Mistick Maintains Positive Outlook Despite Economic Challenges

by Brooke Ketron Dr. Barbara K. Mistick began her tenure in late July, after the resignation of Dr. Lorna Duphiney Edmundson in June. Her time on campus began with major renovations and the relocation of the John Stewart Memorial Library.

In addition, Mistick faces the challenges of a failing economy and declining enrollment in the College for Women.

“Doing things soon is important, but being sustainable is more important. More students are needed every semester. It’s a balancing act of keeping everything vibrant in such a noisy market,” says Mistick.

“I think the biggest overall problem is the economy. Making education affordable is so important, but also complicated. Students and families are struggling more than ever to meet the financial requirements of higher education…” adds Mistick “There’s work on a strategic plan to raise enrollment, but it must be relevant to students. It’s important to continue to have vibrant classes and market them more effectively,” Six different constituencies will contribute to the plan to build enrollment numbers: students, faculty, administration, alumnae, the Board of Trustees, and the community will be able to work with the college in this plan.

“We need to be open about the fact that we are a women’s college and make potential students aware of what a college like Wilson can offer them that a larger university cannot,” Stephanie Bachman ‘12,

WCGA Constitution and By-Laws Chair adds, “I think that personal statements are a very powerful tool to use in recruitment. Students need to know that a college experience at Wilson will help them achieve their goals and have a successful career.”

Mistick identifies the reconstruction of the John Stewart Memorial Library as the area of most concern. After mixed feedback on the library’s temporary relocation, Mistick’s goal is to inform the Board of Trustees about the current state of the Library.

The last meeting with the Board of Trustees took place in the spring, before renovations began and prior to Mistick’s tenure. Not only does the Board of Trustees need to be involved in the remodeling, but Mistick emphasizes the importance of the Wilson Community becoming involved.

“The first step is to decide how we want to use the library as the center of research. [Library Director] Kathleen Murphy is already holding sessions on remodeling,” comments Mistick. With the increasing presence of technology in place of book research, the remodeling of the library should focus on a design that responds to modern technology, information management and cutting edge academia. “Planning is extensive, but it will make the project better,” she says.

“It would be great if the college would present a few potential plans or drafts for the new library so

that everyone could weigh in on the pros and cons that they see in each plan,” says Bachman, “I hope that students will speak up and share their opinions so that the new library not only meets, but exceeds our expectations.”

Plans to restore other facilities on campus are already underway, including the rebuilding of the pedestrian footbridge. The footbridge connected the barns to the Disert parking lot, but was demolished after its condition deteriorated in 2008. With the cooperation of the weather, the footbridge is scheduled to be completed within the academic year.

“It’s a small victory, but it’s these small projects that makes things easier,” says Mistick.

Throughout years of facility restoration and campus projects, combined with declining enrollment and admissions, Wilson began accruing debt. The Leading with Confidence campaign helped install the several million dollar completion of the Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics, and Technology alone. The John Stewart Memorial Library will likely cost over $200,000 according to previous estimates early last spring. “It’s not necessarily a bad thing, it enables us to grow,” expresses a confident Mistick. The college takes on debt much like students when they receive student loans, “The zeros are just different,” she adds, “It is important to live

within our means.”

Despite the challenges at hand, Mistick remains enthusiastic for the future of the college. Though only approximately 100 days into her time on campus, Mistick receives letters of gratitude from past students and parents. “The fact is, we do change lives every day,” expresses Mistick, “Wilson is very good with showing students the kind of differences they make one act, one person at a time. That’s what makes this place so special.”

Editorial-Opinion

Sparks Controversy Over Lack of Privacy Editorial byFacebook Brooke Ketron

It is no secret that Facebook is the most popular form of social media today, but it is not all about just keeping in touch with old friends. This September Facebook once again made changes to the main “Home page” layout. Now, users’s actions, which were previously displayed on their “wall,” are now shown in a live stream at the top right corner of the website's homepage.

Before, the visibility of actions such as adding new friends or commenting on someone's status could be controlled through privacy sharing setting in the old format. The new layout does not allow such privacy. Users were able to hide certain actions from other users and decline to share certain information. Now it seems almost impossible to keep things hidden, especially from the real-time action stream.

The overwhelming response to the changes in the Facebook were those of disapproval. Many users mentioned and made complaints about the lack of privacy and even attempted to find ways to make their profile more private. One way to make actions less accessible is by asking those on your “friends list” to unsubscribe from your news feed. The fact remains that privacy and social media do not have the most compatible relationship, but are they supposed to?

Social media--Facebook in particular--may seem like an easy way to talk to friends and family, but it’s really more complex. A few mass communications classes will fill you in on the real intent of social networking. Facebook is built around the world of advertisers, but not in the way you may think. Facebook is not just giving advertisers a place to market a product or service, it is also selling the advertisers an audience.

