Suchy started the event o with a spoken word piece, in which she proclaimed that words are powerful. Suchy then became the rst person to share a story about her past. Sophomore English major Michelle Go became the rst person to read poetry by reading an original piece about the To Write Love on Her Arms founda- tion. Go was not the only poet amongst the audience, as many other students such as sopho- more English major Samantha Ysais recited some of their favor- ite original and inspirational works. Following Go ’s piece, junior business administration major John Crouse brought out a gui- tar, a harmonica complete with a neck rack and his musical talents to share with the audi- ence. Crouse played two cov- ers of songs- “Catch the Wind” by Scottish musician Donovan and “I’ll Be Your Mirror” by classic rock band the Velvet Underground. Crouse also per- formed an original piece titled “What Do You See.” “It felt good just to play to people, especially with the tone of the songs,” Crouse said. “ey would understand and they would get it.” Crouse was just one of several people who lent their musical gifts to the audience. e audi- ence also enjoyed sophomore Anie Jamgochian’s cover of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” featuring sophomore Lauren Ciccariello on piano. Jamgochian also collaborated with senior Pat Schneider for a rendition of Good Charlotte’s “Hold On.” Sophomores Samantha Shea and Leann Scherer also col- laborated on a duet rendition of “For Good,” from the Broadway musical “Wicked.” Alumnus Neil Grogno also made a one-night- only appearance to perform sev- eral original works as well. In addition to the music and poetry, students also had the opportunity to share some of their own personal stories about any topic of their choosing. Topics ranged from depression to bullying to self-harm as well as other topics and many stories were complemented with tears. Despite the tears, the students were all there to comfort one another and pick each other up. Following the success of the rst To Write Love on Her Arms night in 2011, Active Minds decided to bring it back. ACTIVE, page 16 Silence speaks volumes against LGBT bullying Music, poetry and stories highlight Active Minds’ night BY CHELBI MIMS Features Editor For an entire day of work and class, red duct tape stayed strapped across the mouths of the students, throughout the United States, who proved the impact of what being silent can do to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender GBT community and their allies as they challenge the campus to speak up. Entering Founder’s Hall, you approached a table stationed that no one could miss. A red tablecloth covered the table that was ll of information about the day as representa- tives where there to inform all who inquired about the day. “I wanted to put myself in the position of those who did not have a voice and still do not while being bullied, closeted and feeling they were alone. I wanted to experience their struggle and really feel their pain,” Dyamond Gleaves, sophomore psychology major, said. To the left hung a banner that had photos of the campus LGBT community including their family and friends with duct tape across their mouths. Over 40 faces were on this ban- ner causing people to stop look and read. To the right of was a second table to deco- rate handkerchiefs. Each person was instruct- ed to “be creative and design or destroy the handkerchief” in what ever manner they felt necessary. e message was to portray the message of anti-bullying and how the issue is signicant to people it aects. ese hankies where pinned to a clothes- lines stretching between trees. e 32 blew in the wind representing each person aected by the silence. Each hankie stood for a color. A black for a victim lost, red for a person struggling with identity, white are for allies of LGBT and anti- bullying, yellow ew for the survivors organ- nization LGBT Bullying. “I thought the event was important because it shows that everyone should be equal and not treated dierently. In America we honor diversity that’s why we are so pow- erful,” Jaiquann Beckham, junior education major, said. One vocal ally, senior psychology major, TaRaja Davis, was the voice at the table while silent pledgers wrote on dry erase boards to communicate on the importance of they day and why they chose to participate. Even though the table was hard to miss people would walk by, ignore the vocal allies and continue to stay silent about an issue that is prevalent in our society.

Students in pursuit of change

BY ROB RICHESAssistant News Editor

!e college’s Active Minds chapter held its second annu-al To Write Love on Her Arms night on Tuesday, April 24 at the Widener Center lecture hall.

!e hall was packed to near capacity as students from all walks of life gathered to share stories, poetry, music and even several ra"e prizes.

“Active Minds…does a lot of mental health advocacy and tries to reduce the stigma surround-ing mental illness,” Robyn Suchy, president of Active Minds, said.

Suchy started the event o# with a spoken word piece, in which she proclaimed that words are powerful. Suchy then became the $rst person to share a story about her past.

Sophomore English major Michelle Go# became the $rst person to read poetry by reading an original piece about the To Write Love on Her Arms founda-tion. Go# was not the only poet amongst the audience, as many other students such as sopho-more English major Samantha Ysais recited some of their favor-ite original and inspirational works.

Following Go# ’s piece, junior business administration major

John Crouse brought out a gui-tar, a harmonica complete with a neck rack and his musical talents to share with the audi-ence. Crouse played two cov-ers of songs- “Catch the Wind” by Scottish musician Donovan and “I’ll Be Your Mirror” by classic rock band the Velvet Underground. Crouse also per-formed an original piece titled “What Do You See.”

“It felt good just to play to people, especially with the tone of the songs,” Crouse said. “!ey would understand and they would get it.”

Sophomores Samantha Shea and Leann Scherer also col-laborated on a duet rendition of “For Good,” from the Broadway musical “Wicked.” Alumnus Neil Grogno also made a one-night-only appearance to perform sev-eral original works as well.

In addition to the music and poetry, students also had the opportunity to share some of their own personal stories about

any topic of their choosing. Topics ranged from depression to bullying to self-harm as well as other topics and many stories were complemented with tears. Despite the tears, the students were all there to comfort one another and pick each other up.

Silence speaks volumes against LGBT bullying

Music, poetry and stories highlight Active Minds’ night

For an entire day of work and class, red duct tape stayed strapped across the mouths of the students, throughout the United States, who proved the impact of what being silent can do to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender GBT community and their allies as they challenge the campus to speak up.

