She said, “Before, when I told my sister, I had to turn out all the lights in the room and then text her what was wrong with me. I was so embarrassed. It was so hard to talk about it.” With the help of her mother, McElroy arranged a talk in front of her high school assembly, which received an outpouring of support from her fellow students. The Beautiful Me campaign came to life soon after McElroy’s speech and continued with her through her years at Wilson College. McElroy’s recovery has become an inspiration to her fellow friends everywhere she goes. “I found that by helping others see the goodness in themselves, and watching them like a reflection in the mirror, I started to see that in myself,” shared McElroy. “I found my passion in life and my own recovery. Now I want to help people find theirs. And so was born the Beautiful Me campaign in 2012.” Continued on page 7...

College Traditions May Turn Into Ghosts Themselves
For this last issue of The Bullboard, I wrote an article about how the ghosts of Wilson planned to take over the Wilson College Government Association (WCGA) positions due to lack of interest. Unfortunately, some of what I said in this satire is true on campus as of late: student participation in traditional clubsis lacking. I understand being busy, everyone is. College does that to you. Freedom and free time are things of the past as students cram to meet deadlines. However, Wilson is different from many other colleges because of the unique traditions and variety of extracurricular activities and organizations. Unfortunately, due to so many students being “busy,” some of these organizations are dying out. There’s not going to be a yearbook this year. New students might wonder what a Wilson yearbook even is, while juniors and seniors might be confused or concerned. Those who have been here for the past few years know that the
Yearbook club takes pictures and documents different student events throughout the year and create a collection of these memories in the yearbook. The yearbook is then distributed to the returning stu- 2015 and 2016 Yearbooks dents for free. It gives students a chance to reminisce together about their shared experiences. Unfortunately, because of lack of member interest, there will not be a yearbook this year, and potentially ever again. Meanwhile, other organizations are lacking student participation, such as WCGA. The WCGA currently has two members, when the association has seven positions. Elections are coming up, and will any of you be a part of it? The WCGA is the student voice on campus. It
is how many clubs receive their funding and helps us connect to important campus board meetings. Without it, not only does it eliminate a tradition, but it will bring into question is Photo by Jenna Kauffman what really going on with our campus’s politics. Other clubs such as Campus Activities Board (CAB) and Habitat for Humanity have also dwindled in members compared to when I first started at Wilson. Not only does this make it difficult for the clubs to function, but it also has changed the dynamic of them. You may be asking, “Well, then why aren’t you running for WCGA? Why aren’t you trying to resuscitate the Yearbook club? A bit hypocritical to be preaching to the choir,
SOUND-OFF WILSON!
don’t you think?” My answer to this is, I have been focusing on keeping another club floating: Billboard. Thankfully, Billboard has an awesome staff this year and looks promising for the future semesters. However, as Editor, I put a lot of time into it, from long nights during layout weeks to taking the extra time to promote the new issues via email and social media. I am doing my part in keeping a traditional club/ organization at Wilson alive. So, now it’s time for my question. Are you doing the same? Or are you just going to continue to worry about getting in and out of class as fast as possible and then leaving? Traditions have made their mark here at Wilson, and unless more students start contributing, we’re going to see them slowly disappear. They will only be a ghost of what they once were, to look back on in the archives.

Watch Dogs Try to Make Sense of Trump’s Plans

Lawyers have been tasked with investigating Donald Trump's possible conflicts of interest, struggling with a particular oversight system that is ineffective, disjointed and unnecessary. The various lawyers who are working outside and inside the government have a share of Trump's ethics portfolio.
However, no individual can see the full picture. This set up means that in most cases the lawyers are overlaying each other while potential conflict areas go uncovered. There is no clear assignment of roles among these lawyers. This is problematic since there will be a significant amount of overlap. Maybe the bigger issue for the lawyers responsible for the president, business or the White House do have any conflict of interests, according Ronald Bishop at Drexel University. However, in the case that the conflict of interest laws cannot be used on the president directly, something the lawyers near Trump note quickly that the controversies around the president business arrangements tend to bring the lawyers who are working on this issue a lot of political headaches.

