Four Loko is Simply Loco
by Kasara McLaughlin
Copy Editor
Four Loko: these two words alone spark some
sort of response in every person they come into
contact. Four Loko is an alcoholic and caffeinated
energy drink which come in many flavors, and
even come in different levels of alcohol.
The company “Four,” that produces this
berverage, is named for the four ingredients
used in the company’s products, which are:
caffeine, taurine, guarana, and alcohol.
This drink has put a new spin on the
importance of the warning label, which is seen
seven times on one can of Four Loko.
It has been reported that the caffeine masks
the negative effects of alcohol, therefore causing
the consumer to continue drinking without any
immediate consequences. However, once the
caffeine wears off, the alcohol’s effects hit the victim
at full force, creating a mess of repercussions.
“It’s basically a blackout in a can,” sophomore
Alex Bolcar said. “It’s a cheap and quick
way to get drunk,” she continued.
However, junior Morgan Rutch said, “I can never
make it past a few sips. It’s cheap, but it doesn’t
taste good enough for me to keep drinking. I
didn’t feel any affect with a few sips, though.”
This proves that many students are drawn to
the drink not for the taste, but for the price.
Many people can get drunk off of just one
can of Four Loko, which has the price equivalent
to a mere shot or a single beer at the bar.
According to recent reports, the ABCC (Alcoholic
Beverage Control Commission) filed an emergency
regulation on November 18 ordering that the production
of alcoholic beverages that contain added caffeine
should be removed from shelves immediately.
While some cities and states have decided to
ban it, others are keeping it around due to the
amount of profit these products are bringing in.
Four is not the only company that produces
caffeinated alcoholic beverages; there are
over twenty different companies facing similar
investigations from the FDA and ABCC.
While the drink appears to be a
completely unsafe health hazard, for many
the price is worth the consequences.
However, Moravian is urging it’s students to
make wise decisions about alcohol consumption.
As Nicole Loyd, Dean of Students, recommended
in her campus wide e-mail, “make choices that
do not increase risks to your health and personal
safety, and encourage your peers to do the same!”

California, you have let us down.
Given the recent opportunity to pass
the groundbreaking Proposition 19 that
would have made recreational marijuana
use legal in the state of California,
supporters of the bill did not show up on
voting day and the bill failed miserably.
Obama, if you’re reading this, it’s time
to stop messing around. You need to
issue an executive order that makes
marijuana legal under federal law.
There is so much support behind the
argument of legalizing marijuana that
I’m surprised Moravian doesn’t have
marijuana vending machines by now.
First of all, marijuana is not dangerous
when used in responsible moderation.
Moderation is the key word here. Sure,
if you smoke 10 joints while driving on
the highway, you may end up mistaking
the median for another lane, and your
night may not end well. However,
consuming too much of anything can
be detrimental to one’s health: alcohol,
Tylenol, coffee, candy, windshield wiper
fluid, but the last time I checked all
of those things are legal. If our federal
government followed the same standards
of legalization for marijuana as it did for
the legalization of alcohol, it would give
people an incentive to use it responsibly.
Another strong argument for the
case of legalizing marijuana is that it
has a plethora of medicinal uses. Using
marijuana to treat various medical issues
is not a new concept. There are references
in 5000-year-old medical documents to
the use of marijuana as medicine. Modern
research suggests that cannabis can aid
in the treatment of pain relief, nausea,
spasticity, glaucoma, and movement
disorders. Marijuana is also a powerful
appetite stimulant, which is one of the main
reasons that I personally hope it is eventually
legalized. I’m extremely skinny as a result
of my condition, and I honestly believe that
the “munchies” associated with marijuana
use could help me gain some weight.
Many opponents of marijuana will use the
argument that legalizing marijuana will allow
young children to be dangerously exposed to
the drug. I’m not saying that our government
should allow Marijuana without regulations.
There are tons of activities that only adults
are legally allowed to do: drinking alcohol,
joining the military, buying cigarettes,
getting married and signing contracts; so
why can’t the government regulate marijuana
in a fashion similar to these activities?
Lastly, if you have ever been around
someone that is high, you will know
that he or she is the happiest person on
earth. When one is high, everything that
occurs is the funniest thing that has ever
happened. Doesn’t that sound simply
amazing? Christmas is coming up Obama,
don’t you want to make your people happy?
Give us the gift of legalized marijuana!

