Wilson Takes LEAD’s Partnership

By Sarah Martin

“Wilson formed a partnership with Letterkenny?” That question, given by several Wilson students, is the answer I received when I asked them their opinions on the new educational partnership between Wilson College and Letterkenny Army Depot. On Mon, Feb. 25 a press conference, held in the Patterson Lounge, resulted in the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between Colonel Steven A. Shapiro, of Letterkenny Army Depot, and Dr. Lorna Duphiney Edmundson, of Wilson College. The Memorandum of Agreement is for an educational partnership. This means that Wilson College will use Building 102 in Letterkenny to hold classes for Letterkenny employees.

Building 102 will be renovated into a state-ofthe-art educational facility through a $400,000 grant from state Senator Terry Punt. The renovations conclude on April 1, 2008 and the first classes are planned for Summer Session I in May. The building will house 25 students, adjoining office space, and restrooms. Business, management, computer science, and foundation classes, such as Math and English classes, will be among the first classes offered at Letterkenny. Mary Hendrickson estimates there will be about three or four classes held at

Letterkenny per semester. Held during the evening and maybe the weekends the classes would be taught by Wilson professors.

One of these professors that may teach at Letterkenny is Adjunct Professor of English and Mass Communications, Felicia Lanning Shearer. Shearer says she is, “extremely excited to be a part of this awesome venture” that she feels is “an incredible opportunity for both groups as well as for the future development of Franklin County.”

On Feb. 27, a new exhibition opened in the Bogigian Gallery—Glimpses of the Garden: Allegories of Faith and Love, by Wilson Associate Professor of Fine Arts, Philip Lindsey.

Prior to the opening, in order to commemorate the new exhibition, a gallery talk was given by Lindsey during the opening ceremony in Lortz Hall. In front of many guests including his family, his close friends, Wilson students, and faculty members, Lindsey presented his new work in a PowerPoint presentation along with other pieces which influenced his sabbatical work.

Lindsey also discussed the reason he decided to take on the project and the meaning of these pieces in his life.

Lindsey continued to work in his Wilson studio on a series of portraits, figure paintings and landscapes while on sabbatical. Concerning himself primarily with complex portraiture, allegory and metaphor, he has woven biblical, mythological, legendary and contemporary themes into this exhibit.

Images of family and friends, as well as those of the region where he grew up, are currently on display. Italian art of the Renaissance and Baroque periods

affect his work considerably in addition to the influences of Tintoretto, Caravaggio and Titian. Lindsey employs indirect painting techniques to create his latest paintings. Large scale oil paintings such as “Jenifer as Saint Zita” and “Lauran with Pear,” which are portraits of his wife and daughter, represent his faith and love toward them through the use of symbolism.

Admission is open to public. The Bogigian Gallery is open from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. Admission is free. The exhibit, which is supported by Wilson’s Department of Fine Arts and Dance, will continue through Mar. 26.

For additional information or appointment, contact Philip Lindsey at (717) 264-4141

EDITORIAL

Frick and Frack…What the cluck??

I recently read a story in the Chambersburg Public Opinion that pretty much boggled my mind. The story comes from Dauphin County, PA, where a self-professed street preacher (religion unknown) and his wife are trying to have a Sheetz billboard taken down for what they deem as “offensive language.” The slogan? “Try Sheetz Crispy Fricken’ Chicken.”

The preacher, Michael Sucec, claims that the Sheetz billboard promotes fornication through the use of the word “fricken.” I personally think that his claim is ridiculous…not to mention a waste of time.

I mean, I use the same word around my daughters everyday when trying to police my unfortunate ingrained tendency toward the “F” bomb. Actually, I use all sorts of words (usually related to food…go figure) in place of colorful metaphors—fudge, swiss cheese, nuts, and yes—fricken’. Innocuous words, yet when I say them they mean the exact same thing as their socially unacceptable counterparts.

So I ask you…what exactly is the difference? What renders a word an offensive expletive? I mean, there are a number of words in the English language that have innocent meanings yet are used in ways they were never intended in order to describe completely unrelated things.

One of my favorite authors and commentators on the English language, Bill Bryson, states in his treatise The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got That Way that “the gravity of swear words in any language has little to do with the words themselves and much more to do with the fact that they are forbidden.” Bryson goes on to say, “Forbidden words are emotive because they are forbidden, and they are forbidden because they are emotive.”

Well, when I blurt out “Fudge!” while tripping over my children’s toys, I’m not being any less emotive than if I had said the other word. Ponder that one for a moment.

I don’t know. Maybe I’m just thinking through this way too much. But I am curious to see the results of Sucec’s fight. According to Dauphin County supervisors, only two others besides Sucec have complained about the use of “fricken’” in the Sheetz ad. A few others around the country have also voiced their concerns.

As for me, I think their time would be better spent railing against the partial nudity and sexualization that is so blatantly displayed in every form of media today...even in children’s ads. Or better yet, policing the number of ad slogans that use poor grammar and spelling. Yes, I’m referring to Chik-fil-A’s “Eat Mor Chikin!” (And their website is no better…trust me!)

