town, I never got the chance to do anything fun. I barely left Pennsylvania before college and when I did it was for field trips. I was not able to go sightseeing like I would have liked to. For the past few semesters now, I have done more traveling and sightseeing than I have in my entire life.

Most of my traveling is for concerts and music festivals, but I still consider it traveling. My friend and I drive around the area that the concert is at and explore new places. We have a blast the entire time. We also make new friends while on these adventures. There is just something about music that brings people together. I also get to write about these concerts for the Billboard, which is super cool. Writing for a music magazine is what I want to do after graduation, and the fact that the Billboard gives me experience and practice for it is amazing. The Billboard provides me with the opportunities to get press and photo passes to concerts and events.

There is no way I could pass up a photo pass for a concert where

permitted (which is usually most of the concerts I go to).

The College Media Conferences that I am able to attend with the Billboard are both fun and great opportunities to network with other colleges. Not only can I do some sightseeing, I also get to learn new things.

Exploring new cities and meeting new people is worth looking like a tourist once in a while.

I have always wanted to travel, and the little bit of traveling I have done has set in stone that I need to do more traveling in my life. Whether it be to more concerts in other states or going to media conferences once or twice a year, I just want to explore a little bit more of the world. I would absolutely love to get out of the country at least once. Greece would be an ideal destination at some point.

Traveling is not only a fun opportunity, but it also becomes the best opportunity. Between seeing new sights, meeting new people, and learning new things, you cannot go wrong with traveling. Every place has different things to offer you. Even traveling further

College Hosts Creative Writing Colloquium

On Sat. Mar. 9, you might have missed the Wilson College Creative Writing Colloquium. The event was a rapid progression of six professional writers running panels on various topics in the creative writing field. The event included two professors from our college, Dr. Matthew Diltz McBride, and Dr. Michael G. Cornelius, along with four additional guest speakers attending as well: Alicia Drumgoole, Seth Fried, Eric Bliman, and Heather Hamilton.

Alicia Drumgoole, an assistant professor at Hagerstown Community College, writes fiction that includes both more serious essays as well as her guilty pleasure paranormal fiction, which she writes under the pen name Agnes Jayne. Her panel brought light to many pitfalls new authors make when it comes to mak-

ing strong characters, including a definition of the dreaded Mary Sue and Marty Stu. Seth Fried is a contributor for the New Yorker’s “Shouts and Murmurs,” and NPR’s “Selected Shorts.” He read excerpts for the keynote reading section of the colloquium during the latter half of the conference. In the morning, he gave a lecture on how to write compelling plots and how to effectively avoid clichés.

Dr. Eric Bliman, a current teacher at Pennsylvania State University, ran the first poet ‘s lecture. His lecture focused on Persona Poems and a small section allocated to practicing writing them.

Dr. Heather Hamilton, also a teacher at Pennsylvania State University, gave a lecture on concrete imagery and removing the esoteric pompous elements of poetry by creating images that are

both understandable by normal people and keep the author’s sense of uniqueness.

Dr. Matthew Diltz McBride, a professor of English and Creative Writing, well loved by his students for creating a calm environment in his classes, gave a lecture on prose poetry a strange format involving surreal elements.

Dr. Michael G. Cornelius is the local medieval enthusiast and creative writing teacher on campus. His lecture was designed to drill out the boring prose from your work and to teach you how to show your audience the world, as opposed to telling them.

The events included panels on both prose and poetry that the audience could switch between at any point.

The rapid pace, however, affected many of the speeches adversely, as well as shortening the period of time that

the seminars had to give students and attendees the time to practice the exercises.

Undoubtedly, the most interesting moment from the lecture came from Seth Fried as he was discussing the advantages to fiction as a genre in comparison to more modern formats, “Fiction can do this cool thing where you can get into a character’s head, such as in notes from the underground, when movies try to do it, they just zoom up on character who has a face suffering from constipation.”

His quote gets to the heart of fiction’s greatest advantage the ability to get into the heads of characters. If you are interested in learning more about fiction, it is likely Wilson College will hold another Colloquium next year. They are free to attend, though it is important to register first.

