Hi all! What a wild semester it has been! It has been such a joy to see what we have published week after week…telling stories, giving voice to the voiceless, and sharing with the Manhattan College community the important happenings of the world around us. I won’t lie, I was nervous taking the reigns of this massive weekly project we call The Quadrangle. But it … Continue reading LETTER from The Editor
by CHRISTINE NAPPI, Staff Writer While having a night out with his friends, Martin Enright was instructed to only drink claret wine and lemonade. His track and cross-country coach, future hall-of-fame member George Eastment, told Martin and his teammates to do so in order to maintain a somewhat healthy well-being while still being able to have a fun night out. If it weren’t for his athletic … Continue reading Living Out My Legacy
by AUGUST KISSEL, Web Editor Prior to attending Manhattan College, I had no idea what a Lasallian was. My freshman year, I believed that Lasallians and Catholics were separate from each other and when I attended Mass I thought the only difference was that Lasallians just didn’t kneel during mass.

by Megan Dreher, Editor-in-Chief Empower and Exceed.

Back to School Bootcamp is no stranger to the Jasper Dancers, but this year felt different. Upon … Continue reading The Cost of A National Championship (and What It All Really Means)
by Haley Burnside, Senior Writer There is an issue that has grown in popularity on the internet in the past year. I almost did not notice, because it is an issue I have dealt with every day of my life since I was four years old. Recently, the world has starting talking about it. Because the vocabulary is so common in my daily life, I did … Continue reading Clearing Up the Insulin Issue
by TAYLOR BRETHAUER, Senior Writer This past Friday, I had the absolute honor of attending the Extra Special Prom. Think of this op-ed as sort of a review for the event– I will also let you know right off the bat that I would give it five out of five stars. The Manhattan College (and this country in general, really) has seen some hard times: strenuous political … Continue reading Extra Special Prom: The Event We So Badly Needed
by ROSE BRENNAN, A&E Editor On Sunday, March 31, The Quadrangle received an anonymous message which came out in opposition to the article “Knights of Columbus: Contradictory to MC’s Lasallian Mission,” which was published in print and online on Tuesday, March 5. The message was delivered in an interdepartmental delivery envelope, and contained a portion of the Catholic Catechism which detailed the Church’s social teaching on abortion. … Continue reading Knights of Columbus: Contradictory to MC’s Lasallian Mission (Part 2)
by HALEY BURNSIDE, Senior Writer Two weeks ago, I had the honor of attending an event on campus in which the esteemed Juliet Papa of 1010 WINS spoke to students involved with news reporting, radio, and social media. In the hour-long conversation she had with us, each sentence seemed chock-full of information and advice that could help us in our future careers. As the event went … Continue reading Juliet Papa: A Woman’s History Month Icon
