The television studio in Alumnae 

Hall buzzed with curiosity earlier in the 

week as eager students waited to hear 

about the new approved Communication 

majors. 

Dr. James Brancato, Professor of 

Communication and Elizabeth Ortiz, 

Assistant Professor of Communication 

informed the students that the proposed 

three new Communication majors— 

Media Studies, New Media, and Health 

Communication--- had been approved 

unanimously at a faculty meeting. 

Although Brancato and Ortiz are 

in the process of adding to the department 

and securing a professor to be in 

charge of the New Media major, Christine 

Schiavo will be returning as a parttime 

adjunct professor. Schiavo, the 

Sunday Editor at The Morning Call, 

previously taught Communication 

classes at Cedar Crest as well as advised 

The Crestiad. She will be teaching 

the Introduction to Journalism 

classes, the Advanced Journalism 

classes, as well as return to her role of 

adviser to The Crestiad. 

Both the Media Studies and New 

Media majors will be available beginning 

next semester, however the Health 

Communication major is planned to 

debut in the 2012-2013 academic 

school year. In addition to the implementation 

of the new majors, the 

course designation will be changed 

from “CST” to “COM.”

Last month the Forensic Science Education 

Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC) 

approved Cedar Crest’s application for accreditation 

of the Master of Science in Forensic Science 

program. 

FEPAC is interested in standards of curriculum, 

assessment, institutional support, quality 

of faculty, and how engaged a program is and 

the program’s interaction in the professional 

community. Cedar Crest’s undergraduate forensic 

science program was one of the first five in 

the country to be accredited, which was 

Lawrence Quarino, Ph. D., the Director of the 

Forensic Science program, top priority when he 

started at the institution in 2002. There are now 

17 accredited graduate level programs in forensic 

science, of which Cedar Crest is the only 

women’s institution and the smallest school. 

Cedar Crest is one of only four institutions that 

have both accredited undergraduate and graduate 

programs in this field. Women dominate academic 

studies of forensic science, and

cuses on the analysis and criticism of 

media institutions and media texts, how 

people experience and understand 

media content, and the roles of media 

in producing and transforming culture.” 

The major will require 45 credits 

of coursework including 12 credits in 

Core Curriculum, 12 credits in Perspectives, 

6 credits in Applications, 3 

credits in Advanced Study, 6 credits in 

Communication Electives and an additional 

6 credits which come from COM 

102: Media Literacy and COM 342: 

Media Studies Seminar. 

New courses in this major include 

COM 112: Media Industries, COM 

200: Communication Theory and Research, 

COM 102: Media Literacy, 

COM 252: Online Journalism, and 

COM 275: Persuasion and Propaganda 

among others. Student favorites COM 

272: Children and the Media, COM 

270: Race and Gender in the Media, 

and COM 245: Topics in Popular Culture 

will be returning and count towards 

the Perspectives requirement. 

Currently on the rise, “new media” 

refers to all forms of media including 

audio, video, and text and the ways in 

which it is delivered digitally through 

web and mobile technologies. As stated 

in the literature that will appear in the 

Course Catalog, “The New Media 

major offers an interdisciplinary study 

that combines both the practical skills it 

takes to create new media with the historical 

and theoretical understanding 

needed to be a successful communicator 

in the 21st century.” 

See COMM, page 3 

Statistics, in 2008, of the 660 Bachelor’s of Science 

forensic science degrees conferred, 510 of 

them were conferred to women, and of 586 Master’s 

of Science in Forensic Science degrees conferred 

461 went to women. 

The graduate program is heavily research 

based, and the accreditation could mean more 

research funds will be awarded to Cedar Crest. 

Quarino commented, “in order to get research 

funds you need to partner with a FEPAC accredited 

school.” Quarino expects that in the 

coming years it will be difficult for schools without 

accreditation to attract students, as being accredited 

adds to the credibility of any program 

and will likely increase chances of job placement. 

It is suggested that undergrads interested

have an undergraduate experience with a solid 

foundation in actual sciences. 

“There is a perception that the forensic science 

program is a ‘professional program’ and I 

don’t think that’s a bad term, but I consider it a 

science program the way that chemistry is a science 

program; this program is creating scientists 

as well. The skills that you learn from a forensic 

science program certainly allow you to compete 

in other fields.” In fact, forensic sciences 

are not restricted to criminalistics, recent Cedar 

Crest graduates have worked in other fields such 

as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and medical research. 

According to Quarino, 10 percent of 

Cedar Crest Forensic Science graduates are involved 

in a science doctoral program. “One reason 

for the accreditation was because we didn’t 

want the ‘science’ to be left out of forensic science.” 

Quarino mentioned the CSI effect in discussing 

the popular conceptions of what forensic 

science is, and noted that he hoped that we 

would not lose science in pop-culture.

Obama’s “Educate to Innovate” receives 

multimillion dollar gift from Intel 

JESS BOLLUYT 

Staff Writer 

President Barack Obama delivered his 

Feb. 19th weekly address from the Oregon 

campus of Intel Corporation, a company 

which has made a 10 year, $200 million dollar 

commitment to the advancement of America's 

math and science education. 

Intel's gift is part of the president's “Educate 

to Innovate” campaign, an initiative to 

help students across America excel in science, 

technology, engineering, and math 

(STEM) subject areas. The campaign seeks 

to increase STEM literacy, to provide education 

and career opportunities to groups that 

are traditionally underrepresented in these 

fields, and to bring America's students to the 

top of the global competition in the STEM 

subject areas. 

Obama said that Intel demonstrates the 

commitment to education that is crucial to 

America's future. Intel is a leader not only in 

scientific innovation that puts America at the 

technological forefront, but has invested in 

America's future though its emphasis on domestic 

business development. Intel has now

American abortion rates in a Manhattan Soho 

neighborhood was taken down. 

In the Manhattan Soho neighborhood, 

just about a mile from a Planned Parenthood 

facility, a billboard stated "The most dangerous 

place for an African-American is in the 

womb. “The billboard also featured a little 

African-American girl with the tagline. 

According to Hal Kilshaw, the 

spokesperson of the Louisiana-based advertising 

company, Lamar Advertising, the sign 

was taken down due to concerns of the public 

safety. According to Lamar Advertising, 

the sign was put up by a group opposed of 

abortion. However the company’s decision to 

remove the billboard was not because of the 

controversy around it. Kilshaw also stated 

"We accepted the copy in accordance with 

our policy, we believe in people's right to advertise,

America's position in the global market with 

its partnership with the “Educate to Innovate” 

campaign. Part of Intel's $200 million will 

fund education for more than 100,000 math 

and science teachers over the next three 

years. Intel also supports the Intel Science 

Talent Search and the Intel International Science 

and Engineering Fair. These programs 

together educate 600,000 American students 

every year. 

Intel is just one of the corporations partnering 

with the President's campaign to improve 

STEM education. The Federal 

government has made $4.35 billion available 

to schools that can develop innovations in 

STEM education, and private corporations 

have offered an additional $260 million to 

support related programs. Connect a Million 

Minds, a venture of Time-Warner Cable, 

works to inspire students to pursue education 

and career opportunities in STEM fields by 

connecting students with resources in their 

area. Sesame Workshop, the organization behind 

the TV show “Sesame Street,” has developed 

initiatives to bring math and science 

education to preschoolers. The Entertainment 

Software Association, the Information 

behind that decision.” 