Entering Founder’s Hall, you approached a table stationed that no one could miss. A red tablecloth covered the table that was $ll of information about the day as representa-tives where there to inform all who inquired about the day.

Editorial:

In response to cruel budget cuts approved by Congress last week that will slash necessary food programs for the poor, Cabrini students are striving to educate the campus by foregoing food on Sunday, April 29. In partnership with faculty and Catholic Relief Services (CRS), students will partici-pate in the fast to stand in solidarity with those who su#er from hunger and lend gravity to an issue that needs immediate attention.

!e Agriculture Committee of the House of Representatives passed the contentious cuts. If approved in the $nal U.S. budget, the cuts would take billions of dollars in food aid from poor people in the United States.

!e committee hopes to reduce the budget by slashing bene$ts from the larg-est nutrition assistance program in the United States. !e Supplemental Food and Nutrition Program (SNAP), better known historically as !e Food Stamp Program, is to face a $133 billion decrease in funding over the next decade if Republicans have their say. But this program has proven to be a vital resource for families whose monthly earnings after allowable deductions total anywhere from $2,500 or less for a family of six or just over $1,500 for a family of three.

!e e#ects of these cuts are massive: over 46 million Americans receive ben-e$ts from SNAP alone, 49 percent of whom are children age 17 or under – and just under half of these children come from single-parent households earning a little over $900 per month. Without this feder-ally funded food assistance program, this means that approximately 15 percent of Americans will go hungry, including over one-third of American children. If we do not support the vulnerable, how can we then expect them to rise out of their situ-ations and achieve the point of self-su&-ciency and contribution?

We on the Loquitur editorial sta# do not endorse these cuts, especially as empa-thetic students who advocate against social injustices. !ere is no tangible justi$cation for allowing almost 23 million children to become vulnerable to world-shaking reali-ties such as malnutrition and hunger. How can children be the hope for the future if we as a country cannot protect their basic rights for survival?

Our knowledge of these issues extends beyond domestic borders. We realize that this budget cut is only one of many that

stand in the way of an equal distribution of resources. As the presidential election approaches, we acknowledge that now, more than ever, it’s imperative to look at an issue of this magnitude within a context devoted not only to our domestic policies, but also to our global and inter-national diplomacy.

We commend the students organizing and participating in the FoodFast event that our collegiate chapter of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is holding for 10 hours on Sunday, April 29. It is imperative to educate oneself on the extensive issues that surround global poverty. As citizens of an interconnected world, we all have a responsibility to alleviate the burdens placed on the shoulders of the vulnerable and impoverished.

!e FY 2013 Budget proposal, also known as the “Ryan Budget,” is making its way into the federal framework and outlines a proposed $3 billion decrease in foreign aid. It aims to decrease the gov-ernment’s international a#airs spending by 11 percent by eliminating the inter-national food assistance program known as Feed the Future. !is program was put into e#ect to ensure and bolster food security in developing countries.

!is proposed decrease, is only one of many that will decrease our presence on the frontlines of international need. Similar to the cuts that SNAP itself is facing, these international programs will become enfeebled due to lack of sub-stantial funding; hunger will neither be abated here nor where it is most brutal. As a world power, it is imperative that we do not cut our assistance e#orts to maintain strong relationships globally.

!ere is obviously an immense respon-sibility placed on government o&cials to deal with the impending debt crisis in this country but we, on the Loquitur, implore it to not be on the backs of those who already su#er, Food insecurity and the subsequent assistance essential to its relief are perhaps the largest, most crucial issues time and again.

We encourage all to join the Cabrini community in advocating against unnec-essary hunger, in echoing their desire to increase global food assistance, on Sunday, April 29. Share in the hunger and re%ect upon the daily struggles of almost one billion people worldwide.

Congress shouldn’t cut food programs that bene!t the poor

On April 20th, students and faculty gathered at 10 a.m. in the morning at the Student Diversity O&ce to begin the day of silence. Students such as myself, who are a part of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community, faulty and allies, went 5 1/2 hours without speaking to represent the bullying that goes unno-ticed in the LGBT community. Attending Cabrini College, I have realized that this day has been done in the past and has had a great turn out. In the past few years it has lost its meaning here and has lost the student’s interest. !at is what we are trying to change here and now.

Stephanie Reed, RJ Carroll, Allie Jeter, John Eddings and I gave ourselves a little over two weeks to plan this huge day. We meet back to back throughout the weeks and discussed new ideas how to make this day bigger and better. Going around taking photos of student and faculty members with tape across their mouths was how we portrayed the message we wanted to send to the school and the community, which is that you have to do something to end the silence. With over 50 students and faculty pictures taken, the message was posted around the school with their face, duck tape on their mouths and the words on it, “I’m Silent” made an impact like no other.

!is year we also added the close-pin story. !e close-pin story was introduced so that students, faulty and sta# can tell their story or someone else’s story on a handkerchief to be hung up for everyone to see. !is year we had four colors, yel-low which stood for the color of surviving bullying, white standing for the color of being an ally, red standing for the color of struggle with yourself or knowing some-one who is struggling with being them-selves, and black the color of lost and losing someone to bullying, or suicide related to bullying. Doing the clothes-pin

story this year sent a very strong mes-sage to the people here at Cabrini. It was heartwarming but also painful to see some of the colors but I believe everyone needed to see that not everyone’s life is easy and full of joy, some people are hurt, some are struggling and others have lost very important people in their lives.