Have you ever noticed when you click on a link to “like” a certain artist or product, that advertisements for that product will begin to appear on your sidebar? That is because data is recorded with each and every click made within the Facebook website and is in turn given to advertisers.

It became clear to me after the updates to Facebook that many users were not aware of this ongoing phenomena. I found it rather alarming that more people are not informed on the advertising market and how our so-called lives are simply commodities to be distributed through surfing on a web page. If people were aware of this ahead of time, perhaps the changes to Facebook would not be as shocking.

I was particularly surprised at the amount of people stating they were going to change to other forms of social media in order to maintain their

privacy. With the success of Facebook influencing all budding social networking web sites, it’s likely that their data system also keeps track of personal browsing in order to advertise more appropriately to the user.

Switching to Google + will not exclude anybody from the rush of advertisements we face each and every day. It is simply the same data being collected and the same advertisements being delivered. It is just no longer on Facebook.

Facebook is becoming more obvious and direct with their intention of delivering demographics and psychographics to advertisers. It is the responsibility of users to be aware of this and use the media as they see appropriately. By educating yourself on advertising and social media in general, you will be able to recognize the lengths advertisers go to receive our information and create ads they think will target the right audience.

Abandoning Facebook, switching social media web sites and improving privacy settings still will not protect you from advertisers. The fact of the matter is, we cannot escape the commercial world we live in, especially on the Internet. We either accept the changes Facebook makes and live with the idea that each of us is being sold, or we deactivate our account and move on. Either way, privacy is becoming nearly impossible to obtain.

WCGA Opens Office for Clubs Use, Considers Ideas for Temporary “Mini-Student Union”

by Jyotsna Dhakal

The year 2011-12 will see the Wilson College Government Association (WCGA) give continuity to its programs from previous years, as well as to implement some new ones.

Besides continuing with its office hours and Pizza Talks, WCGA continues to look for ways to reach out to the student body. Students can go see a member of the Board during the WCGA Executive Board office Hours with any question or idea they may have.

WCGA also hopes to provide campus comment boards where students can ask questions or express their opinions anonymously while receiving feedback from WCGA. WCGA is also continuing to revise the Blue Book and apportionment process to make expectations as clear and equitable as possible.

The Club Office is among the new additions made by WCGA this year. The office is located in the

other half of the WCGA room and is now available for student clubs and organizations. It can be used as a meeting space and also has resources for use. A semester calendar allows clubs to sign up to use the space two days in advance. It can also be used during WCGA Office Hours or upon contact of the Board.

There will be club mailboxes which will hold a club’s constitution and any other important documents.

“I think the Club Office is a great idea in that it will help us out a lot when we are running around looking for an appropriate club meeting place,” says Supriya Thapa ‘14.

Recognizing the need for students to have a place just to hang out or relax with friends, WCGA works with the college to create an alternative student space that can replace Sarah’s Coffeehouse while it is being used for the Library.

WCGA hopes for more student

involvement.

“Daily, I hear students talking about things that bother them about their college experience, or discussing these amazing ideas that would improve campus for everyone,” says Stephanie Bachman ‘12, Constitution and By-Laws Chair.

“Unfortunately, there seems to be a sense of apathy among the student body that keeps these thoughts and ideas from reaching fruition.”

“Most of the projects and programs that WCGA takes on are a direct result of the things we hear from our peers, but we would be so much more successful if more students got involved, and took an active role in improving their experience at Wilson,” she continues.

Students can get involved by attending WCGA meetings every Tuesday at 11:00am in the WCGA office, in which WCGA discusses projects and programs

that are currently on the agenda.

Students are also encouraged to join a committee (such as the apportionment committee) if they have a specific need or concern. Participating in fun WCGA events like Pizza Talk to make themselves heard is another available option. Besides these, WCGA welcomes students to drop by the WCGA Office during office hours to talk about an idea that they may have, or even just to chat.

“We would love it if someone stopped by and wanted help with an idea they have, or suggestion for how we can improve,” Bachman says.

“I really hope that students will utilize the resources that we can provide, whether it be the club office, answering questions, or help with an idea. I’m hoping that we can wrap-up some of the initiatives that we started last year, and start on some new ones as well such as a mini student union space!” she adds.

Campus and Community Turn-out Nears 400 to Welcome Dr. Mistick as 19th President

by April Davila

On Sat, Oct. 1, the campus and community welcomed President Barbara K. Mistick and installed her as the 19th president of the college.

Former alumnae, current students and an estimated 400 people attended the three-day event to witness Dr. Mistick following in the footsteps of former president, Lorna D. Edmundson.

Dr. Mistick was chosen for her leadership and entrepreneurial credentials. She began to rely on her expertise as of July 1, 2011.

Inauguration committee members, administrators, faculty, staff, students, trustees, and community members attended the event.

