Cabrini and Villanova students and faculty, along with Catholic Relief Services sta!, were motivated by the extensive training event hosted at Villanova University this past weekend.

Over 15 Cabrini students attended Villanova on Saturday, Sept. 14, for the annual Catholic Relief Services train-ing event for ambassadors. "e day was scheduled for many di!erent activities to get the ambassadors up, active and inspired. However, this year was di!er-ent from previous years.

Peggy Jean Craig, CRS relationship manager/university liaison, the lead speaker and person in charge of the event, was energized all throughout the day.

“We have been getting ready for this training event for months and months. We designed this new training format, so we are very excited for today and we see you all as extremely important, agency wise, but even within our uni-versity cross divisional team,” Craig said.

All throughout the day students gathered in small groups, in a comfort-able and warm environment, by #rst opening up about personal experiences that inspired them to become a student ambassador. "is way everyone was included and worked together to estab-lish a closer-knit relationship between Cabrini and Villanova.

CRS is a nonpro#t organization that has over 5,000 employees who work mostly over seas in di!erent third world countries helping the domestic people. Teaching basic life skills and peacemak-ing strategies, CRS was #rst established right after World War II when there were an ample amount of war refugees. CRS has also worked with refugees from Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, North Korea, Ecuador, and in nearly 100 developing countries.

When asked what exactly drew Craig into her work with CRS she said without hesitating, “"e combination of faith, international development and working with college students.”

Some goals that were established at the beginning of the event were to introduce and explain what CRS does, to inspire, to build capacity, develop

a work plan, and to build a commu-nity. "ese goals will be a major impact on this year at all campuses nation-wide, but were tested on the students of Cabrini and Villanova before, since they are of the #rst founding CRS college chapters in the country.

Clare Pressimone, senior social work major, social justice minor and pres-ident of Cabrini’s CRS Ambassadors, worked at the CRS headquarters this summer, “I was able to do some devel-opment work on immigration for col-lege students, and they are still working on those materials.”

"e focus has completely turned around for the better at CRS, where this year, more students will have a voice, giving their input and leading discus-sions. "ere was also talk of more col-laboration between both Cabrini and Villanova, making this year the building blocks for the rest.

"e three goals that were given to each ambassador speci#cally this year were: educate, action and formation.

Sara Garwood, co-president of Villanova’s CRS Ambassadors, spoke about her goals for this year: “Engaging the Villanova community and expand that engagement out amongst our inter-collegiate community with Cabrini, and focus on engaging our student body.”

Collaboration between both colleg-es throughout the day truly bene#tted each school. "e talk of walking togeth-er on Oct. 5 for the Immigration Reform walk was also brought up at the training event. CRS Ambassadors will be going to Philadelphia to walk among others who believe our immigration laws need to be reformed.

It was great to see the collaboration between schools, seeing what programs were e!ective or not e!ective for their campus.”

Both schools follow a list of issues that the congressmen discuss after their

recess. "e #rst on that list is immigra-tion where both schools will be setting up conference calls, meetings and gath-erings where they can sit down, discuss some ideas from previous years and any additional ideas for this upcoming year and write letters to congressmen.

“CRS has given me an opportunity to really work on these things, learn about them and also give me the opportunity to develop public speaking and leader-ship skills within the context that I am interested in,” Charlie Bates, economics major, humanities minor and co-presi-dent for Villanova’s CRS Ambassadors, said.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t

Whether we as a country like it or not, we have always been considered the watchdog of the world. And we’ve taken on that role. We’ve kept our eyes peeled. We’ve kept our ears open. We’ve kept our troops ready.

Most of the time, this is a role to be proud of. And after all, most of the time it makes sense. America, land of the free, home of the brave. What better nation to watch out for the rest of the world, right?

Reacting #rst to dangerous, threaten-ing situations comes along with being the watchdog of the world. Sometimes this is a great thing, we can save innocent lives, we can make a di!erence. But sometimes this self-appointed title is a not so good thing. Take for example, the war on terror that got us involved in Iraq and Afghanistan for over 10 years. Some say this was a situation that could have been avoided if we had been patient.

But watchdogs aren’t patient. Watchdogs react when they feel that something or some-one they need to protect is being threatened.

So here we are again on the brink of a war. Is there a valid reason? Yes, of course.

It was established in the Geneva Protocol that the use of chemical weapons was pro-hibited. "e protocol was created in 1925 and banned the use of, “asphyxiating, poi-sonous or other gases, and of all analogous liquids, materials or devices.”

Syria broke this protocol when it used chemical weapons against its citizens.

On Aug. 21, footage was spread over numerous social media sites showing graphic and gruesome images of innocent

people su!ering. Not only did these inno-cents su!er, but they died.

It’s important to note that before this chemical attack happened, Syria was in the midst of a civil war. President Bashar al-Assad could have just been trying to get his country in control. He could have also been harming innocent people for no reason.

Under the Geneva Protocol, this action is strictly prohibited.

So what do we as watchdogs do? We intervene.

At #rst it seemed like the only options were to attack Syria or not attack Syria.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.Now of course there are pros and cons to

each of these decisions. We, as a sta!, feel like there was no singular right decision.

As a country, we have appointed our-selves as the watchdogs. "is means we have to do something when things get messy. However, nobody wants to see American boots on Syrian soil.

Is it right to stand by and watch innocent people get hurt for no reason? No, of course not.

But is it fair to us as a country to get involved in something we didn’t ask to be nor want to be involved in? No, of course not.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.Despite being stuck between a rock and

a hard place, President Obama has at least made a choice.

Last Tuesday, he made an address to the nation stating that if Syria did not put its weapons under international control

like Russia had suggested, we would follow through with a targeted military strike.

Obama said that this wouldn’t be like another Afghanistan. "at this time there is signi#cant proof that these weapons are being used. Obama also said that even though there is potential that this targeted strike could happen, American boots will not touch the ground; everything will be from the air.

Obama, knowing that this wasn’t the pop-ular decision with congress or the American people, followed through with this decision anyway.

Do we, as a sta!, want to see America in any way go to Syria? No.

