I was sitting down in my room the other day, getting yelled at via Facebook Messenger to go to dinner by my roommate and a few other friends. After ﬁnally convincing myself to get out of my warm bed, I made my way to dinner. When I got there, I was met with smiling faces. Even though I was a bit annoyed that I was forced out of my bed for food that I was not too fond of, I still enjoyed the conversations at dinner. On the way back to my dorm

We are always making sure the other sleeps or eats something else besides junk food. We are always supportive of each other’s decisions, even if they are terrible. We go out to eat together.

Honestly, without my friends, I would most likely be locked up in my room all the time binge watching Netflix or Hulu by myself if I was not working on homework or Billboard. They make me leave my hidey-hole on campus to go outside and see the light of day most days. This may be cliché, but they are the second thing on this campus keeping me completely sane.

The second weekend of April brought a series of shows presented by our very own dance company, Orchesis. On the night of April 12, 2019, the start of the spring series of Orchesis in Laird Hall brought a packed house and a sold-out crowd of students, faculty, staff, and even local parents that were interested along with the parents of the performers in Orchesis. To begin the show, there were a lot of different songs and dances that highlighted the show. Songs like “River Run” by Kehlani, “Stand by Me” by Ben King, “Freaky Friday” by Chris Brown, and “Undecided” by Chris Brown topped a number of songs to go along with the amazing performances that highlighted the night. For a show that lasted anywhere between ﬁfty to seventy-ﬁve minutes, it was well worth it. On a sad note, it was a last show for many performers that were seniors. One senior that made sure she went out with a bang was Ashley Henderson ’19. Participating in almost everyone of the performances, Henderson did at least one videography, choreography, and dance in each of the three sections.

took a lot for everybody to be prepared,” Henderson ’19 said. “It was all about hard work and dedication.” Orchesis is something that all of the performers and dancers in the club are very passionate about and is something that they enjoy doing all of the time. “The best part about being in Orchesis is being able to perform and hear everybody cheering you on, and when people come up to me after the show and tells me how much they enjoyed it, I love it,” the senior dance performer m e n t i o n e d . One other key dance per-

Heckendorn ’20, who has been dancing all of her life. She talked about how much practice she put into this performance. “Every Monday we had rehearsal for our group piece for two or more hours per week,” Heckendorn said. “We also spent a lot of time with the professors working on our surprise in the group piece.” For someone who has been dancing all her life and looking for dance opportunities out of high school, this performance was something that made Sami happy. “The best part of being in Orchesis is performing,” Heckendorn stated. “I have been

dancing all my life and when I graduated high school, I thought that my dancing career was basically done but Orchesis allows me to continue to dance and watch all the variety of dances that we have.” As the show was closing, the ﬁnale titled “Thanks for Coming!” was one of the biggest highlights of the event. Faculty and staff came out onto the stage and dance to numerous hip-hop and pop songs. This moment mesmerized the crowd and was a great way to end a great show. In terms of performances for next fall and spring, Orchesis’ plan is to expand everything that went on this spring. “I think the future of Orchesis will continue to add depth and different varieties so that will keep the audience engaged,” Henderson mentioned. President Sami Heckendorn is very optimistic about the future. She mentioned that, “Next year we plan to keep expanding what we are doing and keep pushing boundaries of what styles of dances we can do.” Anyone willing to join Orchesis for the next or upcoming years can join by contacting Megan Mizanty at Megan.Mizanty@wilson.edu or one of the Orchesis ofﬁcers who are Sami Heckendorn, Lauren Monahan, Emily Clark, Lauretta Birabwa, and Ash Henderson.

The concert included Wilson’s Alma Mater, as a nod to the alumae who wrote it and with special thanks to Judy Young, ‘63. Judy has been a huge supporter of the choir and its a capella group, the DiversiTones, for many years. While she attended Wilson, she was an alto in the choir, and every now and again she visits the choir room to sing with the choir once again. Lisa Turchi has received many praises for the concert since then and is very excited to start working on some pieces for Baccalaureate and the fall semester.

On April 28, 2019, the Wilson College Choir held its spring concert in Thompson Chapel. This year, the theme of the concert was to celebrate Wilson’s 150-year anniversary. Song selections included some hits from when Wilson College was founded in 1869 like “Shoo Fly!” and “How Can I Keep from Singing?” Other songs were written, composed, or performed by Wilson alumni like the ﬁnale from the musical “Naughty Marietta,” whose lyrics were written by an alumna. Other songs highlighted different aspects throughout the time Wilson has been around, such as “Seal Lullaby,” composed by Eric Whitacre and

This wily professor has even managed to ingratiate himself into classes with the permission of Kathleen Cunniffe Pena and Wendell Smith to see what their student came up with. Some members of the student body produced some copied or original work which earnt them “swag” donated by Wilson alumni. April was meant to culminate in a bonﬁre up at Fulton Farm where people could share their poems, some nice weather, and make some s’mores. In an added bonus, the stick sculpture that had graced the Wilson campus had been taken down and would be burnt at the bonﬁre.