Even though wet weather dampened the opportunity to hold the ceremony outside, spirits were high.

John W. Gibb, the Chair of the Board of Trustees conducted the installation of Dr. Mistick as the new president on campus. Those attending gave a standing ovation as Gibb placed the presidential medallion around her neck.

A number of speakers alongside Chair member Gibb spoke, including current Class President, Stephanie Bachman ‘11. Bachman

welcomed Mistick with open arms Mistick responded by expressing gratitude to those who made Saturday’s event possible, including her predecessor.

“I like to extend my gratitude to each of you for your strong foundation. On a personal note, I would like to thank Lorna Edmundson for her work…in the last 10 years,” said Dr. Mistick.

Following the ceremony, attendees cheered, exchanging hugs and handshakes with Mistick as she walked out down the isle of the chapel.

Alumnae took part in the history of the 19th president and enjoyed tearful reminiscing with old classmates. The oldest class represented was the class of ‘21. Joan Mitchell ‘63, Mary Anne McCormick ‘63 and Anne Barton ‘63 praised Mistick’s inaugural speech theme.

“We love the fact that Dr. Mistick focused her speech on love.

We got the feeling of family.”

The coming decades are critical for Wilson, according to Mistick, as the college grapples with “the importance of making life better for girls and women,” she said.

But she says, “It is alums, community, counties, and everyone’s generosity that keep

Wilson and its mission alive.

There is no greater investment in supporting Wilson” she said.

Dr. Ted Smith Retrieves Divine Violence as a Topic in Christian Ethics

by Laura B. Hans

tory, Dr. David True says that Smith, “…looks to reconfigure ethics, as part of a larger, broader understanding, as a culture and as human beings. Ted does social ethics… with the stuff of everyday life.”

John Brown was a controversial figure in the United States Civil War history. He was a white abolitionist who led an armed slave revolt,

which attempted to seize the U.S. Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. Brown was hanged at Harpers Ferry for his actions. The case study of John Brown’s violence is interesting because as Smith notes, “Brown says, “I’m following the golden rule, ‘love thy neighbor as myself.’”

The question exists as to whether John Brown should be regarded as a “fanatic or freedom fighter” for his actions. Smith examines the discourse of violence and says, “Contemporary political formations rely on stories in which the disenchantment of violence both explains and limits violence.” He acknowledges Brown differently and argues that, “these interpretations dismiss Brown’s sense that violence could relate directly to the divine.”

The idea of divine violence comes from Walter Benjamin. He defines both mythical violence and divine violence. Smith explains that mythical violence is violence used as a tool, which establishes law. In contrast, Smith describes Benjamin’s concept of divine violence as, “[violence that] shatters the existing sys-

the students. He said, “There were a number of students in the English and Mass Communications program who pushed for it. The students really planted the seeds.”

When asked what students the program hopes to reach, Dr. Cornelius said, “The original pushers were really the adult learners who wanted to continue their education.

Adult learners and students in the Women with Children Program are the ones who really need the program. They can’t move across country to go to grad school.”

The M.A. in Humanities was first proposed three years ago, but the process didn’t begin moving until 2009. Based on community outreach and the availability of graduate programs in this area, Wilson began the process of adding the M.A. The new M.A. provides the community with an opportunity to further their education. High school teachers or other working professionals will be able to obtain a Master’s degree that

may help them further their careers.

Prior to the approval of the M.A. in Humanities, Wilson only offered one other Graduate Program in Education. Dr. Cornelius believes the addition of the new M.A. could bode well for the addition of future graduate programs. Dr. Cornelius said, “We have to be wise about how we do graduate study at Wilson. I think there is a real opportunity for growth but, I don’t think there is a need for us to grow too quickly. We are well prepared to respond to the needs of the community. I think there is a real potential for judicious growth.”

On Thurs, Oct. 27, Wilson will be holding an information session for students interested in the program. The session will take place at 5:30pm in Norland Parlor. Faculty will be present to answer any questions regarding the new degree. Applications for the program will also be available during the information session.

Humanities Launches a New Master’s Program

by Ashley Wetzel

In July, the Middle States Commission approved Wilson’s new Master of Arts degree in Humanities. Wilson will begin taking applications as early as Nov. 2011 and will begin enrolling students in the program during the fall 2012 semester.

The M.A. in Humanities degree is designed to engage both working professionals and students in the Humanities field.

The degree will utilize coursework from the existing curriculum in the Humanities Division.

The M.A. requires students to choose from two concentrations, Language and Literature or Arts and Culture. The M.A. requires ten course credits, which includes two credits dedicated to a Master’s Thesis. Most graduate programs take two years. The new M.A. could be completed in as little as 18 months.

According to Program Director, Dr. Michael Cornelius, the driving force behind the new M.A. are

tem of accountability… [and] levels the system…[It] shatters the existing system of morals,…but does not build anything in its place…and is bloodless.” Examining the ethics of John Brown’s violence in this sense allows for a space for deeper analysis of the ethics of violence.