Foxnews.com reported that “Some residents 

had said they found the billboard offensive, 

and members of the black 

community were especially outraged by it.” 

The billboard had been attached to a 

building, which houses restaurant Lupe’s 

Kitchen. Staff members at the restaurant were 

being questioned by customers who objected 

to the billboard being advertised on the building. 

The sign was paid for by an organization 

called Life Always, an anti-abortion group, 

that was a part of a national campaign tied to 

Black History Month in February. 

On thatsabortion.com, it states why the 

group decided to put the billboard up. The 

group states “African American children are 

under attack in New York City. In 2009, 59.8 

percent of black pregnancies in NYC ended 

in abortion. There were 40,798 induced abortions 

compared to 27,405 live births. Planned

abortions nationwide a year, places the ma- 

Technology Industry Council, Sony Computer 

Entertainment America, Microsoft Corporation, 

and the MacArthur Foundation 

have partnered to provide video games that 

teach science and math skills by hosting a series 

of game-design competitions. 

The “Educate to Innovate” campaign 

also makes significant contributions toward 

connecting and supporting teachers in the 

STEM disciplines. The National Lab Network 

provides a platform for the development 

of communities of teachers, volunteers, 

and scientists dedicated to bringing STEM 

education opportunities to K-12 students. The 

program supports collaborative relationships 

between teachers and scientists to bring science 

into the classrooms. Intel is offering 

teachers support through education, from an 

80-hour math course for elementary school 

teachers to web-based professional development 

tools for science teachers in all grade 

levels. A host of resources, curricula, tools, 

and assessments available at Intel's website 

supplement the education and support that 

teachers are offered. 

The extensive support for the “Educate 

to Innovate” campaign demonstrates that

America recognizes the importance of the 

role that innovation and education will play 

in a future of success in a new century. Dr. 

Nancy King, Chair of the Education Department 

at Cedar Crest, supports the Obama ‘s 

campaign. King said, “The Educate to Innovate 

initiative is critical to the future of our 

country. The plan to improve the performance 

of students in science, technology, engineering, 

and mathematics (STEM) is fundamental 

to our ability to compete in a global 

marketplace.” 

Looking toward the future of the country 

in this global marketplace, Obama ended his 

address on Feb.19 with the words, “The truth 

is, we have everything we need to compete: 

bold entrepreneurs, bright new ideas, and 

world-class colleges and universities. And, 

most of all, we have young people just brimming 

with promise and ready to help us succeed. 

All we have to do is tap that potential. 

That’s the lesson

Planned Parenthood took down their controversial 

billboard on Feb. 24, but is still 

causing a stir nationally for its discriminatory 

message. 

Always board member stated “This is both 

truth and tragedy.” 

The billboard was located a mile away 

from the local Planned Parenthood. The 

Planned Parenthood facility called the ad “a 

condescending effort to stigmatize and sham 

African-American women.” 

Marie Alice Carr, a spokeswoman for 

NARAL Pro-Choice America said “They're 

attacking women for choosing abortion while 

simultaneously destroying family planning, 

their hypocrisy is as large and as obnoxious 

as this billboard." 

On Feb. 23, a press conference was held, 

Pastor Stephen Broden, another board member 

for Life Always, stated at the press conference 

“It's hard to celebrate Black History 

Month with abortion hanging over our community." 

According to cnn.com the billboard was 

removed on Thurs. Feb. 24 because the community 

was outraged and the concerns of the 

public’s safety.

A Little Piece of Heaven: 

Band not alone in remembering “the Rev” 

SARAJANE SEIN 

Opinions Editor 

“I know you’ll find your own 

way, when I’m not with you…” 

Jimmy “the Rev” Sullivan’s voice 

sings hauntingly, on “Fiction,” the 

penultimate track of Avenged Sevenfold’s 

Nightmare. The drummer was 

only 28 when he passed away after 

mixing his prescription pills with alcohol, 

and Nightmare, already in the 

works, became a heart-breaking tribute 

to him. He had written many 

songs for the band as well as being 

the drummer, including the operatic 

“A Little Piece of Heaven” and the 

hits “Almost Easy” and “Afterlife.” 

“He was my best friend since I 

was a child, he was my brother,” 

frontman M. Shadows said in an interview 

with Kerrang. “And he 

passed away. It’s a crazy, crazy 

process. I hope that no one else ever 

has to go through that. It’s just horrible.” 

The surviving members of the 

band, however, were not the only 

people dealing with Sullivan’s loss. 

“I was heading into a Wawa on 

my way to work when my little brother texted me the news. 

I was so stunned, I remember just standing in the middle of 

the Wawa with my mouth hanging open, staring at my 

phone,” Kim Boyle, a 21-year-old fan from Darby, PA, recalled 

about hearing the tragic news. 

The shock and grief felt by fans may come as a surprise 

to many, given that most of those who felt affected had never 

The members of Avenged Sevenfold pay tribute to fallen bandmate Jimmy “the Rev” Sullivan. 

met Sullivan in person. However, this type of grieving is not 

uncommon; it even has a name – “disenfranchised grief.” 

“Disenfranchised grief is simply grief that isn't recognized 

by society: miscarriages, pet loss, death of a celebrity 

or fictional character, death of an ex-spouse, moving, etc,” 

explained Joseph Primo in a column for NJ.com. “Celebrity” 

deaths can be particularly painful when a person looks up to 

a musician as a role model and relies, to 

a certain extent, on their example and 

guidance – losing a person in that role 

can be earth-shattering for many people. 

Jessica Ward, a 20-year-old from Villa 

Rica, GA, pointed out that she considers 

Avenged an important part of her life. 

“Avenged has been my favorite band for 

a very, very long time now and I cherish 

their music and memories very much. 

My heart goes out to the boys and their 

friends and family that were close to 

Jimmy, even after so long. I'm still waiting 

for that day where he'll walk out on 

stage, shirtless as usual, and laugh at all 

of us for falling for his big joke,” she 

said. 

As a way to remember Sullivan’s 

contributions and what he meant to 

the fan community, a message was sent 

out via social networking sites, calling 

upon fans to participate in a tribute 

known as “Dear Jimmy.” The description 

for the event on facebook read, “On Dec. 

28th, write a letter to The Rev. Attach the 

letter to a balloon & let it go so Jimmy 

can read all of our letters. Please spread 

the word.” 1,653 people listed themselves 

as taking part in the tribute; I took part in 

this event, and the image of a balloon 

floating through the darkened sky on the 

28th was an indescribably moving experience. 

Other fans also found ways to pay 

tribute to Sullivan as the anniversary 

came around again. 

“I lit a candle for Jimmy and 

wrote him a letter, watched all his videos 

and listened to his beautiful music. I kept 

him heavy on my thoughts and heart. I

didn't cry too much on the actual 28th, 

Jimmy being gone hits me at random 

times, and the 28th, I wanted to try and 

be happy for him. And I still smile every

time I put on a Pinkly Smooth song and hear that crazy 

voice,” Ward said, referring to Sullivan’s pre-Avenged Sevenfold 

project. 

Ward’s experience as a fan of Sullivan’s is especially 

poignant because she has met the drummer. “Every story I've 

ever heard about Jimmy is absolutely amazing, and since 

I've met him, people sharing those memories with me is really 

something else. I'm a lot like him, in a lot of ways, so 

whenever I see a video of him doing something crazy, I can 

put myself in that situation and my mind-set is always ‘Yeah, 

I could do that.’” 

