On October 15th, Bentley University students and staff helped unveil the brand new community center at Prosect Hill Terrace, a low-income housing development in Waltham.

Prosect Hill is the city’s largest development of its kind. The project itself has been an ongoing process for over a year, involving Brandeis University, Waltham residents, officials, agencies and corporate partners. The project involved converting a 5,000-square-foot empty building and lot into a community service for both Prospect Hill Terrace residents and the Waltham community as a whole.

The large project was guided by both Jeannette MacInnes of Bentley and Lucas Malo of Brandeis. MacInnes is the Senior Associate Director of the Bentley Service Learning Center, while Malo is the Director of the Brandeis Department of Community Service.

“This community center,

which will enrich the lives of so many families, truly shows the power of student leadership from Brandeis and Bentley. They helped to make this happen by applying their perseverance, skills and creativity,” said Bentley president Gloria Larson.

The thoughts were echoed by Brandeis University President Frederick Lawrence.

“The collaborative efforts between the city of Waltham, the Prospect Hill Tenants Association, Bentley and Brandeis have shown all of us how much we can accomplish when we put our resources together,” said President Lawrence.

The center itself will be used for afterschool activities and various enrichment

opportunities like job skill set training courses, resume writing workshops, tutoring, computer programming classes, English language learner instruction, and fitness and health education classes. “This facility and its programs will serve as a valuable resource for the Prospect Hill community for years to come,” said President Lawrence.

The center itself will include a director and several volunteers and student coordinators from Bentley and Brandeis. They will partner with the Prospect Hill Tenants Association to create specific programs and a curriculum for the different students helped at the center. The plan is to tailor these programs to age and cultural background, so each student is given the best opportunity.

The entire center was made possible by a variety of different efforts from around the community. More specifically, the City of Waltham supplied the project with $230,000 of grant money in the Community Development Block Grant. The Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community also supplied an extra $40,000 of financial aid.

From the beginning Bentley and Brandeis students have stayed actively involved by developing programs and helping receive grant money. Professor Joan Atlas of Bentley wrote the grant for the Community Development

This past month, a Massachusetts task force came together to gather and record suggestions on how to bridge the wage gap between genders.

The “Successful Women, Successful Families” task force outlined these suggestion in a special report presented at the Center for Women and Business at Bentley University. It’s all part of a greater movement to achieve wage equality between women and men nationwide.

The Center for Women and Business was founded by Betsy Myers and is concentrated on supporting women in reaching their potential within the workplace. The recent movement aligns nicely with the ideals of the center.

The task force also looks to create more opportunities for women in leadership roles and create more family-oriented ideals within the workplace. This includes flexible schedules and paid leave for those in the private sector. The task force itself was created

by Governor Deval Patrick, a strong proponent for wage equality. “If the Massachusetts economy is going to continue to thrive, employers must design a workplace that maximizes their talent and potential by eliminating the wage gap and focusing on family-oriented practices and benefits,” said Patrick in a statement.

The report found that women only earn 77 cents for

every dollar earned by men in the state of Massachusetts. While this is a smaller gap than recent years, it still amounts to a $12.2 billion difference. Not only this, but women also occupy fewer positions in upper-level management. According to the report, of the 100 largest companies in Massachusetts, women hold less than 14 percent of the seats on the board of directors

despite making up almost 50% of the total workforce.

One of the task force’s goals is to work with the education department to find trends in the educational path that girls tend to take. This includes specific courses and subsequent performance. From these trends, the department can then create a plan to encourage girls to take courses that may help lead to

those high-income careers. Courses in subjects like science, math and technology have been known to prepare those better for higher-paying careers.

So far, fourteen companies in the state have bought into the movement. They all will be participating in the current challenge of increasing the number of women on the board of directors.

Three events you don’t want to miss

2 3

We all love to hate on the Smith stairs, but there’s a more winding issue that we need to address: the Flex principle.

So what exactly is the Flex principle? it’s a term we just made up that tries a little too hard to incorporate a Bentley-related term as wordplay to describe an everyday campus annoyance. the Flex principle states the following truth: on the Bentley campus, there are no straight paths between any two buildings.

think about it. picture yourself in the Student Center. you’ve just finished dinner and need to make the trek to the library to do some studying. you step out onto the deck area and start walking towards Collins Hall. as you approach the

road, you are faced with your first dilemma: either turn to the left (to the left) and hike up via the miller hill or make your way to the Greenspace. upon arrival at the G, there is yet another quandary: up the Falcone or Smith stairs? pick your poison. Whichever way you go, you’ll be left second-guessing your decision, not unlike the questionable lineup choices that resulted in your fantasy football team being 2-5 and desperately clinging onto the last shreds of hope for playoff contention.

the more you think about it, the more instances you can think of where you’ve tried to go from one building to another, but could only take a path so convoluted and meandering it would give robert Frost an

aneurysm. Falcone to the Dana Center? Check. miller to morison? you bet. Slade to adamian? Fuhgettaboutit.

alas, the poorly-named Flex principle is as rigid as they come. Bentley isn’t going to tear down its infrastructure based on the whims of its student newspaper. Nor is it going to install the upper-to-Lower ski lift we’ve all been clamoring for. an overhaul of the Student Center is a start, though. We here at the vanguard are pretty pumped that our grandchildren will be among the first students to experience it!