Photography Class Field Trip to Lebanon Valley College

On Sun. March 3, all three photography classes went on a field trip to Lebanon Valley College. We went to an art

gallery at the college called, “The Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery.” The art gallery is recognized as one of the region’s foremost spaces in which to experience the achievements of internation-

ally renowned artist and art movements of yesterday and today. The gallery is host to five to six exhibitions a year.

They receive loans from major national and regional art museums, galleries, and collectors. This gallery featured work by Dorothea Lange and 13 additional artists. This art gallery was not as big as I had expected, but there were

still some good photographs to look at and study. A lot of the pictures had meaning behind them. Most of the

photographs that we looked at were during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl time period. The photographs showed a lot of emotions, like sadness, hopelessness, and heartbreak. The photographs told a story of what it was

like living during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl.

The point of this field trip was to show us more photo-

This field trip definitely opened my eyes of how I want to take more photos, not only in my photography class, but outside of the class as well.

Students Take Food Ethics Class at Wilson College By: Luis M. Gonzalez

PHI-232/332, or simply regarded as Food Ethics, is an experimental course that began in Spring 2019

by Associate Professor of Philosophy, John Elia.

Food ethics is an experiential class that promotes deep thinking about food and increases the understanding of the ethics that surround it. Some subjects that are discussed in the class include diet and nutrition, food sourcing, farming, the environment, and how our food experiences might tell us something about how we should live. However, the class is not only limited to a lecture because as Dr. Elia pronounces, “reading/listening/talking about food, and experiencing food are not the

Cue the music. Wilson college’s dance company, Orchesis, was invited to the American College Dance Association (ACDA) to participate in a fourday long event packed full of diverse dance classes and shows to admire. From jazz, tap, and West African dance, Samantha Heckendorn ‘20, Grace Wellmon ‘22, Jessica Rice ‘21, Sean Alan Miller (Grad student) , Joshua Legg (MFA director), and I to Seton Hill University in Greensburg, PA, were available to accompany Megan Mizanty, a visiting dance professor at Wilson, to partake in all of the classes offered and meet many amazing people. The ACDAs are designed so dancers who are invited can take classes taught by the choreographers that have also been invited.

The choreographers can come from other visiting schools or even be a graduate student from any school. Mizanty was able to teach a class, “Sounding while Moving: A Dance Theatre Workshop,” and loved meeting all levels of dancers.

Each of us students took varying classes and after we finished each day, we were able to see performances from the

same.” With this, the class integrates “food experiences” into the required work for a course where students will cook in class, try different foods, eat in restaurants, learn new recipes, and experiment with new foods.

Dr. Elia proceeds to explain his inspiration for the class stating, “I went to a conference called ‘The Meaning of Food’ last spring with Dr. Raulli. It opened my eyes to some simple ways of using food in the classroom to create experiential opportunities for learning. Just think of all of the skills that cooking in a small group requires: communication, critical thinking and problem solving, working in a team, creativity. Then, at the end of it, you get to enjoy eat-

ing what you made together.

I just had to try it. So, here I am teaching Food Ethics for the first time.”

Jacob Slifka ‘23, a student currently enrolled in the class, was asked a few questions regarding his experiences in the class.

Q1: What has been your favorite part about the course?

A: I love discussing new ideas and topics or coming back to old topics and making them new with discussing its current state of being. Food and the ethics of food will become even more important as food evolves. For me, when I hear ideas and thoughts from others about what we are reading, or even just the ideas from the reading, it expands my own thought process.

Q2: Would you recom-

mend the class to other students? Why or why not?

A: Yes! Though the authors of the essays we read can be preachy, our professor and the fellow students are not.

We have our opinions but it is all about gaining a new perspective. A class where you can discuss things, instead of just getting rote lecture allows for new understanding.

Q3: Why did you choose to enroll in Food Ethics?

A: Honestly, a class of this nature is required. However, I chose this over the other courses because I have a huge passion about food and cooking it.