However, we respect the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is standing his ground. Whether or not Obama decided to intervene with Syria, there would have been backlash.

So is it better to feel guilty and do nothing to help the innocent people even though we have that power, or to interfere with a coun-try that we have no need to and potentially start another war?

"ere is no right answer. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

What we hope for is the diplomacy to fol-low suit. We hope that this war type situation can be avoided. We hope that Americans don’t have to go to Syria. We hope that although we have to power to protect the innocent Syrians, we don’t have to use it.

We hope.

With the situation in Syria continuing, we’re left wondering what constitutes as the right thing to do. It seems as though there is no right answer, just options.

Is it better to feel guilty and do nothing to help the innocent people even though we have that power, or to interfere with a country that we

have no need to and potentially start another war?

THURSDAY SEPT. 19, 2013 THE LOQUITUR.COM | 3NewsNo stone unturned at SGA general forum

BY EMILY ARENTZENSta! Writer

"e Student Government Association left no question unanswered as they hosted this semester’s general forum on "ursday, Sept. 12, in the Widener Lecture Hall. Students of every class had the opportunity to raise any questions and have them answered by a member of SGA.

Gregory Robinson, a senior and student body president of SGA, led most of the dis-cussion while fellow senior Angelica Graber, student body vice president, also helped guide the audience with their questioning. "e other members of SGA helped along with the answer portion in the event that one question needed a more in depth solution.

"e main focus of SGA is to be the representatives for the entire student body. As stated in their constitution, they are “"e o%cial governing body that represents the student body’s needs in a democratic process.”

Graber describes this mission of SGA in stating that “we want them to approach us because we might be easier to approach than faculty.” "ursday’s forum was just a small example of how this organization reaches out to their student body.

Naturally, with a room full of new faces to the school, questions based around resi-dent halls arose. Along with those questions came queries about the situation with lack-ing dormitory trash cans, as well as if something can be done to better illuminate the pathway to West Residence Hall.

"is range of topics shows that any number of questions may be asked to the SGA.With each question asked, SGA members were quick to answer, giving as informative

a response as possible. Not every question had a de#nite and immediate answer. If this were the case, one of the members reassured that at one point or another, the students’ suggestions would be heard.

Without student suggestions and input, Graber says that they “wouldn’t accomplish anything.” "ey need the students in order to be successful.

Aside from the o%cial questioning that took place, the members also emphasized upcoming events that students have the chance to be involved in.

"e main event this upcoming semester is the renewing of Homecoming weekend. An excited Graber said that SGA “encourages each class to decorate the back of a pick-up truck for the parade” that will circle the campus as part of the festivities.

"is opportunity can come as quite an invitation to any freshmen who are still adjust-ing to the college life. "e parade can give them the chance to reach out and show the school who they are.

Each student has the chance to raise their voice on campus. All they need to do is reach out to SGA for a little help.

LEADStrong starts another year with emerging leaders

BY DAN LUNERPhoto Editor

Students who hope to become the lead-ers of tomorrow are kickstarting their jour-ney with LEADStrong. "e program had its opening workshop in Grace Hall on Friday, Sept. 13. LEADStrong’s mission is to prepare students to become socially responsible leaders within diverse com-munities. Students regardless of experi-ence have the chance to discover their strengths, hone in on them and take the upper hand when it comes to competition of jobs.

"e day started with a discussion on teamwork from Anne Filippone, chair of the LEADStrong Committee. She contin-ued by explaining the social change model, which enforces the ideas of group, com-

munity and individual values. Students agreed with the model and the idea that teamwork needs to start with a common purpose and follow through with a group commitment.

Soon after, members divided into group sessions with sta! mentors. "e group activities were aimed to #nd students’ strengths and weaknesses as well as goals they have while in the program. Evan Guinessy, freshman education major, discovered LEADStrong through the Involvement Fair and hopes to build his time management and teamwork skills. Charlie Platia, senior graphic design major, said “I hope my participation will help me look at things from a di!erent point of view and help be more aware of di!erences in leadership styles.”

After the individual group meetings #nished, the event transitioned to dinner with re&ections and what the next steps would be. Returning member Danielle Kane said, “Joining LEADStrong was one of the best decisions I made at Cabrini.” She also added, “I’ve learned what it means to be a leader and how people have di!erent ways of being a leader.”

After dinner, junior math major Shawn Friel addressed the group about his time participating in LEADStrong. Friel said, “"is program opened my eyes to how much I didn’t know about being a leader.” "e program helped him #nd out about leadership as Friel is heavily

involved in CAP Board and the Relay for Life Committee.

Sta! mentor Richie Gebauer closed the day with an entire group process. Members discussed that they had learned a lot in a little under three hours. When asked about his thoughts on the day he said, “I think we had a really great turnout and it’s a perfect example of leadership that is o!ered across campus.”

Discussing the program as a whole, Anne Filippone said, “Leadership is

important in any #eld you go into.” She continued by adding, “"ere are a lot of valuable skills that any student will learn if they come into LEADStrong.” When asked what her favorite part of oversee-ing LEADStrong was she answered, “"e students in the program are really great. Students come from all over campus to grow and develop themselves as a leader.”

Game Show week brought a lot of fun to the cam-pus here at Cabrini. It featured game shows such as Don’t Forget the Lyrics, Family Feud and "e Price is Right. Taking a look at "e Price is Right, students were chosen to participate in the show by way of ra'e tickets. Upon entering Grace Hall, students were asked if they would like a chance to be a part of the game. If they did indeed want to be a part, they were given ra'e tickets that would be chosen throughout the show to see who would be playing the game. Once the #rst set of students were chosen, the game began. Students were asked di!erent questions that involved Cabrini such as how much a certain meal plan was, room and board and the cost of a single dorm room in East Residence.

Caitlyn Can#eld has been working with CAP Board for two years. She was a part of putting this week of games together.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Can#eld said.And she was not wrong at all."e students in the crowd certainly agreed. "ey

kept the noise up as they cheered on contestants. "ey even shared their thoughts on some of the ques-tions asked. "e students de#nitely helped bring this game to life. Without them, it certainly would not have been possible to have such a successful game show.