As for Sheetz’ “Crispy Fricken’ Chicken?” I think it’s a clever slogan that describes their sandwich to a T—especially with lettuce, tomato, mayo, onions, and of course SWISS CHEESE! Bon Appétit!

It’s All in the Color of the Dink

by Sarah Martin

Every Wilson Woman who has been dinked cherishes the memory. But where did the colors of the dinks—our class colors—come from? Were they always red and black, or blue and green? After careful research, I found the answer to this question.

Around 1920, Wilson began grouping classes into the odd or even years of their graduation date— hence, Evens and Odds. Before this time, Odds and Evens were known as Defenders and Invicibles.

These were the team names for basketball and field hockey games that were played on Thanksgiving between the freshmen and the sophomore classes in 1903. In 1905, this changed to Seniors and Sophomores/Juniors and Freshmen.

Why is this important for colors of the classes? About the same time that the Odds/Evens rivalry came about, the Odd colors of Red and Black started to take hold and were repeated year to year. The Even colors of blue and green were not as prominent. Blue and White, or Green and White, were most often chosen. Before 1920, each individual class had their own colors that were handed to them as freshmen by the senior class in a tradition that is no longer around—the Color Ceremony.

Why are our colors so important? Our colors symbolize not the good-natured rivalry between classes, but also the classes as being a unified whole. With the passing down of colors to each new generation, the old and new generations are forever embedded into Wilson history.

Students interested in learning more about Wilson College traditions or investigating the history of the class colors are encouraged to visit the Hankey Center during regular operating hours or by appointment.

{Letters to the Editor} I meant to send this in for Black History Month, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had the chance. Words are all that I have to offer, so I thought maybe if I shared this with the school, I might actually for once touch someone, or open “some people’s” eyes.... This poem is meant to tell every race of people: Don’t Ever Believe... in nonsense.

Some People I come from a race of people who’ve stood strong through so much. For too long being beaten, raped, lynched, and so many vile actions people can’t really understand. And as I’ve looked at man through naive eyes, I continuously realize that the idea of race will ALWAYS be alive. See the thing about my life that people don’t recognize is that I’ve lived in a place so sheltered, so...full of lies.

Yet these lies weren’t intended to hurt my innocent eyes. But never in my life I have ever felt so degraded, so thrown to the wolves and left with the hopes that I wouldn’t survive...Nigger...That’s what I am...And what I’ll always be in “some people’s” eyes.

God must have made me a ‘nigger’ for a reason, because when I look at my heritage of people, all us ‘niggers’ are still out here persevering. See we’ve been through centuries of slavery, so it shouldn’t be amazing that “some people” still believe in the ‘concentration’ of races. I mean look at our nation. For all this time “some people” been hatin’ on different races: Jewish, Hispanic, Native, African American and Arab...And it’s not fair ‘cause that’s what we continue to teach the younger generations, and instead of fighting temptations and walking away from racism...”Some people” enjoy basking in the humiliation of races.

But that’s okay...I’ll be that...I’ll be a nigga cause I LOVE being black. “I’ll say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud” I’m proud to come from a nationality of ethnic background: Booker T Washington, Emit Teal, Malcolm X, Dr. King, Rosa Parks, and so many other names I can’t pull from my mind. So I’ll take the blame...I’ll play the game, but it’s a shame after all these years...all the fight...all this time...”some people” still believe...And that’s the reason racism is alive.

Model U.N. 2008 Spring Conference: An Interview with Professor Dixon Cooper

by Su Yeon Jo

What is the purpose of the Model U.N., and what will students ultimately learn through the program?

The National Model United Nations Conference (NMUN) is being held this year in New York City over spring break. The NMUN program has grown so dramatically that it has been divided into two sessions, and an international conference will be held next year in China. The New York City conference that Wilson will attend will have approximately 4,000 students from institutions in the United States and other countries.

What will students experience by participating in the program?

The 16 Wilson College students who are attending will serve as delegates to several different committees for their chosen countries. Each committee will have two delegates representing it. This year, Wilson students are representing two countries—Uzbekistan and Papua New Guinea.

How do students prepare for the program?

To prepare for the conference, each delegate has been extensively researching three topics assigned to their committee. When students arrive in New York City, the committees will meet with the goal of addressing the three topics and writing resolutions that propose some type of collective action by the NMUN. Typical topics include gender equality, health issues, alternative energy, economic development, religious issues, and nuclear disarmament, along with a myriad of other issues.

What is the schedule of the program this spring, and how much will it cost?

While they are in New York City, the students will have a little free time to see the city and be typical tourists, but they will also work quite hard

Cost of Hay Mounts for Wilson Equestrians

by Heather Dunkin

Wilson College equine owners are increasingly anxious when it comes to feeding their horses this winter because quality hay is harder to find and more expensive.

Due to increasingly higher fuel costs, prolonged droughts, and farms growing more corn to capitalize on ethanol, the amount of hay produced is not sufficiently serving the area. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, current conditions make hay prices the highest they have ever been and growers who normally sell their hay save it for their own use.