Currently, the class runs on Mondays and Fridays from 3:40PM to 4:55PM and is offered on the spring semesters of odd years.

my body in new ways. I adored all of the classes I took. Two in particular struck a chord with me just because in the two short hours I was given with them, they changed my heart about dance.

The first class that touched me was the pole dancing class taught by Aubrey Worek. There were five poles in the studio of 20 dancers. She could sense the nerves lingering in the room and she stopped us before we could reach the poles. Worek encouraged us to notice that this is

Gabriel Mata, a graduate teaching assistant at the University of Maryland- College Park, revived my passion for dance. I had felt a little lost in the past weeks of not feeling connected to myself and dance but he took two hours of my time and changed me. I took “Talking Dances- Creating Individu-

Trip

al Choreographic Approaches,” and we spent the class discussing ways to tap into dance that were unconventional. The objective of the class was to take our warm ups and compile a solo based off a personal story we spoke as we danced. Mata caught my attention when he stated, “A solo is a confession.

It’s not easy to put your heart out but do it. Just try. Promise me that you will always try.”

He peered around the room with his cheeky smile. Mata got all of us out of our comfort zones within the first hour and we all felt so intertwined. He shared his personal struggle with his homosexuality on the stage in one of the shows and that is what influenced him to help us share our own confessions. It was truly breathtaking and an honor to be taught by him. After my solo, I felt connected to dance again. Wilson has opened me up to the world of dance and professors like Legg and Mizanty keep it alive on campus.

Being at the ACDAs was beyond a privilege that I will always be grateful to Mizanty for inviting me. Each of us dancers brought different perspectives home to Wilson and it was an experience I will never forget.

Enjoy your time at “Roy Pitz Brewing Company”

Photo by Hanseul Kim

There is a great place to have fun with your friends near campus. Roy Pitz Brewing Company is a 20-minute walk away.

They have their own beers and also have other kinds of drinks like wine, cocktails, and regular beers. There are two kinds

of tap beer that are made by Roy Pitz, Barrel Aged Underground Safety Stout and Dutch Maiden. Dutch Maiden is an ale beer, so it has a very fresh flavor and is good for drinking with some greasy foods. Barrel Stout is a black beer and has a heavy and rich taste like Guinness, but it smells fresher. I don’t recommend Barrel Stout for those who don’t enjoy dark beers because it has quite a heavy taste for those who have never tasted dark beer before.

Roy Pitz has some delicious foods that are suitable with their beers, or you can enjoy their foods only. Their signature burgers and sandwiches are great to have with beers.

I recommend having burgers because the fries that came out with the burger were great and tasted delicious. They were similar to Five Guys’ french

ries. The burger’s buns were soft, and the meat was juicy and thick enough to sense the taste of beef. As a meat lover, I enjoyed the deep flavor of the beef patty. If you are not satisfied with their burgers, you can even build your own burger for ten dollars. Just choose a cheese and three toppings of what you want. They have vegetarian menus too.

They also offer March food specials and daily lunch specials from 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. that are less expensive than regular menus, so you can have some special menus at a reasonable price. I recommend lunch special menu, grilled cheese & tomato bisque, which is available on Tuesday.

It’s only $4.99 and the porportions were was reasonable.

They also have Wing Wednesday; on this day you can have

wings at 35% off price all day.

They open every day except Monday from 11:30 a.m. mostly till 11 p.m. Visit Roy Pitz and try some its fresh beers and delicious foods!

By Katy (Gahye) Kim

Korean Bulgogi House is a restaurant for Korean foods.

The restaurant has been operating in Chambersburg for seven years run by Judy Kim. She and a chef serve various Korean foods. Korean food is healthier than general food, because there are more vegetables, and the foods are not burdensome to the body. Therefore, there are many regular customers.

Bulgogi is sliced and seasoned barbequed beef. Japchae is sweet potato starch noodles stir fried with vegetables and meat.