Senior participant Rob Riches loved the crowd and their energy. He also mentioned how CAP Board events are always a good time.

“I’m thinking I probably had a good chance of winning because I had my Bobby Clarke shirt on,” he joked later on. "at wasn’t the case but he sure had a good time while he was up there.

After many rounds, two students were chosen for the #nal showcase round. During this round, each student had to total up the price of a few items. Whoever was the closest to the actual prize would win. "e #rst place prize was a gift card to the book-store here at Cabrini. Second place would win a gift card to Insomnia Cookies. Most students seemed to think that the real winner would be whoever got the second place prize.

Shawn Friel, a junior member of CAP Board, was the host for the evening. He enjoyed all the enthusi-asm the crowd showed during the entire event. “Just when you see the entire crowd just getting into it and cheering and going nuts, that’s always a good time,” Friel said. Based on the excitement of the students from this event, there should be many more exciting times here at Cabrini.

Students at Cabrini #gure out if the ‘Price is Right’ for themARIEL MELENDEZSta! Writer

BY LEONARD BROCKSta! Writer

Game Show Week this year was yet another exam-ple of students coming together being involved in campus activities.

On Saturday, Sept. 14, the Campus Activities and Programming (CAP) Board brought the classic game, Family Feud, to Cabrini’s campus. Family Feud ended CAP Board’s Game Show Week, a week of events that also included Don’t Forget the Lyrics and "e Price is Right. “I think the event went really well and I thought attendance was great,” Jim Brooks, director of weekend programming said. “I’m very happy with the outcome of the event and it was fun for everyone!”

During Family Feud, there were teams of #ve peo-ple that faced each other in a friendly competition. "ese teams however did not have to be a family, but rather a group of #ve friends. "e teams were asked trivia questions about Cabrini and played just like the game is played on TV. "ese questions were questions about how much a credit cost at Cabrini, how much room and board is, and other questions that revolve

around the campus. "e answers to some of the ques-tions gave historical, and present information about Cabrini and food tips for freshmen in any college.

“I made surveys on general and Cabrini trivia and handed them out to whoever would want to #ll them out,” Brooks said. “Once I got to my target number of surveys, I tallied the answers to #nd the most fre-quent.”

It was clear to anyone who attended the event that the audience had a good time. Even when they weren’t competing, they reacted and tried to guess the right answers to the questions that were being asked.

“I think it went really well,” Nicole Lawlor, market-ing chair, said. “"e people that went seemed to have a great time.”

If this event is a sign to tell what’s to come for the future, then CAP Board has an exciting year set up for the students at Cabrini.

was not born there, I have visited the country many times in my 25 years of life. My entire family resides in Iran with the exception of myself and my parents.

Iran is one of the oldest coun-tries in the world "lled with cul-ture, tradition and religion. #e Islamic Republic of Iran came into existence in 1979, following the revolution. In other words, Islamic laws are technically considered to override laws of the state, though in reality their relative hierarchy is ambigu-ous. Iran was just like the United States until the revolution, which changed everything.

I distinctly remember one trip to Iran I took in the summer of 2005. It was in late August and it was uncomfortably hot. #is was the earliest trip there that I can remember. When I landed in Iran’s capitol city of Tehran, I was immediately greeted by family members from both my mother and father’s sides. #e total family members in atten-dance were two sets of grandpar-ents, four uncles, four aunts and seven "rst cousins. It was truly

overwhelming in every positive way. As soon as I arrived at my grandparents house, there were even more family members there to welcome me. It was also in the middle of the night. All of my grandmother’s friends wanted to meet her "rst grandchild who lives in the United States.

I didn’t realize how friend-ly the people of Iran would be towards me. After all, I barely knew anyone outside of my fam-ily. And until I went to visit, I associated Iran with what I heard on the news. I was skepti-cal and anxious upon arriving. However, once I landed, all my personal misconceptions disap-peared. It was eye-opening how the people lived over there with such humbleness. It doesn’t take much to make Persians living in Iran happy. Don’t get me wrong. My family lives across from the Shahs palace in a beautiful home; still, locals don’t need the latest iPhone to make them happy or a new car every year. #ey don’t desire materialistic objects as we do in the U.S. I de"nitely noticed that the people were incredibly

friendly, exceptionally generous and miraculously ambitious

Every single member of my family in Iran is well educated, they all have great careers and hardly anyone gets divorced over there. It was such a refreshing change to visit a country with such a high value of culture and tradition. We don’t have too much of that in the US. It exists; however it is limited compared to the Middle East.

I was there the remainder of August. I explored the mountains and escaped into a new reality of comfortable living. It was so simple and everyone was happy. My family took me to every part of Tehran. We spent most of our time site-seeing and going out to dinners in restaurants located inside of mountains. It was a truly incredible experience.

When I went back to Iran in 2008, I spent almost all of my time with my cousin Sannam. We were born three days apart and are very close friends. She took me to see parts of Iran that I hadn’t seen before. We went to outdoor hookah cafes, where

people our age hung out togeth-er. She helped me experience the Iran that foreigners don’t know about.

People think of Iran as such a closed o$ country, where soci-ety would have no opinion and no rights. I saw the beauty of the country where everyone was always in a pleasant mood, everyone leaves their doors wide open. I saw a di$erent side of Iran than what is always portrayed in the news. What I witnessed was a country "lled with beautiful, educated people who work hard and enjoy time with family and friends. Everyone gets along, there is no drama and everyone trusts the people around them.

My experience in Iran is something I wouldn’t trade for anything. It has made me learn not to listen to everything in the news. #e media is making Iran seem as if it’s "lled with vicious people who only want to cause harm to others, what the media failed to show is just how much Iran is like the US.

Apps such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have become a part of teens’ daily routines. Babies being raised today are learning their ABCs o$ of iPads. But speaking in terms of everybody, I think social media has really bene"tted us. #ere certainly are good things that have come out of social media’s existence.