Hay is plentiful in some parts of the country but the high cost of fuel makes hay transport from one part of the country to another expensive. If hay dealers don’t grow it, they go to hay auctions and buy up everything they can find. They pay a premium for hay that is often minimal in nutrients and less palatable for horses.

Ellen Schroyer, the barn manager of the Wilson College Penn Hall Equestrian Center, says that she now pays $250 to $300 a ton for hay. Last year she paid between $140 and $180. The barn has started buying round bales for the paddocks, which are less expensive to bundle.

“Handling the bails is more expensive and we have had to buy attachments for the tractor, along with hay feeders for the paddocks,” Schroyer said. “The money just snowballs.” Schroyer also said that the school received more donated horses because people cannot afford to keep them through the winter.

The school received only two donations last year compared to nine this year.

when their committees are in session. One of the highlights of the formal activities will be the opportunity to attend the opening and closing ceremonies at the United Nations General Hall.

The cost of the program for each student is $325, which includes hotel charges for seven nights, transportation to New York City, and registration fees. Since the costs will be significantly greater than $325, the college has graciously helped cover the expenses. Also, the Wilson College Student Government provided funding for the Model United Nations club last fall, and this allowed twenty-two Wilson students to attend the regional NMUN Conference in Washington D.C. last November. In addition, the college was one of eight domestic and international institutions that received a Hayden Grant from the NMUN Board to help cover costs.

For more information regarding the Model U.N., visit http://www.nmun. org/ and http://www.osgoodcenter.org/. Any student interested in joining the Wilson College chapter may contact Model U.N. Advisor Professor Dixon Cooper at dcooper@wilson.edu.

Students are also affected by the hay prices, and boarders are charged a $200 hay surcharge. If the situation continues to worsen, student Risa Saar says that the equestrian center needs to do their homework. “They [the equestrian center] need to research more and see their options,” Saar said. By going out early and trying to find the best hay they can, Saar hopes that prices will not keep increasing.

Senior Katie Douglas even considers changing her mind about buying an ethanol hybrid car. “It would be a catch-22 if I bought a car reliant on ethanol because more and more farmers are growing less hay to grow corn for ethanol,” Douglas “ Sea” munches on some hay. explained. “That’s less hay for Photo by Jessica Bernard my horse.”

Hankey Exhibit Reflects Civil Rights Success at Wilson

by Danyelle Reid

In celebration of Black History and Women’s History month, the C. Elizabeth Boyd 33’ archives commemorated the opening of its latest exhibit titled “At the Intersection of Race and Gender: African American Women at Wilson.” This enlightening and educational exhibit examines the lives of African American alumnae and faculty members, their struggles during the Civil Rights era, their various accomplishments and involvement throughout the campus.

Wilson began admitting African American students in the early 1950s. The first African American to attend Wilson was Nan Miller of Washington D.C. Miller enrolled at Wilson in 1952 and departed at the end of her sophomore year.

The new exhibit presents various forms of evidence for student protests against race discrimination. Many African American students at Wilson advocated for equal rights within the community as well as on a broader spectrum. In one incident, a local Chambersburg restaurant treated two African American students unfairly due to the color their skin. The restaurant’s owner conveyed that he would not serve these students not because of his personal beliefs, but for the best interest of his business. Following this incident, WCGA president Lynn Negus 61’ wrote a letter to the student body and the local newspaper, expressing students’ feelings of disapproval of the incident.

Campus organizations such as the Wilson Afro American Society (WAAS) fought for equality throughout the Wilson community. According to the 69’70’ Blue Book, the WAAS “encouraged greater discussion, thought of the problems and goals of black culture, and recognized solutions benefiting the

college community.”

Frieda Greer ‘62, one of Wilson’s first African American faculty members and WAAS advisor, graduated from the college with a B.A. in American Civilization. From 1968 to 1970, Greer taught in the Sociology department and, in addition to other faculty members, supported WAAS proposals to increase the recruitment of African American students and faculty, as well as the addition of courses pertaining to African American history and experiences. In an effort to gain attention to their ideas, WAAS organized a successful and peaceful boycott of classes for a day. WAAS gained a vast amount of support from the Wilson community.

Wilson Archivist Wanda Finney feels that it was necessary to bring this exhibit together. Finney stated, “The history of African American women at Wilson reflects their historical experience in the nation. The issues surrounding race relations, as they pertained to African American women, affected the College too, and some of these issues I believe are still with us. This exhibit shows how far we have come, at Wilson, in meeting some of the challenges posed by race in America and what we still need to improve.”

For more information about the exhibit, please contact Wanda Finney at wfinney@wilson.edu. The C. Elizabeth Boyd ’33 Archives exhibit will be on display at the Hankey Center until May 18.

Wilson Rallies for Billboard

by Selena Crust

During the week of Feb. 13, a questionnaire about the role of the Wilson Billboard was randomly distributed to students asking how important the Billboard was to them and if they had a printing color preference.