Students from Lehigh Valley
Schools Protest Meal Policy
that Ups Education Costs
Students want food contractor Sodexo kicked off their campuses
Photo Courtesy of sodexoeducation.com
Press Release
Students from Lafayette and Moravian
Colleges kicked off a campaign today,
November 30th, to end expensive
mandatory meal plans that add
thousands of dollars to their education
costs. Representatives from each school
delivered a letter to the their school’s
presidents demanding that current
food service contractor Sodexo be
kicked off campus, citing the expensive
mandatory meal plans the company
includes in its contracts with the schools.
The students at these schools are
asking that food service instead be run
though the Lehigh Valley Association
of Independent Colleges, a multi
school purchasing consortium.
“I’m taking out tens of thousands
in loans for my education, and my
family shouldn’t have to go further
in debt so a mutli-billion dollar
company like Sodexo can turn a profit,”
Lafayette senior, Ben Swartout said.
Students calculated that the average
Sodexo meal plan in the Valley costs
$10 per meal. The meal plans which
run on average around $3,500 per year
accrue about $1000 in interest if the
meal plans are paid with student loans.
In addition to the high cost of
Sodexo, students also raised concerns
about the company’s environmentally
unsustainable practices and poor labor
rights record in the Lehigh Valley.
“Local Colleges and Universities should
support local farms. Our food services
needs to be sustainable every step of
the way and act as an example to the
community,” Lafayette senior, Jenn Bell,
President of Lafayette Environmental
Awareness and Protection, said.
“Other schools have brought these
services back in house and saved
money while providing workers better
conditions and healthier, fresher food,”
Moravian junior Armando Chapelliquen,
Students for a Democratic Society, said.
Lehigh Valley-area students are part of
a national movement to end mandatory
meal plans. Students at schools such
as the University of Alabama have filed
class action lawsuits to end the practice.

“One thing I Know How to do is make the Camera Lie”
by Carli Timpson
Managing Editor
On Wednesday, November 10, New
York-based artist Lori Nix visited
Moravian College as part of the Rose
and Rudy S. Ackerman Lecture Series.
Nix is known for her large scale
photographs of intricate hand-constructed
dioramas, that branch a variety of
subject matter, but most commonly
explore landscape scenes. Nix has been
influenced by childhood experiences
specific to her upbringing in a small
Kansas town of 3500 residents.
“… Each passing season [in Kansas]
brought its own drama, from winter
snow storms, spring floods and tornados
to summer insect infestations and
drought. Whereas most adults
viewed these seasonal disruptions
with angst, for a child it was considered
euphoric. Downed trees, mud, even
grass fires brought excitement to
daily, mundane life,” Nix said.
Following the completion of her
graduate degree in 1996 Nix was living
in Columbus, Ohio, and desired to
photograph images that were reminiscent
of her childhood without actually
having to return to Kansas. In response,
she began to craft and photograph
small dioramas that recreated the
mood and tone of her memories.
Her first series, “Accidentally
Kansas,” begun in 1998, are fanciful
representations of extreme conditions
including snow storms, floods and
summer insect infestations. The series
also features several intriguing disaster
scenes including a nose-diving blimp,
tornado and overturned rail car spilling
hazardous chemicals. Each image in this
series has been carefully constructed and
photographed with childish enthusiasm
and while simple, are enriched by Nix’s
and the viewer’s imagined narrative.
With each image projected during
the presentation, Nix would say “You
can think up your own story for this, but
what I think happened is…” and launch
off into her incredibly entertaining and
humorous vision of the plot occurring
prior to or during the moment of her
image. Indeed, her unfettered enthusiasm,
straightforward approach and plaintermed description of her art make
it all the more accessible to a wider
audience who are easily turned off by
other artists’ rambling filibustering.
“Lovers’ Leap,” 2001, from Nix’s
second series, “Some Other Place” was
one her first major diorama scenes and
incorporates just such a questioning
dialogue. In the middle-ground of the
image there is a woman falling into the
river, with a male figure still standing on
the bridge. Nix asks viewers to question
what exactly the circumstances leading to
this situation are: Did he push her off the
bridge? Did she leap of her own volition?
Did they make a pact to jump together
and he backed out at the last moment?
These playfully grotesque motivations
creep into all of Nix’s images.
“I remember watching Towering
Inferno, Earthquake, Planet of Apes
and sitting in awe in the dark. Here
was the same type of dangers I had
experienced day to day being magnified
and played out on the big screen in a
typical Hollywood way,” Nix said.
Perhaps this has inspired her process
in imagining new images. “Bounty,” 2004,
from the third series “Lost” was dreamt
up when, while commuting to work, Nix
mused what she would find under the
East River should her train from Brooklyn
to Manhattan plunge off the bridge.
Nix relocated to Brooklyn following
her first series, and feeds off the menagerie
of the city as a source of inspiration.
Conversely, a lack of movement and
energy greatly stifles her process.
“[When I return to Kansas for the
holidays] I feel myself shrinking…
my ideas just dry up,” Nix said.
Energy certainly is vital when building
the diorama, which can take anywhere
from 1 to 15 month from original
conceptualization to completion. Nix,
with help from her partner, Kathleen
Gerber, constructs all of her scenes
by hand from a variety of different
materials including resin, foam, skewers,
earring backings, etc… Anything
she can find that can be manipulated
to fit the appearance she desires.
The dioramas continue to grow
increasingly complex and detailed as
evidenced by “The Library,” 2007, from
her latest series, “The City.” Each book
on the shelves was hand carved from
foam and painted. Given the tremendous
amount of minute detail in her works
that consume long amounts time, not
to mention dominate the living room
in her apartment, it is hard to believe
that she does not become overwhelmed
or disinterested in her work.
Nix does admit that while her
living room (also her studio) can feel
“claustrophobic” and that there are
“tedious moments” of the process, she still
remains highly committed to each work.
Part of this persistence is Nix’s
insistence that each diorama is
completed as perfectly as possible. This
way, says Nix, when she photographs
and prints her images there is
virtually no end work to be done.
None of Nix’s images are manipulated
either in the darkroom or on the
computer; she instead chooses to
play with light and depth of field to
optimize the quality of the original
negative. Nix also uses 8 x 10” negatives
(the largest available) allowing her
to create very large prints without
losing any crispness of detail.
True to her apocalyptic and sciencefiction sensibilities, images from “The
City” are more compelling than
ever, with dynamic interior scenes of
buildings devoid of human life that
are crumbling and becoming overrun
with plant and animal life. “The City”
is on view at ClampArt Gallery in
Manhattan through December 18.