To start, employers "nd use of social media handy when it comes to prospective employees, networking and more. Sites such as LinkedIn have made it possible to establish “connections” and network with past, present and future colleagues. Users can write recommendations, add or endorse skills and even display media as a small online portfolio. Employers can use LinkedIn and other social media sites to see if a prospective employee is

the right "t outside of the interview pro-cess. Speaking of portfolios, another site, Pressfolios helps journalists get their work out into the digital world. Journalists can create a free portfolio of their top stories and easily pull up a webpage in an inter-view instead of hauling around a portfolio of newspaper clippings. Other portfolio sites such as 4ormat and Wix can help other professions display their work and establish a portfolio for little cost.

Social media can also assist new/small-er businesses establish an online presence. Facebook Pages has helped me immense-ly. I run my own page for my emerging photography business. #e page helps me provide updates, connect with fans and customers and most importantly, share my photos. Over the course of just under a year, my page has received 370 ‘Likes.’ #ese likes help spread my photographs to their network, establish an online pres-ence and bring in more likes. It takes a lot of work but the results are worth it. I have had several people inquire and eventually purchase my work. I’ve also networked with other photographers in the area and garnered freelance opportunities from connections of fans. #e clicking of the ‘Like’ button may not seem big to the user, but to the page owner it means a lot.

Well-known businesses should have

a social media presence as well to take full advantage of bettering their company. Wal-Mart has 33-million fans on Facebook and joined the site only four years ago. Wal-Mart keeps their fans engaged in many ways. #ey have monthly cover photos, which feature a collage of fan-submitted photos for the month’s theme. Wal-Mart also posts updates on sales and new items, and customers have the ability to share comments with Wal-Mart. Social media has helped, as their stock has taken a nine percent increase since 2009. Ultimately, most retail businesses will not only gener-ate more sales if they use social media, but also build on customer satisfaction.

Some people think social media takes us away from human interaction, but I think it does exactly the opposite. People

can make new friends by "nding a com-mon page they like. Current events post-ed on YouTube generate chatter in-class and can sometimes even turn into pas-sionate debates. And you can’t forget the meal discussions that generate from “Transformation Tuesday,” “#rowback #ursday” and “Sel"e Sunday.”

According to Brian Solis, digital analyst for the Altimeter Group, “Social media sparks a revelation that we, the people, have a voice...” Solis has a simple, yet valid point. Each one of us truly do have a voice when it comes to social media, so do the world a favor and put your 140 characters to good use!

The bene!ts of being “plugged in”

Viewing Iran through another’s eyes

Page 7: Sept. 19, 2013 issue 03 Loquitur

Celebrities nowadays are continually stretching the ambiguities of the line between what constitutes artistic expres-sion and what is considered provocative. Today, the media is !lled with music vid-eos using many profanities and provoca-tive actions

Many artists, including Miley Cyrus and Robin "icke, behave in such an outlandish manner that it can only be described as inappropriate in most cases.

Miley Cyrus is one artist whose behav-ior I would consider provocative. As a singer who was known for many years as the good girl of Hannah Montana, watch-ing her transition into this raunchy wan-nabe is quite disturbing.

Another distressing fact is while Miley Cyrus is trying to completely rebrand herself overnight as no longer being this character of Hannah Montana, I would think that there are still many young fans of hers out there. I would be worried if any child still looked to her as a role model.

Videos like “We Can’t Stop” and

“Wrecking Ball” do nothing to improve outlooks on Miley Cyrus. “We Can’t Stop” is grossly used in a way of saying that you can do whatever you want. Looking past the words of the song itself, the video is a train-wreck. Cyrus dances in an extreme-ly provocative manner throughout the video by twerking—a move that caused much controversy in her Video Music Awards performance on Aug. 25.

When I see celebrities acting in these ways I can not help but think that the main reason they do it is for attention. I will say though that I believe there are better ways to put yourself out there as an artist other than the provocative course of action that many seem to opt for these days.

Reverting back to the VMA perfor-mance that shocked the nation, it brings even more ill-handled events into ques-tion. Like how Miley Cyrus, 20 and Robin "icke, 36 ended up collaborating on the performance and provocatively dancing. Personally, I thought that was a weird and even uncomfortable thing to watch during certain parts of the song when Cyrus and "icke were a little too “twerk happy.”

Another prevalent topic in the music world today is the use of explicatives and profanity. My point is not to say that certain terms can not be used in a song in an artistic manner but so many songs these days are weighed down with slurs and profanities. Referencing a few other artists, such as Robin "icke’s “Blurred Lines” and Justin Timberlake’s “Tunnel Vision”, are also examples of the indecen-cy that goes hand-in-hand with so many

videos and songs.One has to wonder why certain artists

are drawn not only to inartistically plac-ing profanities into their songs but why they feel the need to plaster it through-out their videos. A perfect example of this is in Robin "icke’s music video for “Blurred Lines” with the huge writing on the wall that advertises something personal of Robin "ickes’ in a profane, almost sexist manner.

"e thing that I was most taken aback by in “Blurred Lines” and “Tunnel Vision” was the blatant disrespect shown by plac-ing people in the videos with almost little to no clothing. Seeing no necessity, artis-tically or not, in placing those women in the videos like that is something that I just can not wrap my head around as to how or why that was done.

Strikingly, before viewing Justin Timberlake’s video, a message popped up: “"is video may contain content that is inappropriate for some users as #agged by YouTube’s users. To view this video, please verify that you are 18 or older by signing in.” If a video is this explicit or provocative, I question the artistic value that the video itself brings to the table. Also, how easy it would be for those kinds of videos to fall into the hands of younger children by the simple action of signing in.

I am sure that some people get more o$ended at certain things than others. People gauge an artists’ indiscretion o$ how they perceive their maturity to be based on their age or how that artist is perceived by others as a role model. Of course, people might also unfortunately

judge people based o$ their past experi-ences or stereotypes. Whatever the case is for being o$ended, there are many things that go into shaping a person’s reasoning and that is ever-present in current day artists.

Keeping with the idea that bad pub-licity is still publicity is one of the main reasons why I think artists behave the way that they do. "ey crave the limelight and most will do whatever it takes to put themselves into those situations, whether it is through good or bad publicity—an endless cycle.

