the leaves begin to change and the weather gets cooler, there’s no better time to explore the outdoors, and these trails can be a great way to start. One trail in particular, the Commerce trail, starts by the Eques-

trian Center and leads into downtown Chambersburg as part of the Rails to Trails program, which revitalizes old railroad track to become walking trails. Additionally, behind the Lenfest Commons area, just beside the Creekside parking lot, there is a small dock. Originally this was used for students to rent boats to row, but now it can provide an excellent space to study among the local wildlife. If outdoor activities aren’t what you’re looking for, stu dents can visit the Hankey Center until 5 pm on weekdays for rotating exhibits on the history of Wilson College. There are also rotating exhibits in the bottom of Lenfest Commons, which can be The Odds Quad

There is a bowling alley available in the field house as well, and the new Odds Quad behind Disert Hall has several options for games to play or spaces to hang out with friends. This space is also available for cookouts (though you will need a permit). This is by no means a complete list of everything available on campus, but it’s a great place to start, so take some time to go out and live boldly by exploring campus!

photography that lose funding. This whole thing could come off as extremely biased since I am a writing and journalism major, a huge music fan, and the graphic designer for The Billboard, but I appreciate the amount of work science takes, and I enjoy watching a sporting event here and there. I am a huge ice hockey fan, so I tend to watch a lot of hockey throughout the fall and winter. But do many scientists or athletes ever sit back and look at how the arts impact the world around them? I know science majors who love to draw, but they never have the time to sit down and draw because of the amount of work they do. Athletes are either in class, doing homework, or at practices or games, and if they have jobs, they are at work as well. They are lucky to get any kind of break. I guess what I am trying to say is, no one really sits back and realizes just how the arts effect their everyday lives.
A photographer and graphic designer took hours, probably days, making sure it was just right. That logo on your favorite clothing brands? A graphic designer took days and countless rough sketches till the companies were pleased. Your favorite books? Your favorite author went through many, many editing and revising stages and probably got denied a few times before they got where they wanted to be. All your favorite musicians and artists? They spend hours in the recording studio making sure everything is perfect. They complete full albums just to change their minds about it and start all over. Art is all around you whether you realize it or not. Science may be important for modern medicine, and progressing in life, and sports might play a huge role in many people’s lives, but the arts are just as important.

Allies Club has recently hosted a small celebration of Ally Week, a week celebrating the allies of the LGBTQ+ community. This year, it fell between September 23 through September 27. The club had a table in Lenfest with fun stickers to support our fellow LGBTQ+ students on campus! The club also featured a petition to sign declaring yourself as an ally for anyone to
The movement was started by an organization called GLSEN, pronounced “glisten,” in 1990 by a group of teachers in Massachusetts who believed the way to stop students from bullying students of the LGBT community was to be active in their allyship. That movement has grown into a global phenomenon, and Ally Week is celebrated from K-12 in schools and in most colleges today.
page, GLSEN states that their mission is “to ensure that LGBTQ students are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying and harassment.” The way they accomplish this is through conducting their own research for students K-12, creating their own resources for educators to use in the classroom, and partnering with multiple organiza-

T-shirts were provided by the Muhibbah club, though some students chose to bring their own items to dye. Members of the club were available to assist students with their projects and to offer helpful tips and tricks to ensure that everyone ended up with a project they were proud of.

Safe,
On Sunday October 6, 2019, Shippensburg PA experienced a active shooter in the area extremely close to the houses in which a great deal of students reside in. Shippensburg went into a state of “Shelter in Place” until the situation was cleared and the victims were recovered. The two victims of the shooting were not Shippensburg students, but the school just wanted to make sure the safety of the students was a priority. This stirred up the question, as a dash of panic waved through some Wilson students, what is Wilson’s protocol for safety in an active shooter situation. In each dorm there is a small 8x11 laminated sheet of paper with bulleted notes of what to do in various emergency situations. It does have a few safety points on what to do if a shooter was to arrive in the area vs. on campus, but that small section is not going to save our lives as students.