Korean rice cake is made from soft rice, fish cake and Korean

The Wilson College Men’s Volleyball team played host to Immaculata University in a non-conference matchup on Sat., March 2. The Phoenix now (3-4, 1-2 CSAC) dominated the game eventually sweeping the Mighty Macs (0-9, 0-5 CVC) three sets to none 25-12, 25-19 and 25-19.

After a tight opening start to the first set, Wilson’s serving proved to be the difference as Aaron Hoke ’19 landed back-to-back aces to gain ascendancy for the Phoenix.

Wilson went on to dominate the first set with Allen Bull ’19 adding to the Phoenix’s aces to complete the set. The second set proved a bit more challenging for the Phoenix as Immaculata led for the early part of the set, but some fine serving from brothers Dan and Oliver Perry ’20 kept the

nix played against Southern Virginia under the lights losing by one run 4-3 at the bottom of the 7th. Despite two defeats the team performed well for their first games of the season and can only get better from here and have a strong season. On the weekend, Daphne Buzard ’21, commented,“We learned as a team and grew closer together.”

Strong performances from individuals in this season opener show some promising signs for the team. Players to watch out for include Pitcher Megan Potter ’20, who is a two time NEAC first team selection who is striving to break the Wilson College strikeout record. Another player to watch out for is Jenna Carty ’21, who received a NEAC second team selection in her Freshman year.

Able to play anywhere and a very capable hitter, Carty was Wilson’s home run leader last year. Moreover, catcher Meghan Bradley plays a crucial role behind the plate and

brings a light spirit to the team. Potter ’20 also mentions, “runners shouldn’t dare to steal on her and pitchers should fear her when she’s up to bat.”

New recruits for Wilson fans to look out for include Freshman Taylor Durant ’22.

Coming all the way from the state of Washington, she is a strong player in the field and batting lineup, certainly one to look out for. In addition, Freshman Chloe Perrin ’22, who has been a strong recruit to replenish the outfield with a rocket arm and very capable hitter, is looking to have a

home team in touch. Wilson then went on an impressive 15-9 run closing out the set in impressive fashion to take a 2-0 lead heading into the third set. What proved to be the final set began well for Wilson as they gained an early lead.

However, the Mighty Macs pegged them back in the midway point of the set with the score 15-14. The Phoenix then took command going on a 6-2 run which ultimately led to their victory closing the set out 25-19.

Senior Aaron Hoke ’19 had a standout game at the front of the court finishing with 16 kills and 5 aces leading the way for the Phoenix. Ian Firestone ‘20 provided the platform for the Wilson offence ending up with 28 assists while Evan Hoke ’19 stood firm on the defensive end with 15 digs denying the Mighty

Macs offence.

According to supporter Julianne Winkler ’22, attendance at this game further fueled the home team with quite a few students and faculty attending the game.

Next up for the Phoenix are midweek games against Trine University and Mes-

strong first season for the Phoenix.

Overall, a big season is in store for the softball team.

A strong balance of youth and experience in this team suggests that Brett Cline’s side will perform well in this new conference. The goal for the Phoenix this season, as Buzard ’21 notes, “We are striving to make an impact on this new conference and our goal is to be in the playoffs.”

After that, Cheek settled in to throw three consecutive scoreless innings. When Cheek stepped out to pitch in the fifth inning, Gallaudet went on to score five runs to take a lead of 6-0, and they carried that lead into the sixth inning. In the seventh inning, the last inning of the game, Phoenix came up to hit and began to battle. It started with

The New York Experience During The CMA Conference

By Hannah Middaugh

Arriving at the train station at 3:45 p.m. on Wed. March 6, 2019 in New York was an experience I will never forget.

After figuring out how to get out of the train station, anxiety bubbled up as I was trying to describe to the Uber driver where our group of four were standing so he could pick us up. Luckily for my anxiety, a very nice security guard got on the phone for me and described to the Uber driver where we were. Driving through the city for the first time was a mixture of both anxiety and amazement. The buildings were spectacular, but the driving through part of the ride was a bit on the scary side of things.

