Living on campus is an integral part of the college experience. Learning to do laundry and putting up with roommates are special skills that are not taught in a class-room. Dorms become the cen-ter of a student’s life, and it is important that the space they live in is one they enjoy. To facilitate ease of student life, Wilson offers four different housing options for students. In Disert Hall, there are di-vided doubles. A storage unit splits the room in half, which allows separation between roommates. In MacElwain/Davidson Hall, the rooms are open doubles. In this layout, a student is in constant con-tact with their roommate. Riddle Hall and South Hall are commonly upperclassman housing, but underclassmen are eligible to reside within these residences. Riddle’s suites are made up of two open doubles that are connected by a bathroom. Typically, these spaces are shared by four stu-dents, but due to occupancy projections, some rooms in Riddle will house up to three or four students next year. The suites in South come in either one room with an ensuite bath-room or two rooms with ensuite bathroom. These suites will house either 2 or 3 students. Another important change is that buyouts will no longer be an option. The only excep-tion to this rule will be if the student has ADA accommo-dations. Also, the current RA rooms will be repurposed as standard student dorms, and the RAs will be relocated to alternate arrangements. Students are sometimes un-aware of what their housing options look like, and can make it diffi cult to choose what op-

tion they want. In order to dis-pel confusion, Director of Resi-dence Life Sherri Sadowski coordinates a series of events during room selection season. The fi rst of the three events takes place during the week after spring break. “The week after spring break, we will be doing hall tours from 9-10 a.m. and each hall has a different day,” said Sadowski. “That way if students see there is a hall they are not familiar with, they have a chance to see the public spaces and an exam-

ple of a typical room.” This allows students to more easily picture what it would be like to live in these halls mak-ing the decision process easier. The following Sunday, March 29, Sadowski will hold a room mixer. This gives stu-dents the opportunity to look for a potential roommate. “We’ll be in lower Lenfest, and I’ll have the all of the fl oorplans out,” said Sadowski. “I’ll also have marked what has been squatted and what is ...”Hous-ing” Continued on page 8...

THE BILLBOARD CAMPUS FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 20152

EDITORIAL MISSION STATEMENT The Wilson Billboard is a once-monthly student-run newsmagazine serving the Wilson College and Chambersburg community. Our mission is to relay important information to the campus and provide a forum for intelligent and democratic discussion. To fulfi ll this mission, the Billboard recognizes the many goals of the Wilson community and strives to encourage communication between students, faculty, staff and administration in an ethical and non-biased fashion.

Students Celebrate Unity Across the Nations On March 7, the Internation-al Club will be hosting their annual Muhibbah Dinner. The event consists of two parts, including a culturally-diverse dinner to be held in Jensen Dining Hall followed by perfor-mances set in Laird Hall. The dinner will begin at 6:00 p.m., while the performances will start promptly at 7:30 p.m. The event is entirely stu-dent-driven through the In-ternational Club, known as Muhibbah, which stands for “Unity among nations.” The club’s current advisor is Paul Miller, the Interna-tional Student and Scholar Services director on campus. Some of the dishes featured at the dinner will include Naan (Asian bread), Bo Kho (Vietnamese beef stew), Ta-jin (Tunisian egg dish), and American rice pudding. Im-mediately following the din-ner, the international stu-dents along with other club

members, will present a show that will include a variety of dances, a martial arts display, and a cultural fashion show. The free event is open to the public along with Wilson stu-dents and faculty, though dona-tions are greatly encouraged. All donations collected from the event will support the local non-profi t organization “Wom-en in Need of Chambersburg.” The international dinner has remained a tradition on Wilson’s campus since the 1980’s. Miller described the event as “an opportunity for local residents to experience international cultures, both in food and performances. Last year was our largest attendance, when approxi-mately 300 came to the din-ner and an even large number attended the performance.” Students involved in this event feel particularly pas-sionate about the dinner and performance because it allows them to showcase the diversity

of Wilson’s campus communi-ty. The event is largely about celebrating the diversity that exists among Wilson students. “Muhibbah dinner is an important event on campus,” said Neena Gurung ’15. “The members strive to promote diversity and acceptance of cultures and traditions from various parts of the world, and we use this event as a way to share our culture with every-one here. Students get the op-portunity to learn about other countries and their traditions and celebrate diversity on cam-pus. Plus, it is a free event!” For some Wilson students and faculty, this will be their fi rst year participating in Muhibbah Dinner. Katia Sosa Da Silva, who is currently the Spanish Teaching Assistant on campus, said, “For many of us it will be the fi rst time per-forming in front of a big audi-ence, and also the fi rst time performing the show. This event requires mutual collabo-