It was amazing to see all the people who have survived and also who sup-port the LGBT community, it warms my heart to know that people do care here at Cabrini and will stand up for a great cause. On this Day of Silence, more than 10 students whore shirts over 20 were silent, and all together we stood over 30 strong, with a few students being silent and other joining us as vocal allies throughout the day. At 4:30 p.m. all who participated in the Day of Silence and also those who wanted joined, gathered together to break the silence of the day. At four o’clock music was played, to go with this year’s theme “follow the music”. With the song “Rise” by !e McClain Sisters playing, everyone who heard came and joined us. At 4:30 p.m with all of stu-dents who were silent and the vocal allies around it was time to break the silence. With one loud scream given by each stu-dent the silence was broken and our mes-sage was heard. After the breaking of the silence everyone was able to share their feelings about this day whether they were silent or a vocal ally. I personally shared my own story, about my life of being bul-lied through middle and high school and losing some family members because of my life style. My color is yellow with red stripes because I am a survivor.

!e point is for everyone to speak up and be heard. Being apart of student diversity, I want this day to be more than a few students and faculty members. Our plan is make sure that next April, the school is covered in red and stories are heard for those we have lost. Our goal is to have their stories and legacy live on.

Letter to the Editor:What will you do to end the silence?

Day of Silence raises campus awarenessCabrini College takes a walk in the right direction.

“Before it got to Cabrini, I had followed the orga-nization, as it’s a national organization based in n Florida,” Suchy said. “I really like the way that they structure their events with poetry, music and a lot of cathartic arts.”

According to their web-site, “To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-pro$t move-ment dedicated to present-ing hope and $nding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.” !ey try to bring hope and inspire those who may be in a tough situation, emo-tionally or physically.

“In my freshman year, we sat down and decided that we needed a big spring event,” Suchy said. “It was decided that To Write Love on Her Arms would be a good shot.”

!e $rst two To Write Love on Her Arms events turned out to be highly successful for both Active

Minds and the students on campus. !e

night served as a remind-er that even when times get tough, they will get

better and there is no need to lose hope.

“!ere was really no other opportunity for stu-dents to tell their stories and that’s a very impor-

tant part of healing,” Suchy said.

“At $rst while sitting at the table, I was upset because it seemed like people just wanted to ignore the fact that others who identify with the LGBT commu-nity don’t have a problem, or maybe they didn’t have two min-utes to spare out their day to her some information that they may have been curious about,” Davis said.

It was clear that the day was to highlight the silence that LGBT people face in their day-to-day lives through the many vocal and silent allies.

“I want people to have the same experience I did and have the right to be out if they feel comfortable enough,” John Eddings, sophomore biology major, said.

From 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 20, those who vowed to be silent did so in honor of the LGBT community. !e O&ce of Student Diversity collaborated with the o&ce of Student Diversity and SEaL to form a committee to plan the day and what it entailed.

“During the day, I felt a little hesitant to put the tape on my mouth because I did not want people to stare at me but as the day progressed I gained more con$dence,” Gleaves said.

Several students also decided to be vocal allies for the day.

“I choose to be a vocal ally I have friends and family who are a part of the LGBT community and it scares me the things they have to go through, but it annoys me even more that people refuse to recognize injustice when they

The American Cancer Society’s ‘Relay for Life’ fun-draising event took place at Cabrini on Saturday, April 21, in the Dixon Center. Focused on raising money and aware-ness for cancer, this 12-hour life-saving event gave stu-dents the chance to donate money, help people stay well and get well by $nding cures and $ghting back.

Everyone has their own personal reason why they go to Relay for Life and why they donate to relay. Whether one of their family members was diagnosed with cancer, or if one of their friends is a survivor, or if they just knew one person who passed away from cancer, all participants were united under the com-mon cause of raising aware-ness and funding.

Games were supplied for students to join in right from the start. Check-in began at 3:00 p.m., with the events ranging from walleyball, Wii gaming, a campus-wide scav-enger hunt, a Jeopardy-like game. !e ever-popular rave, which has served tradition-ally as the closing segment of Cabrini’s Relay for Life, took place at from 2:30 a.m. until 3:30 a.m. Food, drinks and other refreshments were pro-vided throughout the whole night.

“It was fun to stay up all night,” Veronica Smith, fresh-man biology major and a member of Team Delta XI Phi, said. “But there are a lot of us who have personal rea-sons why we relay.”

Besides the food, music and games there were cer-emonies held during which people silently remembered their loved ones lost. !e survivorship ceremony rec-ognized cancer survivors in Cabrini’s midst. In addi-tion to this was the care-taker ceremony, which rec-ognized caretakers of those who battled cancer and the Luminaria ceremony, during which lost ones were recog-nized with a name on one of countless bags, out of all of which shined symbolic lights. All of these ceremonies were very powerful.

“We were happy to go and support our teammate Tim Sayles,” Connor Quigley, a member of the Men’s Basketball team, said. “It was his night and he worked really hard for it.”

During this year’s event, Cabrini raised just over $16,000 with about 318 par-ticipants.

EPIC WEEK 2012

Above: Over 100 students showed up to play Bingo during EPIC week. Bottom left : CapBoard members with magician Danny Weiser. Students at Chef’s Fair. Top left: Cap Board members at headphone disco. Students at Big Prize Bingo. Bottom: Freshman, Jason Williams freshman business major, holds a t-shirt that he won.

CAP Board plans events all year long and in the spring, a week of larger-scale events are planned that are just, well…EPIC! From Monday, April 16, to Saturday, April 21, CAP Board’s EPIC celebrated its third birthday with a week of events all involving entertainment of a youthful theme.

!e slogan for EPIC 2012 was “It’s my party and I’ll _____ if I want to.”