Is it possible for someone to lose their job over something you posted on Facebook !ve years ago?

"e answer to this question is yes.According to BBC Capital, “One in 10

job seekers between the ages of 16 and 34 have been rejected for a job because of something posted on their pro!les, according to a recent survey from London-based mobile research !rm On Device Research.”

Many of the newer generations do not know that once something is posted on Facebook or Twitter, it is practically there

for life.Most companies want a positive image.

"erefore, when someone is shown licking a stack of taco shells wearing Taco Bell apparel, that is negatively impacting that company. A picture that has been shared thousands of times on both Facebook and Twitter is of the infamous Taco Bell employee licking a stack of shells that was posted onto Taco Bell’s Facebook page.

"ere has been a trend of di$erent employees from fast food restaurants all over the nation who seem to be taking practical jokes to an entirely new level.

According to Toby Adeboyejo, !lmed by CNN, “I’’m not completely sure what’s up with social media nowadays, where everyone posts their bad behavior on Facebook, it’s kind of like, you don’t post that on the internet that’s not a good idea at all.”

Because there was a speci!c contest going on during that time, the picture itself was acceptable. However, because it was then shared onto the employee’s personal social media account, it violated the franchise’s policies.

Do I believe that because of pictures like this, employees should lose their job? Yes.

When you apply for a speci!c occupation, you should know that anyone can go online and type your name into Google. Depending on how often your name has appeared in tags, statuses or in pictures, anyone can see what has been posted.

Even prospective high school seniors should be careful as to what they put up online because any school can look up your name and see your activity.

Reckless and unprofessional actions, such as taking a picture of yourself licking food from your place of work and then posting to your personal social media account, is not something that will be spoken lightly about. "at picture will be with that employee forever. "e only issue with the story is that he made one mistake and now, because of this impractical prank, he will live many years possibly unemployed because no company will want someone as reckless and unprofessional as this employee was.

Stuart MacLennan, "e Labor Party in

Scotland, was !red because he tweeted o$ensive slews. According to CNN.com, MacLennan referred to the elderly as “co&n dodgers”, made jokes about slavery and referred to waitresses and waiters as “chavs”, a pejorative term for the working-class youth. Consquentionally, MacLennan was !red from his position.

It is not just silly high school and college students being !red. "ese are people who have worked hard all their lives and make one seemingly insigni!cant mistake. But by posting something viewed as innappropriate on their personal social accounts, thousands of employees have been !red.

No matter how many privacy settings you use on your accounts, there are still ways that companies can get around these obstacles to learn just exactly what you are posting. "e moral of the story is that everyone really needs to be careful about what they are posting online.

Student government association allows the student body to take on an active role on campus. It allows students to voice their opinion on campus issues or other suggestions that the student body believes is important. Elected board members are then able to demonstrate the interests of the student body to administrations.

“I work closely with the faculty, sta!, vice presidents and president of Cabrini to express the concerns, suggestions or comments the student body of Cabrini may have,” Gregory Robinson, student body president, said.

By being a bridge between students and administration Robinson hopes to create a campus

that everyone can enjoy.“My position also allows me to work with the various student leaders on campus and student run organizations on accomplishing a very engaging environment for the student body,” Robinson said.

Some of the things Robinson hopes to accomplish this year includes, reestablishing the communication bridge between students, SGA and the administration of Cabrini. Robinson hopes to build upon Cabrini spirit and support all of the student groups on campus.

Lucia Neuber is a current board member on student government. For Neuber, being on student government is not just a job here at Cabrini College.

Neuber, who is executive board secretary on SGA, came onto the board with a purpose to make a di!erence here at Cabrini. Neuber takes notes while meetings are being held and gets everyone’s opinions down so can she share them with the board.

She thought getting elected and being on the board would be the easiest way to get involved. “It feels like I have a purpose on campus now,” Neuber said in a recent

interview.When asked how she liked being on SGA

Neuber said how much she loved being on the board. She recommends being on the board for anybody who wants to get involved here.

Senior elementary and special education major, Angelica Graber, is not a new face on the SGA exec board. “#is is my second year as student body vice president,” Graber said. “But i have been serving as an SGA member since freshman year.”

SGA takes pride in hearing the voice of the student body as a whole. Graber does her best along with the rest of the board to really take in what students are saying.”My role is to make sure the student voice is being heard,” Graber said. “To be sure that we are able to report back to students what is going on, on campus.”

#ere is a lot of behind the scenes work that has to be done in order to make sure the students can get what they need. “It is also my role to assist in maintaining relationships

with faculty and sta!.” Graber said.#e student body government is a small

group that represents not only the students but the school as well. “Our goal for this year is to keep SGA’s name strong,” Graber said. “But, also to know what is going on with di!erent departments.”

SGA always wants the students to know that they care to listen. Graber speaks on how they take pride in satisfying the community in order to create a level of fairness. “We are here to make positive life-long changes at Cabrini,” Graber said. “We are not student government if we do not have the student body’s support.”

With noticeably heightened interest in Student Government by students, David Watson has great expectations for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Merely but one of his many roles, Watson is the current executive parliaementarian. !is puts him in charge of contact assistance for the SGA. “When someone has a con"ict, I’m the person they’re supposed to contact,” Watson said before clarifying. “I take a running tally of who’s going to be there and who’s going to be late.”

!ough he will not be attending on Sept. 12, Watson urges students to participate in the Student Government Association General Forum on !ursday.

“!e General Forum is to voice your opinions to Student Government. It’s very important,” Watson said. “As an incentive, the #rst twenty students to arrive will receive a complimentary t-shirt.”

Having been part of the Student Government Association since his sophomore year, Watson has become a strong representative of Cabrini students. He has also been part of SGA for the last two years . He has seen major improvements in the association’s use of social media and organization. “I am very social media geared,” Watson said. “We’ve de#nitely improved on getting information out through social media much quicker.”

Watson is most excited to see the changes in SGA this year and what the Class of 2017 has to o$er. “!ere has been a lot of interest in the freshman class that I could see. Whether it be from the involvement fair, or the word of mouth, many kids have told me they want to be involved,” Watson said, who likes seeing the enthusiasm from the underclassman.