ration among the students, and it is amazing to see how they are willing to help others.” Other Wilson students have grown accustomed to the tradi-tion of Muhibbah Dinner such as Kisha Pradhan ’15, who feels that, “Despite being such a small college, we have inter-national students from differ-ent parts of the world. I think it is a different experience for Wilson students because they get to know about other cul-tures, costumes and food. It gives us a reason to come to-gether, share our cultures, languages and traditions.” This event is sure to at-tract a large crowd of com-munity diversity among Wil-son and the Chambersburg as a whole. Be sure to attend the performances to support the International Club while embracing the assortment of cultures fostered on campus.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Celia Whitcomb, I am the class president of the fi rst co-ed class of 2017, I am the Academic Affairs Chair-person on WCGA, I am a Resi-dent Assistant, I am treasurer and ride for two wonderful equestrian teams, I am a Wil-son Scholar student and re-cently I joined the Billboard. I wrote the article about the Wilson Charter, not some fake name. Look me up, I exist, and I will own up to these words every time. I am from Massa-chusetts, where I learned to speak truthfully, respect oth-ers, and not to judge. I learned

that “Kah-keys” means car keys, and to hate takes too much effort. I learned to “kill them with kindness” because you’ll end up with allies instead of enemies. To the women who felt I was attacking them, I apologize for making you feel that way. However, I will not apologize for the words that I wrote. This is a student newspaper and I write for the students. I have no hate directed towards you; I have respect for those who came before me, but I will not stand for people who do not know me attacking me. I spent a lot of time on that ar-ticle, making sure that I was

not attacking anyone, but it is hard to do that and speak the truth. You have bumped me off the page, but I still see it. I have read the words that have been written before about our students, I have talked to other students and gotten their emotions towards a small group of alumnae. It is not all but it is some. I understand the frustration and anger to-wards some of our college’s de-cisions, but the decisions have been made. I look at it as a women’s pro college with men as students. Our men are still required to take women’s his-tory and go through the same liberal arts curriculum as my-self. I do not look at it as a loss, but a gain. Imagine a world

where more people, not men, but people were feminists? Where people care about equal rights for everyone, where the wage gap no longer exists and the ratio of women to men in the work place is one to one. The defi nition of feminism is not burning bras and hating men. It is equal right for ev-eryone, from those who iden-tify as female to those who identify as male. I am proud to see this college promote a feminist ideal. Where the struggle of women is not for-gotten but taught, and those who graduate are educate on the struggles of everyone and seek a “more perfect union.” I write for the Billboard, and I am damn proud, too.

“I have my own because they never work.”

How do you feel about the

campus printers?

“I hate them. There are not enough in the main buildings, and it takes way too long to fi x

them when they break.”

Alyssia Bianco ’16

“They don’t work half the time. I wish they were more effi cient.”

“There should be more color printers on campus.”

One Sided Printing-Printer Rage! I came to Wilson last Spring after graduating from Rut-gers in May 2013. I remember my campus tour guide rav-ing about how the Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics and Technol-ogy was Gold LEED-certifi ed. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. We discussed the Ful-ton Farm for Sustainability and how the farm supplied the dining hall with fresh produce. I laughed when my guide said that some of the larger classes would complain about thirty students in a class. I had 400 students in my sec-tion for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Organic Chemis-try. There were usually three or four sections for the class. Yes, you read that correct-ly: FOUR-HUNDRED stu-dents in just my section. I had one professor tell us

upfront that he only wrote let-ters of recommendation for the top ten percent of the entire class. I was impressed by all the accomplishments Wilson, a much smaller college, had under its belt considering that my alma mater’s New Bruns-wick campus spans three cities. On the drive back home, I made my decision to pur-sue the Equine Journal-ism degree Wilson offered.My fi rst English class was Ad-vanced Exposition taught by Dr. Woolley, which is a writ-ing-intensive class. I headed into the computer lab in Warf-ield to print out an assignment to fi nd that the printer was not working. So, I ran over to the Science Center and found a computer lab to print my paper. I did not double check if the printer was set to print double-sided because at Rutgers all printers are automatically set to print double-sided to save

paper. I had assumed that Wil-son, an institution that prides itself on being environmental-ly conscious, would have the same settings. I was wrong. I cursed the printer gods that day assuming that it was a glitch and ran to class. Fun-ny thing was that the problem kept occurring until I realized that every printer on this cam-pus has to be set to print dou-ble-sided. Even then, you have to pray to the printer gods, maybe add in a special dance, to get the printer to cooperate. Setting all the printers on campus to print double-sid-ed that are capable of doing so would be both a fi nancial and environmentally-friend-ly move. Wilson will save money on paper and reduce paper consumption by chang-ing the defaults. I am sure I am not the only one to deal with the printer struggle, and I certainly won’t be the last.

