New provost, Powell, discusses goals

NEWS EDITOR
Even though she moved to Allentown
only two months ago, Dr. Betty Powell has already begun work on improving our liberal
arts and adult education programs as our new
provost.
With an appreciation for women’s leadership and liberal arts education, Powell hopes
to put our academic programs in sync with the
new strategic plan.
“My major goal is to get a sense of the
college and understand where the college is
and were it’s going. The strategic plan is large
and powerful, so I want to see where our academics are and how it deals with the [new] academic plan,” Powell said. “I always had the
belief in broad and deep learning, and liberal
arts has always meant that to me. The name
of the game is student success, understanding
what the Cedar Crest students need and giving
them the resources they need,” Powell said.
Powell comes to Cedar Crest and the Allentown community after acting as dean for
six years at Queens University of Charlotte,
N.C. A provost’s main concern is managing
the academic curriculum of the college and
dealing with faculty in regard to academics.

On Friday September 3,
58 professors from the Lehigh
Valley Area displayed artwork
at North Hampton Community
College, south campus.
The artwork will be displayed in the gallery for one
month, and ranges from paintings, to air conditioning ducts
warped into different shapes.
The gallery included different rooms that were numbered and they were all filled
with the different work from
the 58 professors.
Since the layout of the
show was complex and mazelike, visitors were given maps
of the rooms with the names of
the artists showing in each.
The art ranged from photography to installation to
painting to sculpture among
other forms.
Also Monarch dance

Cedar Crest professor Tabitha
Scott, performed during the

Strategic plan
encourages
overall growth
Morgan Keschl
CO-NEWS EDITOR
Cedar Crest hopes to strengthen
women’s leadership and adult education further as President Carmen Twillie Ambar and
the Strategic Planning Committee exercise
their core concerns of the Strategic Plan.
The new strategic plan was adopted in
February 2009 and was approved by the
Board of Trustees as well as faculty and staff
to span from 2010-2017. The new mission
statement of Cedar Crest, which can be accessed on the website, is as follows: “Cedar
Crest College is a liberal arts college for
women dedicated to the education of the next
generation of leaders. Cedar Crest College
educates the whole student, preparing women
for life in a global community.”
Cedar Crest is certainly looking to create
stronger ties to other countries, as this is one
of the 22 new initiatives detailed in the strategic plan. The strategic plan is designed to enhance our position, strengthen our academic
program, and improve experience of our students across campus and beyond our borders.
With the new Global Studies major and a new
Director of Global Initiative, Jenny Weatherford, the college hopes to teach students how
to thrive in our global economy. One of the
hopes for the future of the college would be
to give every student an opportunity to study
abroad, as the idea was considered to work
study abroad into tuition so every student has
the opportunity to travel overseas. However,
this idea is only a consideration for the future.
Beginning this semester, there will be
new academic majors as well as the beginning of the Living Learning Communities.
Besides the Global Studies major, Cedar
Crest is now offering majors in Media Studies and Visual Communications and Legal
Studies, and certificates in Integrated CrossCultural Studies, Strategic Leadership for
Women, Integrated Cross Cultural Studies,
and Case Management. There will also be a
Cooperative Education Program, which will
provide a four year accounting and marketing experience. New graduate programs include a Master’s in Counseling, Reading,
Crime Science, Art Therapy, and Chemistry
Professional Science.
Another hope for the college to thrive on
women’s leadership is to eventually offer a
course first-year students will be required to take on
women’s leadership,
similar to College
Life and Ethical
Life. Ambar believes
that learning also

Brettell collaborated with Cliff Meloan,

This manual has the potential to teach

As quoted in the preface to the manual,
“In your lifetime you might be the first one
at the scene of a crime. Now that you know
what constitutes physical evidence and how
important it is to obtain it in its original state,
you can keep the crowd of onlookers away
from it until the police arrive.” This does not
only affect forensic science students or police
officers, but any person who stumbles across
a crime scene in their life. With TV shows
like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and
Bones gaining popularity, it is important to
realize that real life is different from these
shows, and the concepts learned from this
manual help enforce that realization.

Segal on publishing and presenng
Sarajane Sein
ASSISTANT OPINIONS EDITOR
Dr. Carolyn Segal, professor
of English, has recently published
two poems in the 2River View.
While this is an accomplishment in
itself, that is not all she has been up
to recently. Segal is also set to present her paper, “In a Dystopian Garden: Tropes of Flowers and
Transcendence in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale,” at the
School of Visual Arts’ 24th Annual
National Conference on Liberal
Arts and the Education of Artists.
Held each October in New
York City, the conference is an exciting experience for Segal to look
forward to. She describes the conference as “truly interdisciplinary,”
allowing her to combine trauma
studies and nature, two topics
which she was interested in focus-
ing on. She also teaches an upperlevel English course in the subject
of Trauma Studies.
“It is a subject I’ve been interested in for a while,” Segal explains. She has also written a
column in the Chronicle since
2000.
Pointing out the
importance “for teachers to be lifelong
learners,” Segal got
involved with her
most recent column
topic through a writing workshop she attended. The teacher of
the workshop had suggested that “I do for
food what I do for academics,” Segal explained. This
suggestion stuck with her and she
came up with the idea of a weekly
series of works regarding food.
The two poems which have
been published in The 2River View
are “Vanishing Point” and “The Island Postmaster’s Daughter”.
With regards to the inspiration
for “Vanishing Point”, Segal explains that the place she talks about
within the poem does exist, and that
she discovered it on the fifth day of
things mentioned in the poem, such
as a yard sale, were not present at
this particular location, Segal
brought together different experiences to add to the poetic description.
“Two things have to come together [to create a poem],” Segal
explains, as well as a
“spark.”
In order to write a
successful poem, Segal
feels that the format is
in a way similar to that
of a successful essay.
“There’s the set-up,
there’s the middle –
which is the hardest
part [and the poem
ends with] the turn.”
“You can make a serious point
without being solemn,” she points
out, referring to the ideas established by the turn at the end.

which led to the writing of the
poem. Although several of the
land Postmaster’s Daughter” came
from her childhood. She explains
that she “always wanted to be a
post-mistress of a small island,”
pointing out that she “grew up on
an island” (in New York) and has a
“fondness for that geographical
landscape.”
The memories of her youth
have stayed with her, even though
she has left New York for the rather
landlocked Allentown.
“I got off the island, but I’m always looking to go back,” Segal
says.
Segal’s poems are posted online at http://www.2river.org/ . The
2River View, a competitive online
literary magazine, has been “continuously published since 1996,”
according to their website. Segal's
essays, "Cooking with Mad Men"
and “My Diet, C’est Moi,” also recently appeared online at One for
the Table and The Huffington Post.
Meade writes chapter on gender selecon
Jessica Kuc
NEWS EDITOR
While Dr. Elizabeth Meade,
professor of Philosophy, commonly shares her knowledge in the
classroom, her work will now
serve to teach ethical issues to students and interested readers all
over the country. Meade was asked
to contribute a chapter in a recently published textbook entitled
“The Ethics of the Family,” and
gladly obliged.
“It’s intended as a textbook for
a fairly wide variety of applied
ethics courses,” Meade said, explaining that applied ethics courses
cover many general ethical issues
concerning moral theory.
Her chapter, entitled, “Choice’s
Challenge: Feminist Ethics and
Reproductive Autonomy” focuses
largely on the ethics of gender selection, the ability to select the
gender of unborn children. The
chapter explores the ethical viewpoints of whether such technology
should or should not be utilized in
such a way.
Meade has been doing research
on reproductive technology for
many years, and was inspired to
write about gender selection independently to set it apart from other
forms of reproductive technology.
“[Gender selection is] fundamentally different,”Meade said,
explaining that the topic is commonly, and perhaps wrongly,
grouped under the title of “reproductive technology” with methods
of aiding or preventing conception.
What is now a published chapter originated as a paper Meade
presented at a conference on teaching ethical issues.
“I gave a version of the chapter
as a conference paper and one of

