Academic Calendar Brings Adjustments for Spring Registration Day

by Laura B. Hans On Sat, Oct. 22 the Office of the Registrar sent out an all-campus email describing changes to the academic calendar for 2011-17.

The most immediate change is that classes will begin at 8:00am on Mon, Jan. 23, 2012 instead of at 6:00pm. Therefore, most students will begin classes a day earlier.

Initially, the first Monday of the semester, Registration Day, is a day where students could take care of administrative tasks such as going to the Financial Aid Office or the Business Offices. Students had the opportunity to speak with faculty advisors, academic administrators, current students and other new students. Students could also obtain housing information, buy their books and pick up their I.D. cards. The Registrar attempted to remedy this problem by remaining open later on Mon, Jan. 24. They, along with the Business Office and Student Development, will stay open until 6:30pm that day.

Some students are concerned that without free time on the first day, they will not complete necessary tasks. “I, and a lot of people have meetings that day: work study, scholars, equitation classes/barn, business office and financial aid, advisors etc. And, some people can’t move in until then like I had to this semester because of the hurricane. I know they think we do nothing on that day, but a lot happens…How are we suppose to do all that and go to class?,” says Amanda Day ‘12.

Nicole Musser ‘13 explained that having extra time on Registration

Day was important as last year she could not move into her suite until she completed tasks at the Financial Aid office. “It feels rushed and some people are busy enough just making sure they’re registered properly.

You also have to be able to get all of your books on time,” she says.

The change was made because there was an issue maintaining the number of “contact hours,” or academic hours in the classroom.

The minimum number of contact hours is 42-45 hours per semester.

However, other days play a role in limiting this amount, such as Arts Day, the Orr Forum and Dean’s Day, for example. These days may be educational in nature, but leave

students short on contact time.

“Days like Dean’s day and snow closures are some things that were not educational days, but faculty were getting concerned with how to cram all of the material into less time,” Jean Hoover of the Registrar Office says.

The changes in the academic calendar also affect the J-term courses, as there is an overlap in the schedule. J-term courses end on Jan. 29, while spring term courses begin on Jan. 23. “It’s not a terrible burden, though it would be better if we could avoid it. Students don’t want to be writing final papers for a J-Term class as their new classes begin; faculty don’t want

to grade final papers for a J-Term class as their new classes begin,” says Asst. Prof. of Philosophy, John Elia, who teaches the J-term course Ethical Issues Today.

“I’d like to see Wilson move to a May-Term (or Maymester, as it is sometimes called) model to replace our current January-Term. The spring semester could be moved up to keep us on schedule with other colleges and universities. As a result, we would finish the semester earlier, which would give working, traditional students additional time to earn money over the summer break. Moreover, a MayTerm would be more conducive to study abroad and intensive outdoor courses,” Elia says.

This coming spring semester, Commencement will occur prior to the date that final grades are due. Therefore, unlike prior years, actual diplomas will not be given out during commencement, but students will be handed a diploma cover. According to Hoover, most schools do this. Diplomas will be mailed to students 3-4 weeks following Commencement.

The Registrar should consider both student’s and professor’s opinions while changing the academic calendar. According to the projected calendar, after next year, the J-term overlap will not occur until 2015, but classes will continue to begin on Monday at 8:00am. The academic calendar is found on the Wilson College website at http://www. wilson.edu/calendars/index.aspx.

Editorial “Great Firewall” Leads to Stricter Internet Censorship

by Laura B. Hans

Get ready for big changes on the Internet, if the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Enforcing and Protecting American Rights Against Sites Intent on Theft and Exploitation Act (E-PARASITE) are enforced.

These bills would dramatically increase U.S. Internet censorship.

They would hold Internet service providers (ISPs) and search engines responsible for removing websites that host pirated or trademarked material from the Internet at the request of the government or courts without due process. If pirated or trademarked material were hosted, it would be considered a felony.

Companies could also cut off advertising money to sites they say are hosting pirated materials.

Additionally, the bills could order search engines to cut off sites that have been blacklisted from their results.