Zumba Makes Students “Shake It Off” On Wednesday, Feb. 25 in Lenfest Lobby, students participated in the Resident Assistant-organized pro-gram titled “Shake It Off”, a Zumba workout session. The Zumba workout was in-structed by Erin from the Central Presbyterian Church of Chambersburg. Laugh-ter fi lled the dance fl oor as the students danced to a va-riety of music genres, from African to Pop to Latin. RA Nicole Melanson ‘15 said the RAs wanted to come up with a health and fi tness program for the months of February and March. She also wanted to get people involved in something other than going to the gym. When asked about how she thought the event turned out she responded, “It was a lot more successful than I had ex-pected it to be. We had at least 50 people there which was real-ly good. I was expecting maybe 20 or 30, so it went really well.” For Melanson, the best part was the salsa dancing. “I liked the salsa dancing. I think she put the most effort

into making that funny because it was one of the harder dances.” Melanson also re-marked that the in-structor was really upbeat and worked well with the group. For Emily Sul-livan ‘18, “Shake It Off” was a way for her to get out of her dorm room. “I’m living in a single this year so it’s nice to branch out. It’s hard to fi nd motivation to go to the gym by myself, so this was a good way to get out and do that with my friends and get some exercise.” When asked if she could see herself doing Zumba on a reg-ular basis, Sullivan respond-ed, “Yes, actually. It would be really neat if the college had weekly Zumba classes.” Molly McElroy ‘17 thought “Shake It Off” was better than workouts she has done before. “It was more fun, and people were all engaged. It was really fun music and everyone was

having a good time.” McEl-roy also thought the dance moves were kind of hard but fun once you got into it. “All you had to do was keep mov-ing and just wiggle something and you were doing well.” Lauren Hampton ’17 also enjoyed herself. She came to “Shake It Off” because she did Zumba in high school and wanted to check it out. She had a lot of fun and sees this as something she could en-joy on a regular basis. When asked if she was comfort-

able dancing in front of oth-ers, she responded, “Maybe just a little bit nervous but not enough to stop me, so no.” Hampton said she would recommend Zumba to a friend because it is a fun and great way to get moving. After Zumba, the students enjoyed refreshments includ-ing smoothies, fruits and veg-etables while watching two video presentations by McEl-roy entitled, “I am who I am” and “Beautiful Me” which pro-motes positive body image.

Those who missed dynamic speaker Leslie Durgin on Feb. 23 missed an engaging and informative lecture focused on her career after Wilson. A 1969 alumnae, Durgin spoke about the years following her graduation and how her skills, picked up during her time at Wilson, have helped her throughout the years. Like many, Durgin experienced quite a few career changes including volunteer work, hu-man services, banking, wom-en’s health, and government. As many Wilson graduates are known to do, Durgin found herself challenging the think-ing of those around her were thinking, providing new per-spectives that helped to solve problems. Her time in banking realized her passion in public

service when Durgin pitched an idea to change the bank in order to help the public. She later found herself in the public sector, becoming a four-term mayor of Boulder, Colo-rado as well as the senior vice president of Planned Parent-hood of the Rocky Mountains. Throughout the twists and turns of her career, Durgin has gained a wealth of knowl-edge and advice to give to students that is invaluable. Much of her lecture was fo-cused on the idea of knowing oneself. She encouraged stu-dents to fi nd humor in situ-ations and to know what it is that you truly want. Durgin advised, “Take issues seri-ously, others seriously, your-self not so seriously and give it a whirl.” When it comes to job offers, she asks herself, “Is

it really what I want? What’s the conversation in my head?” Career decisions will come and go. Durgin advised stu-dents to take the opportunities and discover their passions. “Follow your heart in love and career,” she said. “Follow your head and your heart.” She challenged graduates to bring science to the hu-manities, to hold a creative and inquiring mind, to cre-ate and frame the informa-tion given, and to learn from their failures. Durgin also advised current students to pay attention to “transfer-able” skills—skills that can be applied to one’s career—and one’s own personality traits. “Understand your tolerance to risk,” she said. “Put people on your team by asking for help… asking for help I truly