Jacobs spends part of
summer in Enrichment
Nicole Magloire
BUSINESS MANAGER
This summer, dance
professor Michelle Jacobs,
participated in the Philadelphia Arts Enrichment Program (PAEP) teaching
dance classes to students in
kindergarten through sixth
grade.
Jacobs got involved in
the program after looking
for summer work online
that coincided with her career endeavors.
“I was looking for
summer work online and
found Philadelphia Arts
Enrichment
program
(PAEP) which is housed
under the University of the
Arts (Jacob’s undergraduate college) and works in
conjunction with the
Philadelphia Public School
System,” Jacobs said.
The program allows
students, from schools that
demonstrated low PSSA
scores to participate in different arts programs to help
build self-esteem. Jacobs
taught the dance class for
the whole month of July
and after the class was finished was asked to start a
permanent dance class.
“They were so grateful
to have the opportunity,
they all loved it so much
that they even asked me to
start a dance program
there,” Jacobs said.
The students aren’t the
only ones that gained
something from the experience, as Jacobs says the opportunity made an impact
on her life as well. “I highly
recommend artists and
teachers seizing the opportunity to reach to students
who don’t get the same opportunities
as
other
schools, it was very rewarding,” Jacobs said.
The dance curriculum
that was offered to the
Philadelphia students was
different in comparison to
the curriculum that Cedar
Crest College dance students receive, Jacobs explains.
“Teaching in the
school system is very different from my teaching at
Cedar Crest. I taught these
students from a foundational standpoint, with both
dance and visual art combined with hip hop and creative movement. They did
awesome,” Jacobs said.
Jacobs is currently the
choreographer for Modern
Company B at Cedar Crest
College, and is also the adviser for Student Dance
Works, a class that allows
student to choreograph and
have their own pieces performed. Jacobs also offers
other classes for Cedar
Crest College students,
which can all be found and
signed up for on mycedarcrest.edu.
and asked me to submit the chapter,” Meade said.
Meade explains that the need
for a book like this was so great
because family dynamics are everchanging and tend to do so very
quickly. Therefore, many books
focusing on the family become
outdated quickly.
Aside from the pride of having
the chapter published, Meade said
that the greatest experience to date
involving this paper occurred at
the conference she presented it at
before she was even asked to contribute to the book.
During a break in the confer-
ence, Meade overheard a group of
individuals arguing over her paper.
Eventually, they recognized her
and invited her to discuss it with
them. Meade expressed that it was
extremely gratifying to see how
much her presentation affected
people.
The textbook in which Meade’s
chapter appears was published by
Cambridge Scholars Publishing in
June 2010 and is now available for
purchase and for use in ethics
courses.

In her short amount of time at Cedar
Crest, Powell is acclimating to the college by
attending Commencement and working with
faculty involved with the college’s future.
Powell hopes to work with the LVAIC network in the future, which includes Cedar
Crest College, Lehigh University, Muhlenberg College, Lafayette College, Moravian
College, and DeSales University. Powell has
an appreciation for international travel, which
stems from her own journeys to China, Vietnam, Tibet, Mexico, and Denmark, and hopes
to increase study abroad opportunities to our
students. Along with her goals of more international travel at the college, Powell is currently focused on improving Cedar Crest’s
adult education program.
“I worked a lot with President Ambar
and Kim Spiezio on Adult Education and
forming the new school and the new Dean [of
the new school for Adult Education],” Powell
said. “I feel I came with some knowledge
under my belt, which is nice. I couldn’t have
asked for a better transition.”
Powell has found compatibility with in
President Ambar, who also shares a passion
for the liberal arts and women’s leadership.
“She’s energy personified. You can’t
leave a meeting with her without feeling
‘Yeah, we’re going to make this happen.’ I
love the energy,” Powell said.

Among new techniques that will be utilized

willing to act as “Road Runners” to get the
word out. These students will go back to
their high schools or organizations and talk
about their experiences at Cedar Crest, and
to sweeten the experience will be friendly

“We are expanding our web video presence with clips that highlight our academic
programs and our students. We invite more
students to blog and we are also working
with our new Global Initiatives Office on
ways to attract international students to

dous mount happening within traditional

All aspects considered, the incoming students are the prime young women that belong at Cedar Crest.
“Although the number of new traditional
students is lower than I expected, I am very
excited about this year’s entering class because they are enthusiastic about Cedar
Crest and what it has to offer as a women’s
college. It’s a group that I expect will grow
and thrive at Cedar Crest from day one until
they graduate.”
With the new Strategic Plan, Ambar is
considering the enrollment of all aspects of
the college: traditional, Lifelong Learners,
and Graduate students. Still, Ambar feels we
are on track despite the decline in enrollment and is happy that the new students are
here for the right reasons.
“While we expected a shortfall in traditional enrollment, we are on the right track
and our numbers will rebound and we are
being true to the message of a women’s college,” Ambar said. “I’d rather have 200 students come into a traditional women’s
college program and stay than 250 come in
and 100 of them leave,” Ambar said.

“Somebody call 911…”
Sarajane Sein
COLUMNIST
Consider this scenario:
someone in a hotel, a bar, or a
house is found unresponsive,
passed out, or possibly deceased.
The person who finds them goes
through the emotions of shock,
denial, and an urgency to do what
needs to be done to hopefully
save the person in need – and in
this scenario, this first instinct is
to call 911.
As they report the emergency, they give the operator all
of the information they know
about what has happened. They
hang up and wait for officers to
respond to the scene. They determine that the person cannot be
saved.
A few days later, this person
logs on to the internet to discover
their 911 call has been posted to a
gossip website, and millions are
pouring over the gory details of
someone’s death.
This is not just a hypothetical scenario. Slipknot bassist Paul
Gray was found by a maintenance
worker in a hotel room. The 911
call that ensued was posted on
websites such as TMZ and quoted
in many news outlets. Among the
information the worker gave the
operator was his opinion that
Gray had died of a drug overdose.
This led to many news outlets putting that he was “expected” to have died of an
overdose as their headlines, a full
month before his cause of death
was revealed.
In many cases, the person
calling 911 could be grossly mistaken as to the circumstances. The
publication of these suppositions
and guesses that were recorded
under pressure can smear an individual as a drug addict, suicide,
or unfaithful to a spouse.
Also, the publication of 911
calls could deter a person from
making a call at all, not wanting
to be in the public eye, or from
giving the operator all the necessary information in order to protect the reputation of the person in
question. In the case of a drug
overdose, a person withholding
information could stall the responding officers in being able to
resuscitate an individual and to
have the proper equipment at the
ready.
These tapes also easily fall
into the hands of people who use
them for morbid or sadistic means
in order to insult the person in
question.
911 calls need to stay state
property and no longer be released to the public or the media
unless there is a clear reason for
it. Using people’s most vulnerable
moments for entertainment needs
to stop. Only when this practice
has ended can 911 go completely
back to its original use – to help
those who need it most.

