IN THIS ISSUE...
OP-ED 2
On Fri, May 3 members of the senior class presented research they began working on last semester. Each senior who was presenting worked with at least one faculty member. This faculty member advised the student throughout their work and helped them to present their research work to the Wilson community. Student Research Day provides this opportunity to those graduating seniors who may have an interest in pursuing graduate work. Mary Hendrickson, Dean of the Faculty and Vice President of Academic Affairs, spoke before the rst presentation of the morning in the Science Complex Auditorium. Today is about the student, everyone here should be congratulated, said Hendrickson. This event is new and is the highlight of the year for me personally. The day consisted of nine sessions with a total of 18 seniors presenting their work. The sessions took place throughout the campus in the Science Complex Auditorium, the Allen Auditorium in Wareld Hall, and the second oor lobby of the Science Complex. and in the Bogigian Gallery. Presentations ranged from the arts and English to the Life Sciences of Biology and Environmental Studies. Chelsea Krebs 13, a Biology major, presented on Comparative Analysis of Viability Assays for Evaluation of Postthaw Equine Spermatozoa. In other words, she presented on how viable a stallions sperm is when frozen and then thawed. My research had some major bumps, but I ended with a strong project that had strong results, said Krebs.

My presentation went well and I think everyone else is doing well. We all worked hard and it truly shows. Members of the junior class also showed their research during the poster session. These posters gave the students an opportunity to preview their own research for next year. They were able to get feedback and show people what they are passionate about. I wanted to nd a topic that I could connect with, said Jeaneva Gagne 14. I am really excited for this opportunity. I can choose what I want to study, which is unique to my Wilson experience. Gagne was not the only person who felt that Wilson is unique when it comes to the studies that students are able to accomplish. Assistant Prof. of Biology Laura Altfeld, who assisted with several of the senior research studies, also believes that Wilson students have some unique opportunities. I think the smaller size of our community allows for more innovative research. We are seeing more and more research, said Altfeld. I am happy we made it a tradition, setting aside a day just for research and highlighting students shows me that we are a supportive community.
The presentations ended with the presentation of the Disert Scholar, Casey Beidel 13, reading one of his short stories titled Feather. Beidel was awarded the Disert Honors Scholarship last spring semester for his senior research proposal. His research An Exploration of New-Wave Fabulism explores short stories using elements from different genres. His advisor, Dr. Michael Cornelius Chair of English and Mass Communications Department, believes that undergraduates should pay close attention to the research being presented. It would be wonderful if this day inspires undergraduates to do more with their time here, said Cornelius. Today is about taking ownership of their own education, which is something that we as a Wilson Faculty try to instill in our students throughout their time here. The day culminated with the Academic Awards Ceremony. This ceremony recognized students for their achievements, both during the current year and during their time at Wilson. While Student Research Day is a relatively new tradition, all members of the Wilson community are hopeful that it will continue so that more students can show their scholarly research.

EDITORIAL
I am writing to inform you that as of Thurs, April 25, I will no longer serve as the Editor-inChief of the Wilson Billboard. I have chosen to step down from this position after the recent Wilson College Government Association (WCGA) election, during which I was elected to the position of Vice President. After consulting with Apprentice Editor Lesley Eichelberger and our advisers, we felt the best way for me to avoid any conicts of interest between the two roles would be to step down from the position of Editor-in-Chief. My stepping down also means that the Billboard can maintain its status as an independent and unbiased publication; a status we as a staff have strived to uphold this past year and one I will gladly give up my role as editor to help maintain. However, I will not completely leave the newsmagazine. I plan to continue working as a staff writer/graphic designer although we have agreed that I will not cover any stories relating to WCGA. I have the privilege of knowing that our amazing and talented Apprentice Editor will take over my role, and will do an amazing job of running the Billboard. The current issue is only the rst of many that she will help successfully usher into existence. I want to thank the entire Wilson community for the experiences of this past year and for working with myself and the entire Billboard staff as we learn and discover the many different aspects of journalism. I have loved my time serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Billboard, but I also look forward to this chance to serve the Wilson community in a new way. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to the new Editor-in-Chief Lesley Eichelberger! Gratefully yours, Caileigh Oliver

