahead.”

The Cabrini Cavaliers will move out of CSAC play on Monday when they host Alvernia University. The match is sched-uled for 4 p.m. at the Dixon Courts.

Women’s tennis set big goal to win CSACBY JOEY RETTINOManaging Editor

While Cabrini Lady Cavs made it to the Colonial States Athletic Conference last sea-son, they did not win. Nicole Broccolino, junior criminology major, believes this year will fair different.

“There is a lot of heart and passion this year,” Broccolino

said. “Each individual player is motivation towards the rest of the team and has the desire to make a statement in the conference.”

So far the girls are 4-2 overall and 2-0 in the conference, with these numbers prospects of win-ning the CSAC are attainable to the team.

“Although we have been very satisfied with continually making it to CSACs, this year we have a

great shot at winning due to our new found confidence and deter-mination,” Broccolino said.

The only bumps they can foresee on the road to the CSAC Championship will be their match against Gwynedd-Mercy, which ironically is their last scheduled match and senior day on, Oct. 17, 2014.

If the girls win the CSAC Championship, Broccolino

believes it will “earn the team more respect” than they have received in the past.

“Cabrini Night at the Phillies” was certainly a night to remember as over 400 Cabrini students and alumni filled Citizens Bank Park. The Cavaliers school spirit was definitely represented throughout the stadium. There was nothing but a sea of red Cabrini Phillies t-shirts that clothed the students along with complemintary Cabrini knit hats that were given out to every fan throughout the stadium.

As soon as the gates opened, Cabrini’s very own cheerleading squad along with the Cabrini Cavalier greeted Phillies fans. Fans posed for pictures creating memories that Cabrini students will have for years to come.

Before both the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies took the field, senior communication major Se’Quia Bailey sang the national anthem.

“I was so nervous,” Bailey said. “I didn’t want to fall or do anything ridiculous to embarrass myself.”

“There were so many staff and faculty, family and friends cheering me on and I did not want to disappoint them because I was representing the school in a way.”

Bailey was a crowd favorite, bringing in cheers from the stadium and had some Phillies players nodding to each other in approval while giving Bailey a genuine applause.

“At one point I thought I might cry because it was unreal,” Bailey said.

“The cheer from the crowd really made me reflect on how great God is. This entire opportunity was just a blessing and I can’t say thank you enough,” Bailey said

Shortly after the anthem, Luke Snyder represented Cabrini after his dad won an auction making him able to throw the first pitch.

President Don Taylor then presented two high school students with the Phillies

Extraordinary Scholar award. Katherine Hung of Radnor High School and Matthew Molnar of Washington Township High School received their awards on the field from President Taylor.

In the following moments, Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels took the mound in hopes to protect their home field. Both teams were scoreless in the first five innings of the game. Hamels did his part recording six strikeouts during the first five innings. The Phillies weren’t having much success sending their base runners home. In the bottom of the fourth, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Marlon Byrd loaded the bases with no outs. Dominic Brown flew out to left field and Carlos Ruiz grounded out into a double play, keeping the Phillies scoreless.

After the fifth inning, the Cabrini Dance team took the field to perform in front of Citizens Bank Park. They had some help from the Phillies own Philly Phanatic. Fans cheered as the dance team moved to Ariana Grande’s “Break Free.” The Phanatic drew a lot of reaction from the crowd by going back and forth with his own movements and the steps of the dance team. Despite a short performance, the dance team was effective and represented Cabrini with excellence.

Seconds later, the Phils and Marlins took the field again to start the sixth inning. Due to scoreless innings, the Cabrini student section grew restless. As a result the students decided to display their school pride by chanting the spelling of Cabrini.

Shortly after the Marlins took a 1-0 lead after an Adeiny Hechavarria single sent Jeff Baker in for a score. But the Phillies answered in the bottom of the sixth inning. Chase Utley doubled on a line drive to Marlins right fielder Ed Lucas. Lucas committed an error, which sent Utley to third base. Marion Byrd came up to the plate and was hit by a wild pitch from Henderson Alvarez and Chase Utley

advanced to home plate tying the score 1-1.

During the seventh inning President Don Taylor went around the stadium to interact with students. Cabrini students swarmed to the new president and anyone that could took selfies with Taylor. Students had nothing but great experiences with the new president especially, according to Bailey. She had an encounter with Taylor before her performance.

“President walked in (my dressing room) and I had never even shook his hand before I had just read a lot about him,” Bailey said. “To know that a man that knew only one thing about me that I was a Cabrini student but offered so much encouragement

that was so on point, I really appreciated him for that.”

A few alumni were at the game as well engaging with Taylor.

“It was great to see Dr. Don Taylor,” alumnus Greg Robinson said.

“Being on the Presidential Search Committee and being very intrigued by Dr. Taylor and his vision for the school I knew he would be a great president for my alma mater.”

A lot of the Cabrini freshmen had a great time at the game and weighed in on their experiences.

“Cabrini Night at the Phillies was so much fun. I enjoyed watching the game and meeting new people,” freshman Gabrielle Lee said.

“I had so much fun hanging

out with my new friends and being around the Cabrini student body,” freshman Kassandra Nieves said.

It only got better for Cabrini. Both teams remained at a 1-1 tie after the ninth, which led to extra innings. The Phils defense stood strong providing three straight outs. In the bottom of the 10th after Phillies back up third baseman Maikel Franco grounded out, Ben Revere singled to center field. Phillies third baseman Cody Asche hit a walk-off homer to right field to cap off the Cabrini Night at the Phillies in dramatic fashion.