On August 5, Wyclef Jean announced that he would put his bid
in for Haiti’s presidential election,
which would be held on November
28.
Wyclef Jean is known for his
musical talents and chart-topping
singles. He has collaborated with
artists such as Shakira and Mary J.
Blige, but this great artist has another side of him.
Wyclef Jean founded an organization called “Yele” (call),
whose mission is to collect donations and raise money to help the
impoverished people living in
Haiti.
Haiti was recently in the news
when a devastating earthquake
struck what is considered one of the
most underdeveloped countries.
Since then, the world has been
exposed to many of the issues Haiti
faced before the earthquake, such
as poor sanitation, a deteriorating
healthcare system, and political instability.
Although there are many influential people such as Angelina
Jolie, who have immersed themselves in the plight of the Haitian
people, it is Wyclef who has stood
out the most, due to the immense
amount of pride he has for his
country and the support he has for
the Haitian Diasporas.
Wyclef Jean would have made
a worthy political candidate and a
vital contributor to the extensive
changes that Haiti must undergo in
order to better the conditions for its
people. As stated by the New York
Times: “Other people make promises and don’t deliver, but Wyclef
has heart,” Linda Joseph says. “If
he says he’ll do something, we’ll
trust him. And besides, he already
has all the money he needs. So he
won’t steal from us like the others.”
Most of the support that Jean
came from the younger generation ,
who were just looking for a change
and an escape from the lies and broken promises made by so many
Haitian leaders.
Before Rene Preval (Haiti’s
current president), the country has
had its share of dictators, such as
“Papa Doc” and “Baby Doc” and
coup d’états. Some of those put in
power only exploited and left the
country and its people to fend for
themselves.
Not everyone agreed that
Wyclef would make a good candidate. There are many that felt his
bid for presidency was more of a
setback for the country. Some said
the fact that an inexperienced Haitian musician could fathom the idea
of running for president demonstrated the inadequacies in Haiti’s
electoral system.
As stated by Time magazine,
“Steve Burr-Renauld, 23, who hails
from an affluent family in the capital, doesn't think a hip-hop star has
the credentials to run. ‘What if JayZ became President of the U.S.?’ he
asks. ‘That would never happen.’ If
Jean were elected President of
Haiti, Burr-Renauld warns, it
would be like another earthquake
aftershock.”
Also, after Wyclef’s presidential announcement, there were
claims of financial misappropria-

Performer Wycleff Jean has announced that he will be running in the Haian presidenal elecon. This announcement has been met by a mixed response.
tions concerning the foundation
“Yele” that raised questions about
his character. There were also issues with Jean’s residency status,
because the Provisional Electoral
Council requires that a candidate
have at least 5 years of Haitian residency. Jean argued that he never
became a U.S. citizen, therefore his
Haitian citizenship was valid.
He was ultimately barred from
the race.
Why not put faith in a person
who has proven that they are able
to make effective changes, even
though they lack political qualifications? Wyclef’s organization has
raised 9.1 million dollars for the
earthquake relief in Haiti. He has
also created jobs for the people to
aid in restoring their country. One
of the problems Haiti had in the
past was not a lack of education,
because many of its leaders were
well educated, but what they fell
short of is passion. Wyclef Jean has
not only that passion, but he also
has refreshing ideas that could
bring Haiti up-to-date with the rest
of the Western Hemisphere. History
has clearly shown that what was
done in the past was highly ineffective and has only delayed the
change. It’s time to try something
different and it’s time the voice of
the Haitian Diasporas is heard.
Who better for the job than a man
whose voice speaks to millions and
wears his Haitian flag proudly?

Being a Christian in a very liberal world
isn’t always easy. People call you judgmental
and hateful, before they even get to know
you. They call you close minded and arrogant, they spit in your face, and sometimes
they go as far as to persecute you for your
beliefs. Though living life as a Christian can
be hard , when you truly
put your trust in God it
makes it all worth it in the
end.
This summer has been
a real test of my
faith. I had to
decide if I was
going to rely and lean on
God or try to figure everything out myself. Bills
were flying in left and
right, my father was out of
a job, and life was harder
than I was used to it being.
Life for me was usually a
breeze, a never ending va-
Photo| www.flickr.com freefotouk
cation where I always lacked for nothing.
Now, all of a sudden, everything was different.
Everything had changed, and I was left
with two options: either trust in God, or trust
in myself. The first thought to come to my
brain was that I needed to work harder than
ever this summer to make sure that I had
money to return to college. I had to save all
of my money, so that I could afford books
and put some money towards my tuition so
that I wouldn’t have to take out too many
loans. I was trying so hard to figure out how I
could do it all myself.
Then, a scripture passed through my
brain, a scripture that honestly orchestrated
the way my entire summer would play out.
Proverbs 3:5-6 reads, “Trust in the Lord with
all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge
him and he shall make thy paths straight.”
I thought of that scripture, and I felt like a
weight was lifted off of my shoulders. You’re
telling me that I don’t have to try and figure
this out for myself, but instead if I only trust
and acknowledge you, that you’ll work it
out? It seemed too good to be true at the
time, but I decided that I was going to try it
out. I wanted to see if this God that I’ve been
serving for so long would actually show
up in my life, would he
prove himself to me.
Not only did he
prove himself, but
God went
above and beyond anything that I ever expected this summer. I can honestly say that
this was the best summer of my life so far because of all that happened, and how it everything mysteriously worked itself out.
When I think about the things that I’ve
been through and how I’m still standing now,
stronger than ever, it makes witnessing to
people about the goodness of the Lord so
much easier.
If I have the opportunity to introduce
someone to the loving, passionate, courageous and fearless God that I serve, I hope
that I am brave enough to do it.
Brave enough to risk being ostracized.
Brave enough to risk the Persecution and the
pain. I just wish that I am brave enough to
put someone else’s well being far ahead of
my own.
When I’m approached with the question
of whether or not I should witness to someone, I always get afraid. Fear comes over me
in such a fierce and strong manner that it
scares me, but I know deep in my heart that
facing that fear could lead to someone being
eternally and truly happy.
So this Christian walk may be hard, and I
may fall and make many mistakes, but in the
end, I know that it’s all going to be okay. I
pray that God uses me and all the other
Christians on this campus to be a light in
dark times, and help us to not be afraid when
we have the opportunity to witness or not to
witness.

In our society, we imprison those
individuals who have done right by
their society and worked as long as
their health permits them to, but
when ailments deteriorates their
ability to function, we shove them
in nursing homes which does little
to nothing to improve or ease the
transition into death any easier.
However, millions of dollars
goes into jails and prisons, to house
those individuals who cannot abide
by society’s rules and regulations,;
they live in luxury. They receive
three square meals, clothes and
shoes on their back and a shower
everyday, not to mention their personal “dry cleaners” to wash and
iron all the inmates clothing.
Society needs to look at the
bigger picture and realize even
though senior citizens are a liability, they are still humans and need
to be treated as such regardless of
how much time they have left to
live. There are plenty of people
that would agree that many jails
and prisons are better than the
nursing homes that house the older
generation all over the nation.
For every hour you work,
think about how your tax money is
spent, and if it is fair to disperse the
money you work hard for everyday
to just go to someone who lives off
of the state due to their delinquent
behavior. Bring this to the public’s
attention and stand for what is right
and make a difference - if not for
today, for tomorrow.