Make Sense of Your World
Photo Courtesy of drcolburn.com
by Brooke Mann
Reporter
On the evening of Tuesday, November
16th, the Moravian Marketing Group
hosted an event in PPHAC, room 102,
called “Pursue Your Passion: How to
Make Sense of Your World”. The event
introduced the audience to five Moravian
professors, who have produced their
own published work. The professors
were kind enough to sit down and talk
with students about the books they have
published and were willing to discuss how
they feel their occupations and written
works can help others to discover their
own paths in life and achieve their goals.
The panel consisted of Dr. Joel
Rosen, professor of Sociology, Dr. Joyce
Hinnefield, professor of English and
director of the Writing Center, Professor
Mark Harris, an Environmental Journalist,
Dr. Gary Kaskowitz, professor of
Economics and Business, Dr. Jason Radine,
professor of Religion, and Dr. James West,
professor of Economics and Business.
Caitlin O’ Connor, president of the
Moravian Marketing Club, organized the
author panel and asked the professors
questions which helped students to
understand the message of each professor’s
book. She also inquired about each
professor’s thoughts and reactions to what
he or she learned from writing their books.
There were many diverse topics covered
during the panel and each professor had
a different story to tell. Kaskowitz’s book,
Brand It Like Barack! discusses the ways
in which our president used marketing
tactics in order to make himself known
throughout the United States. Kaskowitz emphasized the message that
discovering what one believes in, and
putting forth such a message, can truly
help one to accomplish one’s goals.
He stated, “I’m a big believer in
understanding yourself and the people you
interact with in order to increase the value
you both give to and get from the world.”
Throughout the course of the panel, it
became apparent that there was not just
one answer to the question of how to
accomplish one’s dreams and aspirations,
but many different answers. The panel’s answers were presented to
the audience in a way which allowed
students to recognize the relevant
connections between each occupation
and common themes that develop
throughout each professor’s experiences.
In West’s case, pursing one’s passion
may not be found in traveling or in
one’s daily occupation but in the
simple pleasure of writing poetry.
Some of the questions presented to the
professors allowed them to explain how
their research allowed them to gain insight
into the meaning of his or her occupation.
For instance, Harris shared with
students how discovering greener ways of
burial process in his book Grave Matters:
A Journey Through the Modern Funeral
Industry to a Natural Way of Burial
allowed him to become united with a
variety of cultures, their funeral traditions,
and feel the emotional attachments
involved with the burial process.
Similarly, Hinnefield’s novel, Stranger
Here Below was able to further discover
the practices and ideals of a community of
people known as “Shakers” and informed
students of one of the main themes in
her book by stating, “If we go forward
without learning from our mistakes, we
risk repeating the same mistakes.”
The Author Panel was a wonderful
event to attend in order to uncover ways
of gaining insight to one’s direction in life
and feeling confident about the future.
O’ Connor said, “I hope that
students will be able to recognize that no
matter what they are interested in and
what they wish to pursue in their own lives,
that it is possible to overcome any barriers
they have to achieving their dreams.”

