t CW nwk sw The

Vampire Diaries (TVD) has beenon the air since 2009. Since then,fans have followed Elena Gilbert(Nina Dobrev) Stefan and Da-

mon Salvatore (Pal Wesley andIan Somerhalder), and friends asthey dealt with affairs of the heartand went p against varios en-

emies. However, the Mystic Fallsgang has never battled a greaterenemy than the Originals, therst vampire family to walk theplanet. Since their introdctionin season two, they have wreakedhavoc pon Mystic Falls, and soformidable is their power, they now have their own show.

The Originals , as the new show will be called, follows the deadli-

est of the family, Klas (JosephMorgan recrring TVD geststar), as he tries to take back hiskingdom of New Orleans fromhis protégé, Marcel (Charles Mi-chael Davis), who has becomethe new “king” in Klas’s ab-

sence. Marcel has scceeded in si-lencing the witches, corralling the

werewolves, caging the hmans,and has trned the town into

vampire central. Klas, believing himself to be sperior to every -

one else since he is a vampire- werewolf hybrid and an Original,is frios and will stop at nothing to dethrone Marcel and take allthe glory for himself.

For those who have followed TVD since Klas’s debt, it isnever a good thing when Klasbegins scheming. Blood will in-

evitably be shed, lives will be lost,and tantrms thrown when hedoes not get his way. When ev -

erything goes down, it will be p

The Originals Take New Orleansto the rest of the Original fam-

ily, Elijah and Rebekah (recrring TVD gest stars Daniel Gilliesand Claire Holt), to make sreKlas does not case too mchdamage.

Those who are interested inThe Vampire Diaries will denitely

want to watch the spin-off, The

Originals . Even thogh Klas andthe Originals are technically theenemy, yo cannot help bt fall

prey to their charms and theirstory. Also, anything that comesfrom TVD writer Jlie Plec isbond to be spectaclar. Not ex-

cited yet? Well, fans can also look forward to possible Klas loveinterests. First, there is Haley (re-

crring TVD gest star Phoebe Tonkin), a werewolf and a famil-iar face from The Vampire Diaries ;

and Camille (Leah Pipes), a h-

man. The fact that Klas woldbe drawn to a hman in any way,besides as a snack, is interesting enogh. Nevertheless, crios tosee what happens between Klas

and these lovely ladies? Eager toncover chapters in the Originaltale yo never before encon-

tered?

Besides discovering new res-

tarants (eating is one of my specialties), I like to explore new neighborhoods and parts of Philadelphia I have never visited.Recently, I discovered Mt. Airy.

Mont Airy is a hop away

from Chestnt Hill Collegeand is the next neighborhoodbeyond Chestnt Hill. LikeChestnt Hill, Mt. Airy offersmany shopping and restarantexperiences along Germantown

Avene, with many options tochoose from.

I decided to try a restarantcalled Calypso located at 7122

Germantown Ave., specializing in Trinidadian cisine. Thisrestarant is relatively new to thearea. I am not familiar with foodfrom Trinidad so I decided totry something simple: the honey garlic calypso wings and cocontcrème spinach. Althogh not thehealthiest option I cold havechosen, it was really good. They

prices were reasonable, and this

is a great place to try something

different.

While riding the 23 bs

throgh Mt. Airy, I noticed a

restarant called Earth Bread +

Brewery, located at 7136 Ger-

mantown Ave. They offer a

brnch men on Satrday and

Snday. I decided to pick some-

thing off the brnch men, in-

clding one of their specialties,

at breads. I ordered savory

cheese grits and a small “White

+Black,” which is at bread

with roasted garlic sace, crispy

bacon, gs, argla, asiago and

parmesan cheese. Althogh the

pairing may have been random,

it was so good. The grits were

cooked jst right and the at-

bread was thin and all the in-

gredients blended together per-

fectly. I wold denitely go back

again. It is a casal environment

and the staff was knowledgeable

and pleasant.

One thing I am looking for-

ward to in Mt. Airy will be the

2013 Street Fare on Sept. 19

from 6 - 10:30 p.m. The otdoor

event will be located between

7000-7200 Germantown Ave.

There will be many stores and

restarants participating to in-

trodce people to the area. Go

to GOMTAIRY.com for more

details.

GRISELLE RODRIGuEZ ’14ContriButing Writer

There are a few names, sch

as Miley Cyrs, that seem to

be synonymos with what we

consider “news” as of late. Theconstant reporting of celeb-

rity stories has taken over news

otlets over the years and it all

began with the now infamos

socialite Paris Hilton. When

the world was introdced to the

hotel heiress back in 2007, an

entirely new concept was born;

a concept that is known as “ce-

leb-reality.”