believe to be a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness.” Even she admits that she of-ten has trouble turning down offers, and she recommends students to ask for advice from others who can offer a different perspective on the situation. Durgin herself has a comical indicator of when she knows to turn down the offer. This happens when coming home, her husband remarks, “‘Two bottles of wine?’ I don’t think this is going anywhere good.” She also reminds students that it is okay to recognize when it is time to give the op-portunity to someone else. The speaker series at Wilson will continue with its theme of success on Thurs, Apr. 16 at 6 p.m. in the Brooks Sci-ence Complex auditorium, the speaker soon to be announced.

VMT Students Attend Veterinary Conference

Fulton Farm’s Sarah Bay, F.R.E.S.H. from Nicaragua

Feb. 19 – Feb. 22, 2015, Pro-fessor of Veterinary Medicine Tammy Ege and students in the Veterinary Medical Tech-nology program attended the Midwest Veterinary Con-ference in Columbus, Ohio. Located at the Greater Co-lumbus Convention Center and hosted by the Ohio Vet-erinary Medical Association (OVMA), the convention held a variety of lectures and exhibits. Lectures included topics that ranged from animal be-havior and holistic medicine to anesthesia protocols and other technician techniques. The large variety of top-ics and speakers gave VMT students plenty of opportuni-ties to increase and reinforce their knowledge of concepts, techniques and diseases. Danielle Boock ’17, an ADP student in the VMT program, said, “I had a great time. I went

to the feline behavior seminar. I went to learn about laser therapy and also acupuncture in veterinary medicine, and I also attended some holistic veterinary medicine talks.” Along with the lectures and presentations, the convention held an expo in the Exhibit Hall. The expo contained booths that displayed everything from food companies such as Hills and Purina to technol-ogy companies that showcased the newest gadgets in veteri-nary medicine including anes-thesia machines, ultrasound, and digital radiography. Students could peruse the expo asking questions about equipment that Wilson does not currently have on campus and inquire about the new-est products in pet care. The different fl ea and tick medi-cations that were featured al-lowed students to see what new options there were out in the working veterinary world.

The trip to Colum-bus was an enriching and educational experience. “I learned so much and took so many notes,” said Boock. “I can’t believe all the different information and options that are out there for me as a vet-erinary technician.” This conference provided endless opportunities for stu-

dents to meet, consult, and con-nect with countless well-known individuals in the veterinary community. The expo allowed the students to experience new technology and products, and the lectures provided new edu-cational opportunities. The re-sponse to the trip was extreme-ly positive and Wilson plans for more trips in the future.

On Feb. 21 at 1:30 p.m., as a blizzard sweptacross Wilson’s campus, the fi rst installment of the F.R.E.S.H. series took place in Allen Auditorium. At the event, Fulton Farm Manager Sarah Bay gave a talk about a recent trip that she took to Nicaragua. Com-munity members, along with Wilson students and staff, gathered to listen to Bay’s newfound perspective on the relationship between cultures and sustainable agriculture. Bay’s discussion, titled “The Land of Lakes and Volcanoes: Travels to Nicaragua,” was focused on her personal expe-riences while traveling in Cen-tral America during Decem-ber. The trip was organized through the Young Grower Alliance out of Penn State University along with Project Gettysburg Leon. The purpose was to promote involvement in

projects currently underway in Nicaragua while offering a cul-turally immersive experience for the participants. It was a trip marked by the theme of adventure and sustainabil-ity, made complete with volca-noes, paddle-boarding, outdoor showers and plenty of hands-on learning opportunities. Along with learning about Nicaragua’s culture and land-scape, Bay gained a large wealth of knowledge that she can apply to our very own Ful-ton Farm. She discussed the possibility of incorporating a permaculture garden in the future, inspired by the “food forests” that are prominent in Nicaraguan agricultural practices. Additionally, she learned about adaptability of farming practices, especially in relation to resiliency in the face of unpredictable weather. When asked about her opin-ion of the presentation, Bay said, “It was a good chance for

me to refl ect on what I learned in Nicaragua and how it can re-late to the farming practices at the Fulton Farm and also the wider trends in sustainable and organic agriculture and food in our communities and country.” Bay believes that experi-ences like her own are very important for students. “I would encourage any stu-dent to explore, pursue, and embrace traveling abroad, and especially to places differ-ent from the United States,” said Bay. “By seeking out traveling and educational ex-periences you become more understanding and apprecia-tive of the new culture that surrounds you. You grow as a person in countless tan-gible and intangible ways.” Bay’s talk functioned as a fascinating opening install-ment to the F.R.E.S.H. series while also serving as a bridge between the Wilson commu-nity and Nicaraguan culture.