LaBar credits Gregory Robinson, student body president, as an substantial encourager to run for a

position on SGA. As Treasurer, LaBar heads up all of the SGA’s fundraisers and comes up with creative ways to raise money for the classes.

He assures that selling St. Patrick’s Day shirts will be an upcoming fundraiser because of its success in previous years. LaBar also shares that there are plans in the works to hold a scarf sale in the fall this year.

Hey Cabrini Family,

My name is Royal Blue but everyone calls me Blue. Did you happen to notice my new makeover? I’m quite in love, email me your thoughts.

More and more peo-ple are getting frustrated and let down by the con-nections they have found online. Hearing people say that meeting someone not on-line is one of the hardest things to do. People have just become accustom to sitting behind a computer screen and having a conversation over a keyboard.

When asked the question “Why not try meeting some-one at a bar or a co!ee shop”, the answer is always the same. Either they do not have the con"dence to approach someone or they are just afraid of being rejected.

#ere are a few ways to become more comfortable in a social setting. One way of doing this is to go out with friends. #is does not mean going in a herd of people and just standing around togeth-er. Instead of standing as one big group, branch out and spread out over the bar or the co!ee shop having each per-son in you’re group standing by themselves or in smaller groups made up of two.

Before going out establish signals with the people in you’re group. A hand gesture or a simple $ip of the hair to let you’re friends know if they need to step in and stop the conversation.

#is will give you security and con"dence just knowing that you have people there to support you and step in if needed.

Meeting someone in pub-lic as apposed to meeting someone online gives you the chance to get to know a person by reading his or her body language. Online pro-"les are just self-made ads that a person makes to paint a picture for you. Meeting someone randomly catches them o! guard and does not give them the time to write out and practice what the answers to you’re questions are.

If your new to reading my column, don’t worry I’ll explain what to do if you’ve already read my column that’s "ne to, you may have forgot-ten. So here is how my job works. You send me an email to [email protected] with the subject “Dear Blue.” #en I will read about your situation, it could be about a relationship, school prob-lems, or issues with friends; almost anything!

Well what are you waiting for…? Send those emails!

Yours truly, Blue

“#is is the largest crowd we, as a band, have ever played for.”#ose words came as a collective thought from Kyle Morris,

Cole Male, Kevin Goddard, Josiah Maughan and Brenton Carney, also known as the Unlikely Candidates, moments before they stepped into an interview with Radio 104.5 DJ Wendy Rollins. #is rising indie band was preparing to take the stage at the "nal Radio 104.5 Summer Block Party of the year alongside #e Airborne Toxic Event and American Authors.

For those of you who have never heard of this event before, Philadelphia’s alternative radio station, Radio 104.5, throws the free summer block party concert series every year at the Piazza at Schmidt’s. Once a month from May to September, Radio 104.5 fans are invited to come down for a day of free music by some of the station’s most popular bands.

I had the chance to intern with Radio 104.5 and its sister stations this summer at Clear Channel Media and Entertainment and one of the jobs I had was to work these events. With the summer o%cially coming to a close, I was asked back to help out with one last Block Party.

Everyone could feel the energy that was rising backstage on Saturday, Sept. 14, as the bands individually got interviewed by Wendy and her fellow DJs. Right after they "nished their interview, the bands amped themselves up to go outside and perform for a crowd of thousands that have been anxiously waiting all day.

First up on the lineup was American Authors. #ey knew how to get the crowd’s blood pumping with their upbeat sound and energetic performance. #eir recent single, “Best Day of My Life,” has been making its rounds on Radio 104.5 and when they decided it was time to play it live for the Philadelphia audience, the venue turned into an instant sing-a-long. #e biggest shock of their set was when Royal Teeth, former Block Party performers and friends of the group, jumped on stage to join them during “Believer.” When they wrapped up their performance, the crowd was pumped for the bands to come.

#e Unlikely Candidates took the stage next and lead singer

Kyle Morris commanded the audience’s attention right o! the bat by pushing the microphone stand o! to the side and $ipping his hair on every drum beat of the "rst song. Morris kept his energy sky high throughout the entire set by running from one corner of the stage to the other and never missed a beat. He and his band mates played o! of each other’s charisma and it was evident because as their set went on, the crazier they got. “Follow My Feet” had the crowd screaming along and made everyone even more excited for what was still to come.

#e Airborne Toxic Event headlined the show and as soon as they became visible to the crowd, everyone went wild. #eir new song “Hell and Back” premiered exclusively on Radio 104.5 on Friday, September 13, so when they began to play it at the Block Party, there was no way the crowd was going to control themselves. Numerous people began to crowd surf as soon as the song started and although security was not too thrilled with that, you could tell the people doing it were enjoying the music. As a "nal hoorah before their last song, lead singer Mikel Jollett decided to climb the sca!olding that was supporting the stage lighting and sing his heart out from the top. While he was singing at a bird’s eye view, the rest of the band got as close to the crowd as they could by standing on the barricade.

Words could not describe the liveliness at the Piazza at Schmidt’s on Saturday afternoon. #e crowd was great, the bands were fantastic and the weather was absolutely beautiful. If you are bummed that you missed out on this or any other of the Block Parties, do not worry! Radio 104.5 will be hosting their Winter Jam once the temperature drops a bit more at the Piazza and it is very likely that the Summer Block Party concert series will return next summer.

Excitement has brought families back out for the 21st annual Radnor Fall Festival in Downtown Wayne, Pa.

!e festival was sponsored by Wayne Business Association who featured a variety of local businesses including the Radnor high school football team and crew and Valley Forge Military Academy. !ey contributed to the food and game vendors around the festival.

Valley Forge concert band began the festivities with the "Star Spangled Banner." Todd Serinksy, the events chairman, thanked the local cadets who volunteered their time and service for the event.

“!e festival started as a thank you to the community for supporting local Wayne businesses and has evolved from there,” Diana Jiorle, president of Wayne Business Association, said.