Ward and Boyle are certain about how they want Sullivan 

to be remembered. 

“Jimmy gives absolutely the greatest hugs in this whole 

entire universe. And his smile lights up the conversation 

when you talk to him. He genuinely cares about his fans,” 

Ward said when asked what she would want people to know 

about Jimmy Sullivan. 

“I always got the feeling he'd be a fun person to know 

because of his love of life and I regret that I didn’t get the 

chance to meet him at least once. Any one who was able too 

in my opinion is really lucky,” Boyle stated. “For the Rev, it 

was just how alive he always seemed to be. Always moving 

around, doing something, being crazy etc. He just always 

seemed genuinely happy and enjoying life and that’s was an 

awesome thing to witness.” 

Daisha McCray, an 18-year-old student from Texas, 

agreed. 

“He was a bright soul with a love for music who wanted 

everyone to enjoy life just as he did.” Perhaps that is the answer 

to be gained from the attachment that Avenged fans still 

feel for the drummer; it could be easy to accuse them of not 

letting an unfortunate death go, but in their way they are, instead, 

keeping Sullivan, his memory, and his energetic personality 

alive. 

It’s likely that Sullivan would have appreciated the fans’ 

steadfast memorials. “I’m just proud and I’m touched when 

I see someone with a new Avenged Sevenfold tat, and now 

I always make sure to check ‘em out if they’re sportin’ one. 

It makes you feel like you’re involved in a huge meaningful 

thing,” he told Drum Magazine in 2007. 

The remaining members of Avenged Sevenfold have 

spent this difficult year finishing up Nightmare and then 

heading out on the road on the Uproar Festival, which also 

included bands such as Stone Sour and Disturbed. On these 

endeavors they were accompanied by ex-Dream Theater 

drummer Mike Portnoy, who was recruited due to his being 

Sullivan’s idol. He has since parted ways with the band, 

however, and current Nightmare after Christmas Tour, they 

have been touring with former Confide drummer Arin Ilejay.

OPINIONS 

Definition of beauty is warped 

VALAYSHIA BROOKINS 

Staff Writer 

Too often, ancient portrayals and the 

media’s ideas of beauty are reiterated in a 

world where they are truly unrealistic. In fact, 

the portraits of beauty that they paint are unattainable 

in the natural world. However, the 

knowledge of it being unattainable does not 

stop both men and women, although more 

notably amongst women, from attempting to 

conform to those ideals of beauty. 

Mainstream media today persistently depicts 

beautiful women as extremely thin, tall, 

fair-skinned, and with a clear, even skin tone 

all over. In essence, she must be flawless. Unfortunately, 

there are very few women in the 

world who are categorized as “flawless” naturally. 

Therefore, a string of problems 

emerge. These issues include low self-esteem, 

self-mutilation, and eating disorders. 

Low self-esteem is the constant feeling 

of not being good enough. This is an issue regardless 

of age. However, it most greatly impacts 

children, even before they reach their 

teenage years. A damaged self-esteem early 

on may be detrimental to their overall development 

and may be very hard to correct later. 

It may be one of the greatest issues, because 

at the root of all the other issues mentioned 

is the distorted image of oneself as a result of 

low self-esteem. 

“In order to attain this unattainable 

image of beauty, countless 

numbers of women mutilate 

themselves.” 

- Valayshia Brookins 

One may argue that it is the parents’ 

duty to help their child build a healthy selfesteem. 

However, one must realize that we 

live in a society where the widely accepted, 

although very impractical, image of beauty is 

impossible to ignore since it is insistently 

projected when we turn on the TV, open a 

magazine, or simply walk down the street and 

look up at a billboard. Additionally, how can 

you shield a child from idolizing a celebrity 

or fictional character with the same unrealistic 

physical dimensions in which industries 

have created? 

In order to attain this unattainable image 

of beauty, countless numbers of women mutilate 

themselves. They mutilate themselves 

with the aid of surgery or simply over-exhausting 

their bodies using exercise regimens, 

laxatives, and diet pills. 

It is acceptable to work out in order to 

remain healthy, or even to undergo a surgery 

such as liposuction if it is completely necessary 

to ensure that you will be able to live a 

complete and healthy life. However, it is extremely 

hard to fathom why someone would 

undergo a potentially life threatening surgery 

in order to make their lips more plump, their 

breasts bigger, their buttocks more slender 

and their abdomen more flat, nor why they 

would exercise to the point where they consist 

of absolutely no body fat to ensure that 

they will not have stretch marks or cellulite, 

or simply because having meat on their bones 

may somehow be perceived as unattractive. 

According to the South Carolina Department 

of Mental Health, an estimated 

eight million people within the US suffer 

from an eating disorder: seven million 

women and one million men. They state that 

one in 200 American women suffers from 

anorexia, while two to three in 100 women 

suffer from bulimia. It is important to note 

that eating disorders stem from the existence 

of a mental illness, which one in five Americans 

suffers from. Additionally, mental disorders 

which address one’s self-image may 

have everything to do with obtaining a 

healthy self-esteem. 

Therefore, in order to prevent the dangerous 

connotations of accepting an unrealistic 

image of beauty, we must first realize 

that it is unrealistic. Secondly, we must acknowledge 

that in trying to obtain an image 

that is unobtainable, we will become self-destructive 

in multiple ways. Instead, it is more 

important to notice the things that make us 

beautiful as individuals and dwell on those 

things rather than comparing our existential 

qualities to those of another. The true definition 

of beauty lies with recognizing who we 

are as individuals and focusing on the positive 

aspects of ourselves, in addition to being 

not only comfortable, but happy with the 

image that we present to others when we step 

into a room full of people. 

PA’s PFA: How safe does it keep you? 

VANESSA CHATELAIN 

Staff Writer 

When I learned that someone whom my family and I 

had let into our house had attempted to burn our house down, 

I was scared and frustrated. The police had already been on 

the scene and came to the conclusion that they couldn’t press 

charges for the fire, but did recommend that my family take 

action in order to protect ourselves. It wasn’t until I spoke to 

a police officer in my county that I learned that Pennsylvania 

didn’t have restraining orders. Instead, they offered victims 

Protection from Abuse Orders. 

In the state of Pennsylvania, a Protection from Abuse 

(PFA) is an order that is issued by a District Justice or Court 

of Common Pleas judge. The order protects victims from 

being harmed by family or household members, sexual or 

intimate partners, or person that shares a child with the victim. 

According to WomansLaw.org, the PFA constitutes 

abuse as attempting to cause or causing with or without a 

deadly weapon: 

“Bodily injury, rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, 

sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, 

and incest. 

Placing another in reasonable fear of immediate serious 

bodily injury 

False imprisonment 

Physical or sexual abuse of child 

Engaging in course of conduct repeatedly committing acts 

towards another person, including following the person, 

under circumstances which place the person in reasonable 

fear of bodily injury. In other words, stalking or harassment 

that makes you afraid of bodily injury.” 

In order to petition for a PFA, the person you are filing 

it against must be or has been in a relationship with you or 

is a family member. What about the people who don’t have 

any relation to the victim? Although, it may seem like something 

from a Lifetime movie, sometimes a person who is harassing 

or stalking someone is an unknown stranger. How 

are victims of unknown strangers protected? 