When gossip shows popped

p in the 1990s, networks were

able to draw in adiences that

had particlar interests in top-

ics not covered on primetimenewscasts. Styled as short

docmentaries, networks often

featred hman-interest pieces

inclding celebrity proles.

Celebrity news stories event-

ally became more demanded by

viewers, leading to the creation

of entertainment news shows

like Access Hollywood and En-

tertainment Tonight.

Ssan Magee, MFA, assis-

tant professor of commnica-

tions, asserts that news maga-

zine shows opened the gates for

celebrity jornalism and broad-

ened the denition of what is

considered news. “The news

division was never spposed to

make money,” she says. “How -

ever, news magazine shows, like

60 Minutes , which often featred

celebrities along with more seri-os news, became hgely pop-

lar, drew large adiences and

the ad revene started rolling

in. Then came cable television

with a 24/7 news cycle and new

programming niches to ll, and

or societal denition of news

was permanently changed.

Now with the Internet, that

denition of news keeps get-

ting broader and more celebrity

and opinion oriented.”

Celebrity cltre ths be-

came more relevant with con-

smers indlging in their gilty pleasres. Entertainment tab-

loids featred more gossip

stories, playing into the nat-

ral desire to see, read, and hear

the maladies of celebrities. The

term sed for this is known as

schadenfrede, which means

to get joy ot of the failres

of others. Celebs are held on

sch a high pedestal and re-

garded as perfect, that we are

almost inclined to want to cel-

ebrate when they make hman

mistakes. Not only do we feel

better that they are not as im-

maclate as they seem, bt that

sometimes their problems are

as bad, or worse, than ors.

Ileana Garcia, an assistant to

city concilman David Oh, says

becase of the rise of celebrity

news, the competition for na-tional news to keep p interest

grew. “I think what has hap-

pened is that the real news has

to keep p with what people are

seeking ot more,” she said. “It

seems like they exaggerate how

they present a real news story;

almost like they want it to grab

yor attention more based on

how they grab yo, bt not why

the story is actally important.”

It goes withot saying

that some of s are aware of

Miley Cyrs’ performance at

this year’s MTV Video Msic Awards in Agst, whether

actively or by accident. Cyrs’

risqé performance raised eye-

brows and got people talking,

so mch so that it was on the

front page of almost every na-

tional and local news pblica-

tion.

Karen Getzen, Ph.D., assis-

tant professor of English, ad-

mits that she only became aware

of the story when she picked p

Philadelphia Inquirer . “I saw

the story emblazoned on the

front [of the Inqirer] and on

Pop Culture Think: Today’s Definition of News

ABC national news, so I want-

ed to see what made it so rele-

vant,” she says. “Even thogh Idon’t really think celebrity newsis important enogh to garnerfront page headlines, I can see

why there is a demand for it andthat is becase it plays into cr-rent yoth cltre.”

How shold we determine what is news and what is not? That is entirely p to the reader,bt what we choose to seek otcontribtes to what we deemas important. Reading an en-

tertainment story or the gossipsection of the paper does notnecessarily mean that yo arecompletely oblivios to real

world isses. Instead, it solidi-es that we often seek ot sto-

ries that can distract s from it.Reality television shows

have also played into qenching

or thirst for knowing abot

celebrity life and have made

the desire to know abot them

stronger. Becase they have

made themselves more acces-

sible, it makes s feel as thogh we have more of a right to be

involved.

And jst like the song to

which Cyrs’ performance was

set, celebrities sch as herself

have blrred the lines of real-

ity and have people qestion-

ing, what exactly constittes as

the denition of fame? It also

brings one to ponder the obvi-

os: Shold Miley Cyrs’ per-

formances be covered by the

same news sorces that cover

the world’s hard-hitting news?

KYLE MICK ’15Staff Writer

In an age of manfactredmega-pop hits, dmbed-downlyrics with as mch sbstanceas a dll crayon, and gim-

micky costme-lled live per-formances that become thehighlight of everyone’s Twitterfeed, it is hard to see a ftre

where creative, and passion-

ate msicians get the recogni-tion they deserve in the m-

sic indstry. While the blightof poorly crafted pop msicseems to never end, a glimmer

of hope has emerged from themisty shores of Iceland. A softspoken, hmble msician, withan nbond creativity and m-

sical passion that is conveyedin the massive emotional msiche creates. His name is Olafr

Arnalds.Mostly an nknown name

in the united States, this Ice-

landic born metal drmmertrned innovative classicalcomposer, has taken Eropeby storm with an ingenios mixof sweeping melodic classical

compositions, and compter

Key Tracks: “Brim” • “For Now I Am

Winter” • “This Place Was A Shelter”