Of the 47 responses received, 35 students read the Billboard. Of these 35 students, 17 felt that the Billboard should be printed in black and white, especially if it would produce the paper more often--at least every two weeks.

The main issue this spring has been Billboard’s potential financial crisis. This crisis resulted partly from the cost of printing in color, which is more expensive than printing in black and white. According to Post Office Supervisor Lisa Kinley, who manages the campus print facility, printing 250 issues in color costs $600, whereas printing in black and white would only cost $60.

During the most recent WCGA meeting on Feb. 26, the Billboard received a generous apportionment, which raises their spring apportionment budget to slightly over $5000.

Currently, the Billboard will continue to print in color.

Editor-in-chief Kimberly MaskeMertz has received many comments from faculty, staff, and students about how much they enjoy the Billboard in color. When asked her opinion about color versus black and white, Maske-Mertz stated, “It looks great and represents Billboard’s move into the twenty-first century.

The days of purely black and white newsprint are slowly fading away.”

Many students can benefit from the Billboard, both as a class and a club. As Maske-Mertz stated, “It teaches students of all majors important communication skills, responsibility, accountability, and how to work together as a team…in addition it serves as a powerful voice to the community that represents the integrity and knowledge of our students.”

{Counselor’s Couch} Start Listening to Your Inner You

by Kathryn Brooks

The theme for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, which ran from February 25 to 29, was “Be comfortable in your genes. Wear jeans that fit the TRUE you.” The idea was for all of us to accept our natural size and shape, wearing jeans that we’re comfortable in rather than trying to fit into a pair of “skinny jeans.”

I love the message of listening to our bodies, whether we’re talking about a pair of jeans, a relationship, a job, or any choice in life. It’s often on a subtle level of a bodily “felt sense” that we know if something is comfortable or uncomfortable, feels right or wrong, creates more peace or conflict in our lives, leads in a healthy direction or not, and so on.

How often do you ignore that still, small voice inside? More importantly, have you noticed what happens when you override it, and instead try to force yourself or a situation to “fit” or to be something other than what it is? Often, it’s like swimming upstream. The effort to make any headway consumes so much energy that you end up feeling depleted and frustrated with yourself, the situation,

or both. You may find that “the harder you try the more behind you get,” so to speak. That still small voice may begin to protest more loudly. If you’re a determined soul, it might not occur to you to change direction.

There’s a saying in twelve-step recovery programs that “insanity” is continuing to do the same thing but expecting different results. Somehow that deceptively simple notion can be so hard to put into practice, either because we’re not aware we’re repeating a mistake or because we instinctively resist change. Change usually means letting go of something, whether it’s a pair of jeans or something else that just doesn’t fit anymore. While holding on to old jeans, or life circumstances, we forget that something better may be in store for us, just awaiting our courage to be open to it.

So the next time you find yourself swimming upstream, instead of cursing the stream or your poor swimming ability, try changing direction.

Dare to let go of the old stuff you’ve outgrown or is no longer serving you. Go with the flow, working with rather than against your true self and honoring your body’s wisdom about what is best for you.

Wilson Enviromental Club Presents:

{Mean To Be Green} Join Our Scene

by Satoko Unno

This semester, The Fulton Farm springs to life. As a successor to Mary Cottone, who left at the end of last semester, newly hired Eric Benner begins the 2008 season in early March. Benner hopes more students will join him during his first season to learn about organic farming and tasty, healthful crops fresh from the farm.

Lamenting Americans’ preferences for eating packaged foods containing many chemicals, Benner says, “I’d like students to know to eat food, not ‘food-like substances’ as a food journalist Michael Pollan said.”

After finishing an apprenticeship at Peacework Organic Farm in New York, Benner came to Fulton Farm in January. Completely pesticide-free, the sevenacre farm produces vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs.

Benner also pointed out the educational aspects of the Fulton Farm, saying, “Fulton Farm is a sophisticated craft. I like ideas of solar greenhouses, composting using food waste from the college dining hall, and Biodiesel fuel.”

Biodiesel fuel is a renewable alternative to diesel fuel, made from vegetable oil through a simple chemical process.

Through the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, Fulton Farm connects farmers and the CSA members living in the Chambersburg area. Provided with naturally grown fresh food weekly throughout the growing season, over 125 families enjoy working on the farm, picking extra crops, walking the gardens, and joining farm events.

As a CSA member and a volunteer farmer, Alice Elia prefers having more students working with her. “Fulton Farm is close to our community and sup-

porting each other through fresh natural products. Students become a part of our town by working with us on the farm.”

“Working on the farm is a perfect job for an outside person like me,” said Heather Wacome, a junior VMT major who has three years of work-study experience on the farm. “It’s a good exercise, especially chasing chickens to catch when we move their cage.”

Wacome explains meeting CSA members is another enjoyment. “By talking with them about my studies, their daily lives, or organic foods, I’ve gotten to know community members. I think it is important for our students. We can be proud of our farm without using pesticide and chemicals.”

