Sport atmosphere completely different on Hawk Hill

As far back as I can remember I've been attending St. Joe's basketball games. After every game, I have vivid memories of rolling down the hill that led to the track after watching Debbie Black dominate as point guard at only about 5-feet-tall. Even the women's games were crowded, although not as packed as the men's; those are games that I will never forget as well.

Editorial: Whose to blame? Administration or students?

If you were a gay student in high school, looking at colleges, would you want to attend somewhere that didn't have an organization or club that is dedicated to other gay students? If you did decide to come to Cabrini and once you were here and realized that you wanted a club that caters to you, would you want to start one? On the other hand, how would you feel if you were walking down the hallway, and as you look to your right, you see two females kissing each other good-bye? Turning the corner, you then come to see two males hand-in-hand as they walk up the steps.

Editorial: Beah inspirese students

Think about your childhood for a minute. What comes to mind? Swing sets, sandboxes and popsicles? For most children, their experiences, the ones they remember anyway, are about their favorite toy at Christmas, or their tee-ball team winning a trophy; all the good memories.

Modernized pageant not so different

One thing I never realized about having a baby was the fact that you really don't have a life. If I'm not at school, I'm home with my daughter. As much as I love every minute of it, when I found myself watching the Miss America pageant on a Saturday night, I knew at that point; I really have no life.

EDITORIAL: Being a volunteer will change your life

Between 2004 and 2006, Philadelphia had an average of 1.2 million volunteers who served 143.3 hours per year according to the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Graduating editor in chief’s ode to time on Loquitur

When I first came to Cabrini I never would have expected how my life would be by the time I was going to graduate. Meeting with Dr. Zurek, also known as "JZ" and him telling me I was going to have to write for the school newspaper all year was not something I was too happy about.

Editorial: Going green is a Fair Trade in the fight against poverty

Poverty. One little word with one big meaning. Although there are many contributing reasons for poverty, issues such as Fair Trade and going green could ultimately aid in the fight against poverty. A poor farmer in Ecuador will not survive as a businessman or human being if the conditions in which he is working are not sanitary and if he does not make enough money for the crops that he is able to cultivate.

Meaning, companies in the information technology capital are turning off their laptops, Blackberrys and iPhones in board meetings so they can concentrate on each other.

Too old to run U.S.

We all love our grandpas, they're nice and always have fun with us, especially when we're smaller. We may love hanging out with them and talking with them,but we may not want them to be in charge of us, raising us the way they were raised with old-fashioned beliefs and maybe not as up-to-date with the technology of today as we are.