“For Now I Am Winter”processed effects that feel sr-

prisingly matre compared to

other msical grops, sch asDaft Pnk or DeadMa5. In

his third stdio albm titled,

“For Now I Am Winter,” Ola-

fr Arnalds takes s on a jor-

ney of msical experimenta-

tion and memorable classical

melodies that are lled with

sweeping violins, melancholy

cellos, and the sond of Ar-

nalds’ cryptic piano lingering

in the backgrond. While ev -

ery track ts perfectly together

like a well-constrcted pzzle,

what feels ot of place on this

albm is the singing done by

Arnor Dan. While his voice

sonds amazing, the bland lyr-ics that he sings detracts from

the msical compositions that

Olafr Arnalds painstakingly

pt together. Thogh this is a

minor complaint, it is enogh

to make yo hit skip every

once in a while.

If yo have never listened

to classical msic before or

have listened to it yor entire

life, Olafr Arnalds, “For Now

I Am Winter,” is denitely a

great introdction into the

classical genre.

NICOLE CARNEY ’16ContriButing Writer

It is yor home away fromhome, yor sanctary, and aplace yo nd yorself spend-

ing a lot of time. Yo sleephere, have friends over, andmaybe occasionally stdy with-

in its walls. A dorm room is animportant part of many st-

dents’ college experience andcan be a tre reection of whothey are.

Megan Welch ‘16 and JessicaPerham ‘16, residents of Sgar-loaf, each described their roomin three words. Perham sedthe adjectives “mismatched,colorfl, and reective” while

Welch said “bright, cozy, andpeacefl.”

Back on camps, Jstin Mc-

Mahon ‘15 described his six-

person site in Fitzsimmons tobe “scary, fn, and messy.”

Each dorm room portraysan image and has character,

which depends on what yodecide to pt in it or how yodecorate it. Welch and Perhamtogether created a niqe en-

vironment with Perham’s Emi-nem poster and Welch’s scarvesbrightening p the room. Mc-

Mahon’s and his roommateshave a mch simpler way of liv -ing, similar to the stereotypicalrooms of men in college mov -ies. The bare essentials stackedp in the rooms, bt not alwaysin the most organized fashion.

When asked if they had atheme to their room, Brittany McDonogh ‘16 and OliviaGorczynski ‘15 said they wentfor bohemian and that they ac-

complished. The room featres

Stylizing CHC Dorms, the Clashing and the Cozy

colorfl bedspreads, tapestries

hanging in the corner of their

rooms, paper fans adorning their walls, and twinkle lightsto add that extra accent. The

ladies most certainly knocked

it ot of the park with theirtheme. Their favorite part of

their room is their vanity. Overthe mirror they strng lights

and as McDonogh pts it,

“They are the focal point of theroom and when they are on the

atmosphere is soothing.”upperclassmen may think

back to the days in Fontbonne,

an experience that freshmen

Andrew Hildebrand (In proofsthe D on Hildebrand got left

off) ‘17 and Scott McGrath ‘17

are living right now. Their door

is often left open, as are many in this residence hall, whichcreates a tight-knit living com-

mnity. The fact that they know

everyone is their favorite part.If yo walk into their room

the rst thing yo wold see is

their nice television where they,and their teammates, can watch

sports, movies, and play videogames, of corse, only when

they are not stdying.

Christina Roach ‘15 residesin the Lincoln Woods Apart-

ments across from the school

and she cold not be happier with her living sitation. The

fact that she has a kitchen and

a landry room at her disposal

is denitely a benet, bt thatis not even her favorite part.

Roach said, “My two favor-

ite things abot my apartment

are the replace and the deck.

We are not allowed to se the

replace bt it makes it hom-

ier. Or deck has a nice view

becase it overlooks the golf

corse.”

No matter where yo live

it is p to yo to make it yor

own. Each residence hall has its

benets and its downfalls, bt

in the end it is home for thisyear.

A college freshman goesthrogh many transitions,ranging from living on theirown or with a complete strang -er to a heavier academic work -load. College stdents have allbeen throgh it; a nightmareof a roommate or three weeks’

worth of work with the de

date qickly approaching, andin the worst cases, both. Thesetransitions are enogh to stressmany and send a few rnning back home. Now throw a fll-time job into that and yo havea Division II athlete.

“In Division II, we trainand play volleyball like it’s a flltime job,” says Emily Drew,freshman Volleyball playerfrom Hnterdon Central Re-

gional High School. “Typically if we aren't in the classroom,

we are training.” From playing

at the high school level of any sport to playing in college is ahge transition that is rarely acknowledged bt deserves it.