Wiretapping
By Mohammed Alameer
Wiretapping often plays a significant role in carrying out criminal investigations. This process involves the use of secret means to monitor, record, and intercept a person's telephone conversation. In today's world, people may not think about wiretapping, believing their lines are secure. In most scenarios, they are secure, but mainly because no one cares to intercept a person's calls. In the U.S., the federal intelligence agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) can get permission for wiretaps from a court that has secret proceedings like the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) as described in the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) Act. However, there various times when wiretaps have trended all over the news and in social media. For instance, when President Donald Trump claimed that his calls were intercepted by the FBI. It is, therefore, important to have an idea of how wiretaps work. It may consist of a lot of technical details, but

The president's visit to his private club in South Florida for three consecutive weekends raised questions that Trump is giving members access to his government. Trump has handed over control of his company to a longtime Trump Organization executive and his two sons. Yet, legal documents show that Trump still holds significant power over the whole operation having the right to reorganize the whole arrangement, the aim of the trust is to keep all his assets together as per Kellner in his book American Nightmare Donald Trump, Media Spectacle, and Authoritarian Populism.

it has a simple concept behind it that anyone can grasp simply. However, this only applies to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and the federal law. A process must be followed so as not to discourage the FBI from tapping just any phone call. There are some crimes that the FBI can use as an excuse to use a wiretap, including terrorism, drug dealing, severe acts of violence, aircraft parts fraud, counterfeiting, and passport misuse. However, to get a wiretap, the Department of Justice needs to file a request with a federal judge. The judge then has to accept the request before the tap takes place. In the wiretap application, it is
from the White House counsel's office and Trump's organization. The government agents are given questions concerning the administration but crippled by the sheer scope of Trump's business operations and the legal restrictions that come from their offices. The president's pre-inauguration business case tended to spread all over 500 objects in which he was either the principle or the sole owner of what was not easy for any layman to understand. However, it turned out that the proper set up used by the president and his family is something of a maze. Sorting that out fell into Trump's organization which is a corporate lawsuit that has no significant ethical background, in which some people tend to worry since it might be unable to push the business to give the required information for assessing conflicts.

common for the prosecutor to describe the person who is going to be eavesdropped on and the information concerning the tap. The judge's order for authorization can last for more than 30 days. If passed, the prosecutor needs to go back to the judge and ask for permission again. When the prosecutor asks the judge, he or she must give an explanation of the previous tap and the findings. Additionally, the judge can order the attorney to provide reports about the wiretaps and what they have discovered in investigations. The prosecutor often needs the Department of Justice’s internal approval to carry out a wiretap. For this form of eavesdropping to take

place, it needs a lot of work. The prosecutor must spend a lot of hours drafting an order and even explaining the importance of carrying out a wiretap in an investigation. It is evident that the FBI often uses wiretaps, but not all the time. This means that there is a likely event that the FBI can be listening in on some phone calls, but this depends on whether the call is determined as posing a threat. Recently, Congress presented the surveillance change. In this, three sections found in the Patriot Act were rejected and contemporary format by the American party lines was terminated. As a result, this influenced some surveillance of the United States residents that was brought by the Bush administration, supported by former President Barack Obama and secretly manipulated by the National Security Agency (NSA). Section 215 of the Patriot Act, allows secret court orders to collect “tangible things” that can help in a government investigation. The Patriot Act is used by the FBI to access large groups of metadata that had ended. But, the Freedom Act brought it back.

Terrorist Attack in Central London has Global Impact
By Tram Ho
A terrorist attack took place outside the Palace of Westminster in London around 2:40 p.m. on Wednesday, March 22. Five people died and 50 were injured in the attack make it the city’s deadliest terror in 12 years. Khalid Masood, identified as the single assailant of the attack, drove his Hyundai rental car on the sidewalk of Westminster Bridge, killing three pedestrians. Then he approached the Palace of Westminster with two large knives and stabbed an unarmed police officer PC Keith Palmer at Carriage Gate as

