The classes that I had taken before the internship gave me con-
Vampire Diaries (TVD) has beenon the air since 2009. Since then,fans have followed Elena Gilbert(Nina Dobrev) Stefan and Da-
mon Salvatore (Pal Wesley andIan Somerhalder), and friends asthey dealt with affairs of the heartand went p against varios en-
emies. However, the Mystic Fallsgang has never battled a greaterenemy than the Originals, therst vampire family to walk theplanet. Since their introdctionin season two, they have wreakedhavoc pon Mystic Falls, and soformidable is their power, they now have their own show.
The Originals , as the new show will be called, follows the deadli-
est of the family, Klas (JosephMorgan recrring TVD geststar), as he tries to take back hiskingdom of New Orleans fromhis protégé, Marcel (Charles Mi-chael Davis), who has becomethe new “king” in Klas’s ab-
sence. Marcel has scceeded in si-lencing the witches, corralling the
werewolves, caging the hmans,and has trned the town into
vampire central. Klas, believing himself to be sperior to every -
one else since he is a vampire- werewolf hybrid and an Original,is frios and will stop at nothing to dethrone Marcel and take allthe glory for himself.
For those who have followed TVD since Klas’s debt, it isnever a good thing when Klasbegins scheming. Blood will in-
evitably be shed, lives will be lost,and tantrms thrown when hedoes not get his way. When ev -
erything goes down, it will be p
The Originals Take New Orleansto the rest of the Original fam-
ily, Elijah and Rebekah (recrring TVD gest stars Daniel Gilliesand Claire Holt), to make sreKlas does not case too mchdamage.
Those who are interested inThe Vampire Diaries will denitely
want to watch the spin-off, The
Originals . Even thogh Klas andthe Originals are technically theenemy, yo cannot help bt fall
prey to their charms and theirstory. Also, anything that comesfrom TVD writer Jlie Plec isbond to be spectaclar. Not ex-
cited yet? Well, fans can also look forward to possible Klas loveinterests. First, there is Haley (re-
crring TVD gest star Phoebe Tonkin), a werewolf and a famil-iar face from The Vampire Diaries ;
and Camille (Leah Pipes), a h-
man. The fact that Klas woldbe drawn to a hman in any way,besides as a snack, is interesting enogh. Nevertheless, crios tosee what happens between Klas
and these lovely ladies? Eager toncover chapters in the Originaltale yo never before encon-
tered?

Besides discovering new res-
tarants (eating is one of my specialties), I like to explore new neighborhoods and parts of Philadelphia I have never visited.Recently, I discovered Mt. Airy.
Mont Airy is a hop away
from Chestnt Hill Collegeand is the next neighborhoodbeyond Chestnt Hill. LikeChestnt Hill, Mt. Airy offersmany shopping and restarantexperiences along Germantown
Avene, with many options tochoose from.
I decided to try a restarantcalled Calypso located at 7122
Germantown Ave., specializing in Trinidadian cisine. Thisrestarant is relatively new to thearea. I am not familiar with foodfrom Trinidad so I decided totry something simple: the honey garlic calypso wings and cocontcrème spinach. Althogh not thehealthiest option I cold havechosen, it was really good. They
Hors: Open 7 days a week, Mon. thr Fri. at 4:30p.m., Sat. and Sn. at Noon.
Calypso
Ph. #: 215 - 703 - 7776
Location: 7122 German-town Ave., Mt. Airy
Experiencing Mt. Airy Through Restaurant Dinning have a vegetarian men as well.
The restarant was cozy, the
prices were reasonable, and this
is a great place to try something
different.
While riding the 23 bs
throgh Mt. Airy, I noticed a
restarant called Earth Bread +
Brewery, located at 7136 Ger-
mantown Ave. They offer a
brnch men on Satrday and
Snday. I decided to pick some-
thing off the brnch men, in-
clding one of their specialties,
at breads. I ordered savory
cheese grits and a small “White
+Black,” which is at bread
with roasted garlic sace, crispy
bacon, gs, argla, asiago and
parmesan cheese. Althogh the
pairing may have been random,
it was so good. The grits were
cooked jst right and the at-
bread was thin and all the in-
gredients blended together per-
fectly. I wold denitely go back
again. It is a casal environment
and the staff was knowledgeable
and pleasant.