Fulton Farm needs more students to share outdoor exercise, enjoyable talk, and healthful food. To apply for work-study or to volunteer, contact Eric Benner at 709-1995.

Endeavor to Make Special Delivery

by Kimberly Maske-Mertz

The Space Shuttle Endeavor will lift off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center on Mar. 11 at 2:28am EDT en route to the International Space Station (ISS).

Endeavor’s crew—Commander Dominic Gorie; Pilot Gregory H. Johnson; Mission Specialists Robert L. Behnken, Mike Foreman, Rick Linnehan, and Garrett Reisman; and Japanese astronaut Takao Doi—were given a ‘go’ for launch after an evaluation of the shuttle and its payload deemed them flight ready.

The second of six missions scheduled for this year, Endeavor will deliver Canada’s two-armed robotic Dextre system as well as Japan’s Kibo laboratory for installation on the station. The Kibo lab—named for the Japanese word for “hope”—is the first Japanese module to be added to the station, which has been under construction since 1998.

Mission Specialist Garrett Reisman will stay behind on the station as part of the ISS crew, replacing European Space Agency astronaut Leopold Eyharts (France) who will return to Earth onboard Endeavor.

After a series of technical setbacks in 2007, NASA hopes to complete the ISS next year before the scheduled retirement of the aging Space Shuttle fleet in 2010. The next shuttle mission to the station on board Discovery is slated for Apr. 17.

For more information about this and other Space Shuttle missions, please visit http://www.nasa.gov or tune in to view the launch on NASA-TV. 7

{A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENT}

Email Chokehold Suffocates Freedom

by Jessica Klein-Carnes

Due to an increase in the amount of email within the Wilson Community, new guidelines have been set in place. This change, which affects the entire Wilson community, is an effort to prevent problems with the email system.

But do some of these new guidelines infringe on the rights of, let’s say, a professor who now questions if the information they deem important should be sent in an all campus email? As a student, I fear I may miss an important event.

Advertisements, solicitations, donations, thoughts for the day, chain letters, and pyramid schemes are all things that Wilson prohibits in all-campus, allstudent, and all-faculty emails—for good reasons.

In addition, everyone should avoid using their Wilson email account for personal and/or business interests. If you send an email on your Wilson ac8

count, you are to imagine the Wilson College letterhead at the top of each email. That’s quite a tall order.

But what about students who can’t afford their own account or who live far away from home and have a lot of family members to talk to? What about a student who says something that is simply misinterpreted by the school and he or she receives wrongful punishment? Why shouldn’t students expect freedom with their email account when the students pay for the privilege?

Don’t get me wrong. I agree that this privilege shouldn’t be abused. The new guidelines disturb me simply because I feel threatened and uncomfortable with constantly monitoring what I say in my emails in the off chance I might offend someone.

{Postcard From The East}

English-Not My Cup of Tea Finding a Common Bond Shopping-American Style

by Xiaomeng Li (China)

by Dipa Gurung (Nepal)

by Suyeon Jo (South Korea)

Before I came to America, somebody told me: “In academic field, as an Asian, you should be confident.”

Actually in China, many people believe that American education is easy. We hold the opinion that China has the most competitive and strict education and that Chinese people are hardworking. Therefore, there is no doubt that we “must be better” among people of other countries. Perhaps it has something to do with ethnocentrism, but this is not the point I want to make.

Frankly speaking, I have never thought I can achieve a good grade easily in America although many people told me I can. The heaviest burden for me might be the tons of readings. As an international student from China – a country that treats English as a “foreign language”-not even the “second language”—I’ve probably spent twice the time to read the same article that American students can easily finish during their tea time. The thing is, I need to understand what is inside the article, not just skim all over it and say, “I’m done.” It takes a while to twist my stereotypical logic on some issue that I read and, more importantly, think in English.

Another problem is asking questions. In my case, it always takes great determination to go to a professor’s office after class. And the embarrassing feeling of asking some “easy” questions really makes me sad although there’s no clear definition of what is an “easy question”. In addition, the lack of vocabulary is a commonplace. Sometimes I cannot find the word I want to use, so I only use simple and even childish words to explain my feelings. However, this has always made me frustrated because I have the self-awareness or expectation that I understand it in a deeper extent but I cannot prove my ability to other people. One of my Korean friends has encountered the same situation. She told me that in her International Relationship class she knew the issues well and wanted to explain.

But the words that came from her mouth were like, “Country A is GOOD and Country B is BAD.” My purpose is to share some feelings in the academic field as an international student. Although it seems that I experience more frustration than happiness, I actually do feel excited to learn. And although I sometimes feel embarrassed to ask questions, when they are solved I will definitely be happy and satisfied. Everyday is a new day and everything will come to pass. The most important thing is to keep my feet on the ground and be my best self.

To truly know the Wilson community, one needs only to go to the dining hall during meal time to observe what it is like. Lunch is probably the best time as that is when most students come to eat in the midst of a busy day. Even though I have been here for only one semester, I have heard quite a few times how the Wilson community is divided—divided in the sense that they do not make much of an effort to “mix and mingle” at the dining hall. Outside the hall, I think it is better.