The F.R.E.S.H. series will continue throughout the months of March and April with more programs relat-ing to agriculture and food systems. From the perspec-tive of a Wilson faculty mem-ber, Associate Professor of Philosophy John Elia be-lieves that the F.R.E.S.H. se-ries is an important event. “As pressures to scale up food production increase with population increases, we more than ever have to pay atten-tion to what we eat,” said Elia. The next events include a discussion of Food Sources and Systems at Renfrew Institute on March 12 at 7:00 p.m. Ad-ditionally, there will be a book chat on March 14 held on cam-pus to discuss Daphne Miller’s compelling book, “Farmacol-ogy.” With opportunities that extend across the world and back again, it is easier than ever to get F.R.E.S.H. at Wilson.

International: Happy Lunar New Year!

Have you ever heard of the Lunar New Year? Most people think this event is the same as Chinese New Year, but that is not the case. Most Asian coun-tries celebrate the start of a new lunar cycle as their New Year, so the correct term is “Lunar New Year.” This year on Feb. 19, most Asian coun-tries began their holidays. Compared to the calendar New Year that occurs on Jan. 1 of each year, the date of the Lunar New Year changes each year as it follows the lu-nar calendar instead of the solar calendar. Although the countries that celebrate Lu-nar New Year also celebrate calendar New Year, the Lu-nar New Year is the more im-portant and traditional event. In Korea, Lunar New Year, called Seollal, is the biggest hol-iday. Seollal is a government

holiday composed of three days. Koreans go back to their hometown and gather together with their relatives. Follow-ing tradition, they have Jesa, which is a memorial service for ancestors. After Jesa, they have Saebae, which is Korea’s tradi-tional way of greeting. Saebae is a traditional way for the young to respect their seniors. After Saebae, the elders give money to the young, granting good luck in the coming year. The most important part is eating tteokguk, which is a soup with thinly sliced rice cakes. By eating tteokguk, you truly become one year older. In Vietnam, Tet is the name for the Lunar New Year. It is also the big-gest holiday in Vietnam. Hong Nguyen ’18 from Viet-nam said, “It’s a huge holi-day. We celebrate the night of (Lunar) New Year. We would make a big meal and

then pray and eat it together, and then for the next three days we go visit our relatives.” Similar to Korea, in Viet-nam they give money to each other in a red envelope. Nguy-en said, “We always put it in a red envelop, which repre-sents happiness and wealth.” The Vietnamese also eat special food: rice cakes called Bahn chung and Bahn day, “A square of rice, bean and pork, wrapped in banana leaves,” according to Nguyen. This was the fi rst time that Nguyen missed her county’s Lunar New Year. “It really means a lot to me because this is my fi rst time being away from home and not being able to celebrate Lunar New Year with my family,” said Nguyen. “It’s sad because I really miss it.” In China, they call the Lu-nar New Year holiday Chun-jie. A long time ago, the Chi-

nese believed in a monster that devoured people. The monster was afraid of loud sounds, the color red and fi re. People now set off fi re-works and show off red items to commemorate their safe-ty. Just like in Vietnam, the Chinese also give money to each other in red envelopes. Han Yan ’15 from China said, “It’s one of the biggest holi-days. Chunjie is like a spring festival. Families get together and have meals and watch traditional performances.” People typically prepare fi sh the day before and keep it until the next day to bring wealth in the New Year. It would be unfortunate to mistake Lunar New Year for Chinese New Year because there are other countries who celebrate Lunar New Year in different ways. Learning and experiencing other cultures helps us know the difference.