Currently, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)

If SOPA and E-PARASITE are enforced, it will kill net neutrality Photo by Laura B. Hans

technologies which evade copyright laws are banned. That means, ISPs like YouTube have the responsibility to take down material a copyright holder says is posted without permission. Therefore, YouTube removes videos after copyright holders complain. The

DMCA provides a safe harbor for companies like YouTube, which, in good faith, remove infringing content from their sites, but the new bills would undermine this.

The ISPs would also have to scrupulously monitor their user’s behavior to be sure copyright

they will learn different languages…that or be exposed to more languages,” Dua says.

“I know Twi, Ga, French and English,” she says but hopes to learn Spanish soon. Adding, “exposure to more languages is great.”

Kotchaphorn Magkalaphiban ‘15, from Thailand, says that she hopes to learn the sound of other countries poetry. People attending the Muhibbah dinner were able to hear poetry in her native Thai language.

“The poetry was almost sing song, it was very beautiful,” expressed Jaqueline Ramirez ‘11 for the Thai reading at the Muhibbah Sampler.

The poem was well received by those in attendance for Muhibbah

Sampler. “I feel a little special that I am the first Thai student. I insist that other students, not only Muhibbah members, participate in the poetry reading,” Magkalaphiban adds, “Everyone should attend everything that Wilson offers for free, it’s a very diverse campus, but you cannot experience diversity if you do not attend.”

“A special thanks are due to each and all participants... to President Barbara Mistick… to all those wonderful students,-foreign and national—who took the time to read and listen to poetry and many languages…made this experience an opportunity to encounter,” Córdova said.

International Poetry Reading Brings Language to Life

by April C. Davila

Despite a snow storm in October, Prof. of Spanish, José Hernán Córdova hosted the International Multicultural Poetry Reading on Sat, Nov. 12 at 3:30pm in Norland Parlor.

The poetry reading represented a total of twelve different languages.

Ayorkor Dua ‘14, a student from Ghana says “I did it last year, and it was so much fun and it should be much more interesting this year because this year we have more girls from other countries.”

The Wilson community was encouraged to attend the free event.

There are several new international students from Pakistan, Thailand and Nepal, participated this year.

infringement does not occur.

This is a major problem for websites with user-generated content like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, SoundCloud, eBay, Flicker or Wikipedia.

Facebook is a website at risk of shut-down. Could you imagine if Facebook had to police everything that was posted? If a user posted a film clip, or a video clip from a nationally broadcasted sports game, or even a video of themselves singing a cover song on their Facebook page, it would be a felony.

What can we do instead? Increase access to content. This initially happened through iTunes then Hulu, Netflix and now Spotify. As long as they are free or affordable and legal, the public can enjoy media and copyrights can be maintained.

Students Speak Up About Technology Updates for Disert Hall

by April C. Davila

The hall computers need an upgrade and the computers in the dorm room halls run slower than the recently upgraded computers. Among those computers, the library’s computers are the fastest on campus. Working printers are also in high demand this semester.

Disert Hall’s computer printers are causing many complaints for some residents. Printers in the second floor are often low on ink, but not many residents say it is a setback. Kayla Croft ‘13, a Disert resident says, “It is exercise having to walk myself to Sarah’s. It does not bother me that the computer printers are not working.”

Many students say that the dorm hall computers are slow, so they structure their time around as many things they can do in one trip to Sarah’s Coffeehouse. “My roommate and I text each other, and if I happen to need to print anything we do each other the favor of printing for whoever is out,” adds Croft.

“Residents should always be willing to go to their R.A.s.... If people request that they are in need of paper or ink, we make sure that we meet those needs,” Cathy Smedley ‘12, the Resident Advisor (R.A.) for the third floor of Disert Hall, says. Students are encouraged to talk to the R.A.s not only once, but three times and can even check with the physical plant or the

I.T. department for any problems regarding dormitory equipment.

“One of our top priorities is classrooms…where it is affecting the learning in a classroom.” says Kevin Gallagher, one of I.T.’s personell.

Renovations are important to move towards more technological services on campus, but “It all comes down to the budget year… [how much] is in the budget, but as far as software goes that all gets done during the summer,” says Gallagher.

The halls get an average of two to three complaints a semester. These complaints increase as the college gets closer to finals. “It is not the R.A.’s fault, nor I.T. We just need to learn to work with what we have,” says Smedley “There hasn’t been many complaints,” says Gallagher, but a Disert resident who chose anonymity begs to differ saying, “I asked for a written work order over two times, and yet nothing has been done.” The source adds, “I am staying up until 1:00am or 2:00am sometimes I do not want to forget to print my work for class later, but when I find no working printers or paper, it’s a huge inconvenience to me.”