We’ve gone a long and wordy way and haven’t really gotten anywhere, and our editorials in the foreseeable future will be more of the same. there’s a metaphor in here somewhere…

What are you involved in at Bentley?

i have been a resident assis-tant for three years, this year in boylston a. i am an office assis-tant at the residential center as well. The past three years i was involved with cab. My sopho-more year i was the Traditions co-chair and last year i was the comedy co-chair. i have also been a member of beta alpha psi Honors Fraternity.

advice to seniors/ words of wisdom

always be open, i find i’m meeting some of my closest friends now and i encourage everyone to always be open to expanding your friend group or establishing a close connection with someone new.

What are your goals for this year?

i hope to complete my degree programs. i also want to pass all four parts of the cpa exam at some point. i also hope i remem-ber to have more fun!

What are you looking forward to this year?

The senior class is a particular-ly friendly and open one, which is pretty rare. i am looking forward to spending time and having fun with all my fellow seniors at dif-ferent events class cabinet has planned. i have already begun a countdown to the bahamas!

How are you feeling about graduation?

i try not to think too much about it because it’s very con-flicting emotions. i am excited to move on, but also sad that i won’t be able to see friendly faces everywhere i go. That is the best thing about college, you want to go do something and you have about 20 people you can go around and ask.

What is the most valuable lesson you have learned at Bentley?

connections are the most valuable thing you can walk away from at bentley. not just

for job purposes, but rather for life purposes as well. developing connections with those who are older than you provides a sort of mentor, and provides some perspective with those who are younger allows you to change your perspective on things you wish you could change.

What are your plans for the future?

This summer i will finish the Msa program. i have accepted an offer as an auditor at deloitte llp in boston for next fall. From there i hope to eventually be-come a forensic accountant and work for the government, but who knows!

What is your favorite event on campus?

i hold a special place in my heart for cab events. i am look-ing forward groove boston and super bingo! i love events that bring the whole campus togeth-er!

What can Bentley do to help you with this year?

not be so hard! senior year keeps pushing as all the oth-er years have, it won’t let you check out! However, that is the life of a bentley student, busy busy busy.

Freshman Poop counti actually don’t know

where to start. Wow. you may be asking, “What the hell is the Freshman poop count?”. Well, avid police log readers, it is the a m o u n t of times that facili-ties had to go and u n c l o g all the toilets in f reshman h o u s i n g . What have you people been eating? Have they changed the seasons formula since i was a freshman? Everyone always thought they laced the food with laxatives but i think this an-swers the question. They don’t. Freshman, take a trip on the shuttle, go to Harvard square and go buy some fiber.

Seasons Smuggleit was reported to the

campus police that a stu-dent had been taking more than their allotted fruit from seasons for the past few days. now if that is not a crime, i do not know what is. you pay over $10 per meal but you’ll be damned if you want too much fruit be-tween now and breakfast. i warn you seasons fruit smuggler, the police are on your tail and are slowly infiltrating your group. The new 23rd Jump street will be the bentley police un-derground mission of the bentley Fruit smuggler. if you are a white male be-tween 5’5” and 6’1” your extra fruit days are num-bered.

Spray and PrayWell people, it was only a

matter of time until the in-evitable return of the bent-ley skunk. our favorite non-falcon animal has returned with a vengeance. The skunk has reportedly been posted up on the bridge and has been terrorizing all students. The spray of the skunk has been prevent-ing movement from upper to lower. We do not nego-tiate with terrorists here at bentley, skunk you have met your match. bentley can only take enough gross smell from the lower dump-sters, we cannot take skunk too. if the skunk smell shall block out the sun, then we will call animal control in the shade.

Rowdy Parentsofficers responded to a

situation over the weekend to the football game involv-

ing a rowdy parent. The parent of the football player apparently had a little bit too much to drink during the tail gate and was yell-ing obscene things at the

ref and oppos-ing teams. The things s t a t e d were far too inap-p rop r i a t e to post. The par-ent was asked to stay by his

car for the remainder of

the game and not to return to the

field. He kept trying to sneak back into the field to watch his kid play. There were even rumors he put on Flex’s costume to try to disguise himself from be-ing caught. The things that parents do to watch their kids play sports are awe-some and for that we thank you.

clogged Showerlast week facilities were

notified about a clogged shower in one of the dor-mitories. There is only one reason that this could pos-sibly occur. That reason is from people shaving their pubes in the shower. The shower is the only realistic place that you can do this without making a mess, but the fact that someone clogged the shower is kind of gross. Facilities said that when they cleaned the shower they found enough hair to donate to locks of love, but they decided not to in the interest of some-one’s head being subject to that.

Locked up Bentley Edi-tion

police were notified that a student was locked in his bedroom and could not get out. i originally thought this story was funny, but then i realized the same thing happened to me last year. some of the doors and locks in the dorms get stuck and it is not fun when you are stuck inside. The kid was yelling for help be-cause he had to go to the bathroom so bad. When police arrived they noticed a note under the door. it said, “Haven’t eaten in days and need to use the bath-room.” When the police fi-nally got the door opened, they realized that they had gotten there too late. The kid had peed himself mul-tiple times and was forced to eat protein powder for food. Hopefully his door will be fixed in the future so this doesn’t happen again.

chances are that many of us have heard about, demoed or interacted with language-learning software at some point in the past. a perfect example is rosetta Stone—and perhaps a lesser known competitor to it, Zlingo, which focuses almost entirely on providing enterprise-level language solution software to businesses, not individual consumers.