Featured Club: German Club
Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
by Cory Creen
Reporter
If you have not heard about any of the events
German Club holds here at Moravian College, then
perhaps you have gotten in the habit of deleting
Moravian e-mail far too often! German Club has
been at Moravian for more than five years and has
been increasing in its membership since its founding.
The German Club is one of a few
clubs that offers special interest housing
through the Office of Student Affairs.
The great thing about the club is that you
just need to be interested in anything German.
Meetings are held in English and afterwards,
members socialize in both English and German.
The German Club is well-known for their
events. Some of their biggest campus-wide
events include the Oktoberfest party, two
campus-wide German-themed films, and the
Christmas party. These events draw many
people together for some German culture.
The Club works hard to create as authentic
an experience as possible. For those who prefer
smaller events, German Club hosts many in-house
movies, small trips, and a monthly Stamptisch, a
meal at a German-themed restaurant. German
Club is always planning some event or activity.
If you are looking for someone who has your
interest in some aspect of the German culture,
or if you are looking for a place to practice your
German, then check out the German Club.
They are located at 1300 Main Street
or contact sophomore Lindsey Lemmel,
current president. You can also stop by their
meetings at 4:30 PM on Wednesdays!

International Poetry Night is a Succès
by Cory Creen
Reporter
International Poetry Night had another successful
run this year as the packed house enjoyed authentic
food from different cultures and listened to a variety
of poems and songs in many languages ranging from
Spanish and German to Creole and Old English. The
event was held at 7:30 p.m. on November 13, 2010,
at the Dog House in the Zinzendorf building.
Both students and faculty alike read their own
written work or shared their favorite piece by another
writer. An English language translation or summary
was projected onto a wall behind the presenter. Overall
the event was highly popular amongst the audience.
“It was really cool that so many people
showed up to the event [International Poetry
Night],” said freshman Dylan Tajerian.
More than 50 people came together that night, all
very excited to hear the poetry. Between poems and
intermission, attendees enjoyed discussion and a wide
range of international food and beverage choices.
The evening offered many highlights such as a holidaythemed reading by Dr. John Black, professor of English,
in Middle English, readings from alumni, and a night
dedication to senior Kate Brueningsen who has been
highly involved in helping put together this annual event.
International Poetry Night is just one of the
many community events held at Moravian college
that provide an entertaining and educational
experience. This event shares the importance of
diversity, multiculturalism, and open expression.

