Who are the men and women who serve our country?
Experience Canada!
by Danielle Gentry
Studying abroad is usually considered to be expensive and contributes to the loss of precious class time on campus. But that is not the case for this Wilson troop! Last June, a group of students, professors, and their children travelled to Montreal for three weeks of classes and extraordinary experiences in the culture of Canada. The subjects included art, literature, and women’s studies. Yet all revolved around one

After training for a few months, they will leave for the Middle East. Ron has one of those smiling faces that anyone who meets him will remember. He is always willing to give someone a friendly smile, a hint at some joke he will not let you in on. The first time I saw this smile
was on my first day of work study at the Physical Plant. I remembered asking myself “What did I miss?” Even though he is hard working and finishes any task set before him, he always finds time to crack a joke or pull a prank on some unsuspecting victim. Besides this grin, people always notice his friendly demeanor. His warm greetings can always be heard
topic: women’s issues in a Canadian context. “It was the first time they did the program so we didn’t really know what to expect,” says Kayla Chagnon, “but I think it turned out really well because we were doing three different classes and we integrated them all into one thing.” Professors Bob Dickson, Melanie Gregg, and Julie Raulli participated in creating and teaching the courses for the trip. “It was a seminar-style course, so you had three fac-
ulty and nine students,” says Professor Raulli. “The classroom experiences were some of the best that I’ve had.” This trip included students from the women with children program, such as Keshie Mansouri and her daughter, Vanessa. “My favorite museum was the Musée Des Beaux Arts because they had sculptures by Greek artists that were just amazing,” says Mansouri. “And my daughter got to experience that with me. When she goes to school she says ‘This is how I spent my summer vacation.’” While students and professors were busy with class,
As well as being a hardworking, funny groundskeeper, Ron is a father of two beautiful daughters and a caring husband to a wonderful wife.

Editorial-Opinion
Letters to the Editor Sustainability Rubs Dear Editor, off on Students
I recently read a 1939 anti-war novel by Dalton Trumbo called Jonny Got His Gun. Trumbo bravely portrays a man who, in WWI, got caught in the mess of a bomb that failed to kill him, but destroyed all of his limbs and the flesh on his face. Trumbo relates the journey into a man’s mind that lives in a hospital and can’t speak or hear, but can THINK. He figures out how to tell time, and tries to communicate to the nurses and doctors around him using Morris code by banging his head against his pillow. Finally, when everyone understands, the man pleads with officials to let him outside to feel fresh air. The officials spell on his chest in big letters, “It’s against regulation.” The man understands that if boys going to fight for their country see him, they might change their minds. So he resigns himself to life in an institution, to not conflict with the propaganda the Government churned out about the necessary evils of war. Nothing has changed where war is concerned. Men and women lose their limbs everyday in Iraq. I never hear in the mainstream news how many men and women experience this on a given day. In fact, I know not one man or woman in Chambersburg who lost their limbs as a result of the war in Iraq. I have a friend whose daughter works for the government. Her superiors ordered her to go to a dinner in Washington DC to honor the those who lost their limbsin the war. The event was not publicized and no one knew it happened except them. It seems more politically correct to die for your country, rather than lose a limb and try to live as productive of a life as possible. I was told by a Vietnam Veteran “I know that these poor men and women hate themselves.” Jessica Carnes, ‘11 jcarnes@wilson.edu

Another school year begins and many changes have taken place over the summer. On campus many new faces are becoming accustomed to the Wilson way of life. We have officially gone “green” and the new science center is moving along at a lively pace. The idea of going “green” is not new to Wilson. In 2001, as a response to the growing concern over global warming, Wilson held a strategic planning meeting to discuss plans for a new LEED Certified science complex. This new environmentally friendly building will meet new standards in energy efficiency and sustain-
able design. If construction continues as planned, the new Paul Swain Havens Science Center will open Spring 2009. Wilson also prides itself on its sustainable initiatives. The Fulton Center for Sustainable Living is a 50-acre farm located in the back of campus. Seven acres of this land are dedicated to organically grown produce, providing fresh vegetables to both the Wilson campus and the local Southgate Farmer’s Market. The center also boasts a passive-solar greenhouse, regular demonstrations on alternative energies, and an interpretive nature trail. In addition, Wilson College participates in Recycle Mania and many other sustainable practices around campus. And
now among the many “green” initiatives on campus, the environmental club has transformed the second floor of MacElwain into a new sustainability floor. You can read about this new project on page 10. Coming to Wilson as a freshman last year, it took a while to adjust to a school that is this environmentally conscious. As a sophomore, I find myself thinking more about my carbon footprint and how my actions affect the world around me. However, I admit that I do not always adhere to the lessons that Wilson attempts to instill in its students. In the next three years I hope my philosophy regarding the environment will change. I just hope it is not too late.