!e festival is now geared toward supporting local students with scholarships to attend local schools. !e funding is collected from the vendor fees from the event. !ere were about 5,000 community members in attendance.

Featuring new businesses every year, the festival

“Its our "rst year at the event," Leonard said. “!ere is a great crowd and we lucked out with great weather.” B2K was responsible for providing the stage equipment for local bands performing throughout the day.

!e event ended with families holding face painted children and smiling faces in approval of the festivities of the day. Anticipating next year and the years to come Jiorle encourages the community to come out and participate in this family festival.

“I invite everyone to come back next year,” Jiorle said. “It’s a great experience for both the businesses and community of Wayne.”

“I thought it was a good win.” Carrozza said, “everyone got in, everyone steeped up, we’ve been having really good practic-es lately, so I think we cam out and played our game which was important, and we didn’t play down to anyone else’s level.”

!e second set was no di#er-ent from the "rst. With strong runs the Cavs jumped out to a 20-8 lead, which would lead to a 25-11 set win for the Blue and White. Senior middle blocker Michele Fitz and senior libero Sophia Sokolovich set a tone for the Cavs in the set.

Fitz lead the team to a quick 4-0 lead while serving. Senior Sokolovich scored the teams "nal "ve service points to take

set number two.“I think we played really

well and we didn’t give up even though they weren’t as strong of a team.” Junior middle blocker Molly Fox said, “we kept our speed and our pace, we played really well, and were just going to take this intensity into this week-end,”

In the "nal set the Cavs contin-ued to dominate. !e Cavaliers jumped out to a 12-2 lead, then "nished the set 25-14, to give the Blue and White a match sweep.

In the third set, junior middle hitter Dana Wisniewski, led the Cavs in set three. Wisniewski had her hand in on 12 of the 25 points in the "nal set. With the set win the Cavs took the match 3-0.

“Our main goal is to regain the CSAC championship.” Carrozza said, “Last year we lost to Neumann, regaining that is obvi-ously our "rst goal, and then after that is getting over the hump,of losing in the "rst round of the NCAA tournament,”

With the win the Cavaliers improved to 7-2 and 1-0 in con-ference play.

On Sunday, the Cavs were at the Franklin and Marshall Scramble tournament. !e Lady Cavs dropped their "rst match of the day against Susquehanna University 1-3.

!e Cabrini Dixon Center supplies students several "t-ness opportunities. !e center also has a state of-the-art weight room "lled with new free weights and weight machines.

Dixon also o#ers students rec-reation activities such as zumba, yoga classes and an indoor track.

However, at Cabrini, you can exercise in other places other than the gym.

There is off-campus rock climbing that is o#ered to stu-dents. It is a free trip every Wednesday to the Philadelphia Rock Gym.

!ere are several health ben-e"ts when it comes to rock climb-ing. We think of rock climbing as fun, but as you rock climb you are toning your body and los-ing calories. Rock climbing for an hour burns a total of about 400 calories, which can lead to weight loss.

As the calories burn, muscles begin to tone. Rock climbing focuses on the back, chest, leg and arm muscles. Because you have to pull yourself up, rock climbing also improves your strength.

Others may like traditional workouts and exercises. Weight training is a great way to obtain a healthy body.

!ere are many misconcep-tions and questions that need to be answered about weight lifting. It seems as though people are scared, almost as though weight lifting does more harm than good. !at couldn’t be further from the truth. !ere are scruti-nizing remarks, from people say-ing “Lifting stunts your growth,” or “I don’t want to lift because I don’t want to get bulky.” !ese comments have been holding many people back from living healthier and "t lifestyles.

Weight training is far from dangerous. !e injury rate for weight lifting is lower than any other sport. It can actually be used to prevent injuries. Athletes weight train as rehabilitation for their injuries, because the

stronger the body, the lesser the chance of injury. !erefore weight lifting is actually safe, when using proper form.

Many women shy away from the opportunity to lift weights for reasons such as not wanting to look bulky or manly. Weight training can also be used for toning your body, not just add-ing bulk. Women can improve their physique without building as much muscle mass as men, because their testosterone levels are much lower; thus making a slim, toned and strong body.

Cabrini College supplies its students with a workout facility with plenty of weights and weight machines.

Cabrini’s Women’s Soccer team matched up with Bryn Mawr Sept. 17 on Edith Robb Dixon Field. A scattered audi-ence sat in attendance as the Cavaliers came out on top with a 2-0 victory.

Both teams came out ready to play in the "rst half, but the Cavs control and determina-tion to win was apparent with their 10 shots in the "rst half alone. Bryn Mawr keeper Aviva Kosansky held strong with three saves. And despite relentless attempts, the "rst half came to a scoreless close.

!e Cavs continued energy into the second half would prove a quick payo#. Sophomore Dana Peterson got a shot passed Bryn Mawr’s goaltender just three minutes in to put them on top 1-0 and earning her second goal of the season.

As they continued to dominant control of the ball Sophomore Devon Miller capi-talized and added another to the board when a shot from senior Noelle DiCiocco ricocheted o# the crossbar to Miller with 17 minutes left in the half.

Cabrini did not let Kosansky

get too comfortable in goal. !ey delivered an impressive 11 shots in the second half. Bryn Mawr pressured the Cavs late in game but none of their "ve shots could "nd the back of the net and the Cavalier goals went unanswered.

!e Cavs go back at it against Gwynedd Mercy University on their home Edith Robb Dixon "eld Saturday, Sept. 21 at 12p.m.

For the 2013 Cabrini "eld hockey team, it has been a slow start to begin the new season. !ey sit at 1-4, having lost three straight games and face a tough non-conference schedule on the road before returning home at the end of the month to begin their CSAC slate.

Despite the slow start, the Lady Cavs have found success in a pair of sophomores, who also happen to be roommates and nearly inseparable o# the "eld.

Sophomores Kerry Anne Farrell and Jen Webb have pro-vided the spark for the a squad that is still looking to "nd its foot-ing early in the 2013 season.

Farrell, an All-CSAC First Teamer and CSAC Rookie of the Year last season, has continued her success this season leading the team in points with 15, goals with seven, shots taken with 25 and minutes played with 443. Webb sits right behind Farrell with nine points, four goals and 440 minutes played.