Smith claims that, “divine violence can begin to make sense of the phenomenology of violence and interrupt the expansion of violence” by removing the ideology surrounding the idea. Smith then refers to Reverdy Ransom’s address, “The Spirit of John Brown” to consider the new found opportunities for Christian-based discussion about divine violence.

Smith presented an engaging lecture which allowed listeners to think about religion and violence, analyze the ways that we think about religion and violence and bring to light the assumptions which structure public debate.

Smith says, “I am grateful for the invitation and honored that Dr. True asked me to speak.”

Habitat for Humanity Dedicates a “Build Day” to Threatened Bat Population

by Samantha Klopp

It is common knowledge that Habitat for Humanity works toward building houses for those in need. While this goal typically extends to those in human societies, Wilson’s Habitat for Humanity Chapter decided to reinterpret its meaning and sponsor their fall build day for the campus’s nocturnal neighbors: bats.

While some may question the relevance of building bat houses, Habitat’s executive board had a good reason to follow through on the project. In the days before the build, Habitat hosted an informational table to raise awareness of two factors surrounding the build’s importance. The foremost factor involved the growing concern over White Nose Syndrome, a condition infecting and killing millions of bats across the United States since 2007, including three species native to Pennsylvania. Little is known about this malady aside from its cause, a cold-loving fungus named Geomyces destructans, which eats away at a bat’s fat reserves over hibernation, thus causing them to wake up prematurely. Evidence currently shows the fungus only attacks bats hibernating in caves, where it will kill ninety percent of the population in the hibernacula. Scientists are researching the reason for this fact, and encourage people living in affected areas to monitor bat populations around their communities.

In addition to providing alternative hibernacula, bat houses are also important as safe alternates to bats roosting in community buildings and private residences.

With this in mind, Wilson’s bat house build was scheduled for September 18th. Over a period of four hours, the group of twelve, comprised of staff and students, volunteered their time to help with the building process. Many were shocked that the house dimensions were so large, and voiced that they thought them to be about the size of bird houses. The homes were constructed from scratch, and included building the walls and roof of the houses.

Once finished, the sides of the houses were caulked to provide insulation and waterproofing for its inhabitants. Finally, the surface of the wood was stained black to retain heat and sustain temperatures on the inside surface.

By the end of the day, two houses were completed, and are now

awaiting their placement in November. Habitat executives are in contact with professors and staff who have volunteered to assist with finding proper places for the homes on campus. Habitat wishes to thank all who participated in and showed support for this program, and invite all interested to partake in hanging the houses. More information will be available when the date and location for this activity is decided.

Offi ce of Student Activities Introduces Two New Student Interns

by Lauren Kershner This year the Office of Student Development chose two new interns for its student run branch called the Office of Student Activities (OSA). Internships are appointed on a yearly basis and their focus is to advance co-curricular life. The intern’s responsibilities include program planning, marketing and implementing workshops.

Meta Porcella ‘14 and Ashley Overdorff ‘12, are the two new interns for the 2011-12 school year. Overdorff holds the Orientation and Marketing intern position. She works closely with Asst. Dean of Students, Rebecca Hammell to create a better Orientation Week.

She reviews the schedule from previous Orientations and revises it

to make the week run smoother for both new and returning students.

Porcella is the Programming and Marketing intern. Her job is to get the campus involved with fun activities. Her most recent project was for Arts Day. She utilizes creative advertising methods to attract student’s attention for campus events. Porcella said while making the crayon boxes for Arts Day, “this is just one out of several ideas that I had for advertising, and I thought this would grab the most attention.”

Becky Harrison ‘12, maintains her internship with OSA, but now holds the Leadership Development intern position. She runs the leadership activities and will be starting this year’s series “Leadership: the Adventure.”

Athletic Facilities in Dire Need of Updates and Repairs

by Caileigh Oliver

The athletic facilities are in need of repairs and updates in order to better serve the Wilson community.

In 2006, when the current Leading with Confidence fundraising campaign was being created, there were plans to build a new athletics facility.

In the plan submitted to be included in the funding campaign, Athletics Director Lori Frey proposed, “A new recreation, athletic and performance center, with facilities designed for fitness, recreation, academics and support of our NCAA Division III program, while providing a location for various performances.” Frey also stated that, “This proposed facility could be constructed for between 12-24 million dollars.” The proposal was approved, and it was indicated that it was going to be included when the campaign was launched. However, just before the Leading with Confidence campaign was publicly announced in February 2010, the proposed athletic facilities were removed from the campaign goals, and plans towards a new facility were scrapped.

The current athletic facilities are outdated when compared to other colleges and universities. This doesn’t only hurt the athletes with a lack of adequate facilities, but it also makes a significant impact on visiting recruits – usually a negative one.