If you have seen chalk in front of the library or a welldressed professor interrupt a class, it means poetry is the theme on campus. Poetry month is here at Wilson College with Instructor of English and Student Media Advisor, Dr. Matthew McBride, spearheading a month of ﬁnely thought out words and stanzas that has enveloped campus. McBride, who has a Masters in Fine Arts, Creative Writing-Poetry from Boleyn Green State University, has paired with Shana Hollich and Courtney Gotham from the library to coordinate this month. An energetic and passionate teacher, McBride took his

the campus. He was inspired this month, aiming to use poetry as a way to build a little community, help people feel connected, and provide a creative outlet for students struggling with essays and exams. After brainstorming with the Wilson College Communications Department, poetry month could take effect. Guerilla tactics of poetry were adopted with poems written in chalk on the sidewalk. Poem in your pocket day, which some other libraries do as well as a weekly prompt gives people the ability to use their creative skills. For this event, McBride has been extremely industrious coming up with prompts, look-

Paranormal

By Hannah Middaugh

CAMPUS

Investigator

April 26, 2019 started out as a normal, rainy Friday on campus but quickly turned eerie as the paranormal investigator, Christopher Moon, started out his presentation at 7 p.m. in Laird Hall. Moon started out his presentation by telling a story of how he got into investigating the paranormal. His family moved into a house when he was seven years old, and he started having paranormal experiences. He started investigating the paranormal shortly after that. As he got older, he stopped investigating the paranormal to pursue a career in the music industry. After he retired from the music industry, he dove back into the world of the supernatural. Moon created two magazines, one online and one in print. Moon and his team travel all around the country doing investigations; two of those locations being Gettysburg and the Lizzie Borden House. His evidence was a mixture of EVP, or electronic voice phenomena, and photos. After ﬁnishing up his presentation about his Chris Moon with the Rods nection with credibility, Moon started the the paratour of campus in Laird Hall. normal right away.

build-up adverse weather and stormy conditions forced a change in location for this event. Instead, the event took place in the revamped Sarah’s Coffeehouse where instead of s’mores, the ever reliable Domino’s Pizza was on hand for all to share. Given the circumstances, a smaller crowd was on hand but some inspiring poetry was read giving everyone great satisfaction. Overall, McBride thought the event went well and hopes it will continue to gain traction and ﬂourish next year. A potential pairing with the Spanish department is broadcast for next year, so start working on those poems.

When someone in the crowd asked, “Is Sarah Wilson here?” the rods spun in a quick circle. You could feel the tension in the room rise as the room ﬁlled with loud gasps. At one point, the rods were stuck in their position. Moon made the statement that the rods being stuck also never happened. After the events in Laird, the group went up to the Dining Hall where Moon got out the Ghost Box, a device that connects with the other side via radio waves. Hearing the replies from the Ghost Box brought along with it some surprise. Sam Woodring, Director of Campus Safety, asked if Chris was in the Dining Hall with us. The response was a “yes”. Not much happened in the Dining Hall after that, so the

large group made their way to Warfield where they squeezed into a room on the first floor. The room in Warfield was packed, but silence ensued as the REM pod started going off. With no one touching it, the group quickly started chatting about it. Moon got out the Ghost Box once again and the amount of responses sent the group into a mixture of stunned silence and questions. The already packed room only got more full as Moon asked the Ghost Box how many spirits were in the room with the large group. After Moon disclosed 103 as the response, the room erupted with noise. When the group went out front of Warfield for the final part of the tour, the tension in the air rose. Moon was once again using the Ghost Box. Questions regarding events that happened on campus were asked, and the responses made the feeling of uneasiness known. When a student asked what we could do to help the spirits trapped on campus, the response of “dig” sent shivers down your spine. However, it was the contact with Sarah Wilson outside of Warfield that made the tension rise. After asking if she was present, a student asked if she was mad about men being on campus. A loud, “very” was heard over the Ghost Box. The volume levels rose as more responses came from Sarah Wilson via the Ghost Box. “It’s about academics,” was also heard from the college’s founder. Another question about her portrait was asked, and she responded with, “It’ll do.” After the conversation with Wilson’s founder, more responses were made via the Ghost Box. Before Moon cut the connection, the spirits said all they wanted us to do was acknowledge them, and that they would be talking more that night. The air was thick with tension as everyone started walking back around campus and were high for the rest of the night.