“We are a community, we want to be there for the students, but if no one speaks up, well nothing is ever going to get fixed,” said Smedley.

Continued from page 10 informs everyone how awful any marriage is, the father of the bride steals everyone’s spoons, the best man tries to work on a new advertising campaign for his firm with his employee and the bride disappears for long periods of time. Things get stranger, much stranger in the second half when the rogue planet should pass by Earth in five days. Or will it just pass by?

One is led to believe the strange behavior of everyone is motivated by fluctuations in gravitational forces or atmospheric change, but knowing the director’s M.O., his characters would probably still act crazy with or without an eminent apocalypse.

Dunst, who became von Trier’s third leading lady to take home the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival, walks through the film in a cryptic, dazed mood that is on the point of irritating if only it was not for her whispered doomsday prophecies. While not nearly as fearless a

performance as Charlotte Gainsbourg’s, who plays Dunst’ sister Claire in Melancholia, turn in von Trier’s previous film Antichrist, the former Spiderman co-star ‘brings it on’ in a role most younger actresses would have turned down.

Von Trier, a Danish filmmaker renowned for his hatred of America and his handling of actors on the set (Björk refuses to make another film after emotional and physical abuse on the set of Dancer in the Dark) creates depressing, but evocative atmospheres unlike any director currently working. If you can’t handle bleakness in film then you should just skip anything from his canon. But if you like artistic, deliberately paced films then I highly recommend Melancholia as it is the directors most accessible work and based off your opinion of this film will determine if you like his style. Von Trier is a definite case of love him or loathe him.

Jennings Chevrolet Visits Campus for 2012 Volt Demonstration

Franklin Renewable Energy Group members test drive the new 2012 Chevy Volt during a demonstration in front of the Brooks Science Center Photo by Ashley Wetzel

Jennings Chevrolet dealer, Allen Frantz, visited campus during the Franklin Renewable Energy Group (FRE) meeting on Mon, Oct. 10 to demonstrate the new 2012 Chevy Volt. During the demonstration, Franz gave FRE members and community members the opportunity to test drive the newest model of the electric car.

The Chevy Volt is a plug-in hybrid car which was named “2011 Motor Trends Car of the Year” by Motor Trend magazine. According to the Chevrolet website, the Volt is a full performance and full speed electric vehicle. The Volt operates on both battery and gasoline. The Volt runs approximately 35 miles on a fully charged battery. While running on battery, the Volt is totally gas and emissions free. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates 35 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. The Volt has a battery that powers the electric drive unit, which allows for full vehicle speed and acceleration.

The Volt is a medium sized sedan with a standard vehicle price of $39,145. However, thanks to its energy efficiency, the Volt receives be-

tween $7,500 and $11,000 in tax credit depending on state standards.

During the demonstration, Frantz mentioned a number of perks that come with the Volt. When only utilizing the battery option of the car, a private owner would only ever have to fill their gas tank every six months.

After six months of the gas sitting in the pressurized tank, the gas begins to go bad and the car is signaled to use the gas. The average consumption of gas per person in the United States is 500 gallons. With a 9.3 gallon tank, the Volt could easily decrease natural gas consumption. As well, with an average commuting distance of 16 miles, the Volt’s 35 mile battery life eliminates gas usage for many career commuters. Over five years, the average consumer could save over $7,600 in fuel costs. Using only battery life, the savings could be much larger.

The Volt can be plugged into a regular household socket to charge.

Charge time is dependent on the voltage of the socket. In a 120 volt socket, it could take eight hours to charge. If using a 240 volt socket, it can take as little as four hours to charge. In the next year, Sheetz, the gas station chain, is hoping to have 440 volt charging units incorporated into their stations that could charge the Volt in 30 minutes or less. The approximated cost for charging the Volt is $1.50. This represents a reduction in transportation costs by more than half.

The Volt demonstration took place during the third monthly meeting of the Franklin Renewable Energy Group. This demonstration was arranged

by FRE committee member, Wayne Mackey, who recently purchased his own 2012 Chevy Volt. As a proponent for both solar energy and renewable energy, Mackey seemed very pleased with his purchase and was very excited about powering his Volt with his own solar energy.