Another aspect that can be disheartening is the amount 

of paperwork that the victim must fill out in order to request 

a permanent PFA. However, Cedar Crest Campus Police 

Chief Mark Vitalos offers a remedy, Temporary Protection 

Orders, which might assist victims who are in need of an 

order immediately. 

“Normally that doesn’t go through the normal courthouse 

procedure where you go to the PFA office in the courthouse. 

Many times if it’s after-hours and you need an 

emergency order rather quickly you would go to the duty 

Magistrate, at least in Lehigh County, and you could ask the 

duty Magistrate for a temporary order.” 

When comparing a Pennsylvania PFA to a restraining 

order in New Jersey, it appears that both are defined the same 

except New Jersey does not have such a in depth definition 

for what constitutes as abuse. 

When it comes to campus colleges there are different 

measures that officers take in order to ensure that students 

feel safe. In Cedar Crest College’s guidelines, there are 

measures that are taken against harassment and violence or 

abuse especially if a student, faculty, or staff member has a 

protection order. Once the Campus Police Department has 

verified the order through the police department and the 

county then officers are notified about the individual. 

“If this person that the order is against is here on our 

campus and he or she is not supposed to be, we would stop 

that individual and detain them. We would then notify the 

local authorities like the Allentown police department, we 

would call them in for assistance and generally if there’s a 

valid order against the person they would probably be taken 

into custody. Most likely be removed from our campus and 

then [for] further measure that person would be given a trespass 

order from us telling them not to come back to campus,” 

he says. 

“We encourage all faculty, staff, and student 

who may be involved in a protection from 

abuse order to inform us immediately of this 

order whether it’s a temporary order or permanent 

order.” 

-Mark Vitalos, Cedar Crest Campus Police 

Chief 

Even if the student, faculty, or staff member does not 

have an order against an individual but feels that they are 

being threatened or in danger, then they are still encouraged 

to seek the help of Cedar Crest Campus Police. 

Vitalos makes it clear that the campus community has 

the right to be safe. “We encourage all faculty, staff, and student 

who may be involved in a protection from abuse order 

to inform us immediately of this order whether it’s a temporary 

order or permanent order,” he states. 

Although they are certain aspects that can be a hassle 

for those who are truly in need for protection they are resources 

that are available. Whether it is on campus or at 

home, if you or a person you know feels that their rights have 

been violated by another individual then they are measures 

they can take to protect themselves and their loved ones. 

Get the facts! 

Delaware County PA states in order to file a PFA 

the victim must: 

Complete a petition for a temporary PFA at Domestic 

Abuse Project or Office of Judicial Support. 

File the petition. 

Proceed to the Office of the Court Administrator 

so the petition can be taken before a judge. 

Take copies of the PFA Order (temporary and permanent) 

to your local Police or Sheriff's Department 

for service. 

Attend a hearing for a permanent PFA. 

Chester County, PA states: 

“There are costs that must be eventually paid 

when you file a protection from abuse order with 

the court. You will not have to pay any fees at the 

time of filing. However, at the time of the hearing 

the court will order either the alleged assailant to 

pay the costs, you pay the costs, the costs to be 

split by both parties... At the time of the hearing 

the judge will assess what the costs are. If you are 

held responsible for the costs, you must pay the 

Prothonotary with the order of costs form.”

Myth: Sun Beds are 

Safe—study links 

skin cancer to 

tanning beds 

If you are thinking of travelling 

somewhere tropical for 

spring break, you are probably 

also noticing how ghostlike your 

skin has gotten over the winter 

months. When considering 

whether or not to purchase a tanning 

package for an indoor artificial 

tan from UV exposure in a 

tanning bed, you may want to 

think twice. 

Since 2009, the International 

Agency for Research on Cancer, 

a part of the WHO, has classified 

tanning beds as cancer-causing. 

Research shows people who start 

going to tanning salons before 

age 35 have a 75-percent increase 

in their chances of developing 

melanoma, the deadliest type of 

skin cancer. According to the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, more than one million 

skin cancers are diagnosed 

every year in the U.S. and most of 

them are sun-related. About one 

in 50 white people get melanoma 

at some point in their life, and the 

number has been climbing for the 

past three decades. Each year, 

about 8,700 Americans die from 

the disease. 

The American Academy of 

Pediatrics joins the World Health 

Organization (WHO), the American 

Academy of Dermatology 

and other health professionals 

that are pushing for a law that 

prohibits the use of tanning beds 

by minors. 

If you are concerned about 

missing out on the benefits of 

sun-tanning, don’t be. There are 

many sources of Vitamin D including 

fish oil in your diet and 

vitamin supplements. Although 

you may think that artificial tanning 

makes you feel better, there 

is no significant increase in endorphin 

levels. Also, I’m not sure 

about you, but I am in no rush to 

get wrinkles. 

Instead of artificial tan, consider 

getting that healthy glow 

other ways. Eating a well balanced 

diet has been known to decrease 

acne and give you a 

healthy look. Among its internal 

and external health benefits, coconut 

milk is also a popular ingredient 

in skin moisturizer and 

gives you a natural glow. 

YouTube videos increasing self-injury? 

SARAJANE SEIN 

Opinions Editor 

According to The Hopeline, a charity 

devoted to helping people who are depressed 

and/or suicidal, two to three million 

Americans take part in some kind of 

self-injurious behavior. These actions may 

take the form of a person cutting, burning, 

or otherwise harming themselves. 

Teenagers and young adults are most likely 

to self-injure, and a disturbing trend may 

now take these numbers to new levels. 

On YouTube, where users can host 

and comment on videos involving a multitude 

of topics, is a large number of videos 

by, and perhaps for, self-injurers has 

sprung up. According to the New York 

Times, these videos are often explicit, and 

users are rarely warned about the content 

they are about to encounter. 

A study by the journal Pediatrics, as 

mentioned in the Times article, studied this 

phenomenon and discovered that the 

videos of self-injury are extremely popular 

on YouTube. While YouTube has a pol- 

Linkedin: professional

AMY PALMISANO 

Assistant Lifestyles Editor 

Consider Facebook—a social network between you and 

anyone else you have become acquaintances with in your life. 

Businesses use it as a valuable marketing tool. Employers use 

it to find potential employees, but we’ve all heard the warnings 

associated with Facebook and professionalism. 

One downfall of Facebook for the young professional is 

that your name can be attached to photos taken by other users. 

You may toggle your privacy settings, change your profile 

name, make yourself practically invisible, but that picture is 

still out there and the only thing you can do to protect your resume 

is to be a professional at all times and to be aware to 

what you are doing at all times. If no pictures are taken, no 

one can find an unflattering picture, right? 

You may save some face in the professional world by 

using a social networking site that does not utilize the “tag” 

feature. Linkedin.com has been known to be the Facebook of 

the workplace. You upload your resume and create a profile 

that pertains to what you would want a potential employer to 

read. You can still upload a personal photo, but you should 

probably post one of yourself in interview attire instead of that 

Halloween costume party picture on Facebook. 

There are many benefits to social networking. When you 

put up a status, your friends can comment seconds after it’s 

posted. Now, consider posting a status on Linkedin that lets 

the word out that you’re looking for an internship. Employers 

and friends can direct you towards the right path in only seconds. 

Another benefit of Linkedin is the function of recommendations. 