“The facilities do make a difference when recruiting. When I have a recruit who is looking between here and a similar school that has a turf field, the majority of the time the recruit will end up going to the other school,” says Athletic Recruiting Coordinator and Head Field Hockey Coach Shelly Novak.

One of the facilities in need of renovation is the Frank E. Gannett Memorial Field House. This

facility contains: the Nelson Gymnasium, where home basketball and gymnastics competitions are held and all sports teams practice during inclement weather; the Athletic Training Room, where athletes receive medical treatment; the archery range and bowling alley; and the offices of the Athletic Director, the Athletic Recruiting Coordinator, the Sports Information Director, and the Head Athletic Trainer.

“The field house is outdated, and the current program has outgrown it,” says Frey.

The athletics department has been expanding, but there are no places in the field house to expand into. As a result, the bowling alley also now serves as both the office of the Athletic Event and Facility Manager Ashley Kisner, and serves as storage for sport uniforms.

The locker room also contains the office of Sports Information Director Beth Weixel, and serves as storage for more athletic equipment.

The field house is unable to support the sports teams during inclement weather where the only space available for teams to practice inside is the gymnasium, which can only hold one sport at a time. During the winter sports season, basketball and gymnastics must schedule practices around one another. While the gymnastics team practices in the practice gym located next to Lenfest Commons, the gym is only able to hold three events. In order to practice vault, the team must travel to the field house to practice.

The softball, field hockey, and soccer/lacrosse fields all have severe drainage issues.

The drainage systems are so poor or non-existent that after rain, the ground is unsafe and there are many standing puddles on the field.

The fall sports have had many difficulties this season dealing with their flooding fields.

In September, both the soccer and field hockey fields flooded severely, forcing both teams to relocate their weekend games to turf fields at Shippensburg University and Mercersburg Academy. The soccer field floods so much that before a set of weekend games in October, the soccer coaches brought a shop vacuum and buckets to the field in order to reduce the size of some of the largest puddles on the field.

When asked about giving a quote for this article, most of the athletics staff declined to comment.

Hunt Seat Team Rides to Success in First Two Shows of Year

by Lauren Kershner

The Wilson Hunt Seat Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) riding team competed in shows on Sun, Sept. 25 and Sun, Oct. 2, both at Penn State Main Campus.

They compete in Zone 3, Region 1 against the following schools: Dickinson, Gettysburg, Juniata, Bucknell College, Indiana University of Pa, Lebanon Valley College, Millersville University, York College, Indiana Univeristy of Pennsylvania, Penn State University and Susquehanna University.

Riders competed in all ten divisions.

During a recent meeting Captain CJ Giacomini, ‘12, said “We have an awesome team set-up this year and I believe

we can do really well”. After the two shows the team accumulated a total of 32 points. Several riders were counted as point riders, meaning that their place points counted towards the teams overall points.

At the Sun, Sept. 25 show these riders included: Jessica Middleberg ‘14, Alexi James ‘13, Stephanie Walker ‘15, Ashleen McCullough ‘15, and CJ Giacomini ‘12. All of the points added up to a total of 11 points.

Co-Captain Allie Veach ‘14 agrees with Giacomini, saying “We are doing really well at our shows and hopefully we can keep the positive energy going.” At the Sun, Oct. 2 show the team totaled 21 points.

The next show will be hosted by Wilson on Sat, Nov. 12 in the Hawthorne Arena.

Annual Arts Day Encourages Interdisciplinary Creativity

theArtsReview

by Nichole Morris

During the fall, the College has one day when the campus is filled with many activities relating to the interdisciplinary arts, called Arts Day. This year, Arts Day was held on Wed, Oct. 5. Activities took place in Lenfest Commons and Lortz Hall as well as outdoors. The activities started around 10:00am and lasted the entire day. An email of the Arts Day schedule went out to the campus with a schedule of events.

Throughout Arts Day, students, faculty, staff and visitors had a chance to view exhibits, workshops and performances.

Participants had the option of starting off Arts Day at Lortz Hall where student’s exhibits were displayed. Mary Hochendoner’s paintings were also on display in the Bogigian Gallery.

In Lenfest Commons, the lobby was set up with many activities. At the Farm, Food and Ethics table, participants could color animal pictures, make origami and eat vegan

“Drizzy” Drake Raps for Real This Time in Take Care

by April C Davila

For all those Drake lovers out there expect his new album Take Care to hit stores on Mon, Oct. 24. The rap world and Drake fanatics are raving about his upcoming sophomore album. It has been over a year since his last album Thank Me Later.

This new album is a rebuttal concerning the hip-hop world’s doubts on his style of rapping. “I might be too strung out on compliments/overdosed on confidence/Started not to give a F--- and stop fearing the consequences” are the newest lyrics that have hip-hop artists wanting to collaborate with Drake. Take Care leaves the listeners feeling that Drake’s fast rise to fame and publicity make the album worth the listen for the real meaning behind his sudden change of style.