Does Gender Matter in VP Pursuit
by Michelle Pearson-Casey Less than a month from election day, and figures indicate Sarah Palin’s nomination has shifted the electoral advantage, according to an NBC map published Sept 15. National poll results show the Democrat’s lead narrowed since the Alaska Governor announced her bid for Vice President alongside Republican candidate John McCain. Wilson voters credit this shift in part to Palin’s gender. Should McCain win the election, Palin would be the first female Vice President of the United States, a fact some believe may influence voters.
Flushing Away the Environment by Danielle Gentry
Once upon a time, people thought flushing prescription medications down toilets was the best disposal method, but that is not the case anymore. Recent studies have shown that not all of the pharmaceutical elements that are dangerous to the environment are removed at water treatment facilities. This discovery has shown irrevocable damage to wildlife and the environment. “My mom used to flush the
A Women with Children student and Psychology major, Deneisha Cauthen ‘09, has already chosen a candidate. Still, she believes, “[Palin] may sway some people who are still torn.” She explains that some women who have yet to make up their minds may feel drawn to Palin because she is also a woman and a mother. Cauthen notes recent appearances in which Palin, not McCain, was the draw for a primarily female audience, noting many attendees left immediately following Palin’s portion of the program. Some see Palins partnership with McCain’s as a way for the party to connect with a wider range of voters. Nadine Deardorff ‘11, a College for Continuing Education student and an Elementary Education major, admits Palin has more appeal for her than McCain. “Her nomination has a tremendous impact. She’s a woman – a working woman, a mother, a hunter, and she’s youthful. She’s a real balancing factor.” Dear-
dorff views the balance as a way to help temper both candidates, so neither pulls the ticket to an extreme position with regard to the issues. Jill Hummer, Assistant Professor of History and Political Science, also views McCain’s pick as a way to balance his campaign. She too cites Palin’s gender, as well as her reputation for being staunchly conservative where McCain is viewed as a more moderate Republican. Hummer also notes the nearly three-decade age difference between the candidates, implying 44-yearold Palin’s ability to connect with a different generation than her 72-year-old running mate. As Hummer puts it, “[Palin] adds some sparkle to the ticket.” She credits Palin’s youth and the novelty of her potential to make history with adding new energy to the Republican campaign. Palin’s nomination has certainly brought new attention to the 2008 election, as evidenced previously. She is the second
unused medicine down the toilet because they were afraid if they put it in the trash that animals or kids would get it out of the trash,” states Monica Davies, whose senior project focused on contamination of creeks, streams and major waterways. Davies continues, “So they just flushed it down the toilet. But really it would just dissolve in the water. People would drink the water and become resistant to bacteria and antibiotics.” While the traces of pharmaceutical substances are shown not to be harmful to human health or shortterm wildlife, scientists are discovering that the longterm effects on wildlife are
too
prominent to ignore. So how do we prevent such horrible effects on our environment? Begin by pouring unused medication into a plastic bag. Then add kitty litter or coffee grounds and about two tablespoons of water. Finish up by smashing up the medicine and disposing of the entire bag in the trash. Do not forget to remove all of your personal information before disposing of the container! “We’re going to have so much pollution that it’s going to be economically difficult to get all of the pollutants out,” continues Davies. “The more we can do to not pollute the water to begin with, the easier
woman to run for the Vice Presidency. Geraldine Ferraro made history in 1984 as the first female Democratic nominee. College for Women student and English major, Rebecca Cheek ‘09, says she has been following the campaign more closely this year. Cheek attributes some of her interest to Palin’s nomination, saying most are more interested “especially because she is a woman and that’s such a big deal.” Cheek believes Palin’s potential to connect as a woman with issues and concerns other women have may give her an advantage with female voters. Amidst the buzz, many are asking if America is ready for a female Vice President. Some Wilson students and faculty do. Cheek says, “I’d like to hope so, but I’m not sure.” Wilson students interested in becoming more involved with this year’s election can contact Stephanie Moritz at smoritz@ wilson.edu for information about the Political Science Association.