Keith was attempting to protect the Parliaments from the terror. Masood was then shot by police. Both Palmer and killer Masood passed away despite attempts to save them. The victims of the attack are from 12 different countries, including three French, four South Koreans, 12 Britons, two Romanians, and one each from America, Poland, Ireland, China, Germany, and Italy. The Islamic State quickly claimed responsibility within less than 24 hours from the violence. Masood’s attack was a consequence of his religious
Privacy
On Tuesday, March 28, Congress passed a law repealing a Barack Obama-era law regarding Internet service providers (ISPs) selling customer data information. In October, former President Obama passed a law that required ISPs to obtain customer consent before providing geolocation, financial information, children’s information, health information, and Web browsing history to companies for advertising and marketing purposes. Congressional repeal means that ISPs do not need any permission in order to sell any information that they obtain from your Internet-connected devices to advertising and marketing companies. Congress also invoked a little-known law that prevents future presidents from attempting to pass any laws similar to the repealed law. This repeal is part of a larger battle concerning net-neutrality laws. Obama was in favor of net neutrality while President Donald Trump has indicated
Laws
that he is against it. The repeal has been hailed as a good thing by telecommunications companies, who complained that it took too much effort to obtain permission for something that large companies such as Google have been doing without permission since at least 2007. The Electronic Frontier Foundation,a nonprofit foundation dedicated to preserving civil rights, and others have commented that the repeal is dangerous to citizens’ privacy. Giving ISPs the right to sell such information as health and financial information and children’s information is a dangerous step. Supporters of net neutrality also state that consumers have more choice in which companies to use in terms of search engines and the like, while having less choice concerning what ISP they use. National Public Radio (NPR) states on its website that there are some things consumers can do to maintain their privacy. First and foremost, they can set up virtual private networks (VPNs) on their
extremism. He was born in Dartford, Kent on Christmas Day in 1964. Masood had a criminal record dating back to 1983 with several convictions including criminal damage or possession of an offensive weapon. There is no certain proof that Masood converted to Islam. However, some say he converted in 2004 when he married a Muslim woman in Crawley, West Sussex and then spent two years in Saudi Arabia. Many consider this behavior to match with the
journey of converters to Islam: they try to live in the Islamic world to fully adopt Muslim faiths and way of life. Masood returned to the UK in 2010 and lived in Luton and then east London till the attack. Police have arrested several suspects and are investigating if Masood had any assistance in planning the attack. The violence prompted the UK to raise the terror alert to “severe” and poses questions about democracy and security to the country’s capital.

Turn on the webbrowser’s “do not track” feature and check emails for any allowing opt-out tracking. Tor or a
similar browser can be used similar to VPNs in that an ISP could detect online presence but not see any sites visited.

Introducing Interim Chaplain Derek Wadlington By Aurora Ortiz
At the beginning of March, Wilson College welcomed Reverend Derek Wadlington as Interim Chaplain for the reminder of the semester. Reverend Wadlington is from Charlottesville, Virginia, and holds a Masters of Fine Arts from Ohio University and a Masters of Devine Graces from Columbia Theological Seminar. Reverend Wadlington has been interested in a full-time position as Wilson’s Chaplain since Chaplain Rosie Magee announced her departure in 2015. When he heard the position was open once again, he talked to Dean of Students Mary Beth Williams about serving as our chaplain for the reminder of the semester. Most of the duties of the chaplain were divided among
the dining hall and welcomes anyone to join. He can also be contacted through email at derek.wadlington@wilson.edu.
Student Development when Reverend Wadlington came to Wilson. His main role was to go out and meet people around campus. “I was told to go and talk to people,” Reverend Wadlington says. “I was asked to listen and understand what it is the students need from a chaplain.” The needs and ways in which people practice their faith is changing. This is why Reverend Wadlington wanted to meet people and understand what it is that students here at Wilson need. He explained that in his life he has learned a lot about religion. He explained that, after talking to students, there is an interest in religion on campus. However, there is not one single mold and everyone practices their faith differently. Reverend Wadlington says
that so far he has had a great experience at Wilson and has met a lot of new people. He really enjoys the different groups of people he encounters not only at Wilson, but everywhere. “There is such a richness in the world,” Wadlington explained. “Rather than using it to divide people we need to figure out how to use it to unite us.” At the moment, Reverend Wadlington is not sure where he will be going after this semester. Although, if the opportunity presents itself, he would be interested in becoming the full time chaplain. Chaplain Wadlington is happy to sit down and talk with anyone who wishes to know him better and talk about the campus community. He can often be found sharing a meal with students in