Our hotel was in the center of Times Square. All the Broadway theaters were around us, including ones that were playing “Hamilton” and “The Lion King.” A forty-plus floor building, the Marquis Marriott Hotel was something else.

com, “No, really-I’m With the Band” with Sonya Singh, and “Women’s Work: How to Rule the Media” with a panel of talented women in journalism.

Between sessions and after sessions, our group of four would venture out into the city to explore. We got to see Radio City, The Plaza Hotel (which made 10-year-old Hannah very happy!), Central Park, The Hard Rock Café, and Rockefeller Center. We tried different places for food for every meal, experiencing different tastes and styles of food.

Not only did I get to experience a city that I have never been to, learn new things that were both interesting and fun, I also got to spend time with my fellow editors outside of newsroom. The group of us were already pretty good friends, but I feel like this trip made it easier for us to relax and actually get to hang out with each other. I think we discovered different parts of each other’s personalities on this trip that opened each other’s eyes to how we all interact on a daily basis.

Constant updates and breaking news regarding teams and plays was important to keep fans in the know.

Our evenings consisted of some sightseeing, at least to the places we could walk to easily. Seeing the Rockefeller Center, the Plaza Hotel, and Central Park were definitely highlights. Moreover, the food was great to experience. The reputation of New York Pizza and Sandwiches were definitely worth trying. Having my

friend Lucas Photo by Hannah Middaugh there, acting as our tour guide, provided a big help as we attempted to negotiate the hustle and bustle of the city. It was nice to experience a city, rather than the rural surroundings of Chambersburg. The noise and movement of the city is certainly something to experience. I highly recommend New York to everyone. The only downside was the cold and the bitter wind that went straight through you, so make sure you go during the summer.

The government will not charge a fee to people in Venice, commuters, students, and children under six. This tax will be included on the train ticket, cruise ships, or any transportation you get.

The Italian city’s tourist tax only applies to people spending the night. Tourists already pay a similar “landing tax”. However, in Venice, the number of visitors has increased and streets have become busier. Venetians have long complained that mass tourism is swamping the

tourists and locals. This new law is the most extreme and latest solution to handle the nearly 30 million tourists who visit Venice each year.

The government says the money collected will be used for expenses such as waste management and maintenance of the city. The Mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, said this tax would generate much-needed income to keep the city clean, to better manage the city, and offer visitors better services. The mayor also said that the introduction of this measure would improve the living environment of Venice.

Wilson College Offers Washington D.C. Day Trip around the Garden.

By Hanseul Kim

Wilson College has offered a chance to visit D.C. for $25. It’s a round trip price for one day. You need to sign up with Lorie Helman prior to the day if you are interested in going.

There’s only one chance left on the 27th of April.

The shuttle will leave campus at 8 a.m. and be back to campus around 7-8 p.m. On the day trip you can see most museums and famous tourist spots which are free to visit.

Here are some nice tour spots!

The White House

mSince you are in the U.S. capital, it is good to visit the White House where the President lives! The park around the White House is also great to take a walk on a sunny day. Unfortunately, you cannot enter the inside of the building without an advance reservation.

Radioactive Dead Man Remains Found in Arizona

By Luis Gonzalez

Back in 2017, a deceased 69-year-old cancer patient was cremated. A few days prior to his death, the man had been injected with a dose of a radioactive compound called lutetium, Lu 177 dotatate, which is used to measure a tumor’s SSR

density. Upon incineration, it was revealed that radioactive and potentially dangerous compound still resided within his body and risked being spread around the facility. A month after the cremation, workers used a Geiger Photo by ClipArt counter and found elevated levels of radiation coming from inside the cremation chamber.

Recently, a new study showed the collateral risks that are potentially posed by the millions of nuclear medicine procedures involving

radiopharmaceuticals performed in the U.S. Another recent study demonstrated that a different radioac-

was found in the man. With this, researchers say that it is possible for the workers in the crematory to have been exposed to volatilized technetium Tc 99m. Although the problem of accidental volatilization could potentially be a widespread health and safety risk, the amount of radiation detected of lutetium Lu 177 and Tc 99m were low to the point of not being considered dangerous.