When asked about his opinion on his new car, Mackey claimed, “Every time I drive this car, it’s like having a love affair. When driving by a gas station, I get to say ‘Hi gas station, bye gas station.’” Mackey believes that switching to electric powered cars or plug-in hybrids is just one of the many steps we need to prevent further environmental damage.

Students Explore Korean Culture During Study Abroad Info Session

by Shin Young Lee

Twelve students interested in studying abroad gathered together for the Bahrom International Program (BIP) information session on Tues, Nov 1. Chaplain Rosie Magee and Dean of Students, Carolyn Perkins, who participated in BIP this summer and three years ago, also attended.

BIP is a study abroad program in Seoul Women’s University, South Korea that takes place every summer. For four weeks, students stay in a dormitory, take classes in the morning and experience Korean culture such as cooking traditional Korean food and travelling to historic sites.

“BIP is a well-organized program. All programs, including classes, are based on English. Staff and top-notch professors do not give away free time. Staff and RAs already have plans, and they try to make opportunities to get to know each other,” Rosie said. Even though, students want to experience other countries, there are limited opportunities with safe and organized programs. If someone participates in BIP, they can get obtain transferable credits at Wilson College.

A participation fee of $200.00 covers meals, classes and trips. Students do not need to pay any additional fees with the exception of their flight ticket. “I have always wanted to travel abroad, and when I heard about BIP, I figured I should look into it. It’s affordable and doesn’t interfere with school,” says Elizabeth Boratenski ‘13. Boratenski has four years of experience in Taekwondo, Korean traditional martial arts. Learning about South Korea from Taekwondo and her enthusiasm to experience new cultures helped influence her decision.

Four Korean students that participated in BIP this summer also attended the information session. Magee is pleased to see Wilson students’

enthusiasm in travelling to Korea.

“Today we watched the BIP video in the info session. It reminds me of BIP memories. American students and I prepared a dance performance and we got prizes. I miss this summer. Next year I will go back to Korea and I’m planning to be on staff for the next BIP trip. I hope I see Wilson students in Korea again,” Suji Han ‘12 said.

Students can register for BIP by attaching their photo and $200 participation fee to the application. Students interested in BIP can contact Melanie Gregg, at mgregg@wilson.edu or Magee at rosie.magee@wilson. edu.

Serial Fiction...

Winden Woods: Part Two

Within five minutes, she found herself standing in front of the small, one-story log structure, its appearance weathered, but in remarkably good condition for being over fifty-years-old. As she made her way to the cabin’s side door, she noted, with curious interest, that while the warm glow of lights echoed inside the building, they were muffled by dark curtains thrown over all visible windows. Suddenly apprehensive, she stood in front of the door, hand suspended in the act of knocking, and nearly panicked over the thought of what she would say to him. She flushed slightly, embarrassed at her timidity, then gathered her courage and gave the door a few hard raps.

There was a flurry of movement from inside the cabin, coupled with various clatters and a sound she distinctly recognized as a chair falling to the floor. The door jerked open, and there stood Jeremy, breathing heavily, his pale face giving him a ghostly appearance. Dark circles rimmed the bottom of his wide hazel eyes, and he looked as though he hadn’t slept in days. Jenna stood frozen in the entryway, startled by the emergence of such ghastly vision, and was momentary at a loss for words. She was about to ask him what was wrong, but was wrapped in an embrace before the words could come out. After a short while he released her, a shaken smile on his ghoulish face.

“Surprise,” she choked out, her voice cracking in a mixture of fear and confusion. She silently cursed herself over the apparent stupidity of her actions. If Jeremy recognized her emotions, he gave no acknowledgement.

“Jen! God, I’m glad to see you! I was afraid that--" His rapid, breathy sentence cut off abruptly, and his gaze grew distant and fell into the woods behind her. Then, without warning, it focused back on her with such alarm and intensity that she shivered. “You have to go now,” he began, “if they see you--" “What are you talking about? What’s going on?” she interrupted, but he waved the comment away. “There’s not enough time to explain,” came his hurried response, “you just have to trust me!”