!e “It’s my party” theme was chosen because this year marked the third anni-versary of EPIC. Ali !ompson, senior marketing major, and Courtney Abel, senior education major, who planned EPIC, thought the idea of a third birthday would be a fun idea.

“I loved this year’s theme. I thought it was simple, cute and fun,” !ompson said.

"!is year’s theme was great. I liked how it was a birthday for EPIC," James Brooks, sophomore criminology/sociology major, said.

"I really enjoyed this year’s theme. I think it was a chance to bring out that little kid in all of us," Rachel Layden, sopho-more English major, said.

Some of the week’s events were planned because they were very popular in past years and students wanted to see them return to campus. However, new events and performers were planned to change things up and give students something new and exciting that they haven’t seen before. Some events were included in EPIC because they were scheduled by other organizations.

At each event, EPIC 2012 t-shirts were given away to a few lucky attendees.

EPIC 2012 was kicked o" with Magic Monday on April 16 in Grace Hall. !e event involved magician Danny Weiser and an EPIC party. Before the event started, Weiser went to Cav’s Corner and Jazzman’s to give sneak pre-views of magic tricks. At 7:30 p.m. childhood party games such as hop-scotch, piñata, twister, etc., were played. After the festive games were over, Danny Weiser took the stage for a magic show and wowed the crowd with mind-boggling tricks.

“I loved Magic Monday,” Layden said. “I liked it because I got to talk to the magician, Danny Weiser and I got to show him around the campus so he could do teasers,” Layden said.

Tuesday, April 17 was the Chef’s Fare in Cav’s Corner. Cabrini’s chefs pre-pared Asian cuisine for the students and faculty. While eating, students and faculty were able to enjoy Top 40 hits being played. Cap Board had a ra#e for a chance to win a prize.

“I enjoyed the food in the cafeteria. I am the type of person that likes to try new things and this was a great way to be able to,” Layden said.

Wacky Wednesday brought comedian, Eric O’Shea, to campus. !is event was set-up like a comedy club with dinner and mocktails before O’Shea took the stage.

Once O’Shea started his act, no one in the audience could stop themselves from laughing.

O’Shea introduced his act by referring to Cabrini as a “cute school” with “magical unicorns, leprechauns and deer running around.”

O’Shea’s descrip-tion and observation of Cabrini’s quiet, suburban, wooded-area appearance got students and fac-ulty bursting out into laughter.

O’Shea won the crowd over with his signature Elmo impression.

“Eric O'Shea was absolutely amazing and I would want to see him again,” Jordann Bichler, sophomore graphic design major, said.

“He kept the crowd entertained and laughing the entire time. My favorite part was when he did

Elmo and the commercials at the end,” Bichler said.

Big Prize Bingo was the most anticipat-ed event of EPIC. Big Prize Bingo is di"er-ent from regular bingo games throughout the year because all of the prizes are over $100. On !ursday, April 19 Big Prize Bingo returned to campus with a twist. CAP Board scheduled a company to run the game. !ere were two performers who

aimed to give the game of bingo a comedic twist.

However, students did not respond well to the performers’ humor. Attendees just wanted to hear the numbers called and win prizes. Prizes won at Big Prize Bingo included, an iPod touch, $100 gas card, a Blue Ray player, American Express gift card and an iPod docking station.

Friday, April 20 was the Headphone Disco, a brand new event. !e concept of a headphone disco is that there are two DJ’s playing two di"erent genres of music. Everyone is given wireless headphones and can change stations at any time just by $ipping a switch on the headphone, the quirk being that you don’t know what station the person you’re dancing with is listening to.

“I thought headphone disco was great. It was an awesome time. Everybody had a blast and once they understood the con-cept, they had as much fun or even more than the EPIC volunteers. !e DJ's were very good and they worked o" each other. !ey were funny too,” Brooks said.

EPIC 2012 ended Saturday, April 21, with the school coming together for Relay for Life.

“I feel like there is always room for improvement, but I am so happy with the events we had and how the week went,” !ompson said.

"I thought EPIC went o" without a hitch and was very successful this year ,” Brooks said. “Everybody had fun that came to the events."

!e fast paced and judgmental world of fashion, or any media outlet, can sway an adult’s opinion of their body image. Imagine being in that world as a child and how that can become the only identity that you ever knew.

From a child commercial actress to working fashion week in New York with various photographers, Jenna LoMenzo, sophomore education major, began working for a modeling agency at a young age. !rough her model-ing career, LoMenzo began becoming very self-conscious about her body and developed an eating disorder.

At the age of 13, LoMenzo was asked to move to Los Angeles, Ca. to model professionally. She chose not to move because she knew her past struggles with eating disorders and body image issues would reoccur if she continued working in that industry.

“I did struggle with eating disorders every once in a while less serious than others, and it is something that really is hard to avoid in this industry. Instead of falling into this pressure and world, I stopped,” LoMenzo said.

Poor body image, increasing eating disorders and the need to look like models on television are increasing in today’s society.

Eight million women worldwide su"er from body image disorders, according to the National Eating Disorders Association. !e media, television, fashion and #lm have a lot to do with the portrayal of poor body image in many young girls and women to National Eating Disorders Association.

“Media portrays a false image, unrealistic image, of what women’s bodies should look like but within media there is a counter culture and other di"erent kinds of media that portray di"erent more realistic images,” Dr. Michelle Filling, assistant professor of English, said in a body image documentary conducted by Felicia Melvin, senior communicaton major.

!eresa Agro, junior education major, has been dancing since the age of 5 and has auditioned for the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders, Sixers Dance Team, and Philadelphia Soulmates.

