Quad Jam celebrated its 30th Anniversary on April 24, 2010. Manhattanville’s largest tradition provided the usual: food, fun, games, and music. During the day, students showcased their talents whether it was with their bands, their dance teams, or an instrument. If you weren’t a performer you were not left out. Alumni and current undergraduates alike, came together and partook in various games and activities such as rock-climbing, a food-eating contest, moon-bouncing, and just simply enjoying the beautiful day out on Manhattanville’s signature Quad. After a long day of fun, students enjoyed a BBQ out on the Quad while dancing to their favorite music and patiently awaiting the main event. This year there were two headliners prepared to perform. Both rapper Fabolous and ska punk band Reel Big Fish, took over the stage with amazing performances. During an interview with the lead singer of Reel Big Fish Aaron Asher Barrett, when asked what’s the first thing that goes through his mind when he gets on stage, “oh my gosh my mic stand is too high,” he replied laughingly. Being apart of the band since it came into existence in 1991, Barrett explained as long as the crowd is pumped, there is no reason to be nervous, “we just go out there and do what we love to do,” he said. That’s exactly what the headliners did. Reel Big Fish after they performed their set, came back out by popular demand with an encore performance. The fun didn’t stop there. After the two big concerts, and the half an hour fireworks display students topped off the night with an after party held in the cafeteria. With such an amazing event filled with fun, friends, and food, we all can hold these memories in our hearts and minds, and use them as a reminder of what a great school Manhattanville College truly is.

Dear Manhattanville Students, Faculty, and Staff,

First and foremost, I would like to extend my prayers on behalf of the Right World View members and myself, to all those in grieving due to the recent lost that we experienced in our Manhattanville community. At such a fragile time, it is important that we remain united as we move ahead.

Secondly, I would like to applaud Director Ruthie Trovato and the entire production of The Vagina Monologues for a job well done. For those who were unable to attend, you truly missed out on a groundbreaking performance!

As we come out with our ninth issue, we are still continuing to work hard to perfect Right World View. Please note, that we are still in the process of transforming our Mission Statement in order to coincide with the path that Right World View is on. Stay tuned!

We have all had those moments where there is just not enough time in the day. Finding a healthy balance between work life and social life seems like a foreign idea. Between the classes, homework, and jobs, maintaining a healthy social life can be very difficult. The key to balancing the events of your life is ORGANIZATION.

When your work and school life is in disarray, functioning efficiently is very unlikely. Through organization, you are able to sort through and prioritize what needs to be done by the date it’s due. A good method is by creating a to-do list or by using a planner. These tools are good ways to have everything written down and stored on paper, where it is less likely to be forgotten while also freeing up some room in the mind. As you cross out each completed task, it becomes a motivation to complete the entire list. By putting a dent in your work schedule, this automatically frees up time for your social life. However, it is important to remember, the opportunity to socialize will always be there, but the opportunity to impress your boss or professors may not! Therefore, you must be willing to skip a party once in a while. As more people strive for college degrees, and jobs become scarcer, only the best of the best will make it. This reality should kick in when you are deciding between going to a party or studying for a test that you have the next day.