She attempted once again to say something, but was grabbed by the arm and thrust through the open doorway, into the living room, and out through the back door. While the disarray of the cabin’s interior only had seconds to register in her mind, they screamed out that something was definitely amiss. She turned around to face him again, but Jeremy had already retreated into the house, closing the door harshly behind him.

She stood there momentarily, trying to make sense of what happened, when she heard a noise from the trail she had been on not minutes before: a mixture of mumbled voices and twigs snapping under pressure.

Bernecker Earns Conference Soccer Honors

by Caileigh Oliver

There is a reason the soccer team gave Courtney Bernecker ‘14 the nickname “Fancy Feet.”

At the beginning of November, the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) announced their All-Conference women’s soccer teams for the 2011 season. Bernecker was named to the All-Conference Second Team as a midfielder.

“I was excited and happy all the hard work paid off,” stated Bernecker. “I felt lucky to be recognized.”

Bernecker’s quick footwork on the field helped her score seven goals and assist two team mates in scoring this past season.

To choose the teams, the NEAC examines the performances of all the players in the conference, and ranks them based on performance, with chances of being named to

“I am excited and very proud of Courtney. She works extremely hard and has made a huge impact on our team. She deserves this recognition for her efforts,” stated Head Soccer Coach Beth Weixel.

The last soccer player to earn a NEAC All-Conference honor was Colleen O’Reilly ‘12 in 2008.

other, the players are improving with every practice.

“As we work together more we become better as a team, and we are starting to find our rhythm,” said Lyons.

The season opener will be Sat, Nov. 19, at Vassar College, where they will play in a tournament against Wellesley College, Cedar Crest College and Vassar College.

“With all the new talent combined with our returning players, I am excited to kick off our season,” stated Grove.

The home opener is at 5:00pm on Tue, Nov. 22 at the Frank E. Gannett Memorial Field House, against Chatham University.

Soccer Team Says Fond Farewell to Three Senior Players

by Hannah DeMoss and Megan Longstreet

This year theWilson College Soccer team must part with three phenomenal players.

Colleen “Pink Lightning” O’ Reilly ‘12, a four year starter, served not only as a crucial offensive force but also as team captain this year.

Her ability to battle through her injuries became one of her finest attributes, and her drive to excel on the field served as an inspiration. The flash of pink before every shot will be remembered by all of her opponents.

Her excellent practice attire -especially her monkey, cow and four leaf clover shorts - were the heart of many jokes, conversations, and good times. The absence of her tireless antics will leave practices a little quieter in the seasons to come but memories with her will always last.

Laura “Angry Eyes” Beck ‘12 joined the Wilson College Soccer Team her sophomore year. Having never played soccer before, she came in a little apprehensive and not sure what to except.

Over the last three years Beck has excelled in the sport of

soccer beyond anyone’s expectations. She is a crucial factor in the defensive game, and has been known to shove around an opponent or two. The team will never forget the fear in the eyes of her opponents after watching her rocket the ball down the field using her massive “guns.”

Beck, although tough and intense on the field, has a soft side.

With her extensive collection of

ducks and husband Frank “the goal post,” she is sure to settle into the domestic life rather easily. She will be missed by all who have played with her, especially the flat back four, and will always remain part of the soccer family.

Alyssa “Four Gears” Bernard also joined in her sophomore year. Although rather hesitant and unsure of her abilities, she was easily con-

vinced to return for a second and third season here on Wilson’s soccer team.

In her junior year she was quoted saying, “I enjoy the team part, but I’m not sure about the soccer.” By the end of her senior season, Bernard was a “beast” on the field and was told she looked like a “real” soccer player. At her last game, with glistening eyes and tears rolling down her cheeks, she proclaimed that she did love soccer!

She is not the only Bernard the team is losing; as she will be taking her “husband,” Timmie the soccer ball, with her as well.

Her storytelling abilities can never be matched, and she will leave the team without some of the simple joys in life, such as how awesome her “creeper skills” were . One of the team’s fondest memories will be early mornings with her playing her bubbly ring tone that never failed to wish the team a “good morning.”

Bernard also served as an offensive threat, with an uncanny ability to move the ball up the field no matter how many opponents tried to stop her. Her bubbly attitude and her drive to succeed and to be the best athlete possible will be sorely missed by her team and coaches.