Any previous employers and co-workers can post 

their praise right on your homepage. The career possibilities 

are endless. 

icy that bans videos showing “dangerous 

behavior,” it is difficult to know where 

they fall on the question of videos of selfinjury; 

while it is possible to suffer health 

consequences as a result of hurting oneself, 

the behavior is not directly a suicide attempt, 

making it more difficult to categorize. 

These visual depictions of self-injury 

may compel those who want to or already 

do engage in this behavior to feel that it is 

acceptable or even something to be encouraged. 

Also, these videos, considering a 

lack of consistent content warnings, videos 

could act as potential “triggers” to individuals 

who are trying to stop self-injuring 

themselves, and make them feel like they 

want to engage in the behavior again. 

Those with triggers could also stumble 

upon the videos somewhat unintentionally, 

a search for “cutting” brings up at least one

the YouTube search results.

JADE ABSTON 

Staff Writer 

According to a report done by Netpop 

Research, women and young people 

are the most active users of social 

media today. 

Not only are women and young 

people the most active users, but 

women in their 30s use social networking 

sites heavily. Netpop Research is a 

firm based in the San Francisco area 

and specializes in understanding the use 

of internet based services. 

The report that 

Netpop compiled information 

from was 

based on the results 

of an online survey 

conducted in Jan. 

2011. The survey 

was taken by 1,253 

American broadband 

users from the age 13 

and up. 

This research is a part of a series 

that examines social media, privacy, 

and social marketing. Netpopresearch.com 

explains that “Social media 

is on the rise in the U.S. as Americans 

engage in a larger variety of online social 

activities. One in four broadband 

users now engage in at least four social 

media activities on a regular basis. 

Micro-blogging, in particular, rose an 

astounding 400 percent in the last two 

years.” 

The survey found that 73 percent 

of internet users are using some form of 

online content pertaining to social 

media. Cate Riegner, who is the vice 

president of Brand Insights and cofounder 

of Netpop Research stated “It's 

becoming a form of seamless integra- 

this study, were women,” Dr. Jennifer 

Hartstein explained on the Early Show, as 

quoted in a CBS/AP article. 

However, YouTube cannot realistically 

be in charge of censoring the content 

that every individual posts on the website. 

It could also be said that there is a thin line 

between videos that may be educating onlookers 

about the habit of self-injuring and 

those that are actively promoting it. Still, 

those that are promoting the behavior, in a 

way similar to the “pro-ana” and “promia” 

websites which encourage eating disorders, 

could convince those who already 

self-injure to continue in their actions as 

opposed to getting help or talking to someone. 

Are YouTube videos showcasing selfinjury 

free expression for people suffering 

from a compulsion, or a tool pushing teens 

and young people to engage in destructive 

behavior? It may be both, and studies following 

up on the Pediatrics study could 

offer more explanations for why people 

self-injure and what can be done to help 

them. 

Study finds women and young people

tion with users' lives, it's always with 

them.” 

According to the survey the most 

active social media users are people between 

the ages of 18 and 24 years old, 

which made up 82 percent and women 

who made of 78 percent versus men 

who only made up 66 percent of users. 

Also the research showed that women 

in their 30s were the heaviest users of 

social networking sites. The group that 

contributes the least to these sites are 

older and males. 

Marcus Messner a social media, 

multimedia journalism 

and global communications 

professor at Virginia 

Commonwealth 

University told USA 

Today “Many of these 

(Middle East) protests 

would have been much 

more difficult to organize 

without social 

media. If you're not engaging 

in social media today, you're 

not a communicator. Every individual 

today has an online brand.” 

Some popular social networking 

sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and 

Tumblr have been great community organizing 

tools. Messner mentioned how 

Twitter helped in the emergency landing 

of the Flight 1549 in the Hudson, 

Iranian election, and even recently the 

conflict in Egypt. 

Riegner also stated to 

usatoday.com “We're going to continue 

to see new innovations such as locationbased 

services, the older generation will 

have to adapt or be caught off guard.” 

Netpop Research will continue to 

research and release many reports on 

social media and networking and how 

the internet shapes our lives this spring.

Size of social network linked to stress on Facebook 


Staff Writer 

A recent study conducted by psychologists 

at Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland 

found that the users with the most contacts on 

the popular social networking site Facebook 

tend to experience significant amounts of Facebook-related 

anxiety. 

The study was comprised of 175 students, 

who responded to an online survey, which was 

followed by informal focus groups and semistructured 

interviews with select participants. Dr. 

Kathy Charles, a lecturer in the psychology department 

at the Scottish university, led the study, 

and shared her findings in a press release that 

can be found on the university’s website. 

The data from the study suggests that Facebook 

users that have more contacts and have invested 

more time on the site are more likely to 

be anxious about using the site. While a large 

majority of respondents reported that “keeping 

in touch” was the greatest benefit of Facebook

Veggie Chik'n Alfredo 

Ingredients: 

1 cup fresh organic broccoli, chopped 

1 cup fresh organic carrots, chopped 

1 bag of MorningStar Meal Starters Veggie Chik'n Strips 

1/2 Jar of Classico (or other brand) Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce 

4 cups of whole wheat pasta or tomato/spinach noodles (these are 

vegan options, but any noodles will work just fine) 

Directions: 

First, lightly oil a pan on medium and put all the Chik'n strips in. 

These take the longest to cook, so starting them first is important. 

Next, take the broccoli and carrots and place them in boiling 

water, covered. Then you may get another pot to boil the noodles in. 

The broccoli, carrots, and noodles are all done once they become soft. 

Once they are, the water may be drained from both and the broccoli, 

carrots, and noodles can be mixed together. The sauce may be 

placed in a pot and heated, or heated in the microwave. 

The chik'n strips are done once they are crispy and are mediumbrown 

in color. Once everything is finished cooking, you may lay out 

the broccoli, carrots, and noodles onto each plate, pour the sauce over 

it, and top with the chik'n strips and your favorite seasonings.

use, for a considerable amount of users this benefit 

is overshadowed by anxiety regarding the 

site’s functions. 

According to the study, these anxieties include 

feelings of guilt and discomfort resulting 

from rejecting friend requests, tensions over 

eliminating unwanted contacts from a user’s network, 

pressure to be interesting to other users, 

and the use of appropriate etiquette on the site 

in regard to the different types of connections a 

user has in his or her network. 

Users also reported worrying about withdrawing 

from the site because it may offend their 

contacts or for fear that they would miss out on 

important information. Dr. Charles reported that 

“the other responses [researchers] got in focus 

groups and one-to-one interviews suggests that 

the survey figures actually under represent aspects 

of stress and anxiety felt by some Facebook

Fried and brittle split ends no 

more! Organix Moroccan Argan 

Oil Shampoo and Conditioner is 

the must have product if you use 

heat tools everyday and are looking 

for a safer, healthier more eco-conscious 

way to get your locks back 

on track. 

With the use of curling irons, 

straighteners, blow dryers and any 

other hot tools, your hair becomes 

over-dried leaving your hair cuticles 

severely damaged and dying of 

thirst. Yes, moisturizing shampoo 

and conditioning treatment may 

help temporarily, but what your 

hair really needs is a treatment that 

is going to give you long lasting 

benefits. 

Argan oil is produced from the 

kernels of the Argan tree, which 

can be found in Morocco. This oil 

has been valued for centuries for its 

nutritive, cosmetic and numerous 

medicinal properties. Moroccan 

Argan oil penetrates into the hair 

pores and enhances the elasticity of 

hair. It also proves to be very nourishing 

for the growth of hair by the 

antioxidants present in Argan oil. 