“You can be a beautiful dancer and not be thin. But in the professional dance world there is a lot of pressure to be thin and perfect. Especially the out#ts many of the

dance team wears which puts pressure on you to #t how they want you to look,” Agro said.

!e Dove Campaign for Real Beauty highlights the need for women to stray away from ideas of Photoshop and show their real beauty.

!e campaign has commenced an open dialogue globally for a need for better body images in women and a new description of beauty, which is a continuation of the previous campaign started a number of years ago.

To this day, LoMenzo worries about her body image. Coming from a real modeling backgrounds she grew up in a lifestyle where watching your weight was more impor-tant than anything else.

“Imagine walking into auditions or a room being told you can’t do the photo shoot unless you drop like, 10 pounds at 115 already, or being told get a nose job to #x your bump, or hide your ears,” LoMenzo said.

In early March, Yahoo published an article titled “Supermodels without Photoshop,” which publicized Photoshop and airbrush that showed what three celebrity models looked like behind the makeup and Photoshop.

“It is about being tall, skinny and then also to get to this point girls have to have eating disorders, take diet pills, resort to eating nothing. Society views this as beautiful in the fashion industry and in the media so much that it is such a negative and untrue portrayal of beautiful women,” LoMenzo said.

Nicole Dele, junior theater major at Lindenwood University, experiences #rsthand the harsh realities of society’s rough hand toward actresses and the need to be thin in today’s society. Dele has been in over 30 produc-tions and appeared in a commercial a year ago.

“It is portrayed as if I am not completely beautiful until I am size 8. !ey may see me as beautiful, but I may get a comment like ‘you would be so much prettier if you were skinnier’,” Dele said.

Dele believes the theater and #lm industry has grown a lot from what it used to be but there is still a stigma that to be beautiful you need to be skinny. Dele worries a great deal about her weight when going on casting calls for stage acting.

“Big girls, like myself, get more work as a mother or older #gure. At times that may not be what I want but that’s how they would see me,” Dele said.

“My real hopes one day is for modeling to be more open and put girls with curves and unique bodies on cov-ers of magazines, and to help girls not have to take drastic measures to be beautiful, it isn’t necessary,” LoMenzo said.

How To:Lock straight hair

!ere are many ways to lock hair. No way is better than the next since everyone’s hair is di"erent. It all really just depends on your hair’s texture and characteristics.

Many people from all over the world have dreadlocks or locks. People from Africa, India, the Caribbean, as well as North and South America have dreadlocks. Even people of European descent have dreadlocks.

!e #rst recognition of dreadlocks is from Africa. !ere are many ways to refer to dreadlocks. Another common name for them are locks or locs. Locks have been very controversial in the past but over the years have become more acceptable.

Still, institutions such as Loma Linda University School of Allied Health Professions has no dreadlocks for men or women as one of their personal grooming requirements.

!e most common ways to lock your hair consist of coils, back-combing, two-strand twist, lock extensions, braids and free-forming.

!ere are also di"erent ways to maintain your hair… or not for lack of better terms. !ese methods include palm-rolling, latching and free forming. As well as many ways to start locks there are di"erent styles you can lock your hair.

Some di"erent types of locks, include sister locks, brother locks and free-forming locks.

Some people lock their hair because of religious reasons. Rastafarians are most famous for their free-forming dreadlocks.

You may be familiar with the late famous Jamaican singer Bob Marley. He was a Rastafarian and wore dreadlocks.

Rastafarians believe that a man’s strength lies in his hair just like Sampson the Nazarite from the Bible. If they cut their hair they believe they are surrendering their strength.

!is belief comes from the book of Leviticus 21:5 in the Bible. !is verse talks about not cutting their hair or their beards.

!e featured technique for locking hair uses the “backcombing technique.”!is technique is recommended for people with naturally straight hair only. Supplies

include a comb and three hair ties to hold hair back.

Season 3 ended with the Gorga’s and Giudices taking a nice family portrait but drama still lin-gered between the ladies as Caroline, Melissa and Kathy read the un%attering things Teresa said about them in her latest cookbook, “Fabulicious.” She said that Caroline was as Italian as the Olive Garden and her sister-in-law, Melissa, was a copy-cat. #ese harsh words made the premiere of sea-son 4 begin on an unsettling note.

#e premiere began with the Gorgas and Wakiles at a family barbeque doing what they do best, bashing Teresa. #ey revealed to Teresa’s brother, Joe Gorga, the rude things his sister said about his wife and cousin.

#e entire scene seemed a little too staged and if it wasn’t they all need to get a hobby and stop constantly talking about Teresa. Kathy Wakiles’ husband even said, “I think we should burn the bitch on a stake.” Who says these things? If she didn’t kill your entire family or set your house on "re why would you want to burn her? You would think Teresa’s book was the most controversial book of the century.

#e scene then turns to a gathering at Jacqueline’s home and when Teresa arrived at her home no one was excited to see her. Caroline’s children gave her dirty looks as she walked through the kitchen talking about the corn Caroline was cooking.

Teresa was in a tough predicament with her co-stars and when she tried to apologize to Caroline, as the families gathered at Jacqueline’s home, about the comments in her book, Caroline brushed her o$ and told her “a little thing called loyalty is clearly lacking.”

Teresa once again showed that she is physi-cally incapable to apologize or feel compassion for anyone but herself and she didn’t understand why Caroline was so upset about the comments that

she thought was a joke “funny funny.”Once again the show wouldn’t be the same if

there wasn’t any Ashlee drama. We found that the radical teen changed her name from Ashley to Ashlee, her hair color to blonde and she draped her body with tattoos. As the show reached a climactic turn Chris, Jacqueline’s husband, tells Ashlee she has to move to Las Vegas or be kicked out on the street. What makes no sense is that Jacqueline sits in the other room playing with the couple’s youngest child, breathing the statement “make the right choice Ashlee.” Maybe this child is so bad because her mother is afraid of her and if you have a troublesome teen why send them to Sin City?