If you have eaten in Wilson College’s dining hall before the start of the 2015 spring semester, you may have no-ticed that it was a little out-dated. However, due to the hard work of Tim Dawe, Di-rector of Dining Services, ma-jor changes have taken place. Through a series of meetings and armed with an array of opinions from students, Dawe and Wilson came together to fi gure out what immediate changes needed to be made. The fi rst change was to re-model the fl oor. Due to water damage and general wear and tear, the fl oor was buckled and noisy. Over J-term, the en-tire fl oor was redone and the renovation took the length of winter break to complete. The second change made was adding variety to the menu. Breakfast now includes fresh cut fruit and waffl e makers on Wednesdays. Grilled lunch

items are now on a four week rotation. There is a notice-able absence of grilled cheese Fridays, but with the new Pa-nini maker added to Classic Cuts students can have grilled cheese anytime. Finally, din-ner includes a grilled option, more kid-friendly choices for the Women with Children, and better vegetarian selections. The changes to the menu may not seem drastic. How-ever, those who have visited the dining hall have noticed the changes. “Last semester to me the food was disgust-ing,” said Kirsten Bilger ’18. “Now they have improved and the food has fl avor.” Lastly there was a remodel of the kitchen. The serving bars have been pushed back and provide a more open and inviting space to get food. It clears up the drink area so that the two lines are not merged into one. Being near the grill provides more opportunities for students to interact with

staff. The staff is more invit-ing and it is easier for students to thank and appreciate them. These changes are not the last for Wilson’s dining hall. Dawe has plans to make the serving areas in the din-ing hall more user-friendly and to push for longer hours. It is not known when those

changes will be in effect but Dawe is striving to make the dining experience at Wilson the best it can possibly be. If you want to see other things improved or to com-ment on the new changes please leave a comment card at the table located near the entrance to the dining hall.

Popular Band Against The Current Rocks Wilson

On Monday, March 30, the band Against the Current will perform a concert at Wilson, and they have everyone talk-ing about their amazing sound. Against The Current formed in 2011 in Poughkeepsie, New York and started their You-Tube page the same year. Since then, they have posted original songs as well as covers. They have racked up over 840,000 subscribers and well over 60 million video views--an im-pressive feat for a small band. The band has three mem-bers: Chrissy Costanza on vocals, Dan Gow on guitar/vo-cals and Will Ferri on drums. On their Facebook page, they technically defi ne themselves as a pop rock band, but it could be argued that they are a bit alternative, having a sound similar to the band Flyleaf. Though it may seem cliché to mention, they also have a sound reminiscent to the bands Paramore and We Are The In-Crowd—as both bands also feature female lead singers. Coincidently, Ferri’s broth-er, Mike Ferri, is the bass-ist for We Are The In-Crowd, and also serves as Against

The Current’s analog manager. Recently, the band released their latest EP, “Gravity,” a follow up to their fi rst EP, “Infi nity.” Their fi rst sin-gle off the new EP, title song “Gravity,” has garnered over three million views on You-Tube. The be-ginning beats draw you in, soon followed by Costanza’s sweet voice, which has a delicate feel until hitting the chorus, where her voice pitches into higher octave, while the band keeps the mu-sic strong in the background. This style keeps a similar sound with the single from “Infi nity:” “Another You (An-other Way).” However, in comparison to their single “Closer, Faster” from “Infi n-ity,” Against the Current’s new sound has gone a bit edgier. Whether you like pop rock music or not, give them a try.

Upon fi rst listen, you may fi nd yourself impressed with Costanza’s voice. It may seem unreal that a voice like that is still trying to make it big. Ferri comes in with those timed beats on drums, and combined with Gow on gui-tar, this band proves a mas-terpiece. And to think, as you read this article, they still have yet to be offi cially signed. Against the Current is cur-

rently on the Glamour Kills Spring Break Tour with fel-low pop rock band Set It Off. They are making a stop at Wilson nearing the end of the tour thanks to our very own Campus Activities Board setting up the event. You won’t want to miss this performance. Be sure to check out their two EPs so you can sing along when they visit later this month.

...Continued from page 1.taken offl ine and held for the in-coming class. It’s a good chance to see what’s available and also, they’ll have their lottery num-bers so they can ask me what that may means for them.” After deciding on potential rooms and roommates, room selection will take place. An email with more precise de-tails will be sent out clos-er to the date of selection. Another issue is the continu-ing transition to a co-ed cam-pus. Currently, all residential men live on a single sex fl oor in Davidson except for fi ve who are in Riddle. Next year,

with incoming freshman be-ing added to the mix, the halls will truly begin to go co-ed. However, for those who pre-fer living in single sex halls, Sadowski says, “We want to maintain a single sex option for men and women, so there will still be a single sex female fl oor on the Mac side and a single sex male fl oor on the Dav side.” Housing on campus is an ever-changing game and Sad-owski is in charge of keeping it running smoothly. Although she cannot make guarantees about how things may change from year to year, students can communicate with her and she will do her best to make sure that all parties are satisfi ed.