Twin Atlantic Revives Pop-Rock with Passionate Album Free

by Brooke Ketron

While North American pop-rock bands are drowning in unoriginality, an underground quartet from Glasgow, Scotland is breathing life to the genre.

After rising to popularity in the United Kingdom, Twin Atlantic released their first full-length album, Free, produced by Gil Norton (Jimmy Eat World, Bayside, Foo Fighters) on May 2, 2011.

The opening track, “Edit Me,” proves that Twin Atlantic’s sound is closely related to the pop-rock bands of the United States. Taking cues from Jimmy Eat World and The Starting Line, the stadium quality of the song highlights the moral of freeing yourself from the limitations of society.

Momentum picks up with the second track, “Time For You to Stand Up.” Vocalist Sam McTrusty describes the need for personal independence through his thick Scottish accent with lyrics like “You say you want distance from me/Well don’t stand so close.” Tracks three and four, “Apocalyptic Renegade” and “Yes, I Was Drunk,” follow in these footsteps - speaking of freeing yourself from the past and conquering new journeys, but both lack a strong hook that a faithful pop-rock fan is waiting for.

Twin Atlantic remedies any disappointment with the aptly named title song, “Free.” Boasting a larger than life sound, “Free” emphasizes the individual struggle for peace and independence. Finally, McTrusty delivers an unforgettable hook, “I set my body on fire so I could be free” between climactic guitar riffs. This energetic and hopeful single is precisely what the pop-rock genre needs. With the addition of vocal distortion and ironic use of whispering and screaming, summer anthems like “Make A Beast Of Myself” and “The Ghost of Eddie” create an uncommon identity for Twin Atlantic that bands like All Time Low could never pull off.

8

The band shows their versatility with a slowed acoustic track titled “Crash Land.” With the charming vocals of McTrusty, and soothing sounds of the lullaby-like guitar and violin melodies, “Crash Land” complements the stirring sound of the first half of the album and builds anticipation for the remaining songs, which include an entirely soft-wave musical titled “Serious Underground Dance Waves.”

Free wraps up with the justly named “We Want Better, Man,” a tale about demanding more from the government. Sonically, it goes from a distant McTrusty screaming, as if enticing a crowd, with hectic guitars, to an up close and quiet personal message sung right into your ear. You can almost envision a stirred up crowd silencing right before they revolt.

Twin Atlantic is not shy about their disapproval of the government and invites fans to take notice with the July release of the politically charged Free B-Side, “Sparkly Touch.” McTrusty criticizes the power of the government with the lines, “I’m raging, such hypocrisy/Confuse them, until they can’t agree/Disgusting how you manipulate the masses.”

McTrusty’s innovative writing keeps his unique syllable repetition in time with drummer Craig Kneale’s snare hits on the drum rolls, techniques most American bands have not tried. With the inventive song writing apparent in “Sparkly Touch,” it is a shame it is not included on the original release.

Despite a few hit or miss tracks, Free is a liberating addition to the poprock scene in North America. Twin Atlantic is currently touring the United States, with their last show scheduled for Wed, Nov. 23 at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, Pa.

Orchesis Ensemble Pushes Limits with ‘On Edge - Dances on the Brink’

by Soyoung An The Orchesis ensemble’s performance not only presented a dance, but also delivered a message. On Fri., Nov. 11 and Sat, Nov. 12, Orchesis performed in the Appenzellar-Buchanan Dance Studio. Each dance revealed the dancer’s emotion and the message they wanted to communicate. The dances contained unique attributes such as silence or the use of heavy breathing. The audience and dancers were engaged in the performance with the intimate studio space. The dance studio was filled with curiosity and surprise from the unconventional and artistic dances.

“Actually, it’s too awkward to show the dance without the music.

However, a sound of surrounding made me concentrate on the dancer’s performance rather than any music. I cannot express my feeling through the words. It’s just amazing,” Jiyoon Shin ‘13 said.

President of Orchesis, Briana Doscher ‘12, and Suji Han ‘13 performed Silent Suffrage, a tragedy of a North Korean refugee. The strong emotional appeal kept the audience captivated by the performance. In place of music, a narration was read by Han. “When I researched materials related with North Korea for our performance, I was emotionally impacted. I hope other people experience [this] and it moves their heart,” said Doscher.