We then saw big bad bu$ Joe Giudice attack again as he blatantly told Teresa and her children he was cheating on her. He said he was hanging out with women in Atlantic City the night before they left for a family shore vacation. Teresa still stands by her man as he distances her from her family and worries about going to jail for identity fraud. When Teresa told Joe Giudice about their oldest daughter reading in tabloids the couple is getting a divorce, Joe is cheating and being sent to prison he nonchalantly says, “that’s the life you picked.”

#e episode ended with Joe Gorgo speaking to his sister Teresa about the ‘In Touch’ magazine article and telling her if Joe Guidice were sent to jail he would be there for her. #at statement opened up a whole new can of beans and Teresa became defensive and said Gorgo didn’t even call Teresa or the children when Joe went to jail for a week.

#e only fun part of the episode was the can-did statement by Milania. She called her sister a “stupid whore” and screamed to her dad “ you are like a dragon.” She was de"nitely the comic relief in the episode.

“Fairly traded gifts, home decor, art and sculptures handcrafted by articans around the world.”

Traveling across the waters one would bring home great handcrafted !ndings. Shop-ping at a normal “thrifty” restoring store, you may buy an item that was found and mass reproduced for the bene!t of the corporation. Hidden behind the craziness of the cliché of the vintage buying stream, Ten "ousand Villages stands for the artisans who work hard to improve their lives and those of their o#spring.

"is is the brand that takes pride in being a non-pro!t company. Edna Ruth Byler did not imagine her trip to Puerto Rico would become the beginning of a chain of stores with a purpose and founding a movement that forever bene!ts lives forever. "e store in the Court of King of Prussia Mall is one of 73 in a chain of stores in the United States.

"is grassroots company cares about the ethically treat-ment behind every product produced. From the hands that labored it to the materials used to construct it, each detail is handled delicately.

Each buyer receives a 50 percent payment upfront, mean-ing before the product is produced the artisan is paid direct-ly. "e paint and dye used is plant-based. Many products in the store are from completely recycled materials.

"e o$cial Ten "ousand Villages stated on its website that the capital allows artisan groups to purchase equipment and raw materials without going into debt by taking out loans with high interest rates.

Liz VanArtsdalen, store manager of Ten "ousand Villages, takes pride in the com-

pany’s way of reasoning. “If you leave out one element you lose the entire idea,” VanArts-dalen is said. “We all as a group defend the Fair Trade method.”

One can !nd things for their homes, to spice up their out!ts, or to make a loved one smile.

Here, as many other Ten "ousand Villages, you can !nd beautiful handcrafted ele-ments at a reasonable price. "e hands that create these unique works of art work with the company closely.

In terms of fair trade, the site gives its thoughts on fair price and establishing long-term relationships.

With only three outside vendors, the company knows all the individual buyers personally. Unlike in a larger corpora-tion, if a buyer has to halt production for a death in the fam-ily because of a cultural barrier, each case is respected. "e buyer does not lose the project.

VanArtsdalen explained how the company just encoun-tered an issue exactly like this: a buyer lost a family member. Instead of discounting the project the company had compas-sion and respected the culture’s grieving period.

Ten "ousand Villages makes a di#erence in not only in-dividual lives but also the world. By decreasing carbon foot-prints, each item is unique by having its own !ngerprint, for it is not made by machine but by man.

Hill’s passion, leadership drives Cavs toward CSAC title

OFF THE FIELD WITH BRIAN HILL1. What is your favorite food?

- Cheesesteaks.

2. What kinds of music do you listen to?

- I’m a real big Jay-Z fan.

3. In terms of personality, how would your coaches describe you?

- I hope they like to think I’m a hard worker and unselfish.

4. What are your future lacrosse plans?

- I play summer league every year so I’ll probably continue to do that.

5. Who is your favorite professional athlete?

- Michael Vick (Eagles quarterback) and Chase Utley (Phillies second baseman).

6. What do you like to do in your free time?

- I love watching sports and hanging with my buddies.

Few players on the men’s lacrosse team have been as instrumental as senior attack Brian Hill.

According to the Cabrini Athletics website, Hill had 81 goals coming into the 2012 season, which was good enough for the 11th-most goals in the history of the pro-gram. As of press time, he has added 32 goals to that total, good enough for !fth-most.

“I’ve been playing since I was in second grade,” Hill said. “My older brother Steve started playing with all of his buddies so I picked up a stick and started playing.”

Hill actually had prior knowledge of the Cavaliers’ lacrosse program before making the decision to play here, as his brother played here.

“At the time he played here, so I knew about [Cabrini] before I even started the recruiting process,” Hill said. “Once that came about, I knew a lot about the school.”

Hill has been a main !xture in head coach Steve Colfer’s lineup for the past several championships. "e four-year varsity starter has been instrumental in winning Colonial States Athletic Association titles for the past three seasons and looks to add one more prior to graduation.

If Colfer would like to win his 12th-consecutive CSAC title, he has a respectable player in Hill.

“Brian is a great kid. He’s the kind of kid that leads by his actions,” Colfer said. “[He’s a] blue collar, just-grind-it-out type of player.”

While Colfer enjoys the opportunity to have Hill in his lineup, teammates such as senior mid!elder Andrew Zelinski like the opportunity to play alongside Hill as well.