The community joins together to walk through the Labyrinth on the Green.
On Sat, May 4 the Wilson community observed World Labyrinth Day. Community members created a temporary labyrinth on the campus green and in the Harry L. Brooks Science Building. The labyrinth allows people to walk through to nd themselves. It may look like a maze, but it only has a single path that makes it impossible for those walking to get lost. Chaplain Rosie Magee began the day by separating the volunteers into two groups. The rst group, in charge of the labyrinth on the green, used stones that community members painted
along with non-painted stones to build the design. It took the group about an hour to build the labyrinth, which will remain up for eight days. Another group put together a felt labyrinth in the lobby of the Science Complex. While this one was bigger and only up for the day, it was another place for volunteers to nd themselves. I think the project shows a lot of different ways to express yourself, which is something that I believe Wilson prides itself on, said Dr. Barbara Mistick, College President. No matter what your options are everyone is on
their own journey to express individuality and the journey is unique, which is what I appreciate most about the labyrinth. Other events during the day included a presentation by the Rev. Dr. Margee Iddings, who presented Preparing to Walk a Labyrinth. Iddings presentation allowed participants to learn about the practice of walking the labyrinth. Iddings said there are four distinct transitions that people go through when walking a labyrinth. The four transitions are: walking in, at the center, walking out and reecting, said Iddings.
At each stage you need to ask yourself different questions. You also can use the labyrinth to focus on others instead of yourself. At 1:00 p.m. Magee led the volunteers in a human labyrinth to conclude the day. During this activity, Magee placed the heart stone, the nal stone, in the middle of the labyrinth. After a moment of silence, the labyrinth became open for people to walk through at their leisure. I am proud of Rosie, said Katie Kough, Women with Children Program Director. I would like a spot to have a permanent labyrinth for reection.

account. This gure does not reect the true balance, said Wills. It is frustrating. Dean of Students, Carolyn Perkins agrees with Wills. She explains that the WCGA account is one that uctuates greatly and is back-loaded, meaning that heavy spending will occur at the end of the semester. This spending comes from unclaimed apportionments, like those spent for Spring Fling and other bills that come in late. WCGA also nances new club start-ups, outstanding debt that any club accrues and student workshops during summer. Its difcult for students to understand the rules. Federal guidelines make it complicated and WCGA is trying their best to navigate through them, said Perkins. Anytime there is money involved, someone will be unhappy. ALLIES Club Treasurer Laura Wilson 14 thinks that the apportionment process is a fair attempt by WCGA to disperse students money. She only wishes that the process is more student-friendly and that smaller clubs receive the same nancial support as larger ones. We only have a few weeks in the beginning of the semester to organize our club. In order to receive apportionments you basically have to plan the clubs
events for the entire semester right away, said Wilson. We are focusing on planning for our new classes during this time, not our extra-curricular activities. WCGA requires clubs to participate in one fundraiser each semester and Spring Fling to supplement their budgets. Other sources for club funding may come through gifts from Alumnae/i, WCGA cosponsorship of events or WCGA loans. Clubs can also request an emergency apportionment to cover an unplanned event. Jenna Curran 14 is a member of Dressage Team, Eventing Team and Future Farmers of America (FFA). She is happy with the amount of funding that her club receives, although it does not cover her clubs spending. Our fundraisers are a pain, said Curran. All the fundraising affects my clubs activities and even my schoolwork sometimes. I understand that they cant give us all the money we need. Our events are expensive. We travel to compete. WCGA wants students to know that they are listening to their concerns about the apportionment process. Meetings are held in the dining hall on Tuesday mornings at 11:00a.m., students are welcome to attend. Email WCGA at wcga@wilson.edu for more information.