Feldman and Henkleman
Named 2011 Student Body
President and Vice President

by Kelly Grab
Editor-in-Chief
On Tuesday, November 16 th the United
Student Government (USG) announced that after
a competitive election process sophomores Carl
Feldman and Lindsay Henkleman would be the
next Student Body President and Vice President.
Feldman is the current vice president, who served,
under current president senior Corey Koenig.
Feldman credit’s Koenig’s leadership for his desire to
run for office, “ In high school I was not a particularly
involved person but was very active in organizations
outside of the school. When I came to Moravian I
felt as though by getting involved in USG I would
be fully emerging myself in my new environment
and through that I met Corey Koenig, the current
President, who I identified as a strong role model.”
Koenig has high hopes for the Feldman/Henkleman
office, “I have thoroughly enjoyed serving as Student
Body President during the past two years and look
forward to seeing what great work Carl and Lindsay
accomplish over the next year. I am certain that they
will continue influencing change on campus and that
students will continue to benefit under their leadership.”
After the announcement of his new presidential
appointment Feldman said, “I believe that both Lindsay
and I, in or out of the USG office, will be able to have a
strong positive influence on the community through our
actions. The position of president and vice president only
allows us to project that message further and more clearly.”
Feldman and Henkleman identified the following
projects they hope to continue to work on over the next
year to better serve Moravian students: increased parking,
the ability to use meal plans off campus and to add a
fourth bus to the North to South campus shuttle run.
“Parking remains at the top of the list; from a
physical space perspective and within the processes
itself. If I had my way lots S & T would be opened
up to commuters tomorrow, and I will be working
towards that. As well a project began by Corey is
a reformation of the parking appeals process in
which we hope to reduce bias and increase fairness
on behalf of the students using it,” Feldman said.
Generally speaking, Feldman has high hopes
for his administration, “Lindsay and I will work
extremely hard to deliver that which we are hoping
to get for the college but we know that even the small
things take a long time. I know that even with our
110% effort if they are not achieved instantaneously,
they have at least now been brought to the table
and because they are things that students want, and
have wanted, they will be achieved,” he said.
The Feldman/Henkleman administration will consist
of freshman Ruben De La Cruz as Treasurer, freshman
Jordan Roman as Chief of Staff, and sophomore
Julie Rodriguez as Events Council Chairwoman.
They are still seeking students to fill the roles
of Director of PR and Marketing, Events Council
Members, Director of IT, and Comptroller.
Feldman and his administration will not be
formally inaugurated until January. Until then,
Koenig will remain in his role as president.
“No Parking in Dorm Circle”…
or Anywhere Else for that Matter
by Dan Heil
Reporter
If you’ve been having trouble finding a parking spot
on campus and you own a parking hang-tag, you are not
alone. Many commuters of Moravian College have had
an immense amount of difficulty finding a spot to park
their vehicles, particularly on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Since the surfacing of these complaints, student
body president and senior Corey Koenig, vice president
and sophomore Carl Feldman, as well as the rest of
the Moravian United Student Government have been
tirelessly fighting for a better parking system at Moravian.
After a meeting with College President Christopher
Thomforde regarding this issue, Koenig reported that
Thomforde was very sympathetic to the unfortunate
parking situation and he fully supports the efforts by
USG to correct this issue. Although commuters have
since been told to park in the Steel Field Lot, many
students have been left feeling as though this is an
inconvenience that should have never occurred.
Following this situation, USG further investigated
the appeals process that is currently implemented here
at Moravian. It is not uncommon to hear someone
complain that they received a rather unfair ticket and
felt as though their appeal was unjustly denied.
“It wasn’t a fair process at all. I was simply parking my
car in front of my suite for 30 minutes while I changed for
work because it was cold and raining out. I was confident
that my ticket would be overturned by the Appeals
Committee, and all that I received was an email stating
simply ‘denied’ with no further explanation. Something
has to be done to fix this,” senior Ben Leavy said.
Something in fact is being done to fix this. The
Moravian USG has proposed several changes to
the appeals process including: anonymous appeal
applications, bylaws for the Committee, someone to
oversee this process, a member of the Committee taking
minutes, and following each semester the Committee
should gather together a list of suggestions in order
to decrease the amount of tickets given on campus.
Although frustration and angst have ensued from
these circumstances, all of the students at Moravian
should be comforted by the fact that our student body
is working hard to better this situation. It is anticipated
that changes to fix the lack of parking spaces as well as
the appeals process will be implemented as soon as next
semester. While this doesn’t fix the immediate problems,
students should take solace in the fact that change for
a better parking system is certainly in the near future.

