Cabrini revealed its new logo to students, faculty and alumni Friday, March 17 in the Grace Hall Atrium. The logo is just a part of a new identity that is expected to be fully implemented by this summer. The event was hosted by alumnus and television newsman Steve Highsmith and featured mummers from the Avalon String Band. The insignia has four symbols with a Latin phrase at the bottom meaning, "Service above self." The new campaign also includes a brand promise, "Do something extraordinary." Pizza, soda and cookies were
provided for the crowd while the Cavalier mascot danced along with the Mummers, who provided music. Highsmith, class of '88, brought the crowd together around noon when Father Michael Bielecki, class of '05, offered a prayer. Tying into the brand promise, Highsmith then introduced members of the Cabrini community who were doing extraordinary things. Among the list were the student government president, class presidents and the president of the alumni association, Hillary Hoch Chybinski, class of '90. Dr. Jerry Zurek was applauded for his achievement as the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education Professor of the Year for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Tony Gregory, a
sophomore exercise science major, was recognized as Cabrini's first National Collegiate Athletic Association champion. He won the triple jump in Northfield,
Minn. Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, the college president, reminded the campus why the new marketing campaign was so important. She said, "We know we're good; we want to be great." She also conveyed the importanee of the people in the community. She said, "We are a community of ordinary individuals who do extraordinary things here." Gene Castellano, the vice president for marketing and communications at Cabrini, presented the symbolism behind the new LOGO,page3

Monday marked the third anniversary of the war in Iraq. Politicians and analysts have all chimed in on our presence in Iraq and the issues surrounding it, but what do people really think about the war in Iraq now, after three years of effort? Several students offered their views on the war in Iraq and on what the future of this war holds for America forces. "I think they should come back. We did all we can to help Iraq become a better country. Our troops being there don't serve a
purpose," Allison Gidich, a sophomore exercise science major, said. Many have expressed the same sentiments. American lives seem to be the most important part of this war. ls our continued presence there worth the lives of American troops? How many troops are we willing to commit to this war? These are many questions that have left to be unanswered. "Because we are in the war,