Wilson Celebrates Convo by Danyelle Reid Summer has past and fall semester is here! For some students, the beginning of a new semester may be a gloomy occasion, but for the Wilson community, it is a time for celebration. Each semester, the Wilson community holds a convocation ceremony to celebrate the new semester, and welcoming faculty, staff, and students to Wilson. The ceremony began as the President, Deans, and Faculty proceeded into the chapel wearing their regalia. The seniors filed in after faculty wearing their gowns and dinks, as the underclassmen followed. Each semester, convocation has a theme that pertains to an important aspect of the Wilson community. This semester’s theme was “Wilson College’s Sustainable Future”. Wilson, in addition to, other educational institutions is a strong advocate of sustainable living. Guest speakers such as Ed Wells, Cheryl St. Pierre-Sleboda, and Monica Davies, spoke about different aspects of sustainability, ways we can lower our carbon footprint. The most important element of convocation is the Matriculation ceremony where new students, faculty, and staff sign the Wilson College Honor Principle. An individual who signs this document commits to being honest and responsible throughout his or her career at Wilson College. Students, staff, and faculty are expected to sign this document with hopes that they will lead their daily lives in conjunction with the Honor Principle. Convocation expressed that we need to be responsible as Wilson students and and live sustainable lives for a brighter future.

What is the image of Wilson College? You may think about the blue phoenix, the seal with an unfolded book, or just a big “W.” Now, Wilson College is in the process of establishing a more distinct brand to better illustrate itself. Debra Collins, director of communications at Wilson College, stressed the fact that “Wilson does not want to “change” its image; instead, she says “they are going to clarify what makes Wilson College so unique and then represent those distinctions consistently to create a brand that differentiates Wilson from other colleges. To better explain it, she gave an example of Harvard: everyPhoenix Mascot one recognizes the name, Harvard, and has an image in their minds about the quality of education Harvard provides. As a traditional women’s college of high quality, Wilson also tries to get its image across in a distinct way. Wilson College has hired a company named Carnegie Communications to help design the college graphic identity/message. Carnegie Communications is a well-known firm that specializes in helping higher education institutions with communications research, creative services and marketing consulting. It is important to get everybody involved. So far the college advancement together with Carnegie Communications has
finished collecting the staff’s opinions. And in this coming October, faculty and student groups will be concerned. Wilson College Trustees as well as a group of community leaders will participate in a focus group conference in November. Alumnae and prospective student focus groups will also give their opinions online and by telephone. This information will be collected by the end of November. Carnegie Communications will then start to design an appropriate graphic identity and message that can represent Wilson College in a way everybody in this community would prefer. The sampler designs will be shown and tested with some Wilson audiences and the final logo and image will be selected soon after that. “From these,” said Collins, “Carnegie will help develop a manual and a brand platform, which will help in sharing the guidelines with those who will be using it. The entire process should be completed by the end of the school year.” What is the significance of branding Wilson? Collins answered: “developing a new graphic identity and messaging platform will help Wilson College continue to strategically build on its brand.” So hopefully by next spring, we will see the newly branded Wilson College. And a better future for Wilson will also be on its way.

Phi Beta Kappa
by Aysha Sultan One of the nation’s largest and oldest honor societies that recognizes young scholars in the field of the Liberal Arts and Sciences has one of its chapters established at Wilson College According to the Wilson website, Phi Beta Kappa has 255 chapters at colleges and universities throughout the country, and Wilson College is one of them. The Phi Beta Kappa charter was granted to Wilson College in September 1949 by the 22nd council of Phi Beta Kappa. The website also mentions that “the purpose of Phi Beta Kappa is to recognize scholarship, friendship, and cultural interests, and to support excellence and integrity in pursuit of the arts and sciences.” According to Lisa Woolley, English professor and president of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society at Wilson, “character is taken into consideration but under the honor principle, everyone eligible is of good
character. Once you fill out the application form you are a member for life.” Phi Beta Kappa members are chosen based upon the following criteria: completing coursework in the area of the liberal arts or the sciences, in Math, and a foreign language. Furthermore, a GPA of 3.25 is required for seniors and 3.75 for juniors. Finally, for those who wish to apply, diversity in academics is highly recommended. The application process starts in February, juniors and seniors are encouraged to apply. After completing the application, members are selected and the initiation ceremony is held before graduation. A couple of its living members include famous figures such as former U.S. presidents Bush and Clinton. Also its members are Jeff Bezos—founder of Amazon. com, Glenn Close—actor, Eileen Collins—space shuttle commander, Peyton Manning—NFL quarterback, Francis Ford Coppola—film director, Michael Crichton— author and Henry Louis Gates, Jr.—cultural critic. The 2008 Phi Beta Kappa initiates include the following Wilson students: Dana Bennett, Charmain Fernando, Amanda Frankford, Jennifer Markley, and Lindsey Samonte. “This is mainly an academic award” says Professor Woolley. “I joined because it was an honor.”