“He doesn’t really mess up too much,” Zelinski jokingly said. “He’s a nice leader on and o# the !eld.”

Hill’s coaches and teammates do enjoy the opportu-nity to work with him, but he is not sure how he would be described.

“I hope they’d like to think I’m hard-working and unsel!sh,” Hill said.

When he’s not in the classroom or breaking records on the lacrosse !eld, Hill has multiple hobbies.

“I love watching sports, especially Philadelphia sports,” Hill said. “I like to just hang out with my buddies.”

Hill also describes himself as a fan of the classic Philadelphia cheesesteak. When the men’s lacrosse team held a scrimmage with cheesesteaks on the line on Wednesday, April 11, Hill found himself on the team that won the cheesesteaks.

“I was pretty excited,” Hill laughingly said. “I was the big winner.”

Following graduation in May, the business administra-tion major would like to follow that path.

“I’m going to try and get an internship this summer and see how that goes,” Hill said. “I’m not really positive on what I want to do yet, but for right now I just want to get my foot in the door and go from there.”

While Hill may be graduating soon, he still wants to continue playing the sport he enjoys.

“I play in a summer league every year, so I’ll probably just continue to do that,” Hill said.

While he still strives to continue with lacrosse, the sport has left him with a lifetime’s worth of memories. However, picking one favorite is di$cult for him.

“I have a lot. I would just say being out here with these guys every day,” Hill said. “I’ve met so many people, kids who already graduated, kids on the team now this year. It’s nice getting all of these connections and meeting all of these people.”

Hill has contributed a signi!cant amount to the Cavaliers men’s lacrosse program over the past several of years. It could be considered an understatement that his work ethic will be missed.

“Every team needs guys like Brian, so we’re happy to have him,” Colfer said.

Cabrini’s ‘Fab Four’ leading the way for lacrosse

!e four remaining seniors on Cabrini College’s elite lacrosse team have a story and a past that goes beyond the turf.

Captains John McSorley and Brian Hill both attended Ridley High School in Folsom, Pa. where they played against their other senior teammates Joe Arrell and Andrew Zelinski.

“We have always respected each other as players,” Zelinski said. “We all played in winning programs and we were the playo" teams,”

Zelinski attended Downingtown East High School where he took the title of State Champion his junior year.

Arrell, a team captain, attended Spring#eld (Delco) High School. Ridley High School was walking distance from his house.

“I could hear the Ridley’s football games’ cheers from my backyard,” Arrell said. “I’ve played against John and Brian my whole life.”

McSorley has o"ered the Cavaliers much dedication and talent receiving USILA Honorable Mention All-American accolades, CSAC First Team Honors in both 2010 and 2011; and not to mention CSAC Rookie of the Year in 2009. Growing up, McSorley played against Arrell in bas-ketball and lacrosse.

“Me and Joe would always cover each other, in both sports,” McSorley said. “After #nding out he was coming to Cabrini along with Brian and me, we all talked during the summer and were extremely excited.”

!e mutual friends who were once rivals entered Cabrini and have de#nitely made their mark, helping Cabrini claim the sixth seed in the nation along with their 88-game CSAC winning streak.

Attack Brian Hill tallied his 100th career goal on Saturday, March 24, after an impressive performance of a career-high #ve goals, four assists, and nine points leading the Cavaliers with a 24-1 win over Shenandoah.

“I’ve watched Brian grow since fresh-man year when he was playing mid#eld,” McSorley said. “He stepped into lefty attack with no setback after Scott Reimer graduated. Each year Brian grew until he turned into the great player he is today.”

Currently, Hill ranks seventh in pro-gram history with 171 points and with 114 career goals. He is #fth on Cabrini’s all-time goal list.

!e accomplished Hill is as much impressed with McSorley’s achievements.

“John used to start at o"ense,” Hill said. “His transition into defender was an amaz-ing thing to watch considering how late he started at that position and now he is

one of the best defense of players in the nation.”

!e close seniors’ story doesn’t end there. After a long day of practice or a lengthy bus ride, the boys retreat back to the home they share in Conshohocken, Pa.

Out of the original 17 from their recruit-ing class, they remain the only solid four.

“We’re not just teammates, we are all great friends,” McSorley said. “Living together as the only four left, I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

!e Cavaliers close out their regular season on Saturday, April 28, when they face Gwynedd-Mercy College in a CSAC match at 12 p.m. A win would give the Cavaliers a perfect season against CSAC opponents.

OUTTA’ RIGHT FIELD

RANSOM COZZILLIO

Basketball purgatory

Well that was certainly…interesting. As of this article’s writing, the 76ers of Philadelphia have just recently mathemati-cally guaranteed their spot in the 2012 NBA playo!s. By the time this appears in print, those same Sixers will be one meaningless game against the lowly Detroit Pistons away from the start of the playo!s. Instead of optimism driven by our top-8 "nish, I feel only sad Deja Vu.

Isn’t this just a tad bit too familiar? If it is, that’s only because this is roughly the posi-tion we have found ourselves year in and year out for the past 11 seasons. Ever since Allen Iverson dragged a scrappy defensive minded team featuring casto!s such as George Lynch and Tyrone Hill to the 2001 NBA "nals, we have been stuck somewhere before second and third gear: hovering somewhere around .500, never falling far enough to draft a game-changer and never able to pull out enough stops to truly contend.

Never the bridesmaid nor the bride. #ere is no worse place to be than the middle in the NBA. Teams that bottom out are rewarded with high draft picks, and through them, the chance at superstars. Look at Oklahoma City, terrible for years on end, but gifted with opportunity to choose Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

Very good teams compete for championships and are therefore the destination of coveted free agents and trade action. #ink of the Spurs’ or Lakers’ decades long reign. (#e spurious variable in all this is that the consistently good teams generally have good management, which helps.)