OES, the new disease affecng college students
Hauna Colista
STAFF WRITER
She sat in her seat in Miller 33
every Wednesday night, fighting
the urge to close her eyes and slip
into a slumber filled with visions of
pillows, down comforters and
maybe even a stiff drink. “She” is
the Over-Extended-Student, or
OES, and I am guilty of being her.
OES sounds like a disease, because it is. Symptoms of OES are
lack of sleep, poor diet, fatigue,
short-temper, memory loss, isolation, low self-esteem, headaches
and poor hygiene. If you are suffering from one or more of these
symptoms, you could have OES.
As funny as that might sound,
being over extended is a serious
matter. When a student over extends herself, her grades, relationships and personal needs suffer, and
she loses more than she gains.
Over-extending happens when a
student tries to be involved with too
much. Rather than doing a few
things well, students try to do
everything, only to end up producing something mediocre.
Time passes, and suddenly before they know it, they are taking
19 credits a semester, so they can
finish their double-major in four
years, helping fundraise for a club,
working a part-time job and getting
hundreds of e-mails asking for
something else while at the same
time, they are trying to fulfill their
basic human needs. There just isn’t
enough time for it all.
I am guilty of all of this. My junior year was the worst. I was doing
so much that I stopped taking care
of myself. I no was longer going to
the gym, I stopped eating well and
I was going several nights a week
with less than two hours of sleep. I
was running myself dead. Not only
was I exhausted, but the things I
was completing were not my best.
I was not only unhappy with how I
was doing in class and in my extra
activities, but I began to feel unhappy with myself.
I have learned the hard way not
to stretch myself too thin however
not everyone has to learn the way I
did. There are ways to prevent
OES.
For one, students need to start
putting themselves first. So often
students forget about the things
they need and focus on everything
else. Everything else is important
but if you don’t take care of yourself, who will? Then if you are not
taken care of, you will not have the
energy to take care of all of your
other responsibilities.
I have constantly seen my
friends thinking about what classes
they needed to graduate and how
many they could fit in one semester. It was after this that they tried
to fit themselves in.
Instead, students should plan for
their basic needs first then fit their
classes and activities around it. The
National Sleep Foundation, NSF,
recommends that adults get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a
night.
The NSF describes that without an adequate amount of sleep a
there is an increased risk of car accidents, an increase in body mass
index due to the increased appetite
caused by sleep deprivation, an increased risk of diabetes and heart
problems, increased risk for psychiatric conditions including depression and substance abuse and a
decreased ability to pay attention,
retain new information and react to
signals.
That is just with lack of sleep.
So while organizing your schedule
and responsibilities, make sleep a
priority. If there is a night class that
goes until 10 p.m. and you have an
8 a.m. lab the next morning, joining
that club that meets from 10:00 to
11:00 in the TCC isn’t a good idea.
In this situation, a student needs to
even think about making time for a
shower and homework, leaving just
enough time for adequate sleep.
In addition to sleep, making sure
you have time to eat is important.
For those people that have not experienced this before, it sounds silly
, but without careful consideration,
a student may find themselves
struggling to fit in three meals a
day, let alone one. Then with a busy
schedule, it becomes easy to pop
into a McDonald’s drive thru at
2:30 am for a Quarter Pounder with
Cheese. I know. I have been there
A poor diet can lead to weight
gain, poor complexion, fatigue and
according to the British Journal of
Psychiatry, a poor diet can even
lead to depression. All these things
can be prevented all with a healthy
diet.
Taking care of yourself and preventing being over extended goes
beyond sleep and diet. Students
need to make time for themselves.
Even if it means setting aside 30
minutes every Thursday to just sit
and listen to music, students need
to make themselves a priority,
rather than something they need to
fit in somewhere. By putting your
own needs first, it can keep you
from over-extending yourself and
in the same token make you a happier person.
Being a happier person leads to
performing better in academics,
stronger relationships and a better
quality of life.
While those 19 credits, that volunteer project, that part-time job,
and those four clubs looks great,
poor complexion, increase risk in
diabetes and heart problems, lack of
concentration, weight gain, depression, increased risk of car accidents
and poor classroom performance do
not. So learn to say “no” when you
need to and “yes” to yourself when
you should.

Students commonly find themselves overextended and oen exhausted to the

When shopping for school
supplies this semester consider
opting for an eco-friendly approach. Notebooks, folders,
pens—everything you’ll need you
can find a greener option for.
Reduce the burden on trees
and choose a notebook made
from recycled materials; Office
Depot, Office Max, Staples and
Target all carry green paper products for affordable prices.
If you’re a fan of the Dalai
Lama or John Lennon, great
news! Ecopaper.com has a journal
with the face of the Dalai Lama
and a notebook made of banana
paper that has Lennon on the
front.
Pristineplanet.com also offers a wide selection of recycled
notebooks with all different cover
designs from strawberries to floral patterns.
Your writing can be ecofriendly too, eco-pens.com has a
selection of different brands that
have taken their products green.
The BIC Clic Stic Ecolotions is
made from 67% pre-consumer recycled plastic, the PaperMate
Eco-Element is biodegradable
and the Kernel Pen from Spector
is made from 100% organic materials.
Post-its have even gone
green too! The sticky little helpers
are now being made from recycled materials so you can keep reminders and be eco-friendly too.
Between notebooks, textbooks, pens and supplies it becomes a hassle to carry around all
of your belongings around campus.
To make your commute
more convenient, go the green
route with the Terracycle Drink
Pouch Tote Bag from theultimategreenstore.com. For $12.99 you
can store all your stuff in this
large tote made from Kool-Aid
and Capri Sun juice pouches.
Different color options are
available and the bag surface is
easily cleanable. If you’re more of
a backpack kind of person, the
site also features the Terracycle
Drink Pouch Backpack made
from Capri Sun for $14.50.
Lunchboxes, duffle bags and
messenger bags can also be found
on the website in varying color
and style options and ranging in
price from $14.99 to $35.00.
For more options, check out
theultimategreenstore.com.
Between the hectic semester of classes,
writing papers and studying, being environmentally-friendly isn’t always on your mind. With
these eight easy tips you can turn your home
away from home into a sustainable space.
1. Grow green
Pull out the plug-in air fresheners and pick
up a plant instead! You can keep your room
smelling fresh without all the unnecessary artificial scents. Plants are an alternative that not
only give your room an all-natural scent, but also
aid in the improvement of your air quality.
According to treehugger.com, peace lily,
bamboo palm, English ivy, mums, and gerbera
daisies all top the list for potted plants that improve indoor air quality; not to mention they are
also easy to take care of, even if you have a notso-green thumb.
2. Be bright about light
Switching from incandescent lightbulbs to
compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) is an easy
and affordable way to green your dorm room.
Lifestyle.msn.com reports that CFLs consume
up to 75 percent less energy than incandescent
bulbs and also last up to ten times longer.
3. Green dreams
After a long day of classes, many of us look
forward to the moment when we are reunited
with our beds and can finally relax. You can rest
assured knowing that you’re helping the environment while doing so with organic bedding
options.