Fans everywhere had the opportunity to listen to the hit first single “Headlines” from his very own website three weeks before he confirmed Take Care’s release date. “Headlines” leaves listeners with a better understanding of the Canadian biracial singer’s experiences in the past year. According to MTV.com, he describes a story where he was pulled out of his vehicle at gunpoint and that he was “misunderstood as a Jewish black rapper.” This album gives a new view of Drake since his last leading single “Best I ever had” played on airwaves over a year ago.

The album features hit artists like Rick Ross and Wacka Flocka. Drake raps alongside Rick Ross, better known for his song, “Hustling” and rapper

by Samantha Klopp

Wacka Flocka, whose mediocre hits repeate terms that degrade women and flaunt jewelry and money. In fact, the popularity of this album grew before it hit shelves because artists from dubstep, trance and house music genres remixed some of Drake’s songs. Drake is “Flattered that people want to remix my music,” he says on Billboard.com.

Drake does not sing much; instead he focuses on spitting out rhyme after rhyme. At times his rapping is inept. He misses the chance to flow in “Marvin’s Room” and instead you are focused on the sadness of his voice. It strikes the listener that his rapping is stilted, focused on referring to women as “Bi---”, using a juvenile rap sound to fit the drunk mood.

“Drizzy,” Drake’s other single that was leaked out on YouTube, “Money Can Buy,” sounds like every other rapper before him. Instead of confronting those that disliked him for singing about love, he followed the crowd of rappers in which he spits out lyrics that deny the chance for change in the rap world. With lyrics like “Got car money/ fresh start money/ I want Saudi money/I want art money,” the greatest R&B singer since Usher just turned mediocre.

The anticipation of Drake’s album, Take Care, has many wondering where the old R&B singer has gone. “There is no old Drake. There is no new Drake. There is just a guy who makes amazing music,” Drake confirms to Billboard Magazine.

Serial Fiction Winden Woods, Part One

Won’t he be surprised, she thought, smiling at her resolve. She was pleased she had followed through on this impromptu trip and with her decision to step away from her usual self reservation. After all, she had not seen or heard from Jeremy in weeks and this little visit might lift his spirits.

The forest surrounding her was silent that day, perhaps a result of the sudden chill in the air that arrived overnight. She paused in her stride to adjust her coat, taking the opportunity to glance at the mid-October scenery which encased the winding gravel trail. Broad oaks, their leaves turning a deep russet, stood amongst an expanse of maples and birches painted in bright reds and yellows. Large pines were scattered amid all, tops swaying in the cool breeze of the afternoon. Despite the warm heat of the sun on her back, Jenna shivered and tugged her hood up over her head.

The Domestic Violence Awareness table featured puzzle painting for the theme, “Picking up the Pieces.” The Office of Student Activities had a Color for Fun station, where participants colored pictures and designed tee shirts with markers and alcohol. Outside of Lenfest there were paintings that participants could contribute their artistic skills to for the Friends of the Department of Fine Arts and Dance. The weather cooperated with the outdoor activities. In front of the John Stewart Memorial Library, there was the Drawing Inside a Camera Obscura activity.

Other activities on campus included postcard designing at Norland Hall and Raku pottery firing at Edgar Hall. At the Fulton Center for Sustainable Living, there was an Art of Farming activity, where the Fulton Farm invited photographers to capture the scenery. Additionally in Jenson Dining Hall, pianist Michael Coles of Shippensburg University played as students and faculty dined.

The community extends a huge “thank you” to Prof. Philip Lindsey for administering yet another great Arts Day.

once more, she began to glimpse the stone chimney of Jeremy’s cabin peering out between the trees, emitting slow, transparent streams of smoke into the sky. She pondered once more over Jeremy’s attachment to the old family cabin and its isolation, but as he had never brought the matter up, her musings were left without base. Perhaps it was something they could talk about...

New Korean Restaurant Serves Up Spicy Flavors to Chambersburg

by Shin Young Lee Korean Bulgogi House, a Korean restaurant, opened recently in Chambersburg, gives Wilson students a chance to enjoy exotic foods.

Korean women, Juni Kim and Connie Lim who came to the U.S. a few decades ago decided to start their business in August. The restaurant’s name is inspired by “Bulgogi,” which is traditional Korean pork. Bulgogi is barbecued which has sweet flavor.

Korean food is still very unfamiliar to the Chambersburg community, but chef Lim is proud of her food. “Many people think Korean food is the same as Chinese food, but it’s not true. If you visit a Chinese restaurant, you can taste the difference. Chinese food is usually fried using a lot of oil which can cause obesity. We usually grill our food.” During grilling, food loses all of its fat.