Housing

The 2014-15 academic year continues to add remarkable chapters and memories to the history of Wilson. As prom-ised, WCGA has furthered its outreach and engagement in the Wilson community by collaborating with many committees to spread aware-ness and emphasize the role of students in regards to a variety of issues on campus. WCGA has worked with the newly-formed faculty senate to re-create the traditional Spring Convocation and plan “Pushing up Daisies,” an event dedicated to honoring the se-nior class. The event took place on Feb. 10, and brought the Wilson community to-gether, including faculty, staff, and students, to celebrate the seniors’ accomplishments and memories at Wilson. In addition to funding dif-ferent student organizations and clubs, WCGA has appor-tioned money to the senior, ju-nior, sophomore, and freshmen classes to help with expenses. The amount given per class depended on its size. WCGA has also funded several trash cans and recycling bins due to their absence in public spaces. WCGA has helped facilitate communication between the student body and the Middle States Committee in order to educate students about the process. Through the Chat n’ Chew sessions, WCGA hosted Professor Dana Harriger, the Chair of Middle States Com-mittee, providing students with the opportunity to ask questions and get more infor-mation. Also, the WCGA Ex-ecutive Council members were educated about the process in order to answer any ques-tions that came up outside of the Chat n’ Chew sessions. As the Wilson community grows, more questions about the smoking policy on campus have emerged. WCGA held an-other Chat n’ Chew session to discuss this topic with students and hear what the have to say.

The session included maps of the campus and asked stu-dents, smokers and non-smok-ers to mark where they want-ed to see no-smoking signs. There was a great consen-sus on enforcing the campus non-smoking policy, therefore, WCGA has formed a smoking-policy committee that includes smoking and non-smoking fac-ulty, staff, and students. The committee’s goal is to further discuss the smoking policy and fi nd ways to implement sanctions. The committee has met with the previous com-mittee members and learned more about the non-smoking policy. Currently, the commit-tee is working on gathering information about the policy and looking for more members. One point worth mention-ing is the American Bear Project. Wilson became part of the “American Bear” tour in Fall 2014 as WCGA spon-sored a fun, educational expe-rience and brought it to the students. “American Bear” is a fi lm that captures young Americans exploring their own culture and yearning for nation-wide connection as they interact with strangers. WCGA hosted Sarah Sellman and Greg Grano, the directors of the fi lm, and held a Q&A session after projecting the fi lm. The fi lm raises questions about how the American iden-tity is defi ned and encourages students to face their fears and navigate barriers in society. As for this spring semester, WCGA members continue to pursue the goals set at the be-ginning of the year by address-ing the students’ concerns and increasing student participa-tion in clubs and organizations by raising awareness of the available resources on campus. WCGA will also continue to work with the smoking-policy committee to make progress. In addition, we will continue to use the following methods to reach out to the student body:

•WCGA General Assembly

and Senate meetings are still being held in the Dining hall during lunch hours to attract a

larger audience. •Chat n’ Chew: night time ses-sions that discuss current top-ics, issues or suggestions that

the students have. •WCGA Offi ce hours: each member of the Executive Council has four offi ce hours a week. Four hours in the offi ce, and two hours that are avail-able to schedule appointments

which provides an opportunity for students to easily access WCGA offi cers for questions,

suggestions, and concerns.

With the WCGA already hard at work, we are happy to see students at this level of energy on campus who are ac-tively cooperating with us. The Executive Council will contin-ue to serve as student leaders and to contribute to helping the Wilson College community.

Emotional Support Animals Enter Halls

Do you have the right spot for Trinity?

tonto

Tonto is a 4-year-old sturdy, gray boy who really wants to be the only companion to his human. He’s quite active and curious, but can also relax and chill out, too. He loves toys and food and enjoys following humans around. Tonto would love to be your “Kemosabe.”

Summer 2014 started the Emotional Support Animal pro-gram at Wilson College. Emo-tional support animals (ESA) provide comfort and emotional support to individuals in the form of companionship. This makes it easy to confuse them with “therapy animals” or “service animals” on campus. Sherri Sadowski, Director of Residence Life, says, “We try to stay away from the ‘therapy’ term because it’s a very grey term and causes confusion.” This confusion comes from the fact that, until recently, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has not provided clari-fi cation on what defi nes an emotional support animal in their Fair Housing Act (FHA). The ESA program was not started because there were re-quests for the college to provide such a service. Changes to the FHA law required landlords to allow ESAs. Since Wilson provides student housing, they fi t under the term “landlord”

and must abide by FHA law. The law defi nes an emo-tional support animal as “an animal that is necessary to af-ford a person with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling when there is an identifi able rela-tionship or nexus between the person’s disability and the as-sistance the animal provides.” An individual and animal must have a connection be-yond the owner-pet relation-ship. There must exist identi-fi able proof that the animal’s presence is benefi cial to the individual’s well-being. FHA law does not cover service animals. Instead, ser-vice animals are covered by the Americans with Disabili-ties Act (ADA). ADA law de-fi nes service animals as “dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities…Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as ser-vice animals under the ADA.”