esting to look and see the diversity from country to country. Elen Harutyunyan is an international student from Armenia. A sophomore at Wilson, Harutyunyan is double majoring in Business and History while minoring in Spanish. Harutyunyan has prior experience with being away from home since she was a high school exchange student in Arizona. She explains that many adjustments have to be made when living in the U.S. as well as being exposed to the culture shock. “The culture is totally different, and it took me awhile to get adjusted,” Harutyunyan expressed. “The hardest thing would probably be understanding a person’s smile, meaning in the U.S. people often smile and are nice to you, but you never know what is behind the smile. Whereas, back at home we are very straightforward, showing our opinion about certain things through emotions. So, I am never faking a smile, and that is, to me, the hardest thing to get adapted to.” Harutyunyan’s main reason for coming to Wilson was
the Bogigian Scholarship, which allows her to save up money to attend law school. “I like the fact that I am learning a lot of things and academically achieving my goals. I like being able to look at things from a different perspective and live in a diverse community. However, traveling during the breaks, and exploring America is my favorite thing about studying abroad,” Harutyunyan said. One of Wilson’s newest international students is Alycia Brennan who began attending Wilson this semester. A freshman from Perth, Australia, Brennan is majoring in Exercise Sports Science. When choosing a college, Brennan chose Wilson because of better communication and scholarships, and getting to play field hockey under head coach Shelly Novak. Although Brennan is away from her family and friends, she comments that the best part of Wilson is how friendly and welcoming the students and staff are which made her transition a lot easier. But nonetheless, she highly enjoys be-
ing an international student. “I think just being able to meet so many people from different parts of the world,” said Brennan, when reflecting on her joys. “I never thought when I came here I would meet people from the U.K. or Armenia. I think we have a lot of resources available to us, being involved in Muhibbah and the different trips that are offered in the International Student Programs.” Brennan notes that obtaining a degree in the U.S. is quite different than acquiring one in Australia. “In Australia, getting a degree is set in stone, you can’t change it. If you change it, you have to start completely over in a new major and no credits transfer. Switching majors in the U.S. is a lot easier and a lot more flexible,” she said.

International Students Share Their Wilson Experiences

Long flights, tons of paperwork, and nervousness for something new, international students get the opportunity to receive a college education in the United States. According to Wilson’s website, 5% of current undergraduate students are international students. U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges has also recognized Wilson College as a top Bachelor’s Program for international students. According to Crystal Lantz, Director of International Student and Scholar Services, there are 30 international students attending Wilson this semester. “I would say the most beneficial thing is that it makes our campus much more interesting and diverse,” Lantz explained. “We can learn so much about the world without even leaving campus!

Gender Neutral Housing: Not the Same as Mixed Gender Rooms By Tiffany Cobb
There have been some small changes made to on-campus housing for the 2017-2018 academic year, such as more petfree floors. One option that has not changed for the upcoming year is gender neutral housing. Last year, the college decided to implement gender neutral residents halls including the option for gender neutral housing equipped with gender neutral restrooms. According to Dean Mary Beth Williams, this change was made because “a lot of colleges are start-
ing to do this as you don’t require people to indicate a gender during the housing process.” Williams continues by saying, “Most schools have moved to the gender neutral options so you can sign up for housing gender blind.” “Gender blind” means that students can fill out an application for housing without having to state gender. This year when housing information was sent out through email, there was some confusion. The email from Jared Hirtz, the Residence Residence Life Director, states “no mixing
of genders is permitted within a room or a suite.” Some people thought that mixed gender rooming (a male and female sharing a room) was being taken away, but it actually never existed on campus. Unknowingly, people were worrying about gender neutral rooming (signing up for housing without labelling a gender) being disbanded, but that is not the case. Hirtz states, “I have actually not worked at other schools which allowed mixed gender rooms. This concept was brought up at other schools I have
been at, but the schools did not approve them.” While Hirtz is new to implementing gender neutral housing, he also states that if students wish to utilize the gender neutral housing option, “the application is on the ResLife page on my.wilson.edu. There has been interest each semester and I meet with individuals who complete an application as part of the process. I would advise anyone interested in gender-inclusive housing to review the application and contact ResLife with any questions.”