The Orchesis ensemble and Advisor to Orchesis, Paula Kellinger, choreographed the performance. The audience appreciated the member’s attention to detail in their choreography.

When the first performance Trio A (the Mind is a Muscle) began, the audience wondered if something was wrong. There was not music or eye contact between the dancer and audience. The audience concentrated only on the dancer’s movement. The dance was unhindered by the lack of music.

The dancer’s breathing, and the natural sounds of her movement created an

exquisite collaboration.

“The music helps movement, but sometimes missing music makes people focus on the dance. It’s mysterious,” Raquel Feliciano ‘12 said. Some people may not understand dances without music. In the modern dance, however, choreography without music is a continuing trend developed by the idea that music can be distracting from the dance.

The Orchesis ensemble used various techniques maintaining the theme of “Dances on the Edge”. The ensemble looks forward to their spring performance, where they hope to continue their successful dances on the brink.

von Trier’s Melancholia and the Infinite Sadness

It’s the end of the world as we know it, but do you feel fine? If you are a character in Lars von Trier’s new film Melancholia then it depends on your mental state. If you’re Kirsten Dunst, a manic depressive newlywed at the film’s beginning, then you’re not too concerned. But, if you are any one else, you should be afraid of the titular rogue planet, twice the size of Earth, heading our way. That is the basic premise of the notoriously independent von Trier’s first foray into the science fiction/disaster film genre.

Broken into two parts (Part one: Justine / Part two: Claire) the film opens with a newlyweds Dunst, playing Justine, and True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard, son of von Trier regular Stellan Scarsgard, comically arriving to a remote manor house for the reception. What begins as a lackluster evening of bland toasts and boring music soon turns into one of the most bizarre and uncomfortable wedding ceremonies in film history. The mother Continued on page 3

Tran’s Abstract Sculptures Dialog with his Vietnamese and Chinese Identity

by Shin Young Lee

Howard Tran’s exhibition is open from Fri, Oct. 27 thru Fri, Dec. 9 at the Bogigian Gallery in Lortz Hall. Once you step into the gallery, a huge sculpture called Hanh Trinh #1 makes you feel surprised. “Hahn Trihn” means “journey” in the Vietnamese language. This sculpture of a woman and man’s figure looks exotic, and Tran’s other art pieces do as well.

Tran is a Vietnamese-American artist. His parents are from Vietnam and they still live there. His grandparents are from China. Almost every year, he takes a trip to Vietnam.

Tran lived in Vietnam during his childhood and still remembers his old house. “Whenever I visit, I realize that Vietnam changes again and again.

Even though I can speak in Vietnamese a little, I feel the gap between my identity and Vietnam. As time goes by, my old memory disappears like my old house in Vietnam disappears,” says Tran. He could not say exactly where his inspiration comes from, but usually, after his trip, he starts to create his work.

“Now I’ve lived in the U.S. more than Vietnam. I can’t say that my identity is Vietnam or American. Still it is difficult to say my identity in one word. To find my identity, I’m doing art work again and again,” Tran said.

His favorite art piece in the gallery is To Tien #21. “To Tien” means “ancestor” in Vietnamese. “To Americans, individualism is strong, but I think a person is not a person. In someone’s mind and spirituality, there is

his or her ancestor’s legacy even though nobody recognizes,” said Tran. He feels his values and emotions change but his ancestors’, existence has an effect on him. “The very bottom face is the biggest and the upper figures are smaller. The bottom face means I and those smaller faces reflect my ancestors. They look tiny, but they exist in my mind,” Tran added while explaining the piece.

His sculptures give various impressions to audiences. “I came to the U.S. when I was 16. I also had the confusion of identity like Howard Tran. During his explanation, I feel his enthusiasm to find his identity,” say Kotchaphorn Mangkalaphiban ‘15.

Howard Tran’s sculpture exhibition is on display at the Bolgigian Gallery in Lortz Hall until Dec. 9. Gallery hours: Mon. – Fri. 9:00am – 5:00pm. For more information contact Professor Philip Tran with his favorite sculpture, To Tien #21 Photo by Shin Young Linsey at plindsey@wilson.edu.