Do You Have a White Board on Your Door?
by Nara Choi As a student who loves studying business, especially branding, there is one thing I cannot miss on the hallways in the dormitories. Every student has their own white board on their door. At first, I assumed that American people just like white boards. However, as time goes by I realize that it is not simply just a white board. It’s a tool of self-expression! Just as companies advertise themselves in the media to attract customers, students make a “copy” of themselves and reveal it on the board. In fact, they are all quite outstanding “copywriters”. What they are doing and what they are thinking are written on the board.
Diversity Week: Embrace the differences” during the week of Sept. 29. Diversity Team sponsors an essay contest entitled “What Diversity Means to Me as a Wilson Student...” This essay must be 500 words or less and submitted by 5:00pm Mon, Sep. 29. The first place winner will receive a $50 gift card to the location of their choice and have their essay published in the Billboard. The second place winner will receive a $25 gift card to the location of their choice. Please email multicultural@ wilson.edu to submit the essay or if you have any questions about the Diversity Team.. Sometimes they even express them with a drawing or stickers. People who are passing by your door would judge you through your message on the board. You could be underestimated or you could be a noble lady based on what you write on the board. That is all up to you and your message. I would like to give you an alternative suggestion today. How about changing your message into something much nicer -- then you would be showing your better side, too! If I had a white board, I would like to say “Let’s have fun, please come in! Whenever you want!” Also, I will not forget to write “Have a nice day, my lovely buddy!” on my friend’s board to make my friend happy.

DANCE: What did she see?
by Sarah Martin
On Fri, Sep. 5 and 8:00pm Sat, Sep. 6, music filled the air around the Appenzellar Buchanan Dance Studio as dancers took the stage. The show included music by Katie Geissinger, Ezio Bosso, and James Newton Howard. The music was only one part of Paula Kellinger’s newest dance “What she saw…” This dance “is a work in progress,” according to Kellinger. She is also interested in adding context to the piece through lighting and spacing in the future. “What she saw…” is an intriguing piece of work that captures the audiences’ attention and makes them think about what they are viewing. Kellinger asked the audience to not ask her the

meaning of the work, but instead, to watch it and figure it out for themselves. Because, as Kellinger points out, “’She’ is anywhere ‘she’ could be,” meaning the ‘she’ in the title and who the dance is about could be the dancers, inside of you, inside of Kellinger, in the audience, or even behind the curtains. Despite common belief, not all of the dancers graduated with a degree in dance. Noll graduated with only a minor, and Rhyne without any degree at all. McCauley was the only participant who graduated with a B.A. in Dance. These wonderful dancers combined with Paula Kellinger’s beautifully choreogra-

Spotlight on Artist by Aysha Sultan Thinking outside the box may not be an easy task for college students like us, but for a professional artist, it is a whole new way of seeing. Jo Margolis, an award-winning artist, illustrates her visions and the opening of her new exhibition—Trail Notes at Wilson’s Bogigian Art Gallery. “Ideas sort of pour out of me,” says Margolis. “I really don’t know where they come from but once you get on the train, they just come flowing out.” Margolis received her bachelor’s degree in sculptures at the University of
Pennsylvania and went on to receive her master’s in Fine Arts for sculptures at Penn’s Graduate School of Fine Arts. Margolis showcased her works at several museums and art galleries throughout the eastern United States and regional exhibitions. Some of her works were presented at the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts and the Susquehanna Art Museum.
She uses a variety of natural materials to create intricate patterns and complex designs that reflect her inspirations of historical architecture and organic forms. A special type of paper she likes to use is gampi paper, a type of Japanese paper made from the inner fibers of the rare gampi plant found in certain parts of Japan. Each piece of artwork consists of varying elements and reflects a unique perspective. However, all of Margolis’ works seem to share the same pattern. Looking at the picture as a whole, there is not a single source of consistency but each intertwining strand seems to carry its own sense of perfection. “It’s a way of thinking beyond the box,” says Margolis “a way of understanding both shape and discipline.”

He graduated from Florida International University in International Studies, which he is teaching now along with Political Science. “I chose [to work] here because when I came here for the job interview, I was impressed by the students,” Kouadio states. Kouadio invites students to drop by his office anytime. Kouadio invites, “Even if you are not taking any of my classes it doesn’t matter at all. You can ask me about whatever you else wonder.” Kouadio hopes that he and students will be in a strong relationship like a family. Kouadio concludes, “I like small towns and small schools where you can learn one on one, so I am happy to be here.”