Confusion About Student Shuttle
Services: Do You Know when it comes?
by Emmy Usera
Reporter
News & Feature
PAGE 7
Bus Schedule
Breakdown
Monday—Friday:
Imagine never having a shuttle bus. Some students
would be okay with it, others would “suffer.”
“When I was at Moravian, we had to walk
back and forth from North to South Campus,”
Ann Claussen, alumna and Director of the
HUB and Event Management, said.
Recently, there have been many complaints
circulating the college community about
the bus system here at Moravian.
“Before the HILL, we had a single bus. After the
HILL was built, we had to revamp the transportation
system and add an additional three buses,” Andy
Anderson, Director of Facilities, said.
Many complain that the bus schedule is
unclear and is not widely known. The official
schedule for the bus system is as follows:
On Monday thru Friday, there are two, 32 passenger
buses that begin at 7:00am. One of the buses remains
in service until 3pm while the other goes until 4pm.
Another 24 passenger bus begins at 11:00 a.m. and
stays in service until 7:00 p.m. Then, a second shift
driver (driving one of the 32 passenger buses) comes in
at 4:00 p.m. This bus stays in service until 12:30 a.m.
Each driver takes a half hour lunch break, depending
on his or her shift. The lunch breaks are 12-12:30
p.m, 12:45-1:15 p.m, 1:30-2:00 p.m, and 6:30-7:00 p.m.
During these breaks, there is a reduction of the number
of students who can be bused between the campuses.
On the other hand, the weekends are a different
story. It follows are more precise schedule. On
Saturdays and Sundays, from 9 a.m.-12:30 a.m., there
is one 24-passenger bus. The bus leaves the HUB on
the hour and the half hour, while the bus leaves the
HILL at the quarter after and quarter of the hour.
Each bus averages about a distance of 60
miles a day. There are three buses during the
day and one at night. So overall, all of the buses
approximate about 1,400 miles a week.
Financially, the College employs 4 full time and
3 part time drivers and owns 2 buses and leases the
other 2. Maintenance and insurance are additional
costs and the College has used 2566 gallons of fuel
between all vehicles combined so far this semester.
So far, there have been 9,855 total bus runs between
the HUB and the HILL servicing a total of 78,342
riders. There have been 5,109 total bus runs with 5 or
less riders on the bus. There has been a remarkable
834 bus runs with 0 riders and 1,728 students were
either picked up or dropped off at the parking garage.
Students often complain about the times the buses
come. It is supposed to stay at one location in 3 minutes.
“I hate how they make us wait for like 20 minutes and
then two buses come at the same time it usually happens
in the morning so I have to leave my room earlier
just to catch a bus that’s actually on time,” sophomore
and South Campus Resident Brenna Maier said.
As far as peak times are concerned, they change
each semester due to class schedules. As of right
now, the peak times are 8:30 to 9:00 a.m, 9:45
to 10:15 a.m, 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m, 3:30 to 4:30
p.m, 5:45 to 6:30 p.m, 9:00 to 10:30 p.m.
Double-Bus runs, a term used by facilities and bus
drivers refer to back to back morning classes in the HILL
which can cause pandemonium in getting to class on time.
“This means that 60+ students may get out of class at
the same time and need rides to the HUB. At the HUB,
there could be 60+ riders waiting for a ride to the HILL
for their next class during this same time period. If a
single bus pulled up at either of these spots, only half
would get a ride.....or would try to pile onto the bus and
cause unsafe conditions. For these classes, we send both
buses to the HILL at the same time. This way everyone
gets a ride. The drivers then load up both buses at the
HUB and head to the other stop in an attempt to get
everyone to class on time. If students that didn’t have
back to back classes on opposite campuses would choose
a slightly earlier departure time, they would be riding on
a bus with 7 or 8 riders on it instead of 32,” Anderson said.
Rumors have been circulating about the
addition of a fourth bus and some future
student leaders want to pursue this addition.
“We do have a fourth bus,” Anderson said. “It is a 12
passenger bus that has an ADA chair lift equipment.
However, it only goes into service when there is
an ADA need or when one of the other buses is out
of service. As a result, it would not make financial
sense to have this bus in service on a regular basis
due to its modicum rider capacity,” he continued.
Many agree that the bus system here at Moravian is
essential to provide transportation to the thousands of
students who commute between the campuses. While
there may be complaints surfacing the community, there
is an immense consensus worth noting among many of
the college riders: “All the bus drivers are really nice!”

CD Review: A Day to
Remember is What
Separates Me from You
by Shane Burcaw
Copy Editor
As I sat in my living room listening
to “What Separates Me from You”,
which is the fourth album by A Day to
Remember, I was filled with an array
of feelings. First of all, I’m pretty sure
my heart was beating harder at the end
of the CD than it was when I started,
because each of the 10 songs is fastpaced and exciting. Unfortunately
though, by the end of the album, I
noticed that there really isn’t a standout
track, which was a letdown for me.
It’s obvious that A Day to Remember
was trying to combine the heavy
breakdowns of metalcore with the
catchy sounds of pop-punk, and it
definitely works on some of the songs,
but I’m still not entirely sure about how
I feel about the album as a whole.
The first track on the album, “Sticks
& Bricks” has a powerful and melodic
tone that really sets the pace for the rest
of the album. You can feel the emotion
in Jeremy McKinnon’s voice when he
cries, “Where were you, when my walls
came falling down?” There were a few
parts in this song when I felt like the
band was being heavy just for the sake
of being heavy, but overall it serves as
a very energetic start to the album.
In my opinion, the songs “It’s
Complicated,” “Out Of Time”, and “If I
Leave” are the best examples of the poppunk direction that A Day to Remember
seems to be moving towards. It is a
bold move for a band with such a wellestablished sound to change up their
Photo Courtesy of dowmusics.blogspot.com
style like ADTR attempts to do in this
album, but these three tracks were three
of my favorites. The change in sound
may be attributed to the changing of lead
guitarists between the last album and the
newest. I’m sure there are going to be
many people who hate on this new sound,
but the lyrics of the songs prove that the
band has grown musically over the years.
At the same time, the songs “2nd
Sucks” and “You Be Tails, I’ll Be Sonic”
give the hardcore fans all they could ask
for, with multiple pounding breakdowns.
Everything about these songs is bigger
and more intense than what the band had
previously accomplished. To me, it’s pretty
sweet that they are able to combine such
heavy breakdowns with softer choruses
that actually sound good into single songs.
As of right now the only song I can
see myself listening to more than a few
times is, “All Signs Point To Lauderdale.”
Catchy-ness can be found throughout
this entire song and the lyrics are real and
relatable. It’s the kind of song that makes
you excited when it comes up on shuffle
while you’re driving on the highway.
If you are a fan of A Day to Remember,
pick up a copy of this album! Everyone is
going to have different opinions about it,
but the only way to find out for yourself is
to listen to it. For those of you who have
never listened to A Day to Remember,
if you are looking for some new and
exciting music to jam to, “What Separates
Me from You” will not let you down.