Tips for picking
sunscreen and
natural sunburn
remedies
Flickr.com/creavecommons
Rachel Morgandale
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United
States. According to the Skin Cancer
Foundation, melanoma will cause
about 8,650 deaths this year alone.
Their website warns that having
five or more sunburns can double a
person’s
chance
of
having
melanoma in their lifetime. To prevent sunburn, here are some things
to keep in mind when choosing a
sunscreen.
1. Choose a sunscreen that’s
around SPF 30 and offers
UVA/UVB protection.
2. If you’re going to be around
water, go for water-proof or waterresistant sunscreens, but still reapply
after you dry off. Sports players
have the option to choose sweatproof or rub-proof sunscreen.
3. Be sure to reapply sunscreen
after prolonged exposure, or after
swimming, even if using water-resistant sunscreen.
Pale complexions are prone to
ugly, painful burns in the summer,
and while there’s no substitute for
W h ere’s t h e w ifi?
preventative measures to protect you
from burns and melanoma, there are
a few things you can do to help your
skin heal after a bad burn.
1. Immediately after a burn,
take a bowl and pour in equal parts
white vinegar and cool water. Dip a
cloth into it and dab against the affected area. This will relieve some of
the hot, uncomfortable feeling and
some of the initial pain.
2. Also effective for relieving
the heat and pain is green tea. Brew
a tea bag of plain green tea and allow
it to cool, then wash skin with the tea
using a clean cloth. Be sure not to
sweeten the tea or use a tea blend.
3. When your skin begins blistering and peeling, it needs moisture
more than anything. Fresh aloe is
best- snap a leaf straight off an aloe
plant and rub the juice into your
skin. If you can’t find an aloe plant,
use a gel aloe (available at most grocery and drug stores) that doesn’t
have too many additives or fragrances.
If you’re looking to study under the trees at Cedar Crest,
you may have trouble finding wireless.
Nearly every building on campus has wireless available
for students to pick up with their laptops. The only building
you won’t find it in it Blaney, but there is a computer lab in the
basement for all your internet needs.
Another indoor space to be wary of is the library. If all the
computers are full in the upstairs, you’ll need to get the pass
code from library staff to access the wireless network there.
Outside, your choices are more limited. Close to buildings such as the Science Center and the TCC wireless access is
available, but IT warns that most outdoor areas will have spotty
wireless. The farther away from the buildings, the less of a
chance you have of finding WiFi.
Feel free to sojourn around the campus and bring your
study materials with you, but know that your chances of finding a wireless network among the falling leaves is slim.
WiFi availability is limited
outdoors, however, the closer
you move to the buildings the
better service you will have.

Freeman facial
peel-off mask

With tons of facial beauty products coming out nowadays, it’s hard
to know what to look for. Facial masks are especially diverse and a variety of different types exist on the market. Freeman has come up with a
new peel-off mask that is available now.
The mask has the fragrance of cucumbers, and is really simple to
use. All it takes is applying the mask on the face, and then waiting five
to ten minutes. After the waiting period, the
mask will have hardened enough that it is possible to peel it right off, usually in one whole
piece.
Upon trying this mask myself, I found that
the layer that had formed after hardening was
much thinner than other facial masks I had used.
I also didn’t like the fact that the mask got all
sticky in my eyebrows.
There were some positives that I felt about
this facial mask. For one, it did make my skin
smoother than it had been before. Also, upon ripping the mask off my face, although I had felt that I
was ripping my skin off, I felt a sense of rejuvenation. I felt that my pores had really been cleared out.
Another tester of the product had some
unsatisfied feelings towards the mask. This second
user had commented that her skin felt pasty after
using, and it did not come out “smooth and silky” as
the back of the label had stated.
The really nice thing about this Freeman product is that it is part of
the Feeling Beautiful line which is made with natural, botanical ingredients. The product is also not tested on animals, which is a plus when it
comes to animal rights and animal welfare.
With going green the popular thing nowadays, this line fits right into
that theme. This product gives the satisfaction desired for a reasonable
price, while also being environmentally friendly. I would highly recommend this product for a girls’ night in, or for preparation before a big
night out on the town.

Pond’s has been dedicated to simply beautiful
skin since 1846 and their new cleansing towelettes are
a good addition to the family.
Pond’s introduced two new types of cleansing
towelettes, one type for the morning and the other for
the evening. The towelettes come in packs of 30 and
are available at most stores.
The Pond’s towelettes that are made for evening
use are infused with chamomile and white tea scents.
According to the Ponds website ponds.com the towelettes cleanse and soothe the skin while gently lifting
away dirt and make up residue.
The towelettes leave your face feeling fresh and
light, while softly removing dirt and releasing tension
in your face. The chamomile and white tea scents are
light and soft and don’t over power your senses. The
evening towelettes remove water proof mascara and
are dermatologist tested.
Unlike other face wash products no rinsing is
needed for the towelettes, and though they lather up
during use, it leaves your face feeling clean and soft
instead of dried
out. The towelettes are infused
with vitamin E as
well
as
the
chamomile leaf
extract and while
tea leaf extract.
The evening tow-
elettes are the perfect before bed ritual to add to your
daily routine, and leave your face feeling brand new at
bed time.
The morning versions of the towelettes are just as
good as the evening ones and help you to start your
day with that special essential kick. Not only are they
infused with Citrus and Cucumber extracts but they
also have micro beads.
The Citrus and Cucumber scents enter your senses
and help start your day on a light and fresh note. The
micro beads add a new mix to the world of facial
washes and help to wash away the wear and tear a
rough sleep may have had on your face.
The morning towelettes are also infused with vitamin E and help to leave your face feeling soft and
youthful.
These are not the first round of facial towelettes
that have been released by Pond’s, if you’re not into
scented facial products; Pond’s offer an unscented
brand. The original all day clean Pond’s towelettes
offer the same fresh and light feeling that the other
brands do, but just without the different scents.
The Original scent is hypoallergenic and suitable
for sensitive skin; it’s also safe for contact lens wearers. All three of
the towelettes
help to keep
your skin soft
and light without
the fear of break
outs.