For everyone else and notably the 76ers, basketball purgatory. Too good to bottom out, not tal-ented enough to truly compete. #is has been the case for the 7-6 since that ill-fated champion-ship run. Since then, we’ve never picked higher than 9th overall (netting us Andre Iguodala, not exactly a savior). And not having a true “leader” since Iverson left.

#e Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks and their ilk have languished in the unhappy middle for the past decade or more and now it seems the Sixers "nd themselves mired in the same tar pit of mediocrity.

So, after the Sixers started the season white hot and then promptly regressed back to the pack to enter the playo!s as either the 7 or 8 seed, and likely exit 5-6 games later, no I am not happy. #is reeks of last season, last decade. Losing sucks but mediocrity abides. Someone press the restart already.

Despite losing to the Marywood University Pacers by a score of 8-1 on Saturday, April 21, Cabrini’s men’s tennis team clinched the No. 2 spot in the CSAC playo!s.

Marywood took all three doubles matches and won "ve out of six singles competitions. Senior Nate Martin earned Cabrini’s only point of the day with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Marywood’s Ryan Mulqueen.

In the loss, junior Ryan Juhring and senior Justin Lutteroty saw their perfect CSAC records come to an end. #ey had entered the day with 6-0 conference records.

Juhring fell to Wyatt Nolan by a 6-2, 6-3 score and Ethan Jones defeated Lutteroty 6-0, 6-1. Freshman Anthony DiCicco fell to 4-3 in CSAC play with a 6-3, 6-2 loss to Todd Duran of the Pacers.

Just one day earlier, the Cavs earned a 9-0 victory over Rosemont College to pick up their sixth win of the spring. DiCicco, Lutteroty, Juhring and Martin joined senior Ian Monson and sophomore John Giovanelli with victories in singles play. For Giovanelli, it was his "rst victory of 2012.

With a regular season of 6-13, the Cavs used their 6-1 mark in conference play to reach the playo!s for the second straight season. Last spring, the Cavs fell to Marywood, this year’s No. 1 seed, by a score of 5-0.

Cabrini’s "rst-round playo! match will take place on Friday, April 27, against Baptist Bible College. #e match will be held at the Northwood Racquet Club in Easton, Pa.

Lady Cavs clinch bye, Doubet scores 7

"e women’s lacrosse team scored a 21-18 win over the Gwynedd-Mercy College Gri#ns at Edith Robb Dixon Field on Saturday, April 21.

"e win concluded the team’s CSAC schedule for the regular season. "e Lady Cavs !nish the season with a 7-1 conference record. "e win also improved the Lady Cavs to 7-8 overall on the season.

Cabrini fell behind in the early stages of the game, al-lowing !ve of the !rst seven goals. "ree straight goals for the Lady Cavs in three minutes tied the score at !ve just over 10 minutes into the game.

"e Gri#ns would net three of the next four goals to retake a two goal lead. A pair of goals by sophomore de-fenseman/mid!elder Suzanne Gennaro and senior attack Jacky McDermott tied the score in the last 90 seconds of the half to bring the score even at eight.

"ose two late !rst-half goals were clearly a turning point for the Lady Cavs, who emerged from halftime to score the next six goals.

Freshman attack/mid!elder Lacie Doubet posted a career game. With the Gri#ns !ghting to rally, Doubet scored three goals in 44 seconds to extend Cabrini’s lead

to 19-11, a lead they would not relinquish. Her seven goals on the game were a new career high.

Doubet also reached the 40-goal plateau in the game. She has a team-leading 43 goals. It is the !rst time she has ever reached the milestone.

“No, not 40,” Doubet said of her season total. “"is is my best season so far.”

“She’s ridiculous,” McDermott said. “I played with her in high school and she was awesome but she’s really picked it up in college. I think she’s de!nitely going to be a huge player for the rest of her four years here.”

Both Doubet and McDermott are graduates of Ridley High School. Even though this is their !rst season playing on the !eld together, the freshman and senior have chem-istry that is often hard to !nd.

“She hits me all the time with great passes and I do the same,” Doubet said.

“We don’t even have to talk,” McDermott said. “We just know where each other is going to be on the !eld.”

Doubet wasn’t the Lady Cavs only contributor. Fresh-man attack/mid!elder Melissa Scanzano also posted a hat trick and added an assist. McDermott !nished with three goals and two assists. Sophomore attack Sarah Means also added a hat trick.

“"ey are a delight to have on the team this year,” 16th-

year head coach Jackie Neary said. “We want to take care of this year but they give me high hopes for the future.”

"e Gri#ns did mount a comeback late in the second half, scoring !ve unanswered goals in the last 8:14 of the half to cut the lead to three. But Cabrini managed to hold on for the win, which sealed the second seed in the up-coming CSAC tournament. Cabrini will open the tourna-ment in the semi!nals on Tuesday, May 1, after a !rst-round bye.

“I think it was key holding onto second place,” Neary said. “Ultimately, our goal last year when we lost was to get back to the playo$s this year so we’ve gotten to goal number one.”

"e Lady Cavs real goals lie in the CSAC tournament. In order to reach them, there is still work to be done.

“Even though we won today, we also had a serious talk afterwards about things that need to be cleaned up,” Neary said. “I wouldn’t be doing my job as a coach if I wasn’t looking ahead, and that’s what I’m doing right now is looking ahead to prepare.”

“We’re looking forward to getting revenge on the teams that whooped us,” McDermott said. “We’re a completely di$erent team from the beginning of the season to now.”