Zlingo is an eight year old, online-only language education company, currently only targeting Spanish speakers who want to learn English. according to its website, Zlingo’s mission, “is to offer both the tutor and the learner an effective and pleasant tool to achieve language learning and practice.” Like

other competitors, such as rosetta Stone or Englishtown, Zlingo creates an “effective and challenging learning experience that is suitable for beginner, intermediate and advanced learners.”

So why is Zlingo relevant to you and me? Zlingo is relevant because it is the perfect example of our business education at bentley university coming to fruition in the real world and coming full-circle back to the university. Miroslav Kriz, a senior and finance major at bentley university, is the chief operating officer of Zlingo and has been with the firm in an executive role since his junior year of high school! Many of us have heard of the Integrated business Project (gb320), are currently taking the course or have completed it.

It is well known that the course is developed not only to give students real life experience in dealing with and solving business problems, but also to aid fledging entrepreneurial ventures in their growth by pooling intellectual capital to solve problems that they may have. Miroslav’s involvement in Zlingo and now having the firm being used for case analysis by his own school’s gb320 course, ultimately shows that a student’s growth and education does not have to end with graduation, but can turn into a client relationship like Zlingo and gb320.

as mentioned, Zlingo is primarily an enterprise solution for language learning and the firm hopes to change that by shifting to a more individual consumer oriented model. With the intellectual ability

of students participating in gb320, they can help Zlingo answer questions such as: Who is the right customer for Zlingo? How can Zlingo create a more appealing, customer friendly website? How should Zlingo use social media in its marketing? as well as other business issues that can most readily be tackled by young businessmen and women who may arguably have the most adept understanding of our modern business environment.

In an interview with the vanguard, Kriz said that he hopes to help bentley as it helped him over the past three years. He hopes that students who have the fortune to analyze his company, will promote entrepreneurship on campus.

However, this is not just a story of a student’s work

experience coming full-circle back to bentley. Zlingo participating with bentley in its gb320 program, lets the firm to gain not just marketing and publicity advice, but can have its business problems worked on from the perspectives of over 200 bright college minds. according to Kriz, if this endeavor with bentley is successful, Zlingo would not mind a continued relationship with the school—Increasing the value of his soon-to-be alma mater and the students here, as well as the potential of Zlingo.

opportunities with Zlingo are available and chief-operating-officer Kriz states that students interested are more than welcome to get directly in touch with him at miroslavkriz2@gmail.com or via his LinkedIn account.

Energy stocks have also be-gun to stabilize as oil prices are no longer falling. The energy sector has seen sharp hits over the past several months, but prices drops have calmed and have been slowly increasing over the past few days. The current price of oil is now near its lowest level since June 2012. It closed

still unpredictable if the index will increase again. European stocks are still struggling. ger-man stocks daX decreased by 1.50% and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index decreased by 0.52%. There is still uncertainty as to whether or not these negative effects will spill into the u.S. economy.

according to MarketWatch, one thing that could restore con-fidence among investors is “a set of upbeat u.S. corporate re-sults, and signs companies can maintain their margins.” Since the united States economy is one of the largest in the global spectrum, it is imperative for it provide better results in order to lift certain market restrictions that negatively impact those economies that heavily depend on the u.S. market. Investors are still hopeful, but cautious regard-ing the market’s performance. With two positive trading days, the stock indexes are looking to show overall signs of growth.

The major stock indexes in-cluding naSdaQ, S&P 500 and dow Jones has shown increas-ing rates recently, after facing se-vere drops a few days prior. The naSdaQ composite Index is up 1.35% to a value of 4,316.07. The S&P 500 Index is up by 0.91% to a value of 1,904.02. The dow Jones Industrial aver-age is up 0.12% to a value of 16,399.67. globally, indexes are on a rise in the asia-Pacific re-gions, while indexes in Europe, the Middle East and africa are dipping into the negative per-centages. despite more relaxed price changes, investors are still concerned that European insta-bility may spillover into u.S. mar-kets.

volatility levels fell remarkably during the past few days. The vIX volatility Index, or “fear in-dex” went down to under 20 af-ter reaching warning signs of 30 just last week.

While the stock market did reach a calm, investors are still uncertain as to how long this will last given the dow alternated between triple-digit losses and triple-digit gains. volatility lev-els were at high levels and it is

banking under the Microscopelevel of returns reappearing anytime soon. So far, how much banks pay their employ-ees has not adjusted to the significantly lower returns on equity since the crisis. cunliffe said, “given lower levels of leverage, it is unlikely that we will see, or want to see again, the returns on equity that we saw before the crisis. In the new world, pay bills may well have further to adjust.” cun-liffe avoided the specific issue of bank bonuses and did not single out executives. cunliffe also made a point of highlight-ing the detrimental reversal of global banking integra-tion since the financial crisis. “Financial globalization has clearly been rolled back since

shadow banking industry. The scale of the industry alone is revealing. In the united States, shadow banking assets are bigger than conventional banking assets. In china, the shadow banking sector is es-timated to account for 35% - 55% of gdP. Since 2012, European bank assets have fallen by 11% while invest-ment fund assets have risen by 30%. To curb the growth of shadow banking, the FSb last week announced a new rule that will increase the minimum collateral required in securities financing transac-tions. Estimated at nearly $4 trillion, the securities financing industry involves short-term money raising transactions between banks and the afore-mentioned non-bank financial institutions through the lend-ing and borrowing of shares and repurchase agreements (repos).