The oil strengthens the hair by repairing 

the damaged cellular membrane 

of hair and locks the 

moisture in and adds to and restores 

the luster and shine of hair. 

Organix’s has bottled this precious 

oil into their Renewing Moroccan 

Argan Oil Collection that is 

certified organic, sulfate and 

paraben free and is guaranteed 

to work with any hair type. 

The application of this 

process is fairly simple, 

the ideal size of the 

product you need for a 

good wash is about the 

size of a quarter dollar. 

A surprising quality 

is that because this 

product contains a decent 

amount of oil, you 

get less of a soapy

did not report Facebook-related anxiety had an

Facebook friend requests, and 63 percent said 

that they delayed replying to them. 

Dr. Charles indicated that the results of the

tend to be more nourishing. Once 

the shampoo is worked into hair, 

rinse well. The conditioner has a 

similar application, and due to its

Study links global 

warming with 

excessive rain 

For many years, scientists 

have been using physics and climate 

knowledge to warn of man 

made global warming causing extremes 

in temperatures and rainfall. 

Two new studies published 

in the journal Nature do exactly 

that, becoming the first time that 

researchers have been able to 

demonstrate a cause and effect 

between the harmful impact we 

have on the Earth and what type 

of destruction can result from it. 

The research directly links the rising 

greenhouse-gas levels with 

the increase and intensity of rain 

and snow in the Northern Hemisphere, 

and specifically the increased 

risk of flooding in the 

United Kingdom. 

According to NPR Myles 

Allen of Oxford University, one 

of the scientists involved in the 

study, acknowledges that it’s difficult 

to feel the effects of a 

“slowly warming planet.” He said 

in a press briefing that, “One of 

the problems I think many people 

find with climate change is it’s a 

victimless crime, n the sense that 

the impacts are largely hypothetical 

for many people.” 

Along with his colleagues 

Allen took information that 

showed an increase in extreme 

rain and snow events from the 

1950s through the 1990s and ran 

computer models numerous times 

across the world that compared 

worlds with global warming and 

without global warming. 

When they were analyzing 

their data the researchers found 

that extreme rainfall was more 

likely to appear in the computer 

simulations that were of our current 

climate rather than in the 

computer simulations that were of 

a world without global warming. 

Nature.com reports that 

Allen also specifically studied the 

damaging floods that occurred in 

England and Wales in 2000. He 

found that anthropogenic, or manmade, 

climate change may have 

almost doubled the risk of the extremely 

wet weather that caused 

the floods The website details that 

the findings of the study mean 

that the countries in the Northern 

Hemisphere need to prepare for 

these events. 

Although not part of the 

study, Andrew Weaver of the University 

of Victoria told NPR, “We 

should continue to expect increased 

flooding associated with 

increased extreme precipitation 

because of increasing atmospheric 

greenhouse gas. And we 

have no one to blame but ourselves.”

The modern idea of circus was redefined 

this past weekend when Cirque Éloize brought 

its kaleidoscopic new production, iD, to the 

Zoellner Arts Center of Lehigh University. 

The production's design and sound immediately 

place it in the middle of a city; as 

audience members walk in to take their 

seats before the show, the usual bustle of the 

theater is punctuated by the sound of car 

horns, sirens, and other city noises. The set 

recalls cityscapes and city spaces, and it 

becomes a backdrop for video and moving 

images. The moment the show begins, 

every spectator is riveted. Performers 

walk back and forth across the stage like 

a city sidewalk, passing, conversing, acting, 

and soon an acrobatic performance 

begins the action. 

The action never ends. With 

feat after feat of strength, flexibility, 

creativity, and energy, 

one act succeeds another. A 

woman ascends a piece of 

white silk into the rafters, 

climbing and descending, 

wrapping and twisting in 

a beautiful demonstration 

of the art of aerial 

silk. A contortionist 

twists herself in and out of a hoop that swings 

above the stage. An acrobat stacks chairs one 

on top of the other, climbing as he builds until 

he is high above the stage, looking straight 

into the lights far above the audience. A platform 

of the set becomes a trampoline and 

performers bounce from 

it to the walls and ledges 

above, continually rising 

and falling extraordinary 

heights in 

seeming defiance of gravity. 

Each act of iD is framed within the 

context of the city. Appropriately, the 

twelve classic circus disciplines 

demonstrated in the show are integrated 

with hip-hop, break dance, and other skills 

with a distinctly urban twist: a performer on a 

bicycle jumps platforms and hurtles over people, 

and an in-line skater weaves in and out of 

obstacles, dancing on his skates and circling 

the stage. Even the juggling act, a staple for 

any circus, is staged in the context of the city: 

company members dressed as construction 

workers walk on and offstage, carrying sheets 

of glass against which the jugglers bounce 

endless circles of tennis balls. 

Since its founding in 1993, and 

through the subsequent 4,000 shows which 

the company has given, Cirque Éloize has 

focused on creating shows that, like iD, 

excel at crossing boundaries 

between disciplines. 

The entire show 

has an air of discovery, 

of novelty and of genuine 

excitement. The action on 

stage is supported by a musical 

score as loud and colorful 

as the video projected on 

the walls of the set. The pairing 

of video and music are reminiscent 

of the ever-changing commentary 

of graffiti on a city's walls. They heighten the 

production's sense of fantasy, but also highlight 

real emotion and vivid individuality. 

iD is not about a single, unified story. It 

is instead the story of each of the countless 

characters played by the performers during 

the course of the evening. It is relevant that 

the name of the show references the idea of 

identity, because through the sequence of stories, 

the performers create a series of identities 

for themselves, as individuals, as 

pairs and groups, and as a 

company. In iD, Cirque Éloize 

recreates the identity of the 

traditional art of the circus, 

and the personality and energy 

of all of the performers make 

the show larger than life beneath 

the stage lights. 

The Cast of Vagina Monologues celebrates a�er the final performance.

Lay down the red carpet, it’s Oscar time! Another year of 

hard work in the film industry has come to an end, and now 

it’s time to celebrate this year’s achievements. This past Sunday, 

Feb. 27 was the 83rd Annual Academy Awards show 

aired on ABC at 8 p.m., hosted by Anne Hathaway and James 

Franco. Without a doubt this was definitely a night to remember, 

filled with unforgettable moments and amazing performances 

by A.R. Rahman with Florence + The Machine, 

Gweneth Paltrow, Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, and Randy 

Newman. Aside from the performances, countless awards 

were given out to the top films and 

actors of the year. Along with the 

awards came lots of high fashion, 

with some choices being absolute 

jaw droppers, others were utter 

disasters. 

The award of Best Picture 

went to The King’s 

Speech. Best actor in a leading 

role went to Colin Firth 

for his performance in The 

King’s Speech. Award for 

best actress in a leading role 

went to Natalie Portman for her 

performance in Black Swan as a 

prima ballerina. In the animated 

film category Toy Story 3 was 

awarded the best animated fea-

On the way down and staying there

A black screen descended from 

the ceiling and anticipation rose as the 

audience waited for the Ryan Cabrera 

to perform. The lights were dim as the 

audience waited for the main event to 

emerge and when he finally did, the performance 

was far less than what we expected. 