Even though this was her second time in New York, Kim enjoyed every moment in the city. She comments, “I literally loved the crowd, busy, bright, buildings and everything.

I was so happy to taste my hometown food and glad my friends can try Korean food.” Asking about what surprised her most, Kim laughs, “Times Square was crowded even though it was 1 in the morning.

New York absolutely impressed me with its noise, crowds, and skyscrapers.” Spending two days in New York, Ho had the chance to visit famous sites of the city such as Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, and the 9/11 Memorial. “Big thanks to Wilson College and Muhibbah Club for giving us a special and unique opportunity to explore an amazing city in America,” Ho expresses.

Fates of Migrant Fishermen in a Luxury Calif. By Tram Ho
Most know California as the home of Hollywood stars and technology-savvy billionaires. The state, with its warm weather and a growing economy, is also a destination for millions of immigrants to seek a prosperous life in America. However, is California truly a promised land for citizens of other countries or just a disillusion when many of them come here and end up with hard and ramshackle lives. I walked the Ocean Beach Bridge in San Diego at around 3 a.m., expecting to be the only one there. Surprisingly, many fishermen were working there; most of them are immigrants from the Philippines, Mexico, and Vietnam. These fishermen went to work in factories or nail salons during the day and then fish from midnight till early morning. In doing so, they are able to pay for the high cost of living in California. Incomes from fishing de-
pend mostly on the waves and the season. With simple fishing tackles, these fishermen only catch a quantity of ten to twenty fish per night. They catch more fish in the summer, yet cannot expect huge profits because of the cheap price of fish on the Pacific coast. Lack of education is one of the most common problems for many immigrants. For example, a couple of Vietnamese fishermen, having been in America for almost 30 years, cannot communicate in English fluently. Most immigrants limit themselves in their home communities for the insufficiency of language. Despite living in a foreign country, these fishermen are not able to learn or exchange American culture. In fact, they have not undergone any education since the first day being in the U.S. due to the language barrier. They work hard and try several manual labor jobs to survive day by day. Sometimes, the

jobs cannot pay for their personal expenses such as housing expenses and food. When asked how frequently do they go back to their home countries, the Vietnamese fisherman sighed and said, “Where is money? It costs us at least $5-7000 for a trip to Vietnam. I just went there one time dur-
ing 30 years in America.” The resplendence of lights and the noise of traffics tell us about the prosperity of California. However, little is known about the fates of those immigrants who are writhing silently in the darkness of poverty, illiteracy, and racism.

Authors Wall Celebrates Writers in the Wilson Community By Christie Munson
Wilson College will honor Wilson community writers with an Author’s Wall and Hall of Fame in the John Stewart Memorial Library. In addition to archiving the written work of the Wilson community, the installation will also feature a plaque that reads, “The Wilson College Author’s Wall highlights the literary achievements of Wilson College community members. The Author’s Hall of Fame celebrates members of the Wilson Community who have made significant contributions to a life of let-
ters and who have enhanced the literary culture of the college and society as a whole.” Beside the plaque will be a bookcase featuring every work, both creative and academic, by Wilson authors dating from the college’s founding to the present. Various groups on campus helped to fund the project. The dedication ceremony for the Author’s Wall and Hall of Fame will take place on Friday, June 2, during Reunion Weekend. During the event, former President Emerita Gwendolyn Jensen will be honored as one of the first authors
added to the Hall of Fame. Dr. Michael Cornelius, a Wilson author himself and Professor of English, expressed excitement at the prospects of the project. He stated, “Even you can be on the wall someday.” Director of Alumnae/i Relations Marybeth Famulare spoke of the collection process for these works. She expressed the need for members of the Wilson community (alumnae/i, faculty, staff and administration, both former and current) to submit their published works. Those interested in sub-
mitting their work may contact Reference and Instruction Librarian Kelly Spiese for more information.