guitarists. The second guitarists, Heidi OToole, was accompanied by her two children as she played the guitar. I am currently not a student. I guess you would say I am on hiatus because of the loss of my husband, but I would like to say that my children and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the many languages from around the world. To experience and hear from so many cultures is so enriching and beautiful. The experience itself was so inspiring, said OToole. The Poetry Reading was a successful and meaningful gathering for those who attended. It was a melting pot of mu-
sic, poetry, jokes and stories. The purpose of an activity such as The International Multilingual Poetry Reading is to provide a space and an occasion for those who are interested in reading poetry to do so, regardless of their language, and concomitantly, to foster attitudes of mutual openness and receptivity towards one another regardless of our particular differences, said Cordova. The fact that almost 50 people (47 to be exact) would get together to do just that on a Sunday afternoon without expecting any kind of reward is most gratifying, and bodes well, at least, for the participants.
International students and their friendly families celebrated together at a final farewell party on Sat, May 4. Pictures were on display recounting the international students memorable moments during their stay at Wilson from when they met their friendly families until now. Director of International Students Paul Miller gave the opening greeting. All international students introduced themselves and talked about their future plans. They also discussed their best, happy and unforgettable memories while enjoying delicious food. Through this program, international students and
Essentially, all humans, regardless of where they live have the same aspirations of finding happiness, peace and fulfillment, said Lewis. They enjoyed meeting all the students from the many represented counties and learning about the different cultures. We had many revelations as a result of this program. We took Borae Lee to many movies, breakfasts, lunches and dinners, took her to our church, and many shopping experiences culminating in a trip to Tysons Corner in Washington, DC. We also enjoyed her visits to our home where we had a chance to engage in a wide
range of conversations, plus she met 2 of our 4 children plus our 2 dogs & 3 cats. We always enjoyed her company, said Virginia Lewis. The Lewis family plans to participate in the Friendly Family Program next year, too.

Three seniors, Amanda Stup, Beck Metzbower and Catherine Green showcased their best work as ne art majors during the Capstone Exhibition reception held in the Bogigian Gallery in Lortz Hall on May 2. The event was a culmination of their skills honed while at Wilson and included an array of mixed mediums, including paper maps and photography of rearms. Amanda Stups photography offers a unique perspective to weaponry as she addresses issues such as guns in the media, gender perception and beauty in her exhibition titled Carbine and Steel, which displays ve photographs of guns. In addition to her work in the Bogigian Gallery, Stup presented an additional 23 pieces at the Shooters Delight gun range of Chambersburg, Pa. on Fri, May 3, 2013. I found it hard to nd someone to sell and display pictures of guns, said Stup. The range was perfect. It offered a captive audience of people who appreciate guns already,Stup said. Beck Metzbowers work, Metzbower, is an invitation into the abstract as she uses plaster, mixed paints and ink to create pieces that remain unnamed.
I am exploring the topic of grief through metaphors, said Metzbower. Texture and color build movements that ow through the pieces. People like to label things. I dont. I want the viewer to make their own interpretation when they see it, not to be inuenced by a name that I choose. Her exhibition consists of six pieces currently showing in the Bogigian Gallery and 12 more, which were previously exhibited at the Thought Lot Community Center in Shippensburg, Pa. Catherine Greens exhibition, Boundaries, uses nontraditional materials to create wearable art that challenges gender perception and stereotypes. The Columbus, Ohio native credits her hometown and her experience in the Army Reserve for her love of fashion and its role in gender perception. I have been sewing since I was ve. Where Im from, fashion and art are part of everyday life. There are many galleries, said Green. Being in the Army, we are trained on cartography [the study of maps] using a Tenino map. Its a map of Fort Lewis, Washington and you literally carry it around and study it constantly.
Greens work, Tenino, uses the paper map to create a dress that is displayed at the Bogigian show. Other high fashion works by Green appeared at her fashion show held Fri, May 3, 2013 at Bistro 71 located in Chambersburg, Pa. Associate Prof. of Fine Arts Philip Lindsey describes the Capstone Exhibition as a sort of grand nale for students. Students must take a number of courses in various disciplines and the Capstone Exhibit for them is a cohesive body of work, said Lindsey. They have two exhibits, one on campus and another off campus, plus they are responsible for all the things that they must address as an artist exhibiting, like working with the public, research and the actual creation of the exhibition. Stacy Hess 14 attended the reception for the Capstone Exhibit. She thinks that it is important to support other students. I am here to see Cathys work, said Hess. I think what she creates is interesting. The Capstone Exhibit will be open in the Bogigian Gallery from May 2 May 20, 2013. To contact Philip Lindsey email him at Philip.lindsey@wilson.edu.