“The intensity of train-

ing at college is mch higherand taken more seriosly thanit was in high school,” saysMatt McLeod, freshman Soc-

cer player from Washington Township High School. “Thebiggest difference from highschool to college is the physicaland rate of play.”

The schedle of a Division

II athlete alone is a hge jmpfrom the schedle of a highschool athlete. “I was sed toonly have one practice a day,and working ot on my ownevery other day,” says Drew.

With only Snday as a recov -ery day these athletes are con-

ditioning, practicing and com-

peting with enogh intensity to make yo tired jst reading abot it.

“At CHC, not only do Ihave two hor practices eachday, bt I also have to t in

an hor conditioning workotdring the day on my own,”says Drew. “Practice is alwayshigh intensity, nless there is agame the next day, then it is alighter session,” adds McLeod.

This is not even inclding thegames they play, which can behors away.

Between conditioning,practices, and games, theseathletes commit a tremen-

dos amont of time to theirteam, all while balancing a col-lege academic workload. “It’sall abot planning yor time

wisely and getting yor work done as soon as yo can, be-

case soccer takes p a major-ity of my college time,” saysMcLeod. “I am prepared forthe fact that dring the week I

won't really have free-time andI will have limited free-timeon the weekends,” adds Drew.“If I have an hor in betweenclasses I am spending that time

getting a few homework prob-lems completed.”

While freshmen pt in jstas mch work as anyone elseon the team, they do not al-

ways get as mch playing time,bt nevertheless they contineto work hard for the benetof their team. “Or team hasgreat potential and I jst hopeto be apart of a great season,”says McLeod. “I want to repre-

sent my school and team wellby helping my team win andgo to the NCAA tornament,”

says Drew.No matter how mch hard

work and time they mst com-

m am s a-

ways an aspect of it that makesthem enjoy it. “I love the fam-

ily feel of being on the CHC volleyball team,” says Drew.“My team is lled with a lot of great players that all get pshedby one another to become bet-ter each training session,” saysMcLeod. “Everyone here is to

win and that’s the bottom line.”

CONTRIBuTING WRITER

Eagles With the rst snap not yet

to be taken, the PhiladelphiaEagles are already at war, bt

not as yo might think. Jsta cople days before theirMonday night opener in thenation's capital, wide receiverRiley Cooper and cornerback Cary Williams had a brief al-tercation that ended with fel-low teammates and coacheshaving to separate the two.However, it did not end there.

The ery cornerback contin-

ed jawing at his offensiveconterpoint before being ledaway by qarterback Michael

Vick. This qarrel most likely started as a reslt of Cooper'scomments in a video wherehe was caght sing a racialslr. Williams told uSA Today Sports that healing the brokentrst will take time. For theEagles’ sake, hopeflly thattime is before Monday night.

They will need their team tobe focsed in order to claimtheir rst division title since2010, in a tenacios NFC EastDivision, after a disappointing

4-12 campaign last season.

the Us and Dwns f philly SsPhillies

There is not mch to say abot the Phillies’ season ex-

cept that it has been a majordisappointment. Althoghit's very difclt to compete

within a divis ion with the

powerhose Atlanta Bravesand Washington Nationals,this team shold have donebetter than forth place inearly September. Let s startoff with positives: as always,Chase utley stayed rela-

tively healthy and consistentthroghot this season. Do-

monic Brown nally emergedfrom top prospect to a middleof the linep power hitter.Cliff Lee has been fantasticand Cole Hamels has pitchedbetter than what his nmbers

indicate. Darin Rf has beena pleasant srprise, providing some power in a limited role.

However, the positives endthere. Jimmy Rollins looksmore and more like a mediocreplayer every day. Roy Halladay

cannot stay healthy for a fllseason, and it makes yo won-

der if all of those srgeriesare going to affect his career.

The Delmon Yong signing was a disaster. Charl ie Manel,their manager since 2005, was

red in mid-Agst. To top itall off, they have one of the

worst contracts in baseball with Ryan Howard, sti ll owing him arond $75 million overthe next three years. Those arejst a few of the many mis-

takes that Rben Amaro, Jr.has made in the last cople of years. Before they make any plans for the ftre, the rstpriority shold be that Amaro

Jr. shold not be a part of it. The rosters have expandedand, hopeflly, they see call

ps with bright ftres, schas Adam Morgan and JesseBiddle. This season was a losteffort and Phillies fans sholdjst start saying "better lck next year."