College Community Bonds Through Social Paint Nite
Participants work on their art By Hong Nguyen
Residence Life held a “Social Paint Nite” on Friday, March 24 in Jensen Dining Hall. The event was a connecting experience between people through conversations while developing attendees’ painting skills. The event had a turn out with over 70 attendees, including 50 students/alumni and over 10 Wilson College faculty and staff members. With the intention of having at least one staff member per table of four, attendees got the chance to interact and learn about one another’s backgrounds. The outcome created a bonding experience within the Wilson community to better understand its members through an enjoyable activity.
One activity was paint the image of a dream catcher. Attendees had the option to follow the original painting with directions from Career Development Director Linda Boeckman. However, participants also had the choice to paint a dream catcher using their own design. Social Paint Nite brought forth many benefits to its attendees. Painting is not just an artistic endeavor, but has many health benefits. According to the Health Fitness Revolution website, painting helps improve health in up to 10 ways, which includes broadening concentration, sharpening fine motor skills, promoting knowledge of various cultures, boosting creativity, and building critical thinking skills.
Resident Assistant (RA) Kerri Bennett ’17, coordinator of the event, showed her excitement, stating, “It was a fantastic turn out! We had more people email but we had reached our max and had to turn people down.” Bennett continued, “The main goal was definitely achieved. The idea was to have a group of professionals from within the outside community sit and paint with students and be able to talk about careers and networking in a nonstressful environment and just let the conversation go in whatever direction it does.” Having directed many previous paint nights, Boeckman established that the Social Paint Nite was a whole other experience. “It was huge! Very large! This is more than just a paint

night,” Boeckman stated. “Having the professionals in attendance added a lot of conversation and made the room very lively. Paint nights are often quiet, but not this time!” Boeckman also believes that some of the students created good future connections for their careers. There is a high possibility of another Social Paint Nite in the future as Bennett said, “This is something that should happen more, because not a lot of students feel comfortable having one on one conversations with adults. Making talks happen in small groups while doing something fun makes it a little easier!” For more information or to see more photos of the event, visit the Residence Life Facebook page at www.facebook.com/WCResidenceLife.

Orchesis, Wilson’s modern dance troupe, will present its annual spring concert “Dancers on the Edge” on Friday, April 7 and Saturday, April 8. Visiting Assistant Professor of Dance, Megan Mizanty, explained what to expect with the upcoming shows. “We have three shows, and each show has 15 performances,” Mizanty stated. “We have a lot of different choreographers, maybe eight or nine people. We have students, Wilson alumnipeople who already graduated but they are still choreographing for students. Not only that, we also have a guest dancing company; Chambersburg Ballet Company and their high school students are coming to dance. There are about 30 dancers in total. This semester, we have a lot of high energy dancers and uplifting pieces.”
Members practice for the show
All the dancers have been practicing for the show since the beginning of the spring semester. One of the members of Orchesis, Ruth Laura ’19, and her team are busy preparing for the big show. Laura stated, “We perform different genres of dance from contemporary to ballet to modern to hip-hop. Every member of the club/class has the privilege to choreograph a dance from various aspects or challenges

in life like a battle to redemption or search for happiness. In order to have a successful event, we routinely practice multiple hours a week for perfection. Come be a part of the Orchesis family where you have the privilege of emotional expression through dance.” Another dancer, Anna Harutyunyan ’17, contributes to the show a unique, powerful solo she choreographed that she calls “Even Horizon.” Ha-

rutyunyan commented, “My solo’s name is a scientific term that means ‘point of no return.’ This solo is a political piece about refugees which I thought was very much in contact with the recent political situation around the world. The music I chose for this is an Armenian song about a place that you call home. I think this song would connect really well with the idea of the piece because when people are forced to leave their home and country, they never go back. As soon as you become a refugee, you never return.” Every piece of the show has its own unique meaning that promises to create a powerful show. Do not hesitate to attend “Dancers on the Edge” on April 7 and 8. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $3 for students with ID and $3 for children.
Empowerment Drumming Helps Students Battle Grief and Loss By Jenna Kauffman
On Wednesday, March 29, Counseling Center Intern Hilary Miller set up “Grieving Through Empowerment Drumming,” an event that took place in Sarah’s Coffeehouse to promote healthy activity even when not feeling the greatest. When asked what inspired the event, Miller stated, “As a counselor, I work one on one with students in sessions, but I also do programs like this. I’m trying to start [an annual] group, which was sort of the thought of this grief and loss group.” Miller set up the program via Peter Scheer, a friend who graduated from Shippensburg University in December 2016, where Miller herself will graduate in May 2018. The two met while working to earn a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Scheer works with “HealthRHYTHMS,” a foundation ten years in the making that is made up of programs such as the Group Empowerment Drumming program that facilitates group communications and expression by playing the drums. The specific theme, grief and loss, is what Miller