Muhibbah Club Enriches and Entertains Community at Annual Sampler

by Sam Klopp On the evening of Sat, Nov. 5, the Muhibbah Club hosted their annual international dessert sampler in the Jensen Dining Hall. This year the theme was “All Around the World.” Campus and community members alike were in attendance as Muhibbah Club members treated them to a night full of entertainment, sweet treats and cultural experience.

The theme for this year’s sampler was inspired, in part, by a Monopoly game board, which reminded members of travelling through countries, and of the diverse cultures from which each member originated. The final decision, however, came when members realized that no matter what the theme, they were from “all around the world,” and they wanted to effectively share their cultures with their audience.

True to its name, the sampler featured desserts from five different nations, some more familiar in name than others. Incorporated into the menu were crêpes from France, toasted dry coconut from Ghana, churros from Mexico, ras malai from Pakistan and peanut and cinnamon filled pancakes from South Korea.

In addition to offering a taste of the cultures, Muhibbah members also performed and displayed traditional and popular dances, musical performances and poetry readings native to their countries. They offered their audience a chance to be involved, with the opportunity to share travel experiences they had. And at the end of the event, club members invited everyone to take part in a popular American dance, the Cupid Shuffle.

Post Cards from the East

“Is it raining outside? Then why do you wear clothes like that?”, “Are these clothes your traditional clothes?”, “Why don’t you eat chicken or pork?”, “Is it possible that Pakistan and Afghanistan will come together and fight a war against America?”, “Do you speak the Indian language, Hindi, in Pakistan?”, “Where is Pakistan on the globe?”

I, Faryal Mehr, from Pakistan had lots of dreams, expectations and fears before arriving in the United States of America; a country where almost everyone in the world wants to come. I am in a cultural program of the U.S. Department of State. Our placements are random, so I was placed at Wilson College. Wilson has students from almost ten different countries.

Before coming to the U.S., I thought the people might not accept me

Nine countries were represented including South Korea, Pakistan, China, Armenia, Ghana, Mexico, France, Nepal and Thailand.

“The Muhibbah sampler was a great way to introduce different cultures and food to the Wilson community. At first I was apprehensive about trying new foods, but in the end, the desserts were tasty, despite the various and new flavors and textures,” says attendee Elizabeth Boratenski ‘13.

All look forward to Muhibbah’s dinner in the spring semester.

into their society. I thought they would not accept me as their friend. But, I have so many friends here. Those friends have become so close to me as if we have known each other for a long time. The faculty members always appreciate me and encourage me whether it is in my studies or in playing games at Diakon during orientation week. I have enjoyed every moment here. The thing I like the most about Wilson is the respect and acceptance of diversity among their students, though not true for all.

Being the first Pakistani student, I received so much love and care from the Wilson community that I can not imagine leaving next month. I have learned a lot from Wilson. This five month period will always be a golden period of my life. Thank you to everyone for everything you have done!

Which class are you looking forward to taking next spring semester?

Did you know this about Thanksgiving?

•The first Thanksgiving celebration lasted three days.

•The pilgrims didn’t use forks; they ate with spoons, knives, and their fingers.

•Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird of the United States.

•In the US, about 280 million turkeys are sold for the Thanksgiving celebrations.

•The heaviest turkey ever raised was 86 pounds, about the size of a large dog.

•Turkey has more protein than chicken or beef.

•The annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade tradition began in the 1920’s.

Make Your Own Pilgrim Hat Materials:

• 10x13” Black construction paper • 9x12” Gray construction paper • Tape • Pen or pencil • Scissors • Glue

Directions:

1. Cut an oval out of the black construction paper the full size of the paper.

2. Cut a strip of paper to make a band to put around the boy’s head, tape it. Put that circle (slightly oval) on the paper to trace the inner circle. Then draw a circle around it. Leave about a 2” brim on 3 sides and about 4” on the “front”.

3. Draw the trapezoid, and cut out the gray parts. (see photo) 4. Cut out a band and band and buckle out of gray paper.

5. Glue the hat band on the hat and then the buckle on top of the band.

6. Bend the hat piece up and try on the child.

7. You may need to adjust the opening to fit the individual child’s head.

8. On the underneath side, apply tape to the two points where the hat bends. This will help reinforce the stress point, and hopefully prevent tearing.
