When it was time to pull numbers for the housing lottery, I pulled 496. The starting number for my class was 492, so I got lucky, very lucky. So lucky, in fact, that I am one of very few current juniors going to be living on campus next year. Something's rotten at Cabrini.

The big news story this week was the release of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." The controversy surrounding the movie has been the "is it Anti-Semitic or isn't it" argument. It's a well-known fact that Gibson's father belongs to a conservative Catholic sect that has denied the Holocaust happened.

I know what it is like to see something that is part of your culture be thrown away like it is trash. I feel for the people of Holy Trinity Parish in Pottstown, Pa., I really do. Holy Trinity is a small parish in the south end of Pottstown, my hometown. It was built by Slovak immigrants 91 years ago and has stood on the same spot ever since.

I'm not one to be really big on the Constitution. I know my basic rights as a U.S. citizen and I know what I can and cannot do as a Pennsylvania citizen. It's a shame the Radnor Police Department does not. When something so significant happens on campus that the police are called, the Loquitur staff immediately looks into it; what has been happening with the crime on campus is an example of this.

It was Thursday, Oct. 9, and I was enjoying a nice evening with my roommate and next door neighbor. We did our thing, had our fun, and went to bed. A nice time was had by all. As I was falling asleep to "Fellowship of the Ring," I heard laughter outside. This is not unusual for a Thursday night at House 5; there's usually good fun going on outside after the parties die down.