Notre

By Cheyanne Weaver

A few weeks ago, on Monday, April 15, a fire alarm was heard throughout Paris, France. Flames were seen tearing through the famous cathedral known as Notre Dame. This fire seemed to have started in the upper area of the cathedral and made its way partly down. The spire on top of the cathedral completely collapsed. As people all around the world watched in shock, emergency crews rushed to the scene to make sure everyone was safe and to prevent any injuries. Some even went into the cathedral to rescue priceless artifacts from being completely destroyed. One man, Father Jean-Marc Fournier, the Chaplain of the Paris fire brigade, helped save some of these artifacts. Of the relics saved by him were the Crown of Thorns, said to have been worn by Jesus before his crucifixion, and a tunic that was once worn by St. Louis back in the thirteenth century. The relics serve as an important part of history to people everywhere. Seeing that it took around 200 years for the cathedral to be built, and now it is over 850 years old, the

Korean Expressions By Hanseul Kim

South Korea is located between China and Japan. Due to this geographical feature, those three countries have shared plenty of similar cultural values. One of them is respecting older people, and it is reflected well in its languages. There are two forms of Korean. One is called “Jondeamal,” which is an honorific used to respect someone. The other one is called “Banmal.” which is informal language used in a close relationship. A standard of which form you should use is age. You should use “honorific” if the

For The Everyday American Jondaemal -[an nyeong haseyo] It means “Hello, Hi”. -[gomap seup nida] -[gamsa hap nida] It means “Thank you”. -[jal meok gess seup nida] It is used before you eat. In English, it means “Thank you for the meal”, but it means more like “Bon appétit” in French. -[jal meo geoss seup nida] It means “It was good, I enjoyed the food” It is used very often in restaurants as a meaning of “I’m done or I’m leaving now” even when you don’t enjoy the food.

Banmal -[annyeong] It means “Hi, Hello”, and you can use this one as “Bye”. -[jalga] It means “Bye” and “See you later”. -[gomawo] It means “Thank you” -[daebak] It means “amazing,” and it can be used in any situation, such as when you get surprised or when you admire something. -[her] Same as the above one.

hopes that with the passing of this bill, the Hellbender will receive more conservation efforts than it has in the past. The Eastern Hellbender Salamander has many nicknames, some of which include the “Allegheny Alligator,” the “Lasagna Lizard,” and the “Snot Otter.” It comes by its title of largest salaman-

der in North America, as it can grow to be over two feet long and can weigh up to five pounds or more. For comparison, that is roughly equal to the size of a small dog or cat. Hellbenders use their wide, flat mouths to ambush crawfish and minnows to eat. If they are healthy in the stream they’ve chosen,

that stream is predicted to have good long-term health. Lately, the Hellbender has been rare to find, and its population has been rapidly approaching extinction levels. With the passing of this bill, Governor Wolfe is hoping that this salamander will gain some popularity and, subsequently, protection.

growing up. Despite her exceptional language abilities, Perez was still haunted by the stigma that is placed on Latin Americans in the United States. An early recollection of this is when she was at a bus stop in fourth grade, and some teenagers drove by, opened their car door called her a “s----” and spat at her before driving away. There is a strong population of Latin Americans in major cities. According to the United States Census Bureau, Chambersburg’s population of 17.6% Latin American and Hispanics reﬂects the need to help with support and integration. This number dwarfs that of local major cities such as Pittsburgh at 2.9% and Baltimore at 5.0%. This raises the question, what is the Chambersburg community doing to integrate Latin Americans into their society? With such a large population of Latino’s, integration into the community is an essential focus that the city

of Chambersburg is looking to improve and build upon. Here, the community works intensively to ensure that Latinos are integrated into the community. Programs and systems have been set in place to allow for Latin American families to co-exist in America. Education This is most notably witnessed in the schools and education systems in the Chambersburg community. From the elementary schools through to college, education has become an essential part of integrating Latinos into the community. The Chambersburg school district plays a large part in this integration, the high school in particular is where families send their children. Lisset Jones, the Assistant Principal of 12th grade at the high school notes that families like the school as it provides a newcomer program, this helps with the language, habituating them to school life, and plac-

ing students into a two year sheltered instruction program. Jones further remarks that these students are offered the same opportunities with jobs, sports, and generally making them feel as comfortable as possible. The school is trying to ﬁnd ways to motivate students as absenteeism is a problem. Furthermore, the high school has also hired a parent liaison, who tells parents their rights and helps with documentation. Wilson College, as well as having a sizeable percentage of Latinos, also provides the Learning Campus program for local children to come in and experience a college environment for a couple hours on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. A primary objective of this program is to expose children to a college environment making tertiary education seem more accessible for these families.