One thing I am looking for-
ward to in Mt. Airy will be the
2013 Street Fare on Sept. 19
from 6 - 10:30 p.m. The otdoor
event will be located between
7000-7200 Germantown Ave.
There will be many stores and
restarants participating to in-
trodce people to the area. Go

GRISELLE RODRIGuEZ ’14ContriButing Writer
There are a few names, sch
as Miley Cyrs, that seem to
be synonymos with what we
consider “news” as of late. Theconstant reporting of celeb-
rity stories has taken over news
otlets over the years and it all
began with the now infamos
socialite Paris Hilton. When
the world was introdced to the
hotel heiress back in 2007, an
entirely new concept was born;
a concept that is known as “ce-
leb-reality.”
When gossip shows popped
p in the 1990s, networks were
able to draw in adiences that
had particlar interests in top-
ics not covered on primetimenewscasts. Styled as short
docmentaries, networks often
featred hman-interest pieces
inclding celebrity proles.
Celebrity news stories event-
ally became more demanded by
viewers, leading to the creation
of entertainment news shows
like Access Hollywood and En-
tertainment Tonight.
Ssan Magee, MFA, assis-
tant professor of commnica-
tions, asserts that news maga-
zine shows opened the gates for
celebrity jornalism and broad-
ened the denition of what is
considered news. “The news
division was never spposed to
make money,” she says. “How -
ever, news magazine shows, like
60 Minutes , which often featred
celebrities along with more seri-os news, became hgely pop-
lar, drew large adiences and
the ad revene started rolling
in. Then came cable television
with a 24/7 news cycle and new
programming niches to ll, and
or societal denition of news
was permanently changed.
Now with the Internet, that
denition of news keeps get-
ting broader and more celebrity
and opinion oriented.”
Celebrity cltre ths be-
came more relevant with con-
smers indlging in their gilty pleasres. Entertainment tab-
loids featred more gossip
stories, playing into the nat-
ral desire to see, read, and hear
the maladies of celebrities. The
term sed for this is known as
schadenfrede, which means
to get joy ot of the failres
of others. Celebs are held on
sch a high pedestal and re-
garded as perfect, that we are
almost inclined to want to cel-
ebrate when they make hman
mistakes. Not only do we feel
better that they are not as im-
maclate as they seem, bt that
sometimes their problems are
as bad, or worse, than ors.
Ileana Garcia, an assistant to
city concilman David Oh, says
becase of the rise of celebrity
news, the competition for na-tional news to keep p interest
grew. “I think what has hap-
pened is that the real news has
to keep p with what people are
seeking ot more,” she said. “It
seems like they exaggerate how
they present a real news story;
almost like they want it to grab
yor attention more based on
how they grab yo, bt not why
the story is actally important.”
It goes withot saying
that some of s are aware of
Miley Cyrs’ performance at
this year’s MTV Video Msic Awards in Agst, whether
actively or by accident. Cyrs’
risqé performance raised eye-
brows and got people talking,
so mch so that it was on the
front page of almost every na-
tional and local news pblica-
tion.
Karen Getzen, Ph.D., assis-
tant professor of English, ad-
mits that she only became aware
of the story when she picked p
Philadelphia Inquirer . “I saw
the story emblazoned on the
front [of the Inqirer] and on
Pop Culture Think: Today’s Definition of News
ABC national news, so I want-
ed to see what made it so rele-
vant,” she says. “Even thogh Idon’t really think celebrity newsis important enogh to garnerfront page headlines, I can see
why there is a demand for it andthat is becase it plays into cr-rent yoth cltre.”
How shold we determine what is news and what is not? That is entirely p to the reader,bt what we choose to seek otcontribtes to what we deemas important. Reading an en-
tertainment story or the gossipsection of the paper does notnecessarily mean that yo arecompletely oblivios to real
world isses. Instead, it solidi-es that we often seek ot sto-
ries that can distract s from it.Reality television shows
have also played into qenching
or thirst for knowing abot
celebrity life and have made
the desire to know abot them
stronger. Becase they have
made themselves more acces-
sible, it makes s feel as thogh we have more of a right to be
involved.