decided to go with for this first meeting on campus. Scheer and his friend Andrea Geesaman, who graduated with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Shippensburg University as well, co-facilitated the session so that participants would know what to do. Several students, including Caroline Willson ’18, participated, and as Willson noted, the theme was not as black and white as one would probably guess. “I enjoyed the concept that it could be the loss of anything, that grievance isn’t the only key component to why we feel the way we do about loss. It doesn’t always mean grief,” Willson

commented. “That’s part of it, but it’s not everything. The instructor, Peter, told us it could be the loss of anything. Like with how Dory [from Finding Dory] probably felt with how she lost her parents and lost her mind, that’s kind of how I feel. I felt like I’ve lost myself at one point in life. The fact that I could vent about it [through drumming], that was the best part to me.” Miller also reflected on what she believes participants should take from it, saying, “The biggest importance is acceptance. Acceptance of your feelings, where you’re at, and not feeling like you need to be anywhere except for where you are. Just
drum whatever you feel and I think that that’s what’s so important in grief to begin with.” Miller plans to do the event again in the fall. In the meantime, students are encouraged to schedule individual sessions with her as well as attend other counseling events, such as the Flawed Family Program and Stress Relief Series. The Flawed Family Meetings are every Tuesday from 4-5 p.m. in Sarah’s Coffeehouse and the next upcoming installment of the Stress Relief Series is on April 20 in Lenfest Commons. The Stress Relief Series will help students stressing over upcoming finals. To students who are hesitant with counseling or group therapy, Miller says, “To students who are considering counseling but are not quite sure: we have open ears, we are not judgmental, and we’ll accept you where you’re at. But you have to come when you’re ready, and we’ll be here when you feel ready.” If in need of counseling services, students can contact the Wilson College Counseling Center at counseling@wilson. edu or visit the center in Upper Lenfest past the nurse’s office.

Student Interest Sparks New Gaming Club By Kirsten Bilger
Wilson has welcomed the Gaming Club, a new student club, to campus. The Gaming Club meets two nights: Sundays at 9:15 p.m. is Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) and Mondays at 9:15 p.m. is card games. Each session meets at Sarah’s Coffeehouse. On Sunday nights, students gather to play D&D, a roleplaying game that changes with each session. Players create a character to navigate through a fantasy medieval world created by the Dungeon Master, the person who chooses the setting for the game. Players then go on quests and explore the world created for them while saving the world. For those interested in the game, but have not played before, player Vanessa Lybarger ‘17 says, “D&D can appear difficult, but the goal is to bring in interested people and offer them assistance in starting so they can enjoy the game as much as we do.” Monday night is reserved for card games. These games include “Pokemon”, “Yu-Gi-Oh”,

and “Magic the Gathering.” Member Cody Dunlap ’18 says, “All are welcome to come. There is no need to have played before. We are more than happy to teach people. All people need is a desire to learn, play, and have a good time.” As a fi-
nal comment, the gamers agree that they would like to see more people join since there are not very many people who attend. Whether you are an experienced game player or just a beginner, everyone is welcome to join the gaming club.

A Trip to Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East 2017 By Sam Schlegel
Over spring break, I was fortunate enough to make a trip up to Boston, Mass and brave the 20 degree weather to attend one of the biggest video game conventions, PAX East. PAX, (originally known as Penny Arcade Expo) began in 2004 when the owners of the Penny Arcade thought gaming needed a convention of its own. PAX is split into five different conventions spread across the U.S. and there is also a convention in Australia. This year, PAX East took place the weekend of March 10-12. Each day, the exhibit hall opened for the entirety of the day. The exhibit hall is the centerpiece of PAX and is where hundreds of booths are set up to promote the various video games that are already out and some being released this coming year. The releases range from games for consoles to games for PC and even board games. Different tournaments also take place on stages set up throughout the exhibit hall during the weekend. At the back of the exhibit hall are the “Console and PC Freeplay” areas. In these areas, many different consoles as well as gaming PCs are set up in mass quantities so that everyone can simply take a break from walking around to sit down and play some of their favorite games, such as Overwatch or League of Legends, that are pre-downloaded to the different systems. There is also an entire table top section for those who are fans of board games. If you find yourself tired of the commotion in the exhibit hall, various panels take place throughout the weekend. These have a wide range of topics from building your own gaming PC to inclusion for the LGBTQ community. One panel discussed the Assassin’s Creed movie, which had a few of the ac-