Alert,
So I sat down with Dean Marybeth Williams and Officer Sam Woodring, to discuss what students should really do in case an emergency situation occurs on campus. Dean Mary Beth stated, “We do have a crisis response plan in place. Every student is registered for our safety alerts via text message and email. In that text, a location and instructions will be given to shelter in place and be alert. It will give a location as to where the shooter is and what action is appropriate at that time.” We then continued to discuss that once the notification is received, students in residence halls should shelter in place. Shelter in place means to cover all the windows, turn off all electrical devices (Fans, TV’s, loud speakers, etc) and make your surroundings as quiet as possible. It is smart to place something in

If you are not in a place to where you can shelter in place, find a secure area that can be locked or closed off and await help from any authorities or security. If you do encounter any police or other authority figures, just obey all commands and allow them to apprehend the armed active shooter on campus. Another text will be sent via email and messages to notify students that the situation is clear and they can come out of their safe spaces. Once all students have come, out security does ask to do a head count with the authorities to make sure students are well and accounted for. To conclude the interview, Marybeth and Sam both agreed, “Our mission is to keep you safe for your time here at Wilson. In those situations it can be scary, but have faith in us that we will do everything we can

So just trust Wilson.” As a student who was troubled by the events that happened on Shippensburg’s campus Sunday night, I hope to see more safety protocols practiced in the future. Eventually to simulate this type of situation is what I think would help students understand what to do. Though it will be time consuming and hard to schedule, placing an emergency simulation in future orientation events could end up saving a life. I know after hearing that Wilson has a crisis plan in place I feel safer and I trust in our three astonishing officers; Sam Woodring, Kevin Miller and DJ Harvey to keep us safe.

Banned Books Week Presented By The Media Theory Class By Hannah Middaugh September 22-28 was Banned Books Week. The Media Theory and Method class was hard at work for the events on Wednesday, September 25 to celebrate Banned Books Week. The preparations to this event included advertising, getting the books from the library, setting up and cleaning up before and after the movie, as well as helping with the Banned Books Read-Out. According to bannedbooksweek.org, “Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries. Typically held during the last week of September,

Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.” Dr. Johnathon Long, Communications Professor, started the Banned Books Week events on campus two years ago. “As the Media Law and

Having seen where other colleges have held a read-out to inform individuals that, yes, it can happen here in the US (and, sadly, quite frequently in the state of Pennsylvania), I have long wanted to hold such an event on our campus, and enlisting the help of communications students is a great way to foster excitement and participation in the week’s events,” Dr. Long stated. The events of the day started out at 11 a.m. at the Learning Commons in the John Stewart Memorial Library. Dr. Long started the Read-Out with a short introduction of Banned Books and read for five minutes from a Judy Blume book. Students and professors took turns reading from books that have been banned or challenged for five-minute intervals. Attendance was a little small for the readout this year, but the ones who read and the students who listened enjoyed their time at the read out. Dr. Long commented, “The number

Kmart then opened Sears brand appliances in their Kmart stores in July 2009. In 2010, about 22 stores closed due to underperformance and low profitability. Kmart announced the closure of 77 stores that are set to close for good as of December 15, 2019. This will be the first mass closing of stores since they came out of bankruptcy in 2018.

Wilson’s equestrian teams are constantly growing and changing. Each year, new students come to campus and become a part of the equestrian facility and all that it stands for. This month, we are going to focus on the Wilson College Eventing Team. Not many people know what the sport of three-day eventing is and what it entails. The sport of three-day eventing is a three phase sport that involves show jumping, dressage, and cross country riding. At Wilson, our eventing team works to promote the education of students on the sport of three-day eventing and their involvement at the Penn Hall Equestrian Center.

Not only did the Phoenix respond well, they set the tone for conference games and sent Notre Dame a message. “The message sent will be to not underestimate us,” Tioleaoauli Posiulai said. “I think it opened up their eyes to see that it wouldn’t be an easy game.” Madison Coy ‘22, another underrated player from the hard-fought game, ended up with three aces. “Going into the game we didn’t have much confidence but as the game progressed, our confidence boosted,” Coy said. “I feel like other teams are more nervous now.”
Team
of the Eventing Team is Hannah Femia ’22. She is currently working on setting up volunteer opportunities at local eventing trials. She aims to get the team more involved in the community so that they can eventually be a competing team. Another goal of the team for this year is to find a coach. As the team continues to grow, they want to hire a coach, become more involved, and then begin competing and representing Wilson at local events. All are welcome to join the team and learn more about what the team does and how they operate.