The opening bands that played before 

Cabrera ranged from a bleach 

blonde rocker named Alex York. York 

was eclectic style to say the least, he 

paraded around in red skinny jeans 

and a vest. His music was interesting 

to say the least; his cover of 

Womanizer by Britney 

Spears was the best thing 

from his set list that 

was performed. 

He encouraged all 

of his minions to 

come to his merch 

table after his performance 

so he 

could meet everyone. 

Hiccup Hellen another 

band that performed set the 

bar high for other bands that 

followed them. Their music 

was catchy and the audience 

soaked up the enthusiasm that 

was emitting from them. During 

one of their songs the entire audience 

was screaming and dancing to the 

lyrics, they were one of the best bands 

that played before Cabrera. 

Then the time arrived for Ryan to 

perform and when the screen rose and 

he entered the stage there was a moment 

of awkward exchange between Cabrera 

and his manager. He said hello to the 

audience the he kept talking to his manager 

trying to get something worked out 

with his music. It was uncomfortable to 

watch and started his set of in a very 

awkward way. 

In between songs he took shots 

and talked to the audience about the upcoming 

concerts he has. His voice 

sounded worn and as if it was affected 

by his consistent alcohol consumption 

throughout his set. He sang is signature 

hits On the way down, and True and 

they were the highlight of his entire 

show. 

At one point Cabrera forgot the 

lyrics to one of his songs and also his 

own age when told the crowd that 

he recently turned 23. Cabrera 

was actually born on July 18, 

1982 thus making him 28, not 

23. 

The concert wasn’t 

completely 

horrible, at 

one point 

Cabrera played 

a cover of Billie Jean by 

Michael Jackson and 

didn’t completely ruin it. 

He did it justice by just 

playing it and not attempting 

to sing it as 

well. 

All in all the show 

was great until Ryan 

Cabrera grace the stage. 

All of the bands that performed 

before him had a 

sincerity about them that Cabrera 

lacked. You could tell that they really 

loved music and were so appreciative 

of the fact that people pay to see them. 

Cabrera on the other hand acted as if he 

were God’s gift to music and in reality 

his 15 minutes of fame should have 

ended in 2004. His career has been on 

the way down for seven years and I’m 

not sad to admit that it won’t be going 

up anytime soon.

Hathaway and Franco made quite a comedic couple being two of the 

youngest actors ever to host the Academy Awards. 

The award for best costume design went to Colleen Atwood 

for her costume designs for Alice in Wonderland. Best director 

went to Tom Hooper for his incredible direction in The 

King’s Speech. The Social Network grabbed the award for best 

music (original score). The animated film Toy Story 3 won 

best music (original song). Yet again, Inception won, this time 

for best visual effects. Awarded for best original screenplay 

was The King’s Speech, written by David Seidler. There were 

other awards received that night, these are just some of the 

highlights of awards given to the more popular films of 2010, 

definitely a year filled with many diverse and interesting 

films. 

Aside from the awards and special performances, there’s 

the fashion. With an event like the Academy Awards celebrities 

stop at nothing when it comes to looking good, although 

some fashion choices were complete disasters. The trends for 

actresses at this year’s Academy Awards were shades of red, 

sequins and nude sparkles; column gowns in a variety of colors, 

silver dresses, purple gowns, emerald earrings, soft wavy 

tousled bobs as well as pin straight hair styles. Many male actors 

sported trendy bow ties or skinny ties with black single 

or double button tuxedos. Most of the men kept it classy and

It’s a little less hip-hop and a lot more folk infused blues 

as G. Love revisits his roots with his 15th studio album, Fixin’ 

To Die. 

The back to basics sound may be in part due to the 

Philadelphia native’s collaboration with Seth and Scott Avett 

of The Avett Brother who not only contributed musically but 

also produced the new album. 

While it’s apparent from the floor-stomping, hand-clapping 

opening title track “Fixin’ To Die” that the album has a 

southern twang to it, G. Love still maintains his signature hiphop 

style on the single “Just Fine.” The brokenhearted slow 

tempo song starts off, “I got bills to pay overdue since may/ but 

payin’ bills ain’t somethin’ imma do today/ I’d rather write a 

rhyme about the life I threw away/ Are you the reason that my 

sky went from blue to grey?” and continues into a catchy chorus. 

While “Milk and Sugar” isn’t the most exciting song, it 

certainly sticks to G. Love’s habit of writing about beverages 

(think “Soda Pop” or “Cold Beverage”). Other than these two 

songs, Fixin’ To Die delves deep into the genres of folk, country 

and blues with such precision it’s hard to believe that the 

singer songwriter is most known for his eclectic and rhythmic 

hip-hop style.

Fixin’ To Die: Philadelphonic 

flair meets southern hospitality 

Although it seems somewhat random among an album 

where banjos and harmonicas are ever present, G. Love even 

pulls off a quirky cover of Paul Simon’s “50 ways to leave 

your lover.” 

Originally on his album Gone Country, “Get Goin’” 

makes an appearance on Fixin’ To Die but it’s been updated 

with an energetic electric approach. Other standouts include 

the melodic laid back “Home” and the country crooning 

“Heaven.” 

Clocking in at nearly 6 minutes, “Pale Blue Eyes” is G. 

Love’s longest track on Fixin’ To Die. The harmonious and 

intelligently written track would be the perfect ending to a 

beautifully cohesive album, however Fixin’ To Die continues 

with “500 Mile Girl” a raw bluesy track which showcases G. 

Love’s ability to fuse his funky hip-hop background with his 

newfound niche for folk and country.

Andy Jurinko, one of America's greatest 

baseball artists, died of pancreatic cancer at the 

age of 71 on Thursday, Feb. 14. 

Jurinko was born in the summer of 1939 in 

Phillipsburg, New Jersey. He began drawing at 

the age of three, and focused his earliest artistic 

efforts on drawings of scenes related to World 

War II, which began just after his birth. As he 

grew up, he began to work on drawings and 

paintings of the stars of Hollywood and of the 

stars the world of sports. In high school, he became 

a baseball player on his high school's team 

and fell in love with the sport. 

Jurinko attended the Philadelphia College 

of Art and Kutztown State College (now Kutztown 

University). While living in Philadelphia, 

he began to work as an illustrator. He continued 

to produce paintings that depicted the many 

facets of everyday popular culture: everything 

from female nudes to city passersby to family 

scenes and individual portraits. He moved from 

Philadelphia to San Francisco to New York, 

painting all the way. It wasn't until the 1980s, 

after he had moved to New York, that art and 

baseball really came together for Jurinko. He 

began to travel to stadiums around the country 

and study photographs in the Hall of Fame,

In the 1990s he embarked on the project 

that would make him famous: a ten-year painting 

project that would document the history of 

Major League Baseball from 1946-1960. Working 

in the full and vivid color of his realistic 

style of oil painting, Jurinko created 600 paintings 

of great baseball stars and their most memorable 

games. He painted over 400 portraits of 

baseball players and over 150 action scenes of 

moments from some of the greatest games in 

baseball's history. All of these depicted baseball 

in its “Golden Age.” The paintings were compiled 

into two books, Heart of the Game, published 

in 2004, and Soul of the Game, published 

in 2006. A third book which will be released this 

year, titled Golden Boys, features National 

League stars, also from the 1940s-60s. Today, 

the Baseball Hall of Fame, where Jurinko went 

for inspiration for his work, now features lithographs 

of some of Jurinko's own paintings of the 

greatest faces and moments of baseball history. 