Field hockey and soccer team began their pre-seasons back in August, but now at the end of September, both Phoenix teams are discovering how well they prepared, and if they can face their tough opponents. The head field hockey coach Shelly Novak and her assistant Aubrey Higgins have a group of eight returners and six newcoming students on the team. Novak said that she is very excited about her team, especially the fact that 11 of her players are sophomores and freshman. “We will rely on our seniors, Amy Newmaster and Sam Valentine, to lead this team,” said Novak, “while our underclassman will provide strength, depth and

the first team meeting, but only seven players came. As a result, the soccer recruiting campaign from last year had to take place again on Wilson campus. All students received emails and fliers in their mailboxes asking them if they would like to try to play soccer. And few did. Even though some of the players on the current soccer roster do not have any prior soccer experience, they are very important part of the team. Tackling is glad to have them. “Even through all the hardship, our team morale remained high. It’s extremely positive group of girls whose team spirit and support are phenomenal,” Tackling said. Currently, the soccer team has 13 players, including three freshmen and five seniors. The team captains are Sam May and Bobbie Ditzler.

Olympics Inspire Wilson Athletes by Nikola Grafnetterova
The Summer Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing may be over, but they will surely stay in people’s minds and hearts for a long time. Even though many world records were broken and medals awarded, this year’s Olympic Games were more importantly about the athletes who all worked hard for many months to compete in Beijing. For many of the contestants, just participating at these Olympic Games was their dream come true. Of course, the world will always remember Michael Phelps winning eight gold medals and making history by winning the most gold medals in a single Olympics, breaking the 1972 record of Mark Spitz. Sport fans will long remember about Jamaican runner, Usain Bolt, who won three gold medals in the 100m and 200m sprints and the 4x100 meters team sprint relay. Dutchman Maarten van der Weijden will always be a motivation for everybody, especially for those battling severe diseases, by proving that being diagnosed with leukemia in 2001 does not mean that his life is over yet. He won a gold medal in the swimming marathon in Beijing. After the race, he compared his gold medal triumph to his personal battle against cancer as he patiently waited for the leaders to set the pace before he claimed the gold at the end of the race. South African Natalie du Toit inspired everybody to dream big and work hard by fulfilling her ambition to compete at the Beijing Olympic Games despite having her lower leg amputated seven years ago in a motor accident. She became the first amputee to qualify for the Olympic Games since 1936; du Toit finished sixteenth in the women’s 10km marathon swim. Previously, she had won six medals at the 2004 Athens Paralympics Games. There were many more moments at the Beijing Olympic Games 2008 that were unforgettable. Each viewer took something different away from these Games. Wilson student-athletes who watched 2008 Summer Games felt inspired, too. Softball pitcher Cheryl Taylor felt emotional when she watched the softball championship game for the gold medal.
UPCOMING Sports EVENTS Field Hockey:
“The moment that inspired me as an athlete was when USA softball team left their cleats on the field in Beijing after their last game,” Taylor explains. “I re-learned that softball, and all sports, is so much more than just winning and getting trophies. This was the last year that softball was ever an Olympic sport. To leave the cleats on the Olympic field just says so much about what the game means to the players. I was inspired with their love for softball and the heart they put in it. It made me want to play with all my heart every game like it is my last, too.” Alaina Hofer, a three-sport athlete at Wilson, was not inspired solely by one athlete but by all of them. “I think the most exciting thing about the Olympics was the attitude and love of what the athletes did,” Hofer states. “They all were there to show to their countries and themselves that they could make it. It didn’t matter if they won a medal or not, it was just the experience. It was great!” Katelyn Alleman, Wilson field hockey player, felt inspired by performances of Michael Phelps and beach volleyball players Misty May and KerriWalsh. “I thought Michael Phelps performance was very uplifting to see someone being at their very best and better than anyone else in the history of the Games. It makes you feel like you can do anything, too. I would have to say my favorite part of the Games was seeing Misty May and Kerri Walsh winning the first ever back to back gold medals in that sport.” Alleman continues, “they were very determined and had this dream since the last Olympics. Their performance inspires me to go for my goals no matter what the cost is or what people think of me.” “The ceremonies were fantastic, amazing, and completely incredible in how they were choreographed,” states Jenny Chamberlain who already prepares for her senior year on gymnastics team and regrets not having much time to watch the Games. While the Beijing Olympic Games have been over for a month, most athletes are already training for the next one to come. The next Summer Olympic Games are being held in London, England in 2012.