In addition, Korean Bulgogi House provides homemade Kimchi. Kimchi is the most popular Korean food and is eaten almost every day, and is similar to American’s taste for bread. However making Kimchi is not easy.

It is a fermented food, so it takes a long time. Plus, in Chambersburg, it is difficult to get ingredients. “At first, it was hard to make Kimchi because for our restaurant, it requires cooking over 300 cabbages. But Kimchi is an important Korean food, which is why I cook Kimchi every three weeks,” Lim said.

“I love cooking and my mom who still lives in my hometown, Seoul runs a small restaurant. I’ve left my home country, but I wanted to cook authentic Korean foods. My friend of 17 years, Connie and I decided to start a business in Chambersburg where many Korean people live,” Lim says Every year, some Korean exchange students come to stay in Chambersburg. When Kim and Lim started their business, they planned for their targets to be Korean people, but now they appeal to Americans as well. Lim says, “Our food can be called fusion. I’ve lived here for over 20 years. I’m familiar with Korean foods and American foods as well.

My appetite has two cultures.” Their latest original creation is a soybean chicken dish. Instead of a hot and spicy flavor, Lim made a sweet sauce with soybeans.

Iris McLane ‘13 says “I often go to the Korean Bulgogi House, because it’s near to my house and chef Connie is friendly. I don’t like spicy foods, but I love their Bulgogi Quesadilla and Bibimbap.” Bibimbap is a healthy mix of cooked rice and vegetables, and according to Kim, is one of their most famous dishes. More information can be found on the “Korean Bulgogi House” Facebook page. Visit the Bulgogi House at 408 West Loudon St, Chambersburg, PA 17201.

Give Me Your Money and More Demands from New York City

by Shin Young Lee

During fall recess, I went to New York City (NYC) with some friends.

We tried to save money so we took the Megabus which is very cheap, but took a long time compared to an airplane.

Even though it took a long time, I was dreaming of going to NYC. Do you know the drama, Sex and the City? In this drama, four main characters lived in NYC and enjoyed their single life. I know dramas are an exaggeration and sometimes distort reality. However, most Korean girls (of course including me!) love “Sex and the City” and admire NYC. With this admiration, I eagerly arrived in NYC at 1:00am.

After I stepped off the bus, I realized Broadway smelled terrible. Huge electronic displays and scoreboards sparkled in the night, but the streets looked dreary. The only people who welcomed me were homeless. I wanted to go my hotel, but I wanted to save money. I decided to take the bus again.

The problem is there are a lot of buses and the information box was already closed. There also weren’t many passengers on the buses to help.

At this moment, a kind looking man came up to me. He explained the

directions. I said “thank you so much” and I turned my face. Then he gently smiled and opened his mouth again. “I’m homeless. Give me some money.”

He was asking me for “fare” money. I was so surprised. In Korea, there are many homeless people like in NYC, but they never talk to passengers.

They do not ask for money but wait for passengers to donate money. I was trying to avoid the homeless man. Then, he followed me! He asked for money over and over again. I finally gave him some coins without counting them. At last he said “Oh, it’s not enough. You should give me more money.” I ran away from him.

I used to imagine “luxurious” aspects of NYC, but I was shocked that it was not what I thought. Still I do not know what the real face of NYC and the U.S. From this experience, I realized other faces of the city that I did not expect. I am not sure how to explain these faces, but now I can confront them.

Sept. 12 was an important public holiday called ‘Chuseok’ in South Korea. Chuseok is a Korean version of Thanksgiving Day. Unlike in U.S., where we celebrate on the fourth Thursday of November, Korean Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Thus, Korean Chuseok’s date changes every year.

Korean Thanksgiving is three consecutive holidays. Before starting the first day of the holiday, people visit their hometowns, specifically their grandparents’ house or their eldest family members’ house.

On the first day, families prepare food together. In contrast to the U.S.

Koreans make crescent shaped rice cakes called “Songpyun.” In addition, they prepare meat, fish, walnuts, persimmons, pears and apples. These are offered to the Gods and the Ancestors as a ceremony.

The biggest difference with the U.S. is a memorial service for ancestors to thank them for a bountiful harvest. On the second day, Koreans worship their ancestors during morning ceremonies at their homes or they visit their ancestor’s graves with their family. Some people wear Korean traditional clothes to honor their ancestors. At night, Koreans wish upon the full moon.

On the last day, people visit their maternal grandparents.

New Spanish Teaching Assistant Ready New Career Center Director Brings Digital for New Adventures in the United States Innovation to Career Seeking Strategies

by Jyotsna Dhakal

Jaqueline Ramírez is the new Teaching Assistant (TA) for Spanish classes.

Ramírez comes from Villa de Alvarez, Colima, a small city in Mexico. She has never lived away from her country. She decided to go abroad because of her future goals.

“I always wanted to be an English teacher but after this experience I am considering the possibility to teach Spanish to foreign language students, too.”