O.A.R is Of A Revolution
by Alissa Lastres
Reporter
Of A Revolution, more popularly
known as O.A.R. definitely proved
that their approach to music
is “revolutionary.” On Saturday,
November 20th O.A.R. performed
for a campus full of excited fans.
After sold out performances
throughout the summer in Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, Kansas City and
Cleveland, O.A.R. came to Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania to perform for the
students of Moravian College.
The tension rose as students anxiously
awaited the band’s appearance. With the
echo of screams filling Johnston Hall, the
members of O. A.R, Marc Roberge, Chris
Culos, Richard On, Benj Gershman, and
Jerry DePizzo, walked onto the stage.
The band was sure to provide a taste
of what will be coming on their newest
album, which they have not yet titled, but
will most likely hit stores in the beginning
of 2011. But, of course, they also played
songs off of their albums “Risen,” released
in 2001 and “Wanderer,” released in 1997.
The on stage presence of O.A.R.
elicited a lively response from the
crowd. The band’s members were upbeat
and witty, captivating the audience
even in-between their songs. The
concert was undoubtedly a success.
Although their newest songs were met
with some apprehension, considering that
their most popular hits like “Shattered”
and “Hey Girl” were not used to hook
students in from the beginning, the
concert overall was a great change of
pace from a typical Saturday night.
With the energy of the crowd being
as strong as it was, some may wonder
if the anticipation of a bi-annual big
name band is stronger than that of
the previous annual concerts. One
student, junior Lindsay Connolly said,
“I would prefer a concert every year.
Either way, I’m still excited because
it’s yearly, not every weekend.”
Without a doubt, the attendance
and excitement that made this
concert a success is something that
Moravian should strive for yearly,
whether that be through a musical
performance or a comedian/speaker.

Dine on a Dime
by: Kasara McLaughlin
Copy Editor
Delivery Dual Edition
It was 5 p.m. on a Friday night, which
is one of the busiest times of the week
for restaurants in the area. I decided to
give a pop quiz to two pizza shops near
the college: Domino’s and Lehigh Pizza!
The quiz would be vigorous, testing all
of the important aspects of a great pizza
place: price, delivery time, courtesy, and
willingness to please the customer!
I called Lehigh Pizza first, because they
were a little bit farther. I asked for a thin
crust, light cheese, light sauce pizza. I was
surprised by their compliance, and the
price was just as surprising at just over
eleven dollars. I was a little disappointed
when I heard, “All right ma’am, it’ll
be forty-five minutes to an hour.”
So, I waited five more minutes to call
Domino’s because one of their many
pizza shops is located right up the road,
therefore much closer to the school. I
requested the same exact pizza, but
was told a much different price.
I thought that a chain restaurant
(with a current deal of a take-out
two topping pizza for $5.99), would
be super cheap. Unfortunately,
however, my healthy pizza was two
dollars more than Lehigh’s price, and
over double the price of a pizza with
fatty toppings - this was absurd.
“Thirty-five minutes,” said the man
on the other side of the line. I was
appalled, it would take them less
time, less effort, and fewer materials
to make a healthy pizza, but it was
leaps and bounds more expensive?
The pizza arrived from Domino’s
in twenty-five minutes. The box felt
like it was empty, and when I opened
it, I could barely tell there was even
a pizza inside. They weren’t kidding
when they said that “thin isn’t an issue.”
It was literally the same thickness as
the plastic paper it was sitting on, but
low-carb pizza looked great to me.
My fellow experimenters, however,
were not as happy. The pizza was
chopped up into about twenty different
squares, it was super awkward to
eat, and it left some of them feeling
unsatisfied. There was almost no
sauce, but a decent amount of cheese.
Thirty minutes after Domino’s pizza
was delivered, Lehigh’s pizza had finally
arrived. This pizza felt much heavier,
which was odd since it was cheaper.
The sauce was minimal, but there was,

Photo Courtesy of findlocal.mcall.com
once again, a satisfying amount of cheese.
Overall, one out of the four subjects
preferred Domino’s over Lehigh Pizza.
The price wasn’t a factor for that person,
but the delivery time and taste were more
enjoyable. The other three enjoyed Lehigh
astronomically more than the Domino’s
pizza, and said that the delivery time was
worth the quality of the delivered pizza.
So, as we see here, it all depends
on how important each facet of this
pop quiz was for you. If you care about
price but are not concerned as much
with what your calorie counter will
report, then Lehigh is for you! If you
want a healthy pizza fast, despite the
cost, then Domino’s is the right choice.