Mean to Be Green
Get to Know the Con
by Susan Davies and Ed Wells “Mid a group of pines and maples, near a gently flowing stream” . . . this is a line from Wilson College Alma Mater, and the stream referred to is the Conochocheage Creek. Wilson College students, teachers, alumnae, and the Chambersburg community are very lucky to have such a beautiful creek for their enjoyment. There is not a season that passes that one will not see someone down by the riparian edge of the campus creek. They may be picnicking, fishing, reading, or just relaxing. The Con makes a wonderful outdoor classroom for biology, environmental studies, English, and art classes. The Con has so much to offer everyone--the business person, scientist, artist, student, teacher, child, or hiker. The Con offers a diversity of wildlife for our enjoyment. On a given day are ducks, crayfish, minnows, stocked trout and a wide diversity of plant and animal life. The sound of the cool, trickling water on a hot sunny day could work as its own mental air conditioner just as the ice-covered winter water makes a spectacular scene. The Con gives so much to our community, and the people in it. How can we give back to The Creek? We can clean up litter that deteriorates the chemical, biological and aesthetic qualities of this impressive ecosystem. We can get involved in efforts to restore the ecological integrity of The Con by joining the Environmental Club or taking a class that works to maintain and restore The Con’s health. Many of us would like to see a restored riparian buffer along The Creek’s edge. This will filter polluted runoff, provide bank stability, as well as furnish wildlife residents with an abundant habitat and food sources. Since the Siloam Dam (upstream) and Wolf Lake Dam (downstream) have been removed, The Con is being restored to natural conditions. Appreciating these qualities will make it seem more like a natural space that needs to be protected and enriched. Perhaps the most important
10
act one can do is to go and enjoy the natural setting that the Conococheague Creek has to offer, for quiet reflection and active recreation. Take the time to walk along The Con: create memories, explore the natural world, reflect about things important to you--the opportunities are endless.
Green Is New Black by Chelsi Hornbaker Sustainability is the environmentally friendly way to efficiently use the resources we have to take care of our earth. The goal is to reduce our impacts on the environment. As we all know, our beloved Wilson College is striving to progress and become more sustainable, so we have a brand new initiative in the works. This innovative project is known as the Sustainability Floor. The idea is just beginning this year; the creativity and inspiration are flowing and many people are more than ready to begin. The Sustainability Floor has been installed on the second floor of the freshmen dorms of MacElwain, but not only can the incoming freshmen live on the Sustainability Floor, but anyone who is interested and anyone willing to make a difference to become more “green” is greatly encouraged to take part on this quest. For example, the Sustainability Floor will be working to make eco-fashionable tie-dye shirts made with organic rather than synthetic dyes. Some speculate that synthetic dyes can cause toxic chemicals to be absorbed through the skin which
leads to accumulation of heavy metals in major organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and even bones. We can prevent this by using the organic dyes with natural earth tones. The Sustainability Floor will be making them Sept 24 on the Green from 5:30-6:30, bring your own t-shirt. Other activities planned are making paper by recycling the lint from the dryer, recycling paper, and to make people aware of the size of their carbon footprint. A carbon footprint is the measure of impact on the environment especially by how much greenhouse gases each of us individually produce. There are ways to cut our carbon footprints. Think of your method of transportation; is it really necessary to drive the car two minutes just to get across campus? In order to cut the greenhouse gases produced from cars, choose to walk instead of driving to get some fresh air. Is it too far to walk? Carpool instead of driving separately, not only can you save gas money, but you also get to spend time with friends. Some other tips on being more sustainable: • Turn off the lights when not in the room • Turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth • Wash only full loads of laundry • Invest in a welcome mat, 90% of the dirt brought from outside is collected in it, it will save time mopping and mud from being dragged through the house

Counselor’s Couch
Education
by Kathryn Brooks The first week of October is Mental Illness Awareness Week, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to raise a bit of awareness, reduce some stigma, and share a couple resources. I will focus on major depressive disorder (clinical depression) and bipolar disorder (manic depression). The most important thing to know is that both are serious but treatable illnesses with identifiable symptoms, as opposed to something the sufferers are doing on purpose. They cut across lines of social class, income and intelligence, in fact are common among those with above average intelligence and highly creative people. One key symptom of depression is a persistently sad or empty mood. Often there is a loss of interest and/or pleasure in things that used to be fun or enjoyable. Sleep is often affected, either in the direction of insomnia or oversleeping. Similarly, appetite changes are common, either leading to weight loss or gain. Likewise, fatigue and loss of energy may be a problem, perhaps accompanied by a physical sense of slowing down, but restlessness and agitation are just as possible. One’s ability to concentrate and make decisions is often diminished. Depressed individuals often wrestle with powerful feelings of guilt and worthlessness. Finally, thoughts of death or suicide may be present. Bipolar disorder includes periods of depression, as well as periods of mania which consist of an elevated, expansive or irritable mood. There may be inflated self-esteem and a euphoric mood. With the rise in energy may come a decreased need for sleep. Increased talkativeness and rapid speech are common, as are racing thoughts and ideas. Often there are problems concentrating and a tendency to be easily distracted. The individual may become more physically active or agitated, and more engaged in goaldirected activities. Commonly, there is increased involvement in pleasurable and often risky behaviors such as sex or spending. Treatment can help manage symptoms, alleviate suffering, and free the individual to contribute her many gifts to society. If you see yourself in any of these descriptions, or simply feel like something is getting in the way of being yourself and living your life fully, please know that the Counseling Center is here to help you (x3235). Don’t be ashamed to reach out for help. An online tool available for National Depression Screening Day: http://www.nmha.org/go/depression-screening-day