person who you are going to talk to is older than you. Fundamentally, it is polite using “Jondaemal” when you meet a person at ﬁrst no matter how old they are. However, if the older person allows you to use “Banmal,” you can use it even if the person is 20 years older than you. If not, the other party could think you are rude even if both you and the person are the same age. As K-pop became popular, more and more tourists from western countries have visited South Korea. Here are some basic expressions in Korean;

Eastern Hellbender Salamander Is State Amphibian By Olivia Shirk

The recent talks surrounding President Trump and his stance on a border wall has sparked vociferous debate about the integration of Latin Americans into American society. Throughout the United States, Latinos are treated poorly, often forced to scrounge the bottom of the barrel for jobs and places to live. People from Latin America are often treated as such, with an overt display of microaggressions being directed towards them. This has become a habituated practice in the major cities of America with blatant acts of racism emerging. It is from this treatment that Latinos tend to isolate themselves and congregate in their own little neighborhoods or restaurants to get a reprieve from this constant hassle. These tensions can be seen locally as Shippensburg University student Yajaira Perez ’21 details these microaggressions that she experienced

BTS : MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA “Boy with Luv”

By Katy (Gahye) Kim

BTS

BTS made a comeback with their new album “MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA” that released globally on April 12. They performed their ﬁrst live performance of the new album’s title track, “Boy with Luv,” on the NBC comedy show SNL (Saturday Night live) on April 13. “This SNL was all BTS,” CNN said after the broadcast. As fans lined up for nearly a week on the streets, NBC morning hosts were even surprised, saying, “I’ve never seen such a long line.” BTS is writing a new history of K-pop. So, I’m going to interpret the music video of “Boy with Luv.” The music video means to contain the growth story of BTS and love for BTS’s fans collectively named ARMY:

1. In the ﬁrst part of the music video, Halsey closes the box ofﬁce in the theater, and BTS dances after the theater closes, and there is a movie poster next to them titled “Singing in the Rain.” 2. In the movie, the main character, Don, played by Gene Kelley, is an actor who became famous from a poor street celebrity to a stuntman. He almost failed in the middle, but when he met a woman named Kathy, played by Debbie Reynolds, he was able to make it back and succeed. There is a famous scene in which Don holds an umbrella and tap dances, and BTS member RM stands alone with an umbrella in the music video, so the scene pre-

sumably paid homage to Don. 3. Therefore, dancing after the ticket box closes can be seen as an expression of the time when BTS was out of the spotlight. Like Don, BTS, who started the stage outside the theater, will be able to go up to the restaurant where the sky is visible. However, they say here, “Now that it’s too high, I want to set my eyes on you.” Then they go to the people who put themselves up (blue background), and a board titled “Love” comes out, which means love from fans (ARMY). This love has made BTS ﬂy up to the sky, and Kathy in the movie was Halsey. 4. “Everyone says that, I, who was small, became a hero (oh nah)” “I say that fate was never mine to start with” In these lyrics, people say they were heroes, but BTS says they are not heroes, and show humbleness by saying they were not the ones that caused this to happen. Their message is that this was all thanks to their ARMY. 5. They say it was the wings of Icarus that allowed them to ﬂy up to the sky. Icarus was

destiny of the two brothers. In June 1950, the Lee family lived in the South Korean capital of Seoul. Lee Jin-Tae owns a shoeshine stand to pay for his younger brother Jin-Seok’s education. On June 25, 1950, North Korea invades South Korea and both brothers are conscripted by force. Jin-Tae is told by a superior that if he can earn the highest award for a South Korean soldier, his brother can be sent home. JinTae volunteers for many dangerous missions and performs suicidal acts of bravery to earn the medal, and is quickly promoted to sergeant. He ﬁnally got the medal, but his combat experiences have turned him into an emotionless killer, horrifying his younger brother. Due to the many events in the movie, Jin-Tae’s request to re-

lease his brother is refused, and he believes Jin-Seok died in combat. Jin-Tae proceeds to murder people he believes killed his brother. In truth, however, Jin-Seok had been transferred to a military hospital after barely escaping. Due to the sadness from losing his younger brother and anger toward the South Korean military, who refused his request, Jin-Tae stood by the North Korean army and struggled to attack the South. While he has taken active parts in so many battles, the brothers come faceto-face, but not recognizing his young brother Jin-Seok, Jin-Tae attempts to kill him. This is the plot of the movie “The Brotherhood of War.” This movie has many meaningful points, illustrating the