However, this is just my observation. Wilson makes a huge effort to get the community members to mix and mingle so that we can have opportunities to meet and interact with new people. I like the idea.

But why, if we are aware of this effort, do we flock to our particular tables at lunch or dinner?

It may sound cliché, but for me, the other international students have become my family. They were the first people I met when I arrived at the airport.

Because the international students’ orientation was three weeks before the freshman orientation, we had already formed a close bond.

Coming here, I had expected to meet mostly American friends. However, I got a better deal. Not only do I have some wonderful American friends, but also from all over the world—Korea, Uzbekistan, Ethiopia, China, Spain, France, Japan, Sri Lanka and more. I love learning everything about their fascinating cultures.

The nagging voice in my head still tells me that I should try to mingle more. But after a long, tiring day of studying, running from one class to another, and pushing through the heavy doors of Warfield, I realized when I arrive at “my” table I am suddenly re-energized. It is a time for laughter, to catch up with each other about our day, and to develop a liking for mac-and-cheese…together.

I really enjoy shopping as much as most ordinary women who are interested in trend. Actually, I love shopping so much I usually joke that I came here (USA) for shopping even though I came to Wilson to study English.

I expected all Americans to be kind of extravagant. This is because when I was in Korea, I saw a lot of American dramas and Hollywood movies.

For example, when I watched Sex and the City in Korea, I thought that every American lived like Carrie, the main character of the drama. In addition, American media is most likely to emphasize celebrities’splendid life with luxurious things.

I have seen Hollywood stars’ fashion and their life through the Internet, magazines, TV, and movies. Now we (Koreans) struggle to imitate what we have seen in the media, buying what they wore and what they had. Some Koreans who are really interested in fashion even order American brands’ clothes and other items from America. I think American media generates an illusion about America, creating a crazy shopping culture that includes days such as “Black Friday” and “Cyber Sunday.”

On the other hand, after I came to the United States, I was really surprised that there are a lot of thrift shops like Good Will that many Americans are willing to shop at. When I went to a thrift shop for the first time in downtown Chambersburg, I was impressed at the many useful and cheap items.

Plus, it is also a form of recycling and sharing among many people. Today, I dropped by one thrift shop and I bought a fabulous dress for only $2.

I now think that all people in the world should pay attention to Americans who buy vintage items in thrift shops, and not on Hollywood stars who spend thousands of dollars for buying designer shoes.

Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people.

Let your memory be your travel bag.

With the ending of a season on Feb. 24, four very skilled seniors from the Phoenix squad scored their last points in their Wilson College basketball careers during the home game against Cazenovia College.

The following are exclusive interviews of the four Phoenix seniors, bringing fans some of their final thoughts and memories of their four years at Wilson College.

Sarah Engelsman, (aka “Coudy”) Major: VMT Sports: Soccer, Basketball, and Softball Plans after graduation: Work at a Vet Clinic near Harrisburg and Umpire Softball on the side.

What I will miss: Being able to see my friends everyday.

I’ll always remember: The best times were the bus rides and none will forget the time I pinched my fat in the lunch cooler. Good times!!!

To my team/coach/fans: Thank you to all the fans that supported us, and good luck to those sports that are starting/finishing their seasons.

Dana Bennett Major: Mathematics, Secondary Education Sports: Soccer and Basketball Plans after graduation: I plan to teach math at the secondary level.

What I will miss: My team and the girls who I have grown to call family.

I’ll always remember: Well, the thing I will remember most is the day that coach said, “DUCK!!!”

To my team/coach/fans: Thanks for all of your support. It has been amazing playing with all of your support and confidence.

Mary Miller Major: Exercise and Sports Science 10

Sports: Soccer, Basketball, and Tennis Plans after graduation: I am looking at going into the military or grad school…not sure which one first.

What will I miss: I will miss stepping out on that court everyday with some of the greatest teammates, and the great coaches that pushed me to get better every year.

I’ll always remember: I will never remember the scores of a game or who scored the most points, but I will always remember that every time we stepped out there on the court we laid every thing on the line and played with a lot of heart.

To my team/coach/fans: Thank you to all the fans for all the support they gave us as a team. To my coaches, thank you for everything and inspiring me to not just be a better athlete, but a better person. To my teammates, thank you for all the great times on and off the court. Good luck in everything you do!

Logan Gonella Major: VMT Sports: Basketball and Soccer Plans after graduation: I’m going to find a place to live and then work at a vet clinic near my house.

What I will miss: Everyone! I will miss my teammates and coaches and the unity that we have shared. We’ve had our good times and hard times, but we have always stuck together.

I’ll always remember: California our freshmen year, when coach freaked out when the statue we were taking a picture with moved. I will never forget our final practice …just being able to run around’ play football, and act crazy with one another was great and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to end.

To my team/coach/fans: Thank you for all the support that you have given us throughout every season, every loss and every win. We share it together.