Another project of Jurinko's, very different 

from his paintings of the Golden Age of the 

sport, was the group of images he created to memorialize 

well-loved but now defunct ballparks. 

He recognized the importance of the space 

where the game is played, and fans loved the 

paintings because they commemorated the 

strong connection between the game and the his- 

COACH RESIGNS AFTER 

locker room. 

Unfortunately for Kravchuk, 

as reported in a police report, he 

was grabbed and elbowed in the 

face by O’Connor, which resulted 

in a bloody nose and bruised lip. 

According to reports, O’Connor 

claims that he was showing a 

“combat rebounding drill” when he 

pushed Kravchuk. 

O’Connor had a private meeting 

with Kravchuk apologizing for 

the mistake. 

This just wasn’t going to do it 

for this young man. He took the 

matter into his own hands and reported 

the incident to the athletic 

director, Sandra Michael, who reassured 

the player that matters 

would be dealt with. Kravchuk returned 

to practice and realized that 

no apparent action was being enforced 

so he inquired with Michael, 

however she refused to relay any 

information on if consequences 

were being implemented. 

Kravchuk wanted some type 

of action taken and the university 

couldn’t even deliver at least that. 

So Kravchuk decided that if the 

school was going to overlook this 

matter that he was going to take it 

to the police. 

Prior to O’Connor’s announcement 

of his resignation, he 

appeared on Good Morning America, 

sitting face to face with 

Kravchuk and his lawyer, to discuss 

the situation at hand in which 

O’Connor appeared to be apologetic. 

"Matt, this was an accident," 

O'Connor said. "I was just trying to 

make us a better team that's more 

competitive and in doing so an accident 

happened. It was uninten- 

torical places where it has been played. 

New York City itself was another great 

source of inspiration for Jurinko, and the city 

was the site of many of Jurinko's exhibitions and 

shows. A number of New York publications also 

featured his work. Jurinko and his wife lived in 

close proximity to the World Trade Center since 

1977, and after the Sept. 11 attacks, they were 

displaced from their apartment. Their apartment 

was damaged by pieces of the airplanes that hit 

the Center, and had it not been for the protection 

of the metal filing cabinet where Jurinko stored 

the photographic slides of his artwork, his books 

would never have been able to be published. 

Though Jurinko leaves behind him an impressive 

body of artwork on many subjects, he 

will be always remembered as one of the greatest 

baseball artists known by the sport. The vivid 

colors of his paintings, from the green of the 

outfield to the red of the Phillies, Jurinko's favorite 

team, will serve to memorialize his intense 

love for the game. Perhaps in the years to 

come, baseball fans will continue to fall in love 

with Jurinko's work just as they have fallen in 

love with the game, their love of baseball deepened 

by an appreciation of the work of one of 

baseball's greatest lifelong fans. 

ALTERCATION WITH PLAYER 

tional by me, and I'm really sorry 

that it happened. If I could take it 

back I certainly would." 

Kravchuk believed his coach’s 

apology but with some apprehension. 

"To be honest, it's kind of hard 

to accept your apology because you 

claim it's justified and you claim 

you weren't crossing the line," he 

said. "And also, I came to Holy 

Family to play basketball and now 

I'm injured, I can't play, and I can't 

play for you anymore just because, 

as your player, I'm supposed to be 

able to respect you and I don't feel 

that I can do that anymore." 

A sad conclusion has come of 

this as a coach is without a job and 

a player is unable to play. At least a 

conclusion ahs come of it all.

Pistons laugh at Kuester’s ejection 

The Detroit Pistons have a mutiny 

on their hands. About half the 

team decided not to show up for 

the shoot-around in protest of the 

head coach. Kuester’s emotions 

boiled over late in the second 

quarter against the 76ers. He received 

two technical fouls for 

complaining loudly and saying 

words not suitable for television. 

One of the shoot-around offenders, 

Tracy McGrady, thought the 

spectacle was quite hilarious. 

Old Alliance Gone Sour? 

Just days after the Denver 

Nuggets finally dealt superstar, 

Carmelo Anthony the New York 

Knicks, Nuggets head coach, 

George Karl, made some unflattering 

comments about his former 

four-time All-Star player. During 

the TNT telecast of the Nuggets 

vversus Celtics game, Karl in 

short basically said Anthony cannot 

play defense. The following 

day, Anthony sent out back to 

back tweets that may have been in 

response to his former coach. 

Kemp criticizes Griffin dunk 

Shawn Kemp was one of the 

hardest dunkers in the NBA prior 

to him going on a see-food diet 

and ate himself out of the league 

itself. Besides his behavior being 

an issue, his weight became a 

rather big issue. Well, the legend 

[Kemp] was not so impressed 

with Blake Griffin’s winning 

dunk at the slam dunk contest. 

Kemp classified the rookie’s dunk 

weak and feels he could do better 

at the age 41. He believes he can 

jump over not one, but two smart 

cars. 

Blatche challenges a man to a 

fight via Twitter? 

Yes it has been confirmed, Andray 

Blatche, only days after having 

his name misspelled on his 

jersey, has challenged a person 

via Twitter. The young player was 

receiving some hate from another 

individual and it really got him 

hot under the collar. So, he retaliated 

without thinking. Blatche 

tweeted, “ok let’s do this so 

everyone can see wat u bout let’s 

meet n dc Saturday after my 

game,” and when he didn’t receive 

a response, he tweeted, 

“…like I said I’m done with this 

fake internet thing if u wanna see 

meet me Saturday after game I 

can throw these things homie.” 

These tweets were deleted in 

order to protect his stupidity.

FALCON ATHLETES

Lizzy Sunderhaus, junior Genetic 

Engineering major, center 

and captain of the basketball team 

now has something else to add to 

her resume. Sunderhaus is now the 

only Cedar Crest basketball player 

to ever an all conference award 

three times. 

CSAC (Colonial States Athletics 

Conference) head coaches 

vote on the All-Conference selections 

towards the end of each season 

and Sunderhaus was 

previously chosen as Women’s 

Basketball Rookie of the Year as 

well as First Team All-Conference 

player in 2009. 

Leading in rebounds with 

15.6 a game and scoring with 19.7 

points per game kept Sunderhaus 

on the top of her game all season. 

Sunderhaus is also ranked third in 

the nation for rebounds and 20 in 

scoring. In addition Sunderhaus is 

tied for second within the conference 

for blocks with 1.9 per game. 

As only a junior, Sunderhaus 

scored her 1000th point in a game 

against Gwynedd-Mercy College 

on Jan. 22, 2011 and also made her 

career-high 12 free throws from 

the foul line that night. Her careerhigh 

points were scored against 

Bryn Mawr as the team got a win 

as well. In another win, against 

Keystone, Sunderhaus gained her 

career-high rebounds, posting 25. 

“I feel greatful for the award. 

I feel like it gives a testament to the 

wonderful season I had this year,” 

said Sunderhaus. 

To add to Cedar Crest’s impressive 

statistics senior Kelley 

Cipriani was honored by CSAC by 

being named to the Sportsmanship 

Team. Cipriani, co-captain, appeared 

in all 24 games and clearly 

made a positive impact upon the 

conference head coaches in order 

to be named. 

This is a huge honor for both 

athletes. Congratulations Kelley 

and Lizzy.