TIFFANY uREÑA ’16SportS editor

Baseball--it has been Amer-ica’s pastime for decades, btfor the past few years, thesport has taken a big hit. Ma-

jor Leage Baseball has beentainted by the se of steroidsand many other kinds of per-formance enhancing drgs(PEDs).

On Ag. 5, there was anoth-

er storm of athletes accsed of cheating their sport. Three timeMost Valable Player (MVP)

Alex Rodrigez , 2011 NationalLeage MVP Ryan Bran, and

Texas Rangers’ Nelson Crzare jst a few of the names re-

leased in the list of players that were part of the year-long in-

vestigation into their ties to theSoth Florida anti-aging clinic,Biogenesis of America. In to-

tal, 13 players were sspended,some for the rest of the season,others for mch more. Bt this

is not the isse. Jst like in any sport that is

viewed by millions of people,

these professionals are in-

encing their viewers on a daily basis. Yong players look p tothese athletes, and if these kidslearn that their favorite playersare cheating in order to win,

what is that teaching them?Chestnt Hill College seniorDesmond Lites, an otelderon the Grifns baseball team,believes that the sport has tak -en a big hit becase of steroidse.

“It’s really jst frstrating becase yo have that stigmanow that anything yo do thatexceeds anyone’s expectations

will be qestioned and there’salways qestions arising wheth-

er someone’s taking steroids,”Lites said. “It’s really taking away from the game.”

Not only are isses arising concerning the respectability of baseball, bt awards given toplayers are also getting tainted.

There are many different opin-

ions concerning what shold

be done to players like RyanBran, who received a majorhonor in 2011, bt admitted to

taking performance enhancing drgs. Taylor Steen, a jnioron the Grifns baseball team,thinks that choosing whetheror not a player shold keep hisaward is a difclt choice.

“Baseball is a very toghsport to play. When a playerfails seven ot of ten timesand are considered great, it jstgoes to show that in baseball aplayer will fail a lot more thanthey will scceed,” Steen said.

“Players sholdn’t be strippedof their accomplishments; they shold jst go down in history

with an asterisk, so that peopleknow that they did not do itnatrally.”

The bottom line is that weare living in a world wherecheating in sports is almost in-

evitable. If Major Leage Base-ball accepts that fact, they coldmove forward in attempting totackle a sitation that threat-ens to tarnish the game that somany American love.

ber of the 100-win clb and wasthe Intercollegiate Tennis Associ-ation (ITA) East Region’s nmber13 individal competitor.

Other key retrning playersinclde Morgan Oeschele ’15 andsophomore Iman Williams-Mle-

sa ’16, both of whom had greatsccess last year. Oeschele teamedp with Dennis in nmber twodobles and the do ranked asthe ITA East Region’s nmber

seven dobles team. On herown, Oeschele was 18-8 overall.

dividal sccess, earning back-to-back CAAC Rookie of the Week

Whenasked abot his projections forthe pcoming season, Stroblesaid, “We have a lot of good play -ers this season, I feel good abotor potential.” Stroble feels thatthey can exceed what they did lastyear. Stroble also said that he ex-

pects the girls to work hard and

win the Conference Champion-ship.

“It’s hard to expect anything with competitive things, bt withcommitment and hard work wecan do it.” Stroble said, “Orgoals are very difclt, bt we cando it if we pt orselves in a goodposition.”

The team hopes to not only make it to the championships,bt to scceed academically as

cer team is ready for a seasonof transformation with a freshroster.

able players de to gradation,he has mltiple players coming back ready for another season.Frthermore, the Grifns arebringing in 2013 with ten new athletes to add to their already powerfl roster. Among thenew Grifns is jnior mideld-

er Nicholas Jaffe, who believesthat the team is prepared after

working hard dring the off -season. “Everything changedafter this smmer,” Jaffe said.“All the players made sacricesand pt work in dring the

smmer withot the coach.”In the Grifns season open-

er against the Mercy CollegeMavericks, the team provedhow physical they expect to bethis season. For most of thegame they were the aggressorsagainst the Mavericks. How -ever, after mltiple attempts toscore, the Grifns played for90 mintes withot a goal andthe Mavericks took the rstgame of the season, 1-0. Afterthis loss, the men played theirseason opener in the same ag -

gression role and were able tosecre a 1-0 victory early onin the game. Last season, themen went on a six game losing

Grifns’ athletic teams. Five of their members, Oeschele and

Williams-Mlesa among them, re-ceived the honor of being namedITA Scholar-Athletes, as the teamgained its third straight ITA All-

Academic Team award. The team served the opening

volley of their season on Tes-day, Sept. 10, against one of their