tors as panelists, another explained the future of video games, and, finally, one was hosted by a group of favorite video game comedians. And of course, PAX is a great way to meet your favorite YouTubers and streamers, as many have meet ups and signings for their fans during PAX. Not to mention, it is a great place to meet up with friends made through gaming. The experience at PAX was amazing and for the video game enthusiasts, a “must do” on your bucket list.

Tale as Old as Time Still Enchants Audiences By Hong Nguyen
Each year, Disney continues to make everyone’s dreams come true by bringing back some of our favorite animated classics as live action movies. 2017 is no exception with another road to our childhood with Disney’s new live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast.” It is beautiful, breathtaking, funny, captivating and, in classic Disney fashion, magical. With an enchanting cast and an eye for detail, “Beauty and the Beast” is closely aligned to the studio’s celebrated 1991 animated musical fantasy, Bill Condon, director of the movie, seemed to be aiming for a healthy mix of old and new; replicating key scenes and costumes almost exactly, while also introducing new backstories and new songs from composer Alan Menken and lyricist Tim Rice, who both worked with the Broadway version of the classic tale. Bill Condon thought the characters needed more depth to exist in a realistic world. While there was no one who could replicate Belle’s intelligence and independence like Emma Watson, Gaston was the standout character in the movie. Played by Luke Evans, Gaston’s fundamental character traits did not change: boorish, arrogant and self-centered. However, Evans deserves much more credit. He was such a charmer as he did Gaston’s smirking self-regard possibly even better than the animated version. His determination in making Belle his wife added more depth to his character through his confidence as well as uncontrollable temper. Belle’s father Maurice, played by Kevin Kline, was not as dorky as in the animated version. It was clear that Belle mimicked her father as being intelligent, handy and determined, as opposed to learning those traits on her own. The audience got the chance to dig deeper into Belle and the Beast’s family background. Have you ever wondered what happened to Belle’s
mom? Or could you imagine how tragic it was for the little Beast prince to lose his mom? Another new addition lay in the end of the movie with the Beast’s roar. While Disney lovers considered this a funny moment, Dan Steven’s fans might have developed a stronger crush on him. Perhaps the biggest change in the “Beauty and the Beast” universe belonged to Gaston’s sidekick LeFou. Josh Gad, who plays the character, provided comic relief as Gaston’s foolish follower, but now he is a fool in love with Gaston in the first-ever openly gay subplot in a Disney film. As Condon told Attitude magazine, “LeFou is somebody who, on one day, wants to be Gaston and on another day, wants to kiss Gaston. He’s confused about what he wants. It’s somebody who’s just realizing that he has these feelings.” LeFou is but one proof of diversity in the movie. “Beauty and the Beast” succeeded in bringing more races than just white to the scene. There were many non-white characters such as the town’s bookstore owner, Lumiere’s girlfriend, and the castle’s singer. Then there were the big musical sequences. “Be Our Guest,” with Lumiere as the lead, was the most wonderful montage of scenes in the movie. It was such a joyous and magnificent set piece it made everyone in the theatre stand up and applaud. Belle’s opening with “Little town” and Gaston’s song “Gaston” also left audience in awe. Disney also introduced not one, or two, but three new original songs from original score composer Alan Menken, “How Does a Moment Last Forever,” “Days in the Sun,” and “Evermore.” Although the audience could not hum along as the songs were not in their memories, they did enjoy the uplifting beat. Overall, the “Beauty and the Beast” live-action film is just as enchanting as the animated version before it but, there is something there that it did not have before.