The University of Virginia Head Basketball coach Tony Bennett turned down a raise after winning the National Championship in April. Earlier this month, the team announced that while declining his offer, he extended his contract by one year but left the money on the table. Coming off the big title win this past spring, one would think that Bennett both deserves the raise and would want it, but he had a different approach to the situation. Bennett mentioned that he would like to better the other athletic programs instead and specifically asked management to pay his coaching staff more. “Laurel and I are in a great spot, and in the past, I’ve had increases in my contract,” is what Bennett described to the press, according to NBCNews.com. “We just feel great about where we’re at, all that’s taken place, and how we feel about this athletic department and this community and this school… I love being at UVA.”

wards a player-development program to ensure that both former and current players develop into more than just a basketball player after leaving the university. “Tony’s decision to turn down a well-deserved raise and instead invest in his players and UVA athletics more broadly tells you everything you need to know about him as a leader and as a human being,” Jim Ryan, the University President, mentioned. Bennett went on to close by saying, “I have more than enough, and if there are any ways that this can help out the athletic department, the other programs and coaches, by not tying up so much, that’s my goal.” With Bennett losing three players to the NBA this past season, the three time National Coach of the Year kicks off the season early November and it will be interesting to see how Bennett and his players come out after last season’s championship heroics.

Gardening is considered one of the most popular hobbies of many people in the world. Many people find it entertaining to see the cultivating process. I have been working on the Wilson Fulton Farm for my community service project. I have observed the efforts through which farmers cultivate crops for us. A farm is more than land and crops grown there. It is their family heritage and future. Today I want to draw the attention towards a serious issue I have been witnessing in the dining hall.

From just a few minutes of looking at any major news site, it becomes obvious that climate change is a prevalent topic in the media today, and it continues to rapidly grow in relevance with every passing day. The climate change prevention movement has been steadily gaining notoriety as they increase pressure on large corporations and lawmakers to implement stronger policies to protect the environment. As politicians have continued to attempt to dismiss the issue and sweep their claims under the rug, activists have only grown more determined to spread their message and be heard until they are able to inspire tangible change.

Aaron Carter, or AC, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, dancer and record producer. He became very popular when he started out as a pop and hip-hop singer in the late 1990’s. Carter is also known as Backstreet Boys’ very own Nick Carter’s little brother. From drug addiction to family members passing away, Carter has been through a lot in his life. However, the spotlight is on him once again, and not for anything positive. The past few weeks, Carter has been under fire from all angles. As of September 17, Nick Carter has filed a restraining order against his little brother. Nick Carter claims that Aaron Carter threatened to kill his pregnant wife and unborn child. Aaron Carter claims he never said he was going to harm his family. Both Carter brothers took to Twitter to talk about the situation. While Nick Carter announced his restrain-

tions. These podcasts include “No Jumper” and Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive.” These interviews fueled the internet to attack Carter more about drug addiction. This drove Carter to take a in-home drug test on Instagram to prove he is not relapsing. Carter also debuted a new face tattoo just days after claiming on “Impaulsive” that he “did not need a face tattoo.” Carter also tweeted fans that day asking that people “respect me & leave me alone.” He said he was “doing just fine” and “I already have to move, and I don’t need to be under scrutiny with every decision I make. I will take the necessary precautions to protect myself.” Whether you are a big Backstreet Boys fan or have been a fan of Aaron Carter, this family feud is a messy one. With all people involved very much in the public eye, Aaron Carter seems to be the only one taking to social media to defend himself while his siblings stay quiet.
“‘I am astounded at the accusations being made against me. I do not wish harm to anyone, especially my family.’ He continued on to say, ‘All I ask is for my family to leave me alone. This is blood. Not love. I will never be around you and I don’t want to be around you.’”