In regards to services ani-mals, Sadowski says, “Ser-vice animals are specifi cally trained to provide a service to their owner that the owner is not capable of providing.” This means that the indi-vidual has a physical disabil-ity that requires constant as-sistance, such as a visual or hearing impairment. The ser-vice animal is trained to pro-vide that service and allowed to accompany the individual anywhere and everywhere. This is different from ESAs. Sadowski explains, “Emo-tional support animals are not trained. Their support is by mere presence.” This means that the animal has not been trained to provide a service, such as guiding/di-recting. Its main purpose is to provide stress relief or emo-tional support in the form of companionship and is not al-lowed anywhere other than the individual’s dorm room. If the animal in question is ca-nine or an animal that requires

outside exercise, it is allowed to occupy the campus grounds. However, owners must bring them in and out of public spaces without stopping. This stipulation respects the rights of individuals who have aller-gies or phobias by bringing the animal quickly through the halls. It prevents the spread of dander through the air and limits contact with people. After FHA allowed ESAs to reside on campus, there has been an increase of ESAs on Wilson’s campus as well as other college campuses.Emotional support animals are not just pets. While they give love and affection to their owners, they also pro-vide a legitimate service. Because policies are reviewed every year, Sadowski would appreciate feedback from residents and emotional sup-port animal owners on the program. Members of the Wilson community may con-tact Sadowski regarding the program at sihle@wilson.edu.

On Feb. 24, Paula Kel-linger, M.F.A. Professor of Dance, gave the Orr at Mid-day talk, “Choreographing Minds,” in Laird Hall. One of several presentations, Kellinger’s talk follows the theme “Prophetic Fragments.” “Prophetic Fragments is this notion that in a modern con-text, an ancient tradition is left in fragments,” notes Da-vid True, Associate Professor of Religion and Orr Forum or-ganizer. “It implies pluralism, it’s diverse, it’s marginalized, and there’s also this notion that it’s nevertheless powerful. I love the prophetic because it hints at religions can be criti-cal—it’s not simply a legitimat-ing function, it can be critical. It’s a way of seeing the ‘other.’”

Kellinger speaks of her pro-cess as a choreographer and the similarities in the pro-cesses of others within their own disciplines. She seeks to defi ne the choreographic mind—something she has not yet fulfi lled but is con-stantly working towards. “Making is a form of thought,” Kellinger begins. “It is one that leads you further into your-self; it brings you to an under-standing of your true nature.” Kellinger speaks beauti-fully of dance and choreogra-phy while also taking a critical turn on how, as a discipline, it may also take a turn for the prophetic: “Dance mak-ing engenders knowledge. It sheds lights on and deepens things you’re thinking about. Making is an endless quest

with an ever shifting ground.” Kellinger studied at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronx-ville, New York, receiving an MFA in Dance. She then trav-elled to Adelphi University, receiving her BFA in Dance. Kellinger has worked with Wilson College since 1989, of-fering a vast expanse of knowl-edge which she imparts on a captive audience of thirty or so students, faculty and staff. “A choreographic mind is one that perceives space, ob-jects and sensations in equal proportion to people and their emotional landscape,” she says. “Through that perception, they draw relationships, read movement and meaning, and make meaning in movement.” Through language as fl uid and carefully thought as her

regard for the craft, Professor Paula Kellinger details her understanding of dance as the maker and the mover, culmi-nating at the end of her eigh-teen minute monologue which succinctly ties her discipline to notions of the prophetic. “I’m drawn to the notions of fractured time, fractured memory, fractured thought and fractured culture. In the course of the day, a face will register hundreds of ticks and twitches. In each of these vi-sual and audible cues are clues to the multitude of thoughts that modify them,” she con-cludes. “I have always been fully engaged in the process of making dances. My curios-ity deepens; the wonder of it grows in magnitude. There is nothing in the world like it.”