Its a shame more people did not see Cloud Atlas, the most expensive independent lm ever produced. The lm required three directors to handle the six storylines that span over 600 years, dozens of characters and at least four continents. Based on David Mitchells Man Booker (Englands Pulitzer Prize) short-listed novel, Cloud Atlas is a joint-created epic by the Wachowskis (The Matrix directors) and Tom Twyker (Run Lola, Run) about life, death, love, violence, revolution and reincarnation told through six plotlines that all
which may be why so many critics vehemently tore it apart in their reviews. This is unfair, as the lm, for anything else, is fun to watch just to try and guess which actor is under what makeup (during the credits they show all the roles each actor played and I have to admit I was surprised by a few). But there is more to this lm than critics and lack of audience gave the production. It is a spectacle - a grand spectacle even - that has some stunning cinematography and even better special effects. Whats more intriguing are the many kinds of movies your one ticket will get you with Cloud Atlas. Each plotline represents a different genre, from tragic love story to slap stick comedy to
urban thriller, all contained here in one movie. This backand-forth between the serious, the comic and the absurd may not mesh well with some people, but it worked for me. Like last years The Tree of Life, which also divided critics (and was my pick of the best lm of the 2011), Cloud Atlas did the same this year (with perhaps a few more people maligning the movie). If the movie is in fact a piece of junk as many have ascribed, then it is an amazing piece of junk. Cloud Atlas is out on BluRay and DVD and I cant recommend enough to see it, if not for any other reason just to see what your own opinion is on this unprecedented movie spectacle.

The Wilson College softball team went three-two to nish third in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) championship tournament May 3-5, 2013 at Penn State Berks in Harrisburg, Pa. The Phoenix started their NEAC tournament action the morning of Fri, May 3, tak-
ing on the Fighting Tigers of SUNY Cobleskill. Wilson found the scoreboard rst when Tara Fields 13 batted in two runs in the third inning. The Tigers chipped away at the lead, scoring one run in the fth inning. In the top of the seventh inning, Cobleskill had the tying run on third and the go-ahead run on second. Megan Schneck 14 made an amazing play in the hole at second base to end the game and secure the two-one victory for the Phoenix. In their rst game Saturday morning, Wilson battled the number
one seed in the North Division, Keuka College. Again, Wilson found the score board rst, scoring in the third inning. However, the Keuka Storm scored a run in the sixth inning, tying the game at one-one. In the bottom of the seventh, Keuka batted in the winning run, defeating Wilson two-one and relegating the Phoenix to the second chance bracket. After a short break, Wilson faced NEAC South rival Penn State Abington. The Phoenix took an early lead, scoring runs in the rst and third innings. Wilson was able to maintain the early four run lead, holding Abington to just one run in the sixth inning and securing the four-one victory. In their third game on Saturday, Wilson went to work at the plate, defeating SUNY IT 12-1 in ve innings. Several players had standout performances at the plate for the Phoenix. Schneck went three for three at the plate, scoring three runs. Katelyn Wingerd 16 went one for two with three runs batted in (RBIs), and Faith Ricker 15 went two for three with two RBIs and scoring two runs. Sunday morning, Wilson faced Keuka again for the chance to get the championship game. However, an 11-5 loss to the Storm eliminated the Phoenix from the tournament.
Pitcher Taylor Crouse 16 had an outstanding performance on the mound for the Phoenix, pitching every game of the tournament. In 32 innings pitched, Crouse recorded 33 strike outs and a 3.98 earned run average, while holding opponents to just 36 hits, 16 runs and a .283 batting average. Schneck also turned in an outstanding performance at the plate for Wilson during the course of the weekend. In 18 total plate appearances, Schneck recorded 13 hits and seven runs, with six stolen bases, and zero strike outs. She also led the tournament with a .722 batting average. In addition, Schnecks slugging percentage (.778) and on base percentage (.737) ranked second in the tournament. The Phoenix ends the season with a 16-17 record, 16-9 in the conference. Head softball coach Brett Cline was pleased with the passion and determination the team played with at the end of the season. Our goal going into the tournament was to strive for our dream and leave everything we had on the eld. During the tournament, this team played with pride, they played as a unit, and left everything on the eld. We are very proud of what they accomplished, said Cline.

The rst year the NCAA grant contributes to 75 percent of the salary, the second year 50 percent, and the third year 25 percent. The newly created Athletics Communication/Sports Information Director position expands on the current job of the Sports Information Director (SID). The SID deals with statistics regarding the