The new rule, which comes into effect from 2018, only ap-plies to transactions between banks and other financial insti-tutions. as there are currently no restrictions on securities financing transactions, the potentially dangerous bankers can lurk in the shadows for a little while longer.

on Sunday, the Euro-pean central bank (Ecb) will release the results of the stress tests conducted on one hundred and thirty Euro-pean banks. The findings of the Ecb’s financial inspec-tion, which has taken nearly a year, will highlight the state of Europe’s banking system. The stress tests simulate the financial effect of various eco-nomic and financial shocks on banks. Most observers expect few surprises in the results, partially due to the level of co-operation between the Ecb and the banks during the test-ing process. Most predictions have the Ecb giving most of Europe’s banks a clean bill of health. The leniency of the Ecb in setting the guidelines for the stress test and imple-menting the compromised guidelines is understandable, but has raised skepticism as to how well the tests reflect the ability of Europe’s banks to stand firm in case of future economic shocks. The asset Quality review (aor) results, as the test is formally known, should improve the mood of the European and global mar-kets.

bank scrutiny has been in vogue in recent weeks. on Monday, the bank of Eng-land’s deputy governor for fi-nancial stability, Sir Jon cun-liffe, spoke about the need for banks to reduce pay in light of the improbability of pre-crisis

in 2009, the Financial Stabil-ity board (FSb) is currently the closest thing to a global bank-ing regulatory body. as the g20’s financial regulator, its recommendations and guide-lines affect global banking and financing considerably. ‘Shad-ow banking’ is the latest prac-tice of concern to the FSb.

Early this month, the IMF released a report outlining the dangers that shadow bank-ing poses to the global finan-cial system. as regulation has made it significantly more diffi-cult for banks to take lucrative risks, a lot of risky financing has been taken over by hedge funds, insurance companies and the other financial insti-tutions, which comprise the

the crisis, some of it because of risk-aversion and partly due to regulation.”

on the same british bank-ers association panel that Sir Jon was speaking on, Marisa Lago assistant Secretary for International Markets and de-velopment at the u.S. Treasury department noted that com-plete integration is highly un-likely. She said, “I don’t think we can hold out the hope that we’re going to have absolute harmonization. We come from too many traditions. Setting the goal of harmonization sets you up for failure.”

The level of integration in global banking is admittedly much higher than it was before the financial crisis. Established

that’s why viewers were excited when mid-last season survivors were forced to scatter to different places and work towards finding each other once again. When a show is about zombies, it works best when there is an element of surprise. Staying in one place for too long eliminates new threats and necessitates more segments dedicated to monologues rather than zombie-killing and let’s be clear, fans definitely want zombie-killing.

another problem the show faces moving forward, is the solemn nature of world in which it operates. There are only so many times all hope can be snatched from the characters before we as viewers begin to ask the same questions that the survivors should be asking: Why are we here? are the survivors trying to survive simply to live, or are they working towards a goal? because simply living seems bleak, knowing that death is always right around the corner.

currently on the show, there is hope for a cure, which is closely guarded by one of the characters; this is what is

driving the survivors to keep moving forward right now. but knowing that if a cure is found that there would be no show, it is likely that this will turn out to be, yet again, false hope. once there is no hope for a cure, they are left questioning, yet again, why they are trying to survive? We are left to question why we’re still watching. and as fun as it is to continuously see zombies taken out in new ways, that too has to grow old eventually.

It is clear with such high viewership that The Walking dead has done a good job of mixing it up thus far and aMc has plans to keep producing the show so long as people are still willing to watch. The show certainly has help from its source material, the comic book series of the same name, to help it come up with new plot twists and scenarios to put the survivors through. Fans just hope that with each new season there will be new heroes to root for, new villains (besides the zombies) to hate, new locations to offer up some surprising scares and new reasons to keep watching the show.

TWD is back, but for how long?

With smashed skulls, burning bodies and bullets flying everywhere, the zombie apocalypse is back!

This past Sunday, aMc’s The Walking dead began their fifth season and obliterated their own premiere episode record with 17.3 million viewers. There’s no denying that fans of the show are just as hungry as ever for the violent dystopia the show portrays.

Most of the questions that plagued last season were answered by end of this week’s episode. The fate of our main characters at Terminus was decided and within the hour, the story was ready to move on to other plotlines. Even better, this episode contained plenty of zombie kills and intense action from our heroes that kept the action moving at break-neck pace.

but the question on the minds of many remains: How long can this show keep being entertaining? as many long-time fans of the show know, The Walking dead has a history of being hit-or-miss. Season 2 saw the story slow to a halt as most of it was spent on a farm, talking in circles about retaining your humanity at the end of the world. Even season 4 became repetitive after keeping the main characters confined within the walls of a prison for consecutive seasons and having them fight the governor. While the governor proved to be an intimidating and admirable foe, there is only so long the audience wants to see the same fights being had.

