Senior week confusion and costs

One last chance to party with the people we've spent four years with. The events this year sound great. Wednesday is Spirit of Philadelphia, Thursday is a barbecue and Battle of the Sexes, and Friday will be Dorney Park and Dave and Busters. All of the events will cost somewhere around $60 per person.

Vandals cause costly damage to front sign

Between 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 29, public safety officers were notified of a second act of vandalism within two weeks to the sign at the main entrance to Cabrini. The first act on April 16 was easy to clean up because it was latex paint and easily removable.

Donations help soldiers and less fortunate

In light of recent events in our world, Cabrini has pulled together to help make life a little more bearable for those overseas and those less fortunate. Donation boxes around campus have been filled with items, showing the outpouring of support for soldiers as well as people in our communities and around the world.

How real is reality TV?

Congratulations you've won immunity! Well, not quite. The only way you're going to get immunity in the near future from reality tv is to turn off the tube.

History of hate symbols taught to prevent future offenses from happening on Cabrini’s campus

It has often been said that people who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it.

Cabrini Idol’ tops the charts

Judging by the talent on the televised American Idol auditions, Cabrini would have America topped in a heartbeat. Unlike Simon, the judges of Cabrini Idol had little to say in the way of negativity. Held on March 21, Cabrini Idol drew in an impressive crowd that made the Food Court bust at the seams.

One of the few, the proud: Kate Dilworth, USMC

Two months ago, Kate Dilworth was preparing for her new life as a college graduate. She had taken the LSAT exam, finished her classes in December, and was ready for anything the world had to offer her. It turned out that the world was about to ask more of her than she probably anticipated.

Online service forms: a quick fix for facilities

Broken screens, blown out light bulbs and clogged sinks can now be fixed with just a few clicks of the mouse. Facilities has introduced an online service request form that students can access through the Cabrini website. According to Howard Holden, director of facilities, the website has become the primary means of submitting service requests on campus.

Waking up to reality and leaving the comfort zone

It's amazing how most of us spend our entire youth trying to grow up, but once we get there we want to turn around and go back. When you're a child you really have nothing to worry about other than skinned knees and trying to milk a couple of more hours of playtime out of your parents.

Elevated levels of lead are ‘no cause for concern’

Slightly elevated lead levels in the water last semester made it not uncommon to see signs posted in the Mansion that reminded everyone of a popular song by the Dave Matthew's Band. "Don't drink the water," was something that everyone working in the Mansion became used to hearing and the signs in the restrooms became commonplace.