Train Your Mind for Success
by James Malinchak Nothing can be achieved unless you first believe it. Train your mind to believe that you WILL achieve your goals. Your brain is a muscle. Like any other muscle in your body, it needs to be exercised in order for it to grow, become stronger and increase its performance. The way to accomplish this is through proper exercise of your muscle (brain). I’m sure you have heard of Bill Gates. If you haven’t then you probably have at least used computer software designed by his company, Microsoft. Bill Gates is listed as the richest man in America with an estimated net worth of $100 billion. (That’s right, billion!) In a recent interview, Bill was asked how he is able to develop unique ideas and concepts that continuously put Microsoft ahead of all other computer software companies. His answer was amazing, but simple. Bill told a story of his childhood. He said that one day his mother couldn’t find him anywhere in the house. Finally, she opened the closet door and found him sitting there in the dark closet. When his mother asked why he was sitting in a dark closet, he replied, “I’m thinking.” Bill went on in the interview to stress how important it is to exercise your brain because it responds to repetitive exercise. There’s an old saying, “Repetition is the Mother of Skill,” meaning that in order for you to improve or increase your performance, you need to practice the fundamentals over and over again. Studies have indicated that it takes approximately 21-30 days to create a new habit. This means that if you want to change or create a belief in your mind, it should become a natural habit after working on it for 21-30 days. “The key to success is to study. Your brain must be exercised like a muscle - work it well.”-Joe Weider, Chairman of the Board, Weider Publications and creator of Muscle & Fitness magazine Malinchak is the author of 10 top-selling success and motivational books and a contributing author to the #1 Best-selling book series, Chicken Soup for the Soul®.

the Book and Movie Review Hop on past absurdity is signature Coen brothers House Bunny Burn After Reading: audacious
by Michelle Pearson-Casey Academy Award winning director/producer duo, Joel and Ethan Coen, better known as the Coen brothers, unleash outlandishness again in their latest feature, spy spoof Burn After Reading. Released on the heels of Oscar and Golden Globe winner, No Country for Old Men (2007), Burn After Reading debuted as the number one comedy when it opened on Sept. 12. Oddly enjoyable, Burn After Reading will please long-time Coen fans with its over-the-top scheming, eccentric characters, and peculiar resonance similar to that of their previous films The Big Lebowski (1998), and O Brother Where Art Thou (2000). A cast of award winners and Hollywood hit-makers, including John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, Brad Pitt, plus Coen alums George Clooney and Frances McDormand, bring to life this disturbingly dark comedy, leaving audience members gasping, grimacing, and laughing in spite of themselves. The story opens with intelligence agent “Ozzie” Cox (Malkovich) as he loses his job and decides to pen a memoir about his life as a “spook.” Inadvertently, a draft of Ozzie’s autobiography ends up in the hands of dim-witted personal trainer Chad Feldheimer (Pitt) who with coaching from his self-loathing sidekick, Linda Litzke (McDormand), attempts to blackmail the former CIA agent in order to fund Linda’s plastic surgery plan. Making matters worse, Ozzie’s wife, Katie (Swinton), files for divorce to be with her lover, Harry Pfarrer (Clooney), himself a married security agent with a penchant for serial dating. As the plot thickens, Chad and Linda, desperate after their initial attempts at extortion are thwarted, offer what they believe to be top-secret government information to the Russians. Linda waits to hear from the Russian embassy, in the meantime hooking up with Harry via an online dating service. The two get cozy, unaware of both their secret lives, until people start getting killed. Not for the faint of heart, Burn After Reading will delight social cynics with its bitter commentary on American “Intelligence.” Burn After Reading is silly, but with substance. Equal parts asinine and astute, this film will warp viewers’ sentiments and have moviegoers laughing in all the wrong places and wondering what the hell is wrong with the Coen brothers.