It is new enemies and different locations that keep the show from going stale;

OPINION THE vanguard ocTobEr 23, 2014 9

Bentley University

175 Forest Street

Waltham, MA 02452What is an annoying

habit tourists in your

area have?

NOTES FROM ABROAD

Morse has been using a bike to get around Seville.

This might sound a little ridicu-lous, but one of the most annoy-ing things that tourists here do is block the bike paths. although Seville has public transportation, many people who live here use bikes to get around. People ei-ther own their own bike or use the public bike system called Sevici. Since there are so many pedestrians walking around the city, there are designated bike paths on sidewalks and through-out the city center. The paths al-low bicyclists to make their way from point a to point b without having to weave in and out of ev-eryone walking on the streets…supposedly. These bike paths are either painted green with an image of a bike on them or are lined by a series of silver circles depicting images of bikes. In both cases, it’s pretty clear that these strange paths aren’t just randomly on the streets. Just in case someone misses the re-peating bicycle images, there are signs that warn that these paths are for bicyclists. nevertheless, tourists have no problem walking directly in the middle of the bike paths. If it looks too crowded to walk near the tables at all of the outdoor bars and restaurants, tourists assume they can walk on the green bicycle paths in-stead. Frequently, a tourist will stop in the middle of the path to take a picture with blatant disre-gard for the bicyclists.

I personally am a user of the

Sevici system and as much as I hate to admit it, I have been involved in one hit and run. al-though I probably should have been paying more attention and keeping my eyes on the road, this group of middle aged tour-ists should not have chosen the middle of the bike path as the best place to pull out their gi-gantic paper map to try to fig-ure out where they were. all of the Sevici bikes come equipped with a bell and the people here are very aggressive about ring-ing them incessantly until some-one moves out of their way. at first, I felt a little rude doing this and am still hesitant to ring a bell at someone to make them move out of my way. but sev-eral times, I have seen tourists blatantly ignore the fact that a ringing bell is coming up behind them and continue walking as if there wasn’t a problem. as if I wasn’t already enough of a li-ability riding around on this bulky public bike, the tourists who de-cide to stand in the bike paths make things even more difficult. although I have definitely im-proved my bicycle maneuvering skills and am a little less hesitant to ring my bell, these tourists in the bike paths definitely mess up my biking rhythm and slow me down when I’m trying to get to class. after living in this city for a few months, I always make sure to steer clear of the bike paths and not get in someone’s way when I cross them, be-cause I don’t want to be THaT annoying tourist.

Emma morsESEvIllE, SPaIn

one of the things I find most annoying and rude is when tourists do not try to speak the language of the country they are visiting. Whatever country I travel to, I try to learn the basics: hello, goodbye, please and thank you. In my opinion, it shows respect to the culture and the people living there. Even in places that thrive off tourists and the where people speak English I try to speak the language of the country I am in before resorting to my native language.

one specific example of this was when I was in Sol, the city center of Madrid. The center of Madrid has many tourist shops and almost every storeowner speaks English. Since my Spanish is becoming better each day, I can now hold a conversation pretty well with the store owners. one couple who did not speak Spanish came into the store and immediately started speaking English. They did not even try to say hola before they started speaking the language with which they were comfortable. I could immediately see the face of the storeowner

BaylEy DiEtzMadrId, SPaIn

KarEn WangroME, ITaly

become unamused and his resistance to help them. The two people went around the shop not even realizing what they had done. I bought my items and left the store.

as I left, I realized that this happens a lot more often than I originally realized. When I first arrived in Madrid, I tried using Spanish as much as I could, but it felt so much easier to say something in English and hope the other person would understand. now I understand that this is somewhat rude and disrespectful to the people who live here. after working in retail for a few years now, I would not be happy if someone came up to me and started speaking in their native language. I would feel frustrated if I didn’t understand what they were saying and I would find it rude that they didn’t even try to speak English.

I have found that most people will gladly help someone if they at least attempt to speak Spanish. It is important to be a respectful tourist in whatever country you visit. now that I have lived in Madrid for two months, I have realized how much people appreciate even a small attempt at Spanish. They are much more receptive to your needs because you have shown them that you respect their culture and their language even if you do not know how to speak a lot of it.

The romans whir like worker bees around the bar. Everyone stands, as if awaiting their turn to sit on Santa’s lap. The clinking of porcelain draws me in while the rich robust scent of coffee beans wafts through the crisp morning air.

The bartender nods at me and grins. “buongiorno,” he beams, “un cappuccino?”

“Sì, sì per piacere, grazie!” I reply. glancing around the café, I silently eye the marma-lade and chocolate-filled cor-nettos through the polished glass cabinet. Within seconds, I am served a steaming cup of espresso, topped with a layer of frothy heart-shaped milk. I hand the bartender one euro and smile gratefully.

“Prego,” he replies.I stir the tiny teaspoon in the

cappuccino and the intricate

(perhaps something more along the lines of Starbucks or dunks), you could always try to find a bar that serves “caffe americano’s or un caffe lungo” in tall plastic takeaway cups. but in lieu of having a flashing indicator sign stating, “I aM aMErIcan” above my head, I tend to satiate my craving with the small, but undoubtedly de-lightful, shot glass worth of cof-fee.