And jst like the song to
which Cyrs’ performance was
set, celebrities sch as herself
have blrred the lines of real-
ity and have people qestion-
ing, what exactly constittes as
the denition of fame? It also
brings one to ponder the obvi-
os: Shold Miley Cyrs’ per-
formances be covered by the
same news sorces that cover
the world’s hard-hitting news?
KYLE MICK ’15Staff Writer
In an age of manfactredmega-pop hits, dmbed-downlyrics with as mch sbstanceas a dll crayon, and gim-
micky costme-lled live per-formances that become thehighlight of everyone’s Twitterfeed, it is hard to see a ftre
where creative, and passion-
ate msicians get the recogni-tion they deserve in the m-
sic indstry. While the blightof poorly crafted pop msicseems to never end, a glimmer
of hope has emerged from themisty shores of Iceland. A softspoken, hmble msician, withan nbond creativity and m-
sical passion that is conveyedin the massive emotional msiche creates. His name is Olafr
Arnalds.Mostly an nknown name
in the united States, this Ice-
landic born metal drmmertrned innovative classicalcomposer, has taken Eropeby storm with an ingenios mixof sweeping melodic classical
compositions, and compter
Key Tracks: “Brim” • “For Now I Am
Winter” • “This Place Was A Shelter”
“For Now I Am Winter”processed effects that feel sr-
prisingly matre compared to
other msical grops, sch asDaft Pnk or DeadMa5. In
his third stdio albm titled,
“For Now I Am Winter,” Ola-
fr Arnalds takes s on a jor-
ney of msical experimenta-
tion and memorable classical
melodies that are lled with
sweeping violins, melancholy
cellos, and the sond of Ar-
nalds’ cryptic piano lingering
in the backgrond. While ev -
ery track ts perfectly together
like a well-constrcted pzzle,
what feels ot of place on this
albm is the singing done by
Arnor Dan. While his voice
sonds amazing, the bland lyr-ics that he sings detracts from
the msical compositions that
Olafr Arnalds painstakingly
pt together. Thogh this is a
minor complaint, it is enogh
to make yo hit skip every
once in a while.
If yo have never listened
to classical msic before or
have listened to it yor entire
life, Olafr Arnalds, “For Now
I Am Winter,” is denitely a
great introdction into the
classical genre.

It is yor home away fromhome, yor sanctary, and aplace yo nd yorself spend-
ing a lot of time. Yo sleephere, have friends over, andmaybe occasionally stdy with-
in its walls. A dorm room is animportant part of many st-
dents’ college experience andcan be a tre reection of whothey are.
Megan Welch ‘16 and JessicaPerham ‘16, residents of Sgar-loaf, each described their roomin three words. Perham sedthe adjectives “mismatched,colorfl, and reective” while
Welch said “bright, cozy, andpeacefl.”
Back on camps, Jstin Mc-
Mahon ‘15 described his six-
person site in Fitzsimmons tobe “scary, fn, and messy.”
Each dorm room portraysan image and has character,
which depends on what yodecide to pt in it or how yodecorate it. Welch and Perhamtogether created a niqe en-
vironment with Perham’s Emi-nem poster and Welch’s scarvesbrightening p the room. Mc-
Mahon’s and his roommateshave a mch simpler way of liv -ing, similar to the stereotypicalrooms of men in college mov -ies. The bare essentials stackedp in the rooms, bt not alwaysin the most organized fashion.
When asked if they had atheme to their room, Brittany McDonogh ‘16 and OliviaGorczynski ‘15 said they wentfor bohemian and that they ac-
complished. The room featres
Stylizing CHC Dorms, the Clashing and the Cozy
colorfl bedspreads, tapestries
hanging in the corner of their
rooms, paper fans adorning their walls, and twinkle lightsto add that extra accent. The
ladies most certainly knocked
it ot of the park with theirtheme. Their favorite part of
their room is their vanity. Overthe mirror they strng lights
and as McDonogh pts it,
“They are the focal point of theroom and when they are on the
atmosphere is soothing.”upperclassmen may think
back to the days in Fontbonne,
an experience that freshmen
Andrew Hildebrand (In proofsthe D on Hildebrand got left
off) ‘17 and Scott McGrath ‘17
are living right now. Their door
is often left open, as are many in this residence hall, whichcreates a tight-knit living com-
mnity. The fact that they know
everyone is their favorite part.If yo walk into their room
the rst thing yo wold see is
their nice television where they,and their teammates, can watch
sports, movies, and play videogames, of corse, only when
they are not stdying.