Where do I know
them from?
Many well-known and prolific British actors aren’t exactly
household names in the US, but
here are some you might know by
sight and some of their works you
may like to explore.
Judi Dench- A Royal Shakespeare Company actor with roles
such as Lady MacBeth under her
belt, she is best known to American viewers for her performance
as M in the latest James Bond
films and roles such as Queen
Elizabeth the first in Shakespeare
in Love. Check out her television
series from the 90s As Time Goes
By where she plays a woman reunited with her wartime sweetheart 38 years later.
Sean Bean- Known for playing roles in movies such as Troy,
Lord of the Rings and National
Treasure, he has had a lengthy career playing roles such as Vronsky in Anna Karenina and
Richard Sharpe in the series of
television movies based off of
Bernard Cornwell’s novels about
British Imperialism and the
Napoleonic Wars, starting with
Sharpe’s Rifles in 1993. The seventeenth installment, Sharpe’s
Peril was shown on PBS earlier
this year.
Romola Garai- This beautiful young actress has played
alongside Sir Ian McKellan in
King Lear with the RSC and appeared as the charming, yet irritating title character in the recent
adaptation of .
Emma. She is probably best
known for her appearance in
Atonement as the 18 year old
Briony Tallis. Her early performances in the adaptations of Nicolas Nickleby and I Capture the
Castle are impressive.
Eddie Remayne- Probably
best known for his appearance in
the historically cavalier movie,
The Other Boleyn Girl, he recently took a turn on the New
York stage in the play Red, winning a Tony for his effort, and
gave a notable performance as
Angel Clare in the 2008 adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of
the D’Urbervilles alongside
Gemma Arterton, best known as
Strawberry Fields in the Bond
movie Quantum of Solace. He
was also just in Starz’s miniseries
The Pillars of the Earth.
Carrie Mulligan- Her film
debut was in the 2005 Pride and
Prejudice as Kitty Bennet, but
since then she has been working
steadily, appearing in the popular
Doctor Who episode “Blink” and
US released films such as Public
Enemies and Wall Street: Money
Never Sleeps. She is also rumored
to be the actress slated for the role
of Eliza Doolittle in the upcoming
remake of My Fair Lady.
Who says summer is over?
Katy Perry’s long awaited album,
Teenage Dream, will keep summer
goin’ all year round.
It has been two years since
Perry’s freshman album; One of the
Boys was launched into the music
industry giving fans their fix for
sugar and spice pop tunes. This
summer she has yet to disappoint
with not one, but two number one
hit’s off her new album, Teenage
Dream.
The cover of the album was a
classic portrait of Perry, nude, laying on a cloud of cotton candy; a
picturesque scene from her now infamous music video “California
Girls”. Will Cotton, Creative Set
designer for the video, painted the
portrait of Perry specifically for the
cover of her new album.
The Teenage Dream album
was not a one woman show; Perry
and her small army of 15 producers/writers created an interesting
array of songs leaving fans with
many musical options to choose
from. Producers and writers that
worked alongside Perry also have
teamed up with Celine Dion, Snoop
Dog, Britney Spears and many
more familiar artists.
Thanks to iTunes we have
been teased all season with trickling singles off the album.
The first release off the album,
sunny summer anthem, “California
Girls” has taken over the radios of
beach bums across the country. According to Perry, she joined Snoop
Dog in this catchy song wrote this
song in lieu of Jay-Z and Alicia
Keys East Coast Anthem, “Empire
State of Mind.” In an interview
with MTV, Perry cleared up the rumors about her reasoning for writ-

ing this song,” I thought it would be
perfect timing for a California anthem, and especially one from a female perspective, because there's
never really ever been a female perspective about California," she said.
"And everyone wondered about our
little state, I love New York girls, I
think they're hot, and I think they
have a lot of attitude, but I'm telling
you: When it comes wintertime,
they're all gonna be singing 'California Girls.'” If this song is as hot
as it is now, we’ll be singing it all
year long.
The second single with the
album title, “Teenage Dream,” is an
unusually catchy stereotypical teen
rebel love ballad. This song is edgy
and fun, but has a very sweet,
“don’t want to live without you”
undertone. The lyrics, “You make
me feel like I’m livin’ a teenage
dream/ the way you turn me on/ I
can’t sleep/ let’s runaway and never
look back/never look back” insinuate lustful California teenage love.
Perry was much more experimental on this album as well. For
the song “E.T.” she went a little
edgier with the auto-tune and dramatic space-like music. She also
did a few ballad type songs, “Not
like the Movies” and “Pearl” which
she has not shown since her last hit
ballad, “Thinking of You.”
From her history of suggestive
songs (way back in her “I Kissed a
Girl” career) of course Miss. Perry
included a few tongue in cheek
songs that are the perfect combination of sweet and sour. The song,
“Peacock” is Perry’s clever way of
using a double entendre to discuss
the curiosity of sexuality; "Word on
the street / You have something to
show me / Come on baby let me see
/ what you're hiding underneath /
Are you brave enough to let me see
your peacock? / I wanna see your
peacock.”
This compilation of new, fun
and sexy songs shows Perry’s
evolving in the industry as an artist.
Her sweet originality and entertaining creativity will keep her around
for more than just a few summers.
Teenage Dream is now available in stores and on iTunes for purchasing.

For anyone who’s ever seen
the film, Confessions of a Shopaholic, only half probably know that
the storyline is based on a series of
books by English author Sophia
Kinsella. She has not only written
Confessions of Shopaholic, but has
expanded that series to include
Shopaholic Gets Married, Shopaholic & Baby, and quite a few
more.
Sophia Kinsella is back to
writing books. This time, she has
veered into a different direction,
and away from her Shopaholic
theme. She is even writing under a
different pen name- Madeleine
Wickham.
I’ve recently read one of
Wickham’s new books, Cocktails
for Three. The book is an interesting look into the lives of three
women, Maggie, Roxanne, and
Candice. They meet up once a
week in a Manhattan
bar for drinks and
discuss things
going on in
their very
different
lives.
I found this book
very entertaining to read because it almost seemed like three
separate books, wound into one. It
was quite interesting how Wickham managed this. The story goes
in depth about different aspects of
each of the women’s lives, including some deep dark secrets that get
a chance to be revealed. One
woman is going through pregnancy, so the audience gets to experience her thoughts and feelings
on this, as the book progresses.
The ending of the book is
quite interesting, and even causes
me to think about my own friendships and relationships. Without revealing the ending, I will say it
wasn’t exactly what I expected, but
all
t h e
same, I
realized
that it was
probably
way more predictable than I
originally thought.
This book very
well may turn into a
longer series, as in the
end, a new member joins the cocktail club. I would be very interested
to see how that could take a turn for
either the better or the worse, depending on the consequences of the
ending of the book.
Cocktails for Three is not
Madeleine Wickham’s only book.
She has several other titles out, and
also expects to return as Sophia
Kinsella writing more Shopaholic
books, plus some other new ones.

For years the Allentown Art
Museum has featured art from collections throughout the country
and pieces from all over the world
in their modest space near the
Lehigh County Prison. From the
works of Andy Warhol to the most
recent exhibit In Stitches, the museum strives to bring art to the
Lehigh Valley that is of the highest quality and relevance. This November however, the museum is
taking a bold step; they are closing
their doors for ten months to do
dramatic renovations on their
space.
Though, they didn’t reach
their original fundraising goal,
President Brooks Joyner is confident that the over $20 million dollars raised will improve the
museum greatly. Some of the most
notable changes for the patrons of
the museum, Joyner believes, will
be the new entrance to the building and the expansion of the lobby.
The museum will have more room
for receptions and fundraisers as
well as a café for the convenience
of their patrons. Other areas of the
museum that the public doesn’t see
will be expanded as well, the storage space for the museum’s collection will be expanded, allowing
for room for more acquisitions and
there will be more gallery space to
display a larger portion of the collection at one time and accommodate larger travelling exhibits.
While the museum is closed
however, Joyner and his associates
will not be on vacation, they are

that perhaps the museum will be
able to collaborate with their
neighbors, the Baum School of Art

their freshly renovated space in

JUSTIN BIEBER MY WORLD TOUR
TWO CONCERTS, ONE WEEKEND
Nicole Magloire
BUSINESS MANAGER
Two years ago no one knew
his name, and now he’s one of the
top selling recording artists in the
industry. Justin Bieber, 16 year old
Canadian star, became the center of
the Labor Day weekend after he
performed at two major fairs during
the holiday.
This weekend, Bieber, performed at the Allentown Fair and
also the Maryland State Fair. The
concerts began with the up and
coming recording artist Vita Chambers. Seventeen year old Chambers
is a Canadian artist that was discovered after posting videos on her
MySpace page. Chambers wowed
the crowd with her different covers
of songs by the Ting Tings and
Yeah, yeah, yeahs. Chambers inter-

her music so well. Though Jarrell is
new to the music industry, she performed like a pro, and moved
across the stage with the finesse of
an artist that was well accustomed
to being in front of thousands of
fans.
Jarrell warmed and hyped the
crowd with her catchy tunes and eccentric dance moves. Though she’s
only 15, she was able to prepare the
audience for the next act, Sean
Kingston.
Sean Kingston and his band
were the surprises of the two
shows. When Kingston entered the
stage he demanded the focus of
everyone in the audience with his
electrifying presence and beautiful
smile. Kingston kept a smile pasted
on his face for the entire show, and
it was clear to see that he was living
his dream.