Perhaps the child’s size cups are Italians’ secret way of stay-ing thin. regardless, this hustle-and-bustle type mentality gives us a glimpse into the everyday lives of rome, where lunches are the main meal of the day and siestas are taken around two in the afternoon. Since cof-fee has become such a vital part of the Italian culture, I can’t help but to draw out my morn-ing cappuccinos and stare at the city in wonder between sips of dark amber nectar.

design quickly dissolves. Tak-ing two, perhaps three sips is sufficient to clear the contents of the three ounce demitasse. licking my lips to ensure noth-ing goes to waste, I yell out a quick, “grazie, ciao ciao!” and stride out the door.

Everybody knows Italy is fa-mous for its coffee. but if you try asking for a large, iced or “da porta via” (to-go), you’ll get nothing short of a puzzled or disappointed grimace from the bartender. unlike us americans, with our, “grande soy extra-hot pumpkin spice latte… Whipped cream? uh, yes please!” the concept of an Italian coffee break is a quick and easy af-fair. For the most part, your op-tions are: un cappuccino, un espresso or un latte macchiato. The potency of their espresso reflects the cliché “quality over quantity” and rightfully so.

If you’re desperately looking for a piece of home in rome

dietz tries to learn the basics of languages.

What is a Popular trend in your host country? Why do

you think it has caught on and have you gotten hooked?

as everyone else headed home for the fall break over columbus day Weekend, the bentley Falcons hosted the Warriors of Merrimack college on Saturday afternoon. bentley came into the game with a record of 1-4, but had only lost their previous contests by a combined 17 points. on the other hand, the Merrimack Warriors came to town with a 2-3 record looking to upend the Falcons.

neither team was able to score in the first quarter, with each team stonewalling each

other’s attempts. bentley struck first in the second quarter thanks to a 23-yard field goal by junior kicker Michael baron. Following the field goal, bentley and Merrimack traded touchdowns, with sophomore Martin bannerman punching one in for the Falcons from 5 yards out.

Heading into the third quarter with the Falcons up by a field goal, Merrimack quickly responded with a touchdown of their own. However, danny guadagnoli would find Matt guay on an 11-yard reception for a touchdown to put bentley back on top, 17-14.

as the teams continued to trade touchdowns, Merrimack was able to get ahead thanks to two quick scores that pushed their lead to 28-17. bentley was not going down without a fight, however, as guadagnoli connected with senior wide-out Jeff Hill on a beautiful 66-yard touchdown to bring the Falcons within three after a successful two-point conversion.

However, the final drive of the day for the Falcons resulted in a heart-breaking interception that sealed the victory for the Warriors.

guadagnoli, who moved up to third all-time in bentley passing yards, lamented the Falcons’ latest crushing defeat:

“It was another devastating loss no doubt. We just didn’t play well enough to win. another one that came to the wire and again the ball didn’t bounce in our favor. In prior weeks we had played well enough to win, but this weekend we just made too many mistakes and didn’t deserve to win.”

The Falcons then traveled to Southern connecticut State last weekend looking to avenge the last-minute lost versus Merrimack. When asked about the outlook of the game, captain danny

guadagnoli said: “We are confident that we

match up well against them and we expect to go down there and get a win. We are all ready to make a run down the stretch of the season.”

This positive outlook was clearly displayed in the game on Sunday, as bentley scored 24 first-half points in dominating fashion en route to a 38-7 win over Southern connecticut. guadagnoli threw for four touchdowns, two of which went to senior wide-out Jeff Hill and the others to Sean Myers and Matt guay. With his touchdown reception, Hill

became the sixth player in bentley history to reach 200 career points. Senior running back Jet Kollie was also recognized for his efforts, as he was named the nE-10 Special Teams Player of the Week after recording 229 all-purpose return yards.

all in all, bentley came out firing on offense and their stout defense propelled them to a blowout conference victory to end their current losing skid. at 2-5 the team knows how important it is to build upon this momentum heading into its home game versus Pace university this Saturday.

Football suffers against merrimack, wins vs. so. Conn.

after a strong 2013 season that saw the men’s tennis team finish at 11-8 and 8-2 in con-ference play, the 2014 squad is looking to build off of their past success with an even more im-pressive array of talent.

Early into the 2014 schedule, the team has experienced in-credible success and a level of dominance that is undeniable. While dealing with an interrupt-ed schedule due to inclement weather, the team has managed to go 2-0, beating both a confer-ence opponent in Saint anselm as well as Salve regina, both by

a score of 9-0.In the match against Salve

regina, the Falcons proved to be too much to handle, beating Salve regina in both singles and doubles matches. The four play-ers leading the way were bren-dan Mccarthy, chase rosa, Evan comka and Jerry Liang. The dominance in the singles matches was staggering, as bentley lost only two games out of the five total singles matches. The team’s incredible combina-tion of youth and experience was on full display, with freshman brendan Mccarthy winning his match 6-0 and veteran leader Evan chomka winning his match by the same score.

The two doubles matches were played by brendan Mccar-thy, who was paired with fresh-man george Samander and alex deMuth in the second match.

