Scramble for housing

By Jaclyn Freese | March 18, 2004
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 controversy of the one-sided media

By Jaclyn Freese | February 26, 2004
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.

People losing their culture and parish

By Jaclyn Freese | December 4, 2003
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.

By Jaclyn Freese | December 4, 2003
It is finally here. The third installment of arguably one of the most famous and profitable movie trilogies of all time will come to theaters on Wednesday, Dec. 17 -"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." There is a certain stigma attached to the Rings' movies, like there is to the Star Wars and Harry Potter movies.

Fight for freedom of information

By Jaclyn Freese | November 13, 2003
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.

Shocked by stupidity

By Jaclyn Freese | October 16, 2003
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.

By Jaclyn Freese | February 13, 2003

Cream of the Coffeehouse

By Jaclyn Freese | February 6, 2003

This, among many other things, came from the mouths of singer Chinua Hawk and his Swiss minstrel Michel Kuntz at Cabrini's Coffeehouse, held on Wednesday Jan. 29, in the Wig Wam by the Campus Activities Programming Board. Hawk, who has worked with Celine Dion and Wyclef Jean and is known for his poetic lyrics, exchanged jabs with Kuntz all night in front of an audience of close to 90 Cabrini students.

CAC desk annoying

By Jaclyn Freese | November 21, 2002
It seems as though Cabrini has put a front desk in the Cabrini Apartment Complex. If this isn't treating adults like children, I do not know what is. Putting a front desk in the CAC is preposterous. The students in the CAC choose the apartments because Cabrini advertises the CAC as "independent living.

By Jaclyn Freese | November 7, 2002
Even though Pearl Jam's style of music has changed drastically from when their first album Ten came out, Eddie Vedder's profound lyrics and heartfelt delivery of them has not changed.

Clearly the standout songs on Riot Act are the songs where Vedder and his counterparts Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Matt Cameron and Jeff Ament slow down the tempo.

By Jaclyn Freese | October 31, 2002
Campus smokers are fully aware of the rising cost of cigarettes, yet a good majority of them are still smoking. In April 2002, the cigarette industry raised cigarette prices by 14 percent per pack, bringing most states to $4 a pack.