Wilson Hires Perestock as Women’s Lacrosse Coach Upcoming

by Shelly Novak HOME Sports Events Wilson College recently hired Jennifer Perestock as head women’s lacrosse coach. Perestock started full-time at the beginning of March, coaching both the club lacrosse and tennis teams.

Perestock played four years as a starting center for Saint Vincent College where she received her B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Elementary Education. As lacrosse captain, she earned honors as a three-time most valuable player and received the Albert Deluca Award for best student-athlete.

She currently holds the school record for most consecutive draw controls in a season.

Perestock looks forward to the new position. “I expect there will be challenges, but I am passionate about women’s lacrosse and look forward to building a new program at an institution with a rich history.”

According to athletic director, Lori Frey, “We are pleased to have a coach with her experience to lead this program in its inaugural season.”

Tennis Elevated to Varsity Sport for Spring 2009

by Shelly Novak

Women’s tennis will be elevated from a club to a varsity sport in spring 2009. Tennis was shifted from varsity status to a club sport this semester after Wilson entered the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC), which schedules tennis contests in fall.

The conference plans to make tennis a spring sport next year, allowing the Wilson team to return to varsity status in 2009.

“We were not equipped to sponsor three sports in the fall and only one in the spring,” said Wilson College Athletic Director Lori Frey, adding that the college’s varsity field hockey and soccer teams compete in fall. “I believe this transition has allowed us the opportunity to position ourselves on a more competitive level.”

the Book and Movie Review

by Jessica Klein-Carnes

Busy now? Read Later!

Vantage Point: A Pathetic Point of View

I recently found some wonderful books available in the John Stewart Memorial Library that any student would benefit from reading. If you lack the time now because of a hefty school workload, I suggest you tuck this list away in a safe place and return to it when you have the time. You’ll definitely thank me later.

My first choice, Assault on Reason by Al Gore, provides the former Vice President’s view on the sad state of political affairs in our country. In the book, Gore states his opinion of the Iraq war. This is unquestionably a mustread for every concerned American.

The Greatest Story Ever Told, by Frank Rich, also addresses the war in Iraq. Rich questions the media’s involvement in creating a society geared toward war, and society’s lack of understanding as to the real reason America is in Iraq.

The next two books, I believe, exist in the same category.

Virginity Lost: An Intimate Portrait of First Sexual Experiences, by Laura Carpenter, I consider pertinent to any young woman who is considering taking that step. Also, if a young woman feels embarrassed to tell a friend about her first experience or doesn’t know what to expect the first time, she can use this book as a guide.

James Garbarino wrote the next book in this category, See Jane Hit. In the book, Garbino acknowledges that plenty of headway has been made in understanding male violence, but questions the rise of violence in the female gender.

My final selection, Overspent American: Why We Want What We Don’t Have by Juliet Schor, stands alone on my list. In it, Schor addresses issues pertaining to the strained finances most Americans face on a daily basis. I ask, why do you need a bigger TV or that cute purse to add to your collection of fifty?

Bear in mind that this is just a sampling of the wonderful selection of books the library has to offer. I wish everyone a safe and restful Spring Break.

Happy Reading!

I chose to see Vantage Point without knowing anything about the movie, hoping that I might be pleasantly surprised. The film surprised me alright, and in the worst possible way. Throughout the movie, all I could think about was how desperately our government wants American viewers to believe in its integrity. Unfortunately, Hollywood usually embarrasses itself every time they attempt to incite American patriotism.

The cast of Vantage Point includes Hollywood heavy-hitters such as William Hurt, Dennis Quaid, Sigourney Weaver and Forest Whitaker. Each plays his or her part very well, however it’s the movie itself that stinks.

The premise of the film is that the world’s super powers gather in Spain for a peace rally in which the powers-that-be declare they will work together to fight terrorism. A gun—controlled by a cell phone—shoots the U.S. President, who viewers learn is actually a body double of the actual President.

Soon after, the same cell phone ignites a bomb.

Sound like an all too familiar story?

A car chase between a traitor of the U.S. Government and an FBI agent (with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) lasts a good half hour, and the movie starts over every time the point of view changes. It’s an agonizing style to format a movie and, by the end, my friend and I just laughed.

Writer Barry Levy really embarrasses himself with some of the lines in the film. I suggest that potential viewers wait to rent the movie if they must see it. A good alternative would be The Kingdom or Rendition, which works to raise awareness about the struggles of the U.S. Government with terrorism.

With more intricate plots and stories that allow one to form his or her own opinion, both of these movies deserve a viewing.

Finally, I ask Hollywood to stop trying to make a quick buck off of American patriotism. It only succeeds in making Americans look desperate and fearful.

{I’m With the Band} A Blushing Well of Hope

by Rebecca Cheek

To call Blushing Well a “local band” is not necessarily fair. The six-member Chambersburg ensemble is, in fact, enjoyed in far more places than just their hometown. Their music has been heard around the world on radio stations in Norway, Germany, Brazil, Italy, and Yugoslavia—just to name a few.

Blushing Well is a band to watch in the coming months. With a sound similar to the industrial rock more popular in Europe, Blushing Well’s unique blend of organic and synthetic sounds is something you won’t want to miss.