Mccarthy has experienced great success thus far in his young career as a bentley tennis player. He has contributed to the early victories of the team and has been recognized on a per-sonal level. He was named the nE-10 rookie of the Week at the end of September, because of his stellar play during the uconn Invitational. The team looks to be primed for a strong season and a bright future with players like Mc-carthy.

coaches Edelmann and Ko-pelman have managed to put to-gether a solid roster over the past two seasons, finding a balanced attack of youth and veteran ex-perience. overall, the 2014 ros-ter is young, with alex deMuth and Peter Koopman the only two players representing the senior class. The leadership ability of the upper classmen, combined with the talent of young players like Mccarthy, point to positive signs for the Falcons.

The men’s team will be back on the court soon to complete against Wentworth, a match that was postponed last week due to weather. after that, the team will have some time off to rest and recharge for what is bound to be a promising year for bentley tennis.

Whenever a team can win two important matches in a row, it greatly boosts the confidence of everyone on the roster. That is just what happened with the women’s tennis team after they won a hard-fought match, 5-4, against Merrimack and then carried that hot streak into the next match, overwhelming Saint anslem 7-2.

The win over Merrimack was crucial, as it was a conference match and put the Falcons at a 5-4 record in the nE-10. The three doubles matches at the start of the day proved to be very important. bentley won two out of the three matches, taking a 2-1 lead going into the singles matches. catherine gianino and brittani Hetyei won their match 8-6. The pair of juniors overcame a slow start as they went down early 5-2. However, their resilience was shown on a grand stage as they battled back to defeat rachel Muller and Mackenzie blair of Merrimack.

bentley’s number three doubles won with relative ease, as Melanie Scott and Lexi Hinrichs won 8-3. The 6 singles matches were as close as they could have possibly been. bentley and Merrimack split the 6 matches, with bentley’s no.3, no.4 and no.6 seeds winning. none of the 6 matches were forced to go to a deciding third set, with bentley’s Susan Stowe not even allowing her opponent to win a single game as she won 6-0, 6-0. Hetyei was the day’s biggest winner as she won not only her doubles match, but also her singles match in the no. 4 spot 6-3, 6-0, defeating danielle dunn.

a couple days later in their final home match of the year, bentley cruised past Saint anslem 7-2, improving to 6-4 in the nE-10 conference. This match saw a couple different

players on bentley participate, as sophomore Kayla anghinetti was paired with Susan Stowe in the no.3 doubles match, winning 8-4.

additionally, in the no.6 singles match Jill Kamphaus of bentley beat Saint anslem’s april regan 6-1, 6-2. gianino and Hetyei were paired up again the no.2 doubles match and their chemistry showed as they won 8-2. not only did they win the doubles match, both of them won their singles matches as well. gianno won her match easily by a score of 6-2, 6-0, while Hetyei won her match 6-0, 6-1. all in all, it was a dominating performance by the team.

unfortunately, the team ended the year on a rough note with two straight losses to Southern new Hampshire and Stonehill, losing 9-0 and 8-1 respectively. In the six singles matches against SnHu, bentley had little success as all of the players went down in straight sets. In doubles, the #3 pair of Lexie Hinrichs and Melanie Scott found the most success, as they were able to win 3 games

in the 8-game pro set. against Stonehill, bentley’s lone point came from the no.2 singles match from catherine gianino.

Stonehill finished with a 10-2 record and will face assumption in the first round of the northeast-10 playoffs. For the Falcons, they finished with a 6-6 record for the year.

The Falcons will try to regroup after such a disappointing ending to the fall season. The spring season begins in March as the team will travel down south to Florida to play against Florida Tech and then Eckerd a few days later. after that 2-game stretch, the team will return home for good with three home matches in a row to finish out the spring season. The team will be facing a familiar foe in brandeis on March 20.

In april, bentley will be matched up against two other schools from Massachusetts. They first play Endicott college on april 12 and then five days later they close the season with a match against Simmons college. With such a promising team, the Falcons are poised for a playoff run!

The Bentley Falcons take the ice this year with aspirations for improvement, coming off of a 19-win regular season record and a quarterfinal post-season elimination to the Canisius Golden Griffins last year. This year’s 26-man roster is managed by head coach Ryan Soderquist (‘00), his 13th season behind the bench, and is captained by senior forward Alex Grieve.

Bentley will see many new additions to its roster this year, as seven freshman players have joined the team hoping to avenge Bentley’s early post-season exit the previous year. Senior captains, Alex Grieve, Alex Kubiak, Brett Switzer and Steve Weinstein, lead the Falcons into the 2014-2015 season through a schedule that includes games between all division opponents, as well as a handful of out-of-conference matchups. Bentley, a member of the Atlantic Hockey Division, will square off against conference teams Air Force, American International, Army, Canisius, Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, Niagara, Robert Morris, RIT and Sacred Heart, as well as out of conference teams Rensselaer, Penn State and Harvard.

When asked about his expectations for the upcoming season, Coach Soderquist said the following:

“We return a great group of leaders from last year’s team and expect that we will continue to build off of last year,” referring to last season when Bentley made it to the Quarterfinals round but fell short against Canisius, losing the best of three series, 2-1.

Team captain Alex Grieve expects nothing less than superb this season, stating, “I

expect us to be at the top of the standings by the end of the year.”

The Falcons opened up the 2015 season on the road October 11 vs. No. 15 ranked Quinnipiac, a team that nearly went all the way two years ago, before losing to Yale in the NCAA National Championship Game. In spite of some impressive individual performances, Bentley suffered a difficult 5-3 loss to the Bobcats. The Falcons saw great play from sophomore forward Max French, who netted two goals and an assist in Bentley’s season opener.