Recap of Moravian
College Volleyball 2010
by Katie Makoski
Reporter
The Moravian College Volleyball Team
ended its season on a high note. With a
final tally of twenty-two wins and twelve
losses, the ladies on the team have a
record reflective of all the hard work
that was put into this season. What’s
more, for the first time in four years,
the team made an ECAC appearance.
Shelley Bauder, Moravian’s volleyball
coach for the past eighteen years, said,
“We played very well defensively, and
we were much more consistent on
offense [than we were last season].”
Unfortunately, senior Mary King, who
was said to be the team’s best hitter and
blocker, was injured for the entire season.
Despite this setback, the team showed
much improvement over last season.
In particular, sophomores Jesse
Krasley and Samantha Savite showed
off their skills this season and were
both named to Landmark AllConference Volleyball Teams.
The team worked very hard, but the
women also had the chance to have
a lot of fun. Over fall break, these
Volleyball playing Greyhounds traveled
to California, where they played games
against independent schools. The trip
was one of the highlights of the year, as
well as an amazing opportunity for the
teammates to bond with one another.
Coach Shelley Bauder is looking
forward to next year already,
and she hopes to see continued
improvement in the team.
Bauder also hopes to see more
fans in the stands next season. She
said, “Volleyball is fun to watch-come
to one game, and you’ll be hooked.”

Moravian’s Men and
Women’s Cross Country
by Shane Burcaw
Copy Editor
The men and women’s cross country
seasons drew to a close on November
20, 2010 when Matthew Lutcza ’12 and
Cadee Rockwell ’12 both competed for
the first time in the NCAA Division
III National Championship Meet
hosted by Wartburg College.
Moravian has not had a male
athlete qualify for cross country
nationals since 1996 and a female
hasn’t qualified since 2002.
From these facts alone it’s obvious
that Moravian’s men and women’s cross
country teams had pretty successful
seasons, and even though individual
race times are very important in
cross-country, it is just as much a
team sport as any other sport.
Prior to coming to Moravian this
year, Coach David Cohen was part of the
coaching staff at La Salle University where
he helped the men’s cross country team to
a fifth place finish at the Division 1 MidAtlantic Regional cross country meet.
When asked to comment about this
past season, Cohen said, “this season
was a big step in the right direction.”
The men and women’s cross-country
teams each competed in eight meets
this season, including nationals.
The men’s team ran their most
impressive race on October 16, when
they placed 4th out of 24 teams at the
Leopard Invitational at Lafayette College.
The women’s team ran hard all season
and ended the team season with a 16th
out of 45 finish at the NCAA Division
III Mideast Region Championship
Photo Courtesy Brent Hugo
hosted by Carnegie Mellon University.
The men’s team also placed 16th at
the same Regional Championship,
running against 46 other schools.
One of the many reasons that both
teams had such a great season was
the practice regimen that both teams
followed throughout the season.
Cohen said, “Monday is easy minutes,
strides, and core. Tuesday is a workout
and med-ball work. Wednesday is
a longer run and hurdle mobility.
Thursday is just like Monday. Friday is
a workout and med-ball work. Saturday
is [up to the runners] if there is no race,
and is a short run with no auxiliary
work. Friday becomes like Saturday
if we have a Saturday competition.
Sunday is long with hurdle mobility.”
Moravian’s practice schedule
is a symbol of how hard both the
teams worked to get better.
Looking forward, Cohen explained
that he thinks both teams can be even
better than they were this year.
He said, “Next year, I want 2 males
and 2 females to qualify [for Nationals].
In 2012, I want both teams to qualify.”
Moravian’s cross country teams
definitely have the right attitude to be
successful again in the years to come.
Cohen summed up the past season
as well as Moravian’s attitude when he
said, “Anyone can go out and run. Most
people can’t go out and put their nose to
the grindstone for 8k or 6k (the men’s
and women’s race distances). You have
to be willing to hurt to run really fast.”