by Kayla Chagnon
House Bunny opened in theaters Aug. 22, is a lighthearted rehashing of Legally Blonde with a lot more skin, yet fewer redeeming qualities. However, the two stars of the film, Anna Faris (Scary Movies 1-4), makes the beginning of the film remotely bearable. On the morning after her 27th birthday, Shelly finds herself kicked out of her home. She stumbles her way to a community of “mini” Playboy mansions and becomes the housemother of a misfit sorority, Zeta Alpha Zeta. Shelly learns that the sisters are in danger of losing their charter; the requisite makeover montage begins; these misfits become gorgeous! Faris brings laughs to even the most outrageous scenes. However, the second part of the film dissolves into an homage to Hugh Hefner and the girls of ZAZ. Fault cannot rest squarely on Faris’ shoulders; the writers try to weave too many plotlines together and their true star gets lost in the twisting, over-the-top results. House Bunny does not stick with the central story, and the movie becomes so unbelievable even its best qualities could not redeem it. Its message becomes insignificant and in the end, even the hilarious Faris cannot save this film.
Miss Pettigrew Grew on Me by Jessica Carnes Watching Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, one initially feels cheated out of what could have been a good night of favorite TV shows. Yet, for those who rarely visit the sequestered state of mind known as “light and cheerful,” Miss Pettigrew takes you there, leaving you thinking: “Hollywood should produce more comedies written by Winifred Watson!” As Miss Pettigrew, Frances McDormand captivates as a thoroughly uncultivated, prude, and intolerant woman who lost her last job due to her penchant for nosiness. McDormand’s performance is flawless: she understands that sometimes a whisper implies a scream. Played by Amy Adams, Delysia Lafasse is an aspiring singer and actress whose radiant beauty and talent is meant to be juxtaposed with Miss Pettigrew’s. The two women meet as Lafasse hires Pettigrew to help her juggle three men and a career. At the same time, both women share a plight: they’re both poor. Delysia depends on men for money; Pettigrew depends on her. Set in the mid-1930s preWorld War II London, each character experiences the most memorable day of their lives together, in spite of the chaos that threatens to prevail. Recently released in Aug. 2008, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is now on DVD through Netflix or Blockbuster.

I’m With the Band
“‘Rising’ Youth” by Rebecca Cheek
Energetic is the first word that comes to mind when watching the metal band, “The Rise Inside,” rock-out on stage. All still in high school, the five-member band is comprised of lead vocalist/screamer Cam “The Wolf” McClure, bassist Tyler “Toast” Mckee, guitarist and background vocalist James Paul, Guitarist Malcome-Riley Howe and drummer Brad Farrow. Walking onstage, Cam may not seem to have a commanding presence, but don’t be fooled. The screams amidst heart-felt choruses display both an immense vocal range and incredible talent. Cam is not the only talented band member. James Paul, with his flaming red hair often displays his talents on guitar during fancy breakdowns. Drummer Brad keeps the beat incredibly well, given the occasional blinding lights and sudden vocal change-ups by Cam. Brad and Malcome keep up the tempo and rhythm on bass and guitar. When the band first started in June 2006, the majority of their performance was comprised of cover songs by bands
like “Underoath” and “August Burns Red.” Now that the band has several years of experience under their belt, most of their performances contain songs written by the band members. “The music is written by James, but then the whole band throws in their parts,” lead vocalist Cam explains. Cam also writes the lyrics, which speak of forgiveness, second chances, and raw, powerful emotions in songs such as “Anchors” and “Underestimating the Scenery of a Car Crash.” If looking for music to dance and thrash to, look no further than “The Rise Inside.” Recently back from recording their demo titled “Dear God, I Fear The World Is Under An Avalanche of Fire,” this band is excited to share their new material with Chambersburg and the surrounding areas. On Oct. 19, “The Rise Inside” is scheduled to perform at the Delaplaine Arts Center in Frederick Maryland. On Dec. 12, they will perform at Pleasant Hill Church in Greencastle, PA. For more about the band, and to hear songs from their new demo, go to www.myspace.com/theriseinside. “The Rise Inside” loves to play in their hometown of Chambersburg and are currently booking additional shows.

Facts About To-Go Boxes:
• To Go Boxes are available for students, faculty and ttaff. • To-Go Boxes must be requested IN ADVANCE of a meal, not during. Requests received during the meal will be denied. • To-Go Boxes are ONLY available Monday through Friday unless you are sick and/or quarantined to your room. If this is the case we will be checking with Nicole Villella, the College Nurse, to verify you have seen her. • If you are sick and need a To-Go Box, the person picking it up MUST bring your Student ID (along with theirs) to the Dining Hall to be scanned. • Each person receives ONE To-Go Box per meal along with a cup, silverware and a napkin. (The only exception to this rule is for WWC, who might need a second container for their children.) • No outside tupperware or other food storage containers are permitted within the Dining Hall UNLESS they were distributed by a staff member of Student Development (IE - Students observing a religious holiday/practice or WWC mothers packing lunch for their child for the following day.) This includes “travel” mugs and sports bottles. There will soon be a Wilson Dining Hall approved “travel” mug available for purchase, and will be the only beverage container able to be filled and removed. • To-Go Boxes are a convenience offered by the College to students and members of the community when there is a class which conflicts with meal time, when athletes have practice/games, or when someone living on campus is too sick to be in the Dining Hall.