The Falcons then visited Sacred Heart in the opener of a home-and-home series on October 17. The first divisional matchup of the season saw Bentley achieve its first win of the year by a score of 4-1. Goals were scored by four different players, three of them coming in a dominant second period for the Falcons. Alex Grieve was effusive with praise when describing the offensive skill on the team, he said, “We have some very smart and talented players that can score at will.”

The Falcons then returned home to the JAR (John A. Ryan Arena) the following evening on October 18, hosting Sacred Heart in the second game of the home-and-home. Although backed by a massive turnout of Bentley student-fans for the home-opener, a combination of numerous turnovers and sloppy defensive play led to a 6-3 Bentley defeat. The Falcons showed all-around good play in the first half of the first period until Sacred Heart freshman forward Zach Sabatini broke the silence, scoring off a bang-bang passing play at 4:45. Down 1-0 late in the first period, the Falcons were looking to even the score after going on the power play, but the man-advantage took a turn for the worse, when a neutral-ice zone turnover led to a shorthanded breakaway goal for sophomore Justin Danforth with just 42 seconds to go.

The second period saw no improvement for the Falcons, as the Pioneers lit the lamp three more times within the opening six minutes. Starting junior goalie Gabe Antoni was

pulled early in the second after letting up four goals, including a shot that rang off the crossbar, only to find the back of the net seconds later after being redirected off his right leg pad as he was trying to cover the puck.

“We decided to pull Gabe to help swing the momentum in the game. It was not his play, but our team just needed to try to get a spark,” said Head Coach Ryan Soderquist regarding his decision to pull Antoni.

Soderquist called timeout after Sacred Heart took a commanding 4-0 lead, but another goal from the Pioneers’ relentless offensive pressure brought the Falcons to a debilitating 5-0 deficit just moments later. The Falcons did show some life, however, as the team pulled to within three by the end of the second. Two power play goals for junior Andrew Gladiuk and the first career goal for New Jersey native Vincent Russo gave Bentley hope as they headed into the third period.

Bentley did not get the results they wanted in the final twenty minutes of play, as Sacred Heart’s brick-wall defense, led by red-shirt goalie Alex Vazzano, who denied any additional goals from a hungry Bentley offense. Despite numerous opportunities, the Falcons could not seem to break through, as Vazzano gave a stone-cold third period performance, stopping ten shots in the third, and an overall 31 of 34 total faced shots. The latter half of the final period became a scrappy dogfight, in which Bentley’s brutal physicality hammered down on Sacred Heart, yet could not convert into the goals they needed. Bentley’s heavy net presence after every shot from the point led to consistent after-the-whistle

action, ultimately culminating in a 10-minute misconduct, a game misconduct and a match disqualification for three different Bentley players, the last of which will result in a one-game suspension for senior assistant captain Alex Kubiak.

“Playing physical and taking bad penalties are two different things,” Soderquist said. “For 55 minutes we played physical and created plenty of scoring chances, but I was not happy with the last five minutes of play and you won’t see that from our team again.”

The Bentley fan-base left the JAR Saturday night disappointed in the team’s performance, yet optimistic about the team’s future. The Falcons will return to the JAR on November 7th when they take on the Niagara University Purple Eagles in a back-to-back matchup on Friday and Saturday night.

Soderquist talked about his team’s position thus far three games into the season, stating, “We are working to get better every day.” He further explained, “We don’t look at our record in terms of wins and losses this early in the season, but want to maintain focus on the process.”

Following Saturday night’s loss, Grieve said, “The season is still young and we have many things to work on.” He added, “We have several aspects that we need to improve on if we want to win every night.”

The Falcons finish up the month of October on the road for the next four games, where they will take on the last place RIT Tigers twice as well as two out-of-conference matchups against the Penn State Nittany Lions.

As Bentley looks to the future, Soderquist said, “We know that all areas of our game have room for improvement in October.”

After helping her team to a 3-0 week, including a stunning 3-2 victory at New Haven, senior middle blocker Savannah Dominguez (Miami, Fla./Palmer Trinity HS) has been named the Falcon of the Week. She was also recognized as the Northeast-10 Conference Molten Volleyball Player of the Week.

Dominguez averaged 2.77 kills, 1.0 blocks, 0.85 digs and 3.73 points while hitting .279 as Bentley improved to 12-7 overall and 7-2 in the NE-10. She hit .393 with a season-high 15 kills and also shined defensively (four blocks, six assists) as the Falcons ended New Haven’s 94-match regular season NE-10 winning streak on Saturday. Earlier in the week, she had a dozen kills against AIC and seven blocks against Southern New Hampshire.

Dominguez, a first-team All-Northeast-10 selection in 2013 who was slowed by injury during the opening weeks this season, has returned to form in recent weeks. Over the team’s last ten matches, she’s averaged 2.21 kills and one block while helping the Falcons post a 7-3 record over that stretch.

142Senior Jet Kollie (Lowell) had 142 punt return yards

and 229 all-purpose running yards during Saturday’s 38-7 win at Southern Connecticut. The 142 punt return yards was the most by a Division II player this season and just 10 yards shy of the school record.