a mythical person who ﬂew in the sky with wax wings, ﬂew too close to the sun, and the wax eventually melted into the heat of the sun and fell. RM says he got his wings thanks to ARMY and will go to them instead of going to the sun. And nearby RM, there are albums BTS released, which the ARMY love and describe as the wings of the BTS. 6. The images of the other members sitting and watching the leader RM indicate that they also had moments of improved self-esteem, and when they see him, they agree with him and run on the stage with him. They now join with ARMY on the stage, not on the off-stage street, and last message is ARMY. The most amazing thing is that when you turn over “love” in a last scene, you will see the word “army.” Through this music video, they express their love for ARMY with their growth story. I think their love for the fans and their humble hearts made what they are now, BTS. I encourage you to watch the music video online!

Review of the Brotherhood of War (2004)

By Hanseul Kim

Have you heard about the Korean War that happened in 1950? This happened due to ideological differences between South and North Korea in the process of establishing its own government after the Japanese colonial period. The United States, the Soviet Union, and China directly intervened in the war. The Soviet Union and China stood for the North, which pursued socialist ideas, and the U.S. supported the South, which aimed for democracy. Finally, on July 27,1953, North and South Korea agreed to stop fighting for a period of time. After three years of fierce fighting, and it has been maintained. Today, I want to introduce the movie “Brotherhood” which illustrates the horrors of the Korean War and the tragic

Miller and Henderson Play

By Hannah Middaugh

American singer, songwriter, and rapper, Jake Miller, visited the Chameleon Club in Lancaster on his WAIT FOR YOU Tour. Miller, who is a native from Florida, started his career in music back in 2011. He released his ﬁrst album “Us Against Them” November of that year. He was signed to E1 Music till he revealed he signed to Warner Brothers Music a month later. Shortly after his sophomore album release in 2017, Miller revealed that he and Warner Brothers have parted ways. Now, Miller is signed to RED MUSIC/Sony Music. He just released his newest EP, “Based On A True Story,” on March 29. Miller was joined on tour with The Parkers, a band from New York, Just Seconds Apart, a band from Arizona, and former Big Time Rush member, Logan Henderson. The Parkers were an interesting group. Consisting of siblings Anya Parker-Lentz and Kate Parker-Lentz and their friend Henry Kane, this band classiﬁes themselves as a “hauntingly feel-good electronic pop” group. They started out on a quiet note, creating murmurs through the crowd of confused concert

The second group to open, Just Seconds Apart, were just as surprising. Made up of triplets Sela, Ari, and Alex Poulos, these 19-year-olds put on a great show. The crowd loved them. With Sela on the drums, Ari on guitar, and Alex on keyboard and bass, these three make-up a “timeless pop-rock” vibe that mixes well with all of their vocals.

cruel side of a war. In fact, during the war, countless young men were conscripted without proper military training, and the majority of them were almost used as human shields. The movie described the tragedy, which is that brothers forced to attack each other, and how ordinary people are sacriﬁced and harmed in the terrible situation of war.

at the Chameleon Club ites were “Selﬁsh Girls,” “Rumors,” “Dazed and Confused,” and “Collide.” With “Collide,” Miller grabbed a bottle of water near the end of the song and splashed the crowd with water. He admitted that his mother’s favorite song he ever wrote was “Selﬁsh Girls.” Miller also commented, “I appreciate you all spending your hard earned money on coming to see me, especially you broke college students.” Miller kept the crowd jumping and having a great time throughout the whole set of 20 songs. Miller made sure everyone was having a good time while also putting on an energetic performance. While connecting with the crowd of concertgoers with small stories of how important his family is to him and how it means so much to him that people were spending their money to watch him perform, Miller was all smiles as he got the crowd involved with every song.

way to thePhoto By Hannah Middaugh stage. Henderson sang a good chunk of his solo music, while the middle school child inside of me just wanted him to sing a Big Time Rush song. Henderson danced all around the stage for each song. He even stopped the show to ask the crowd if anyone was missing anything like prom to go to the show. Someone said her mom’s birthday. He had her take her phone out and start recording while he and the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to her mother. Henderson also dedicated his last song, “End of the World” to a girl in the crowd who was having a really rough time. Henderson left the stage with a giant smile on his face. Miller entered the stage while already singing the lyrics for his ﬁrst song and most recent single, “NIKES.” The crowd was suddenly a mixture of screams and singing along. Miller sang all six songs off his newest EP with some old songs mixed in. Some of my favor-Logan Henderson Performing