The biggest difficulty for her in the United States is missing the spicy Mexican food.

She also misses some of the festivities and traditions.

Ramírez explains her favorite thing about American culture is, “the diversity.”

“Americans respect others itself without matter of their likes, way of dress, and even features,” she says. She has had an im-

pressionable experience while traveling in the United States.

“Everywhere in the U.S. there are native Spanish speakers, not only from Mexico but also from other countries of South America.

Now that I have had the opportunity to travel to New York and Boston I found many native Spanish speakers who are living here. And some of the advertisements are not just in English but also in Spanish.”

Ramírez teaches Spanish classes from elementary to intermediate levels. She has a conversation class, which is a group study for Spanish class students. In this group, she checks the students’ pronunciation and talks about cultural things. She also leads Spanish Club, the Spanish Table and movie time. Ramírez is taking History, Structure of English Language and Educational Psychology classes.

She explains how Wilson College is different from her university at home.

“Wilson College has different things. Students have the freedom in many things such as deciding their courses each semester, living at the college which is a great experience that helps them to interact and make friendships with other people.

They are involved in extra activities such as clubs and fellowships.”

As she explained her experiences, she strongly recommends that others take a Spanish class next semester. Ramírez says, “It seems that Spanish is becoming a popular and useful language in the U.S.A. Study with me. Mucho gusto!”

Wilson College recently welcomed its newest member of the Office of Student Development, Jay Pfeiffer, who is the new director of Career Services at Wilson.

Pfeiffer brings with him a broad range of experience. He completed the Counseling and College Student Personnel Masters Program at Shippensburg University, and has worked at both state institutions and liberal arts colleges in the field of advising and career development.

Pfeiffer’s own experience while going through different careers made him a believer in the transferability of skills from one job to another and piqued his interest in career development.

Pfeiffer believes a lot of the pre-existing programs in Wilson, including internship programs and grad school presentations, are vital to any career program, and he intends to give them continuity.

“At the same time, I plan to bring new things, adding my own personal touch to the services offered,” he says.

As a new initiative Pfeiffer started implementing Career Exploration.

Due to a lack of career exploration tools, Pfeiffer implemented the FOCUS online assessment tools.

The online assessment tools look at interests, values and personality, also taking in traditional things like Myers Briggs and the Holland Code, and integrates the information to give students ideas of where to look in terms of majors here at Wilson and what they can do with those majors.

Pfeiffer also began a workshop series under which one program is held every week in Wilson at two different times. The workshops cover a wide range of topics from career exploration to job search.

Besides Career Exploration, Pfeiffer created “Wilson College Professional Network,” a professional group on LinkedIn.com as a meeting place for Wilson staff, students, faculty and alumni, as well as a resource for students.

The orientation process gave Pfeiffer a chance to work with the new students, an experience he remembers fondly. He believes students can best benefit from active participation in programs offered by student development.

He often observes that students wait until their senior year to prepare their résumés.

“They try to fit four years into two days,” he says.

He considers it incredibly important for students to take advantage of career resources from their very first days at college. These resources, he says, help students explore their options and find a field that fits them.

Even students who have declared majors can be reassured that they are making the right decision and get other options for minors, hobbies or internships.

Pfeiffer seeks to better enhance students’ experience and hopes to be accepted and appreciated at Wilson.

“I hope I can give back to the community as much as they’ve given me already,” he adds.

Scott Stanley, joined staff as the new Science Lab Manager on Aug. 8.

As the new Manager, Stanley will assist faculty in a variety of ways. He will be responsible for ordering supplies, maintaining inventories on supplies, preparing and breaking down labs. He will also be responsible for helping to maintain safety and compliance with government regulations.

When asked what his presence means for students, Stanley

responded, “I think there will be more time with instructors. Instead of having to mix solutions, faculty will be able to better guide students.” The Science Lab Manager position was incorporated to take some pressure off of faculty members and to give them more time to devote to meeting with students.

Stanley currently lives in Harrisburg, and before being hired, Stanley worked for the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Stanley holds two Bachelor’s Degrees from the University of Kansas, one in Biology and the other in Entomology and Apiculture.

Comparing the University of Kansas to Wilson, Stanley described Wilson as, “A little different but a good different. Everything is a little more familiar. Here, once you get integrated, things are easier to accomplish than at a bigger campus.”

In addition to a lab manager, Stanley is also an avid beekeeper. He

recently transported four colonies of bees from Kansas all the way to Wilson’s Fulton Farm. Through beekeeping, Stanley traveled internationally to many foreign countries.

Performing teaching assignments for the U.S. Agency for International Development, Stanley traveled to Nigeria, Haiti, Azerbaijan and Lebanon. While abroad, Stanley operated as a beekeeping trainer, instructing everything from basic beekeeping to investigating bee death.