United Methodist Church Votes Against LGBT+ Clergy tions that went around sex marriage nor gay

By Olivia Shirk

From Feb. 23-26, United Methodist leaders from around the world met in St. Louis, MO to discuss changing their discipline to openly allowing gay marriage and LGBT+ clergy within the Methodist faith.

Many United Methodist youths were nervous as to what this vote would bring for the future of the church.

Unfortunately, the church voted to not change their discipline and even created a disaffiliation plan for members previously of the church to leave their ties.

It was a disappointing blow, to say the least. The Methodist denomination of Christianity bases its beliefs on being openly welcoming and accept-

ing, and the leaders have failed that mission in today’s world.

Outside the conference building, protesters demonstrated for the open inclusion of LGBT+ members. Many of the

youth, and even older members of the church, have made their displeasure at the leaders’ decision known through social media and peti-

before the vote took place. The Methodist church has an article detailing what happened at the conference on their official page, and they have stated that

Photo Provided by Flickr

LGBT+ people are still welcome within the church body.

The discipline has not explicitly prohibited same-

clergy, however some activist groups feel it is not enough.

While things are fairly settled at the moment, LGBT+ people of the Methodist faith have a lot to think about concerning the churches they attend. It is entirely up to the individual church and pastor (which does get switched every so often, like Catholicism) to decide whether or not they allow same-sex marriage or clergy as part of the One Church Plan.

Depending on the area this church is in, they may not feel safe or welcome. In future conferences and meetings of United Methodist leaders, they will certainly be feeling the pressure to make these changes.

(Warning Explicit) YNW Melly Turns Himself In

By Luis Gonzalez

On Feb. 13, 19-year-old Florida rapper, Jamell Demons, best known as YNW Melly, turned himself in for the fatal shootings of aspiring rappers Anthony Williams, known as YNW Sakchaser, and Christopher Thomas Jr., known as YNW Juvy.

Despite pleading not guilty and claiming that his two friends died in a drive-by, he was charged

with two counts of firstdegree murder due to police finding forensic evidence pointing towards Melly being the killer.

Authorities also declared that Melly staged the crime scene to resemble a drive-by shooting with the help of Cortlen Henry, known as YNW Bortlen.

YNW Melly had previously served a one-year jail sentence on account of firing a

gun towards a group of people near Vero Beach High School. During this time in jail, he wrote the hit song “Murder On My Mind,” which was released a little over a year before the deaths of Williams and Thomas. Regardless of this, the song “Murder On My Mind,” has been misleadingly used as a “confession” various times due to the detailed way that it described a

murder. With lyrics like “I didn’t even mean to shoot ‘em, he just caught me by surprise,” and “His body dropped down to the floor, and he had teardrops in his eyes.” It is easily understood why some confusion was started regarding the song and the two murders. As of Feb 14, Jackie Powell, Broward’s jail judge, ordered that Melly should remain in jail without bond.

she is. The movie takes a twist when she travels to planet C-53(Earth) and finds out that is where she was born.

She discovers the lady from her dreams was a very important part of her life and finds out her true past. It turns out the dreams she had been having were memories, and the lady she had been dreaming of had ahold of the Tesseract. As Marvel fans know from the other Marvel movies, the Tesseract plays a key role in the series.

Its major rule comes from the most recent ‘Avengers’ movie when

Thanos got rid of half of the population in the universe with the help of Tesseract’s powers. The real mystery comes from the end of the movie. You find out that Captain Marvel’s powers are different from everyone else and come from the energy of the Tesseract.

This energy lives inside of her and maybe it could be a clue to what is coming in the new Avengers movie, ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ A preview is also played right before the credits which fast forwards to the Avengers meeting Captain Marvel.

Overall, this movie sets a good scene for the next Avengers movie.

This movie is a great introduction into the world of Captain Marvel.

Going into the movie, I read other reviews saying it was boring and feministic, only showcasing female power; however, after watching the movie, I can say that Marvel did a great job balancing female power and action in the movie.

Her real name is Carol Danvers, and the movie starts out by showing us a planet called Hala, which she supposedly comes from.