audience her heart at both fairs.
The next artist to grace the
stage was Jessica Jarrell, 15-yearold R&B singer, who is signed to
Def Jam Records. Jarrell connected
to the audience with her sincerity
and genuine personality, which
came across clearly in every song
she sang. She thanked the crowd

song like he was performing for
royalty and gave nothing less than

the British performer signed to
Kingston’s record label, was a surprise guest and wowed the show
with his performance. Iyaz is the

that is able to sing and dance at the
same time, he lacks the ability to really connect to the audience to
make them feel like he’s not just
running through the motions. For
young children who aren’t used
to attending many concerts, Bieber will be everything they ever imagined;
the case won’t be the same for
experienced concert goers.
Bieber still has a far to go before he can prove to be the kind of
artist that can remain in the industry, once the initial fame and popularity wears off.
The “My world” tour is taking
a break for a few weeks before it
kicks back up again in Canada,
Bieber’s native country. The tour is
scheduled to come back to Pennsylvania in November, and the
venue is already sold out. Though
Bieber lacks genuine personality in

are concerned.

Champions are in close prox i m i t y

The 64th Little League World
Series commenced on Aug. 29 with
the Edogawa Minami Little League
team from Tokyo, Japan named the
2010 winners. The games were held
at the Little League International
complex just a short drive away in
Williamsport, PA, from Aug. 20-29.
Sixteen teams from the United
States battled it out in hopes of getting to the World Series Championship game.
The teams were divided up into
groups first by countries. Eight
teams from the United States were
split into regions and eight teams
from different countries around the
world made up the International
grouping. Within these divisions,
teams were split up into pools of
four, and first played within their
pool. The overall winners from each
pool went on to play the winning
team from the other pool in their
grouping (U.S. or International) to
determine the U.S. and International
Champions.
US Pool A came down to the
West and Southeast teams, but West
came out on top. Pool B yielded the
Southwest and Northwest teams as
its top two, but in the end Southwest
went on to play West for the U.S.
Champion title.
After Japan and Mexico moved
forward from International Pool C
and Asia-Pacific and Latin American
progressed from Pool D, it was
Japan and Asia-Pacific competing
for International Champion.
On Aug. 28, West won the
American Championship and Japan
won the International bringing the
teams together for the Championship game the following day and
Southwest and Asia-Pacific to play
the Consolation Game. Japan beat
West 4-1, and in the Consolation
Game Asia-Pacific won 14-2.
Since it was geared exclusively
towards young athletes, this championship was unique in that it was
made to be completely familyfriendly. Admission to each of the
games was free and the stadium
opened to the public each day an
hour before the game was scheduled
to start. Items and substances such as
alcohol, cigarettes and tobacco products of any type, large umbrellas and
noisemakers were strictly prohibited
so as not to cause any distractions or
issues including obstructing a spectator’s view of the game.

A little over a month ago
soccer fans throughout the world
were able to satisfy their insatiable appetites for ‘football’ via
FIFA World Cup Soccer. Eight
geographical areas combined to
make a 204 team group in the
preliminary rounds.
Fifty-three teams came from
Africa, 43 teams from Asia, 53
teams from Europe, 35 teams
from North America, Central
America, and the Caribbean, 10
island teams described as Oceania, and 10 teams from South
Africa combined for the large
starting number.
For those of us who do not
take to yelling ‘goallllll.’ Federation Internationale de Football
Association (FIFA) encompasses
all soccer played at the professional level in the world.
As the number of teams
dwindled down from 204 to four
in the semi-finals the teams left
were Uruguay, The Netherlands,
Spain, and Germany. The final
two teams to win their way into
the final game of the FIFA World
Cup were Spain and The Netherlands where Spain got the final
win with a score of 1-0 on July
11, 2010 in dramatic, overtime
fashion.
According to many reporters,
Reggie Bush, former running
back for USC will be stripped of
his 2005 Heisman Trophy, which
will leave the award vacant for
that year.
An investigation was conducted on the successful player
and discoveries showed that he
accepted “improper” benefits
while at the University of South
Carolina, which constituted him
as ineligible for the 2005 season.
It was found that Bush received
“lavish gifts from two fledging
sports marketers hoping to sign
him. The men paid for everything
from hotel stays and a rent-free
home where Bush’s family apparently lived to a limousine and a
new suit when he accepted his
Heisman in New York in December 2005.” The National Collegiate Athletic Association is
taking this issue very seriously
and according to ESPN, “The
REGGIE
NCAA cited USC for ‘lack of institutional control’ and handed
the Trojans four years’ probation,
a two-year bowl ban and a reduction in football scholarship.”
The President of the Heisman Trophy Trust, William J.
Dockery, disclosed to ESPN that
the reports were inaccurate. If the
decision is finalized to strip Bush
of the trophy, he will be the first
player in the 75-year history of
the Heisman Trophy to have it
taken away. The public knows all
too well that he is not the first and
surely not the last student athlete
who has received extra benefits
from boosters, agents, and even
coaches. If the NCAA is going to
investigate Bush’s college football career, then they may need to
investigate all the previous and
future Heisman recipients.
Since there are questions of
speculation on whether or not
these allegations will affect his
pro career with Super Bowl champions, The New Orleans Saints
are still in the air. The Saints have
refused to comment on his NCAA
HARD
violations because it has no effect
on his pro career.
Should the Heisman Trophy
Trust leave the 2005 year empty?
If Bush is stripped of the award
should it be passed on to somebody more deserving? Talk of
giving the trophy to Vince Young,
who finished second in 2005 in
the voting, has also occured.
If allegations are proven to
be true, the final decision will not
only affect the pro football player,
but it will also affect his former
college, USC and their football
program. The school must cut any
ties they have with Bush from
their sporting venues, his promotional materials and statistics from
games during the period he was
ineligible. The school will also
have a two-year ban and the loss
of 30 scholarships over three
years.
The NCAA means business
when it comes to college sports. If
Bush had thought twice before receiving “rewards” while pursuing
his college football career his situation might be different