Christina Roach ‘15 residesin the Lincoln Woods Apart-
ments across from the school
and she cold not be happier with her living sitation. The
fact that she has a kitchen and
a landry room at her disposal
is denitely a benet, bt thatis not even her favorite part.
Roach said, “My two favor-
ite things abot my apartment
are the replace and the deck.
We are not allowed to se the
replace bt it makes it hom-
ier. Or deck has a nice view
becase it overlooks the golf
corse.”
No matter where yo live
it is p to yo to make it yor
own. Each residence hall has its
benets and its downfalls, bt
in the end it is home for thisyear.

A college freshman goesthrogh many transitions,ranging from living on theirown or with a complete strang -er to a heavier academic work -load. College stdents have allbeen throgh it; a nightmareof a roommate or three weeks’
worth of work with the de
date qickly approaching, andin the worst cases, both. Thesetransitions are enogh to stressmany and send a few rnning back home. Now throw a fll-time job into that and yo havea Division II athlete.
“In Division II, we trainand play volleyball like it’s a flltime job,” says Emily Drew,freshman Volleyball playerfrom Hnterdon Central Re-
gional High School. “Typically if we aren't in the classroom,
we are training.” From playing
at the high school level of any sport to playing in college is ahge transition that is rarely acknowledged bt deserves it.
“The intensity of train-
ing at college is mch higherand taken more seriosly thanit was in high school,” saysMatt McLeod, freshman Soc-
cer player from Washington Township High School. “Thebiggest difference from highschool to college is the physicaland rate of play.”
The schedle of a Division
II athlete alone is a hge jmpfrom the schedle of a highschool athlete. “I was sed toonly have one practice a day,and working ot on my ownevery other day,” says Drew.
With only Snday as a recov -ery day these athletes are con-
ditioning, practicing and com-
peting with enogh intensity to make yo tired jst reading abot it.
“At CHC, not only do Ihave two hor practices eachday, bt I also have to t in
an hor conditioning workotdring the day on my own,”says Drew. “Practice is alwayshigh intensity, nless there is agame the next day, then it is alighter session,” adds McLeod.
This is not even inclding thegames they play, which can behors away.
Between conditioning,practices, and games, theseathletes commit a tremen-
dos amont of time to theirteam, all while balancing a col-lege academic workload. “It’sall abot planning yor time
wisely and getting yor work done as soon as yo can, be-
case soccer takes p a major-ity of my college time,” saysMcLeod. “I am prepared forthe fact that dring the week I
won't really have free-time andI will have limited free-timeon the weekends,” adds Drew.“If I have an hor in betweenclasses I am spending that time
getting a few homework prob-lems completed.”
While freshmen pt in jstas mch work as anyone elseon the team, they do not al-
ways get as mch playing time,bt nevertheless they contineto work hard for the benetof their team. “Or team hasgreat potential and I jst hopeto be apart of a great season,”says McLeod. “I want to repre-
sent my school and team wellby helping my team win andgo to the NCAA tornament,”
says Drew.No matter how mch hard
work and time they mst com-
m am s a-
ways an aspect of it that makesthem enjoy it. “I love the fam-
ily feel of being on the CHC volleyball team,” says Drew.“My team is lled with a lot of great players that all get pshedby one another to become bet-ter each training session,” saysMcLeod. “Everyone here is to
win and that’s the bottom line.”

Eagles With the rst snap not yet
to be taken, the PhiladelphiaEagles are already at war, bt
not as yo might think. Jsta cople days before theirMonday night opener in thenation's capital, wide receiverRiley Cooper and cornerback Cary Williams had a brief al-tercation that ended with fel-low teammates and coacheshaving to separate the two.However, it did not end there.
