Effects of binge drinking greater than realized

With the recent annual event of Spring Fling, came with it the annual day of binge drinking for many Cabrini students. Many of the students start drinking early in the afternoon and continued well into the night. The majority of the time college students do not realize the effects of binge drinking.

For better or for worse?

Cabrini College will be celebrating the end of the semester with the traditional event of Spring Fling on Saturday, April 24. However compared to previous years, this year there will be some major changes. Throughout the past two years Cabrini has been trying to make changes to better the campus.

Master’s degrees in low demand

Since 1996 the number of people who received their master's degrees has decreased by 3.4 percent. Many people are going for their master's because they are not as in high demand and more common than they were in the 1990s. Many people are getting higher degrees and many fields of work are becoming more competitive due to the fact that everyone is at the same skill level.

Healthy living

With all the different diets on the market who can decide what is healthy? There are many ways to stay healthy without cutting carbohydrates or counting points.

Start moving and stop your complaining

Get Involved! This is now a Cabrini symbol that is featured on many flyers, posters and other publications. Getting involved is just what Cabrini wants students to do. If students do not get involved, how do they expect things to change? It seems to me that college students are the first people to complain about everything, but the last people to do anything about it.

Iadarola dines with student leaders

Memorial site on the way

The bright colors of red, white and blue still fly over a site that everyone has all come to know as Ground Zero.

Freshmen get first taste of college life

The sweltering heat did not stop eager parents and freshmen from unpacking their cars on freshman move-in day. Packed cars lined up in front of Xavier and Woodcrest, as parents waited to unload their children and prepare them for a new chapter in their lives.

Early vandalism caused by freshmen or phantom students

There was way too much destruction the first weekend back to campus and can some of it be blamed on the new students on campus-the freshmen? Sure it was the first time everyone was together in a long time, but does not give people the right to break windows or tear down decorations or have a Public Safety officer sent to the hospital.

Banner, an annoyance to students and faculty

I.D. theft:prevention key

Prevent before it is too late. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes across the Untied States right now and most times there is nothing one can do about it until it is too late.