!e chemistry on the "eld is fueled from their relationship o# it. Webb and Farrell are room-mates and have been best friends since meeting at the "rst day of preseason practice last fall at the Dixon Center.

“Our relationship off the "eld has helped us on the "eld because we both believe in one another’s ability to make the smartest decision to help the team,” Webb said. “I know Kerry is always there to pick up my slack and receive any ball I send her way.”

!e con"dence in each other began well before these two sophomores laced up for the start of preseason this fall. !ey competed in a summer league together this o#season and took time to come up to Edith Robb Dixon Field to put some extra work in passing and shooting, something Farrell complement-ed her teammate on.

“We played in a league togeth-er over the summer and got a better feel for each other on the "eld,” Farrell said. “I guess it’s just con"dence, having that feel-ing that every time I send the ball to her side without looking, I know she’ll be there to receive it.”

!ough it is still early on in these sophomores’ careers, it’s safe to say the expectations are high for two of Cabrini’s rising starts on the "eld.

“We are always together,” Farrell said. “She really has become my best friend. It really translates to our play because we know each other so well.”

Sean Neary is a junior on the Cabrini Cavaliers men’s soccer team.

Neary also is a business administration major. Soccer does not describe Sean as a per-son it is merely a skill he has pos-sessed over 16 years of playing.

Growing up in Logan Township, N.J. Neary was the middle child. Neary has always looked up to his older brother Jacob. Jacob has taught Sean a lot lesson in life whether it may be picking out the right choice of clothes to wear out that night, or setting a pick on the basketball court.

Taylor Carroll, a friend of Neary, said. “Describing Sean in one word is di!cult; it’s just an impossible task to do.”

Sean gives the credit to his mother Jackie Neary. Growing up his mother,was always doing something funny and constantly making their entire family laugh.

Neary’s mother Jackie has played a major role in mold-ing Neary the way he is. Jackie also coaches’ "eld hockey and lacrosse at Cabrini College. Jackie also made Neary”s decision on college a bit more comforting.

Neary grew up around Cabrini and when it was time to choice a school the choice was already made up in his mind, Cabrini.

Neary likes to think of himself as a trend setter when it comes to clothes, he loves wearing vans in the middle of the summer. He believes that you must always look your best whether that be waking up for an 8:15 class or going out to eat with his closest friends. Sean attended Kingsway high school it was there Neary received several accolades for best hair and best dressed.

Neary’s favorite store in the area is Urban Out"tters; he pur-chases include hats, socks, jeans, and whatever shirt is on sale that day.

Sean’s has always focused on his appearance. His freshman year he chose to do something di#erent, he went to get his hair cut and when he came back he had a new look: a mullet. Now Neary has returned to his original look the long hair, playing soccer with this long hair might get a little annoying but not for Neary that’s what head bands were made for!

Neary would rather heat up a package of chicken tenders instead of snacking on his favorite candy while he watches 500 days

of summer on a rainy day.One of his many aspirations is

to go on a date with his dream girl Selena Gomez; “there is not one thing wrong with her,” according to Sean.

Sean would love to coach Chelsea just for one match. $ey have always been his favorite pro-fessional soccer team. Neary does not only play soccer he enjoys playing basketball in his free time. During his time at Kingsway Neary was the captain of the bas-ketball team his freshman year.

$e next time Neary walks in the room do not label him as a soccer player, he’s more than just a kid from Logan Township, N.J. he’s Sean Michael Neary and there’s only one.

Men’s golf started their season with a statement, placing nineth out of 18 teams at the Messiah College Fall Invitational.

Finishing the day in the middle of the pack in the tournament’s line up was better than it sounds.

They faced nationally ranked teams and more importantly were able to come in above the two other CSAC teams that were there that day.

Senior captain Pat Rooney stressed that heat and humid-ity were the day’s toughest obstacles, a!ecting some of the other teams golfers to the point of collapse.

When asked what the remainder of the year has in store for the Cavs, Rooney said, “We have two great freshmen that we can expect big things from.”

One of the two started the year o! with Cabrini’s best score in the tournament. Freshman Michael Rojas came in just eight over par, tying for 18th out of 92 indi-vidual competitors.

Rooney expressed that he is con"dent with the team’s abilities and is enthused about the play of their strong junior class as well.

Going into their upcom-ing invitationals they plan to display a strong game, prov-ing early to be a threatening force in the CSAC.

In the second Battle of Eagle Road this fall, Cabrini men’s soccer team fell short against Eastern University, 1-0, on Saturday, Sept. 14.

#e Cavs have had a rough start to the season standing at a record with four losses and two ties before the game against Eastern.

Despite the rough

start to their season head coach Rob Dallas said, “#e guys are doing a good job com-ing out and "ghting despite how frustrat-ing it’s been.”

After a long, well-fought "rst half with many scoring oppor-tunities, the game was tied. Eastern’s Benjamin Barnhart in the 75th minute to give Eastern a 1-0 lead. However that goal didn’t stop the

Cavaliers from "ghting back.

#e next 15 minutes after the Eagles scored the Cavs pushed hard offensively keeping the pressure up on the Eagles defense.

After that long and grueling 15 minutes with the Cabrini fans going wild with cheers at every chance for a goal, the Cavs were defeated.

“We’ve made a huge improvement from last year.” Junior Sean Neary said, “a lot of freshmen have stepped up.” Neary is referring to their game last year against Eastern last year where the Cavs were defeated 7-1.

The team has obtained 12 new fresh-man players this year.

“It’s very tough to have freshmen that can compete and make big contributions right away,” Dallas said,

“but this particular group has done a fan-tastic job so far.”

Two freshman that have made an impact in this game are A.J. Bishop and Bobby Kane putting up "ve out of the 14 shots on net.

Juniors George Lambritsios and Christian Martin also contributed with two shots each.

“We’ve been bat-tling, working hard and I feel like we are

a lot more competitive this year.” Sophomore Andrew Welsh said. “We just have to keep our heads up and working hard and the results will follow.”