Blushing Well says they wish to give hope in time of need and lead the listener on a journey.

The band’s name actually stems from the Biblical 12

Photo courtesy of Rebecca Cheek

story of a woman who meets Jesus at the well, found in John 4:4-26.

And the band is mainly a family affair. Guitarist and background vocalist Jeff Redding is the father of other guitarist Jared, bassist Jeremy, and lead vocalist Joshua. Joshua’s wife Heather plays the

keyboards. Drummer Andrew Pensinger is fondly referred to as “The Other Redding.”

Since the band’s founding a few years ago, Blushing Well has put out one demo and two full-length CDs—“Fragile Human,” and their most recent in 2006 called “This Flesh I’m In”—under the 800 Pound Family label. The band’s distinct sound and desire to reach people with their music has grabbed the attention of numerous magazines and festivals.

Locally the band has been lying low. However on Fri, Mar. 28 at 7:00pm, they will be performing at the reunion show of former local band Debello.

Currently, the band is preparing for a summer tour to the annual Cornerstone Festival in Illinois and the Memphis Music Festival in Tennessee.

Listeners can purchase the band’s CDs through their Myspace page, Indie Heaven, or by attending one of their concerts. You can also listen to one of their songs on www.myspace.com/blushingwell or www.blushingwell.net.

{WWC Column} With pride, from a mother’s heart

Jacquelyn and her daughter Cali Mae Photo by Jacquelyn Velancia

In a world that is fast paced with an array of endless responsibilities, it is reassuring to know that there exists a smaller world within the whole that will greet you with a smile and welcome you with a firm hand into the world of Wilson College.

Hello, my name is Jacquelyn Valencia and for the past two months my daughter Cali Mae and I have become a part of the Wilson ecosystem.

As it is known, ecosystems are the engagement of all living organisms in a set of relationships within an existing environment. This oneness discovered within the Wilson milieu is only one of the many attributes that allow me to love it here so much.

Wilson College offers a unique opportunity for all of its students. A smaller enrollment status allows for a more intimate connection with professors that will ultimately foster both the individual student and the class as a whole.

In a larger college or university, this is simply not so.

Enabled to be a “somebody” rather than an “anybody,” I am already enjoying the status of a Wilson student and loving the recognition that goes along with it.

More importantly, I am embracing the unique opportunity that Wilson College has offered me, as well as other single mothers who are ambitious enough to juggle motherhood and education as they strive to earn an Undergraduate degree, the traditional student way.

Living on campus with my daughter does not only nurture the mother-daughter relationship, but it also fosters the next most important relationship in a woman’s life: The bond of all women, uniting as one.

Behind the doors of Prentis Hall lies a tightly knit camaraderie of women. Many of the women may not know it, but I could see it from a distance as well as up close. In the short time that I have been here, I am beginning to feel more and more integral to the solidarity of the Women with Children Program.

For years I have looked upon a poem for inspiration in the midst of hard times. As it states, there are two types of women in this world: Strong women, and women of strength.

“A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey; but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.”- Anonymous Today I know that I am one of many women of strength here and Wilson is our journey. I know that I have come this far and I will keep going further, as many women on campus will do as well. I can’t even begin to imagine the fortitude that our souls and our minds—this spirit of womanhood—will harvest in one year from today. I can only begin to thank you for now.

Brontosaurus Egg Recipe courtesy of ARA Content (Makes 1 serving.)

Ingredients: 1 frozen waffle or bread slice 1 teaspoon cooking oil or butter 1 egg 1 tablespoon shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese Salsa, taco sauce or catsup, if you like Directions: Let the frozen waffle thaw for about five or six minutes. With a 2- to 3-inch diameter cookie cutter, cut out the center of the waffle. Or, set a drinking glass upside down on the waffle and cut out the center of the waffle by cutting around the glass with a small knife.

In a medium-sized omelet pan or skillet (about 6 to 8 inches) over medium heat, heat the oil or melt the butter. Sprinkle a few drops of water into the pan. If the drops “dance” and sizzle in the pan, it’s ready for cooking. Place the waffle and the cutout in the pan. Break the egg and slip it into the hole in the waffle. Immediately turn the heat down to low.

Let the waffle cook until the bottom is lightly browned, about three minutes. With a pancake turner, carefully turn over the cutout and the waffle with the egg inside.

Sprinkle the egg with the cheese. Cook until the egg white is completely set and firm and the egg yolk begins to thicken, about three to five minutes more. With a pancake turner, lift the cutout and the waffle with the egg inside onto a plate. Spoon salsa, taco sauce or catsup on top of the egg, if you like.

Nutrition information per serving using waffle and corn oil without optional topping: 233 calories, 14 g total fat, 221 mg cholesterol, 348 mg sodium, 116 mg potassium, 15 g carbohydrate, 11 g protein and 10 percent or more of the RDI for vitamins A and B12 , niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, calcium, iron and phosphorus TheWilsonBillboard March 6, 2008