ONE GOAL CLOSER TO A WIN Falcon tennis commences
Michelle Palmisano
Athletics Editor
There have been many changes over
the last month to the staff in the athletic department and the soccer team is one of the
teams being affected; however, this affect
is going well.
Another new coach, Nicole Pietrobon,
has seemed to change the outlook and spirit
of the soccer team. Pietrobon is nothing far
from correct when she said she was locally
bred. Pietrobon graduated from Allentown
Central Catholic High School and furthered
her education at DeSales University. At DeSales, Pietrobon majored in Nursing and
minored in Sports Management all while
playing soccer. After graduating and playing out her four years on the DSU soccer
team, Pietrobon joined the coaching staff.
Pietrobon made the decision to join the
athletic staff at Cedar Crest because she saw
promise in the college and liked its community.
“I want to be a positive change for our
soccer program. I am very familiar with the
College being so local, therefore, I already
have a personal connection before accepting the position. Cedar Crest promotes a
very strong feeling of unity and support
across its entire campus which is extremely
inviting and hard to not want to be a part
of,” Pietrobon said.
Though the soccer team is made
mostly of veterans, the newcomers to the
team are not forgotten .The freshmen, who
are not only new to the team, but also new
to campus, are Samantha Korpics and Marguerite Mullin. Sophomore Tia Schober and
Senior Kelly Oakes will also be joining the
falcons on the soccer field.
Returning players are as follows: seniors Brooke Biloholowski and Tabitha
King; junior Sam Smith; and sophomores
Tiandra Allen, Sara Barcheski, Stephanie
Carroll, Samantha Huey, Laura Knapp, Jessica LeBel, Daniella Mendez, and Jennifer
Rittenhouse.
Though Pietrobon says she sees promise in all of her players, she notes that the
seniors are extremely driven to make a difference, since it is their last season. Physical as well as mental preparation has been
high on Pietrobon’s list and so far the girls
have worked hard, communicated well, and
stayed focus and will hopefully see those
results soon, all while learning to be “one
with the ball.”

New coach,
same goals
Michelle Palmisano
Athletics Editor
With a new outlook
and a new coach the Falcon field hockey team
has its hopes set high for
a productive season.
New coach Cindy
Joseph, who came from
Arcadia University as
their head field hockey
coach, is making a good
impact on the girls and
one senior can tell the
difference for sure.
Tamera Gruzdis,
Senior Biology Major
said, “She’s going to be
harder on us to help us
reach our goals. She’s
here to win and her attitude rubs off on all of
us.” Joseph not only
coached
the
field
hockey team at Arcadia
University but the
women’s lacrosse team
as well.
According to
Gruzdis there are four
new players on the team
who will be assets to
the team that already
has a new outlook and
high spirits!
In addition to four
new players who will
help the team, the team
also has a handful of
seniors who will prove
to be strong leaders on
and off the field. The
seniors are Jessica
Sanchez, Eryn Zeigler,
Adrienne Maurer, Jen
Decky,
Caitlyn
B e i s w e n g e r, J e s s i c a
Maco, and Tamera
Gruzdis. Lauren Salge,
Sophomore Psychology
Major, can see the difference in the team from
this year to last, “I see us
doing well and working
hard and together in preseason so far therefore
our
overall performance should improve.”
Becca Lowe, Soph-
omore Early Childhood
Education major talked
of coach Joseph in a
positive way saying, “I
personally love her and
I believe that the rest of
the team does too.”
Lowe explained that
Joseph not only lets you
know what you’re doing
wrong, but also how to
fix it, which she appreciates.
Though a new
coach and new players
have been added into the
mix the team goals have
stayed the same, to
make it to playoffs and
have more shots in general on goal. Lowe said
the first game that the
team had was used as a
test run to see the areas
they needed to work on.
The team has shifted
from the “I” focus to the
“we” focus and things
are starting to fall together.
With an ambitious group assembled for
the fall season, the Cedar Crest tennis team
is bound to remain a contender in the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC), as
well as on a local level.
Head tennis coach Lynn Pigliacampi
feels that anything can happen this season
with the loss of competitive seniors and
open spots in the team hierarchy. Pigliacampi anticipates how the team will fall into
place but also sees passion.
"The top of the line-up is up for grabs
because the returners are very strong. It's
going to be interesting,"Pigliacampi said.
"It's a bit of a rebuilding year. We lost people who attributed a lot to the wins. It'll be
interesting to see how the positions are
going to fill up. We do have great returning
players, but we lost good players and we
will be recovering from that loss," Pigliacampi said.
One of the returning players, Amy
Dichter, senior Nursing student, was named
to the second CSAC (Colonial States Athletic Conference) Fall All-Academic team
last season, along with seniors Maria
Mallery, Sara Messner, Laura Shively, and
sophomore Sarah Wicks. Dichter explains
her goals for herself as well as the team.
"My personal goals this season are to
improve my weaknesses, maintain my
strengths, be optimistic, and play the best
that I can. Being a senior Nursing student,
my main personal goal is being able to balance my school work and clinical with tennis," Dichter said. "My goals for the team
are to play well against our main rivals Neumann [College] and Marywood [University] and hopefully make championships."
Senior Biology and Secondary Education major Alexandra Kuebler, like Dichter,
hopes to improve her athletic faults but also
to uphold the bond of the team.
“Personally, I would like to improve on
my mental toughness and being more consistent with my shots in general. I also
would like to increase support of the tennis
team by the our fellow students,” Kuebler
said.
Among the returning players with
Dichter’s initiative are freshmen Nina
Colangeli and Gina Janus, who are already
in line with the team’s essence as Pigliacampi anticipated.
"They seem really gung-ho and aggressive and it'll be interesting to see what
players they'll turn out to be, where they'll
turn up in the line-up. The freshmen personality-wise seem to fit right in," Pigliacampi said.
Kuebler feels that despite the losses to
the tennis team, they will come out on top
once again.
“I truly believe we can make it to
Championships again. We have promising
new recruits and solid returners. At this
point in preseason we are doing very well
and working very hard in practices,” Kuebler said.
Weighing last season with the upcoming season, Pigliacampi hopes for the players to give their all and stay strong.
"I like to be pretty open-minded with
my goals. I'd like just for this team to live up
to its potential. I want us to win the matches
we should win and if we win every match,
I'll be happy," Pigliacampi said.
The Fall 2009 record was 12-4 overall,
8-2 conference, and third overall in CSAC.
Tonight’s game with Alvernia University is
an away game at 4 p.m.

For the past four years, Athletic Director, Kristin Maile has been the head coach of
the women’s volleyball team. This year, not
unlike others, Maile and her team are trying
to work out the kinks of graduating seniors
and adding new players. So far, “the girls
have been working very hard and staying
very focused during practices,” said Maile.
According to Maile the team is anchored
by senior, Business Major, Lauren Seale.
Seale is a four year member of the volleyball
team who comments on the team by saying,
“After graduating a handful of seniors, we
have a very young team.” She goes on to add,
“I look forward to the season and for us to
come together, all while enjoying my last
year here.”
Seale and Maile are both anticipating
good things to come from the new additions
to the team. The freshman are as follows: Kamala Sutton, Shanaye Hurtt, Katie Brown,
DEEP
Amber Wehry, Meghan Gallagher, and
Denise Castillo. The freshman are joined by
new players Chelsea Bodder and Kelsey Andrayko, who are both transfer students. The
remaining players are juniors Marie Polzella
and Katey Dauble, and seniors Danielle Niles
and Lauren Seale.
During the preseason, the Falcons have
not only been working hard during practice
to form a consistent team but have also
worked hard outside of the gym to become
more of a family.
According to Maile, the girls have gone
bowling, gone for ice cream, and even had a
board game night to promote team unity. Promoting a family environment will also help
with communication on and off the court and
Seale comments by saying, “the biggest thing
that we need to do is communicate.”
Maile has a positive outlook for the team
and is looking forward to the time when she
can get a consistently productive line up in
games but is realistic and says, “As much as
we’d like it to happen overnight, it takes
time.”