The ery cornerback contin-
ed jawing at his offensiveconterpoint before being ledaway by qarterback Michael
Vick. This qarrel most likely started as a reslt of Cooper'scomments in a video wherehe was caght sing a racialslr. Williams told uSA Today Sports that healing the brokentrst will take time. For theEagles’ sake, hopeflly thattime is before Monday night.
They will need their team tobe focsed in order to claimtheir rst division title since2010, in a tenacios NFC EastDivision, after a disappointing
4-12 campaign last season.
the Us and Dwns f philly SsPhillies
There is not mch to say abot the Phillies’ season ex-
cept that it has been a majordisappointment. Althoghit's very difclt to compete
within a divis ion with the
powerhose Atlanta Bravesand Washington Nationals,this team shold have donebetter than forth place inearly September. Let s startoff with positives: as always,Chase utley stayed rela-
tively healthy and consistentthroghot this season. Do-
monic Brown nally emergedfrom top prospect to a middleof the linep power hitter.Cliff Lee has been fantasticand Cole Hamels has pitchedbetter than what his nmbers
indicate. Darin Rf has beena pleasant srprise, providing some power in a limited role.
However, the positives endthere. Jimmy Rollins looksmore and more like a mediocreplayer every day. Roy Halladay
cannot stay healthy for a fllseason, and it makes yo won-
der if all of those srgeriesare going to affect his career.
The Delmon Yong signing was a disaster. Charl ie Manel,their manager since 2005, was
red in mid-Agst. To top itall off, they have one of the
worst contracts in baseball with Ryan Howard, sti ll owing him arond $75 million overthe next three years. Those arejst a few of the many mis-
takes that Rben Amaro, Jr.has made in the last cople of years. Before they make any plans for the ftre, the rstpriority shold be that Amaro
Jr. shold not be a part of it. The rosters have expandedand, hopeflly, they see call
ps with bright ftres, schas Adam Morgan and JesseBiddle. This season was a losteffort and Phillies fans sholdjst start saying "better lck next year."

Baseball--it has been Amer-ica’s pastime for decades, btfor the past few years, thesport has taken a big hit. Ma-
jor Leage Baseball has beentainted by the se of steroidsand many other kinds of per-formance enhancing drgs(PEDs).
On Ag. 5, there was anoth-
er storm of athletes accsed of cheating their sport. Three timeMost Valable Player (MVP)
Alex Rodrigez , 2011 NationalLeage MVP Ryan Bran, and
Texas Rangers’ Nelson Crzare jst a few of the names re-
leased in the list of players that were part of the year-long in-
vestigation into their ties to theSoth Florida anti-aging clinic,Biogenesis of America. In to-
tal, 13 players were sspended,some for the rest of the season,others for mch more. Bt this
is not the isse. Jst like in any sport that is
viewed by millions of people,
these professionals are in-
encing their viewers on a daily basis. Yong players look p tothese athletes, and if these kidslearn that their favorite playersare cheating in order to win,
what is that teaching them?Chestnt Hill College seniorDesmond Lites, an otelderon the Grifns baseball team,believes that the sport has tak -en a big hit becase of steroidse.
“It’s really jst frstrating becase yo have that stigmanow that anything yo do thatexceeds anyone’s expectations
will be qestioned and there’salways qestions arising wheth-
er someone’s taking steroids,”Lites said. “It’s really taking away from the game.”
Not only are isses arising concerning the respectability of baseball, bt awards given toplayers are also getting tainted.
There are many different opin-
ions concerning what shold
be done to players like RyanBran, who received a majorhonor in 2011, bt admitted to
taking performance enhancing drgs. Taylor Steen, a jnioron the Grifns baseball team,thinks that choosing whetheror not a player shold keep hisaward is a difclt choice.
“Baseball is a very toghsport to play. When a playerfails seven ot of ten timesand are considered great, it jstgoes to show that in baseball aplayer will fail a lot more thanthey will scceed,” Steen said.
“Players sholdn’t be strippedof their accomplishments; they shold jst go down in history
with an asterisk, so that peopleknow that they did not do itnatrally.”
The bottom line is that weare living in a world wherecheating in sports is almost in-
evitable. If Major Leage Base-ball accepts that fact, they coldmove forward in attempting totackle a sitation that threat-ens to tarnish the game that somany American love.
