Amnicola: one who lives and dwells by the
river.

Candids/ 5

�Nineteen eighty five was a year marked by a
search for new goals for the institution known as
Wilkes College. Under the leadership of our new
President, Dr. Christopher Breiseth, we started
on a course that will lead us to even greater
academic success. In honor of this special year,
t he nineteen eighty five Amnicola also involves a
search. We, the Amnicola staff, would like to
challenge the students, faculty, and administrat ion of Wilkes College to one of the most int eresting types of searches - a treasure hunt!

�QUIET...
RHETORICIAN
AT WORK!

The Colonel has hidden his riches well three times over! Franklin guards the first
part of the treasure, Grant the second, and
Jackson and Lincoln the third. But the
guardians will not yield the treasure unless
the one who searches first asks the question
of the ones who live and dwell by the river.

�Not being much for maps, the Colonel will give you no paces to step and
no places to dig where X marks the
spot! Instead, you must follow the
clues within these pages of time.
Words and pictures on the designated
pages will tell you the secrets of the
Colonel's hidden treasures!

Candi1
14 I Candids

�Read the Colonel's signs carefully because
he is not above leading the reader on a few wild
goose chases. If you can see through the Colonel's tricky clues, you will find one or perhaps
all of his hiding spots. Do not tell your secret to
anyone else; rather, put it down in pen and ink
and send it to the people by the river. The
Colonel must have your reply by the ides of
March of the year nineteen hundred and
eighty six. If the date is clearly marked on your
letter and you are the first to discover one of
the secrets, the Colonel's treasure will be
yours! Good Luck!

The many artifacts on the
Wilkes campus provide enjoyment to the viewer. The campus has two art galleries as well
which make Wilkes an active
part of the cultural community. Various established artists
display their works in the Sordoni Gallery, while the student
exhibitions take place on the
third floor of the Student
Center.

�By the River
Part of what's unique about Wilkes
College is its surroundings - the Susquehanna River, the cherry trees that
line the river commons and the city of
Wilkes-Barre itself. Wilkes College
plays an active role in "the valley with a
heart," a title the community earned
after the 1972 flood. Buildings, such as
Kirby, Chase, and Weckesser hall link
the college with the region's past.
Wilkes also strives to play an active role
in the area's future by offering
assistance to the community with services such as the new giardiasis testing
lab.

�TO THE CLASS OF 1985:
Jane and I will always remember the class of 1985 with
particular warmth. You helped us t learn the ropes at
Wilkes College during our first year. Every institution
has its traditions which are usually passed on by the
elders. For us, you were the elders of Wilkes College.
Your support and cheerful tolerance of our initial efforts will always be a sourc
pleasure.
I wish each of you, individually, much good luck and
know that your Wilkes education will come to mean
more and more to you as the years go on. I count on you
to stay in touch with your Alma Mater and do your part
to find the wisdom that her spirit brings. May ur deeds
of love and service ever swell her fame.

�Just when you thought the 1984 book was complete, along came amnicola '85
amincola '85 amnicola '85 amnicola '85 amnicola '85 (I bet you'll never forget
this theme Mr. Fuller!). The year started with the orientation slide show (we'll
always remember how strong to make that express 0, right guys!). It ended with a
search for hidden treasure (during which our photographers discovered parts of the
cam pus that we never knew existed before). And, in between, we also had a lot of
fun.
To the Brothers-In-Law, how does it feel to be related? Thanks for being
great friends and for being there, always ready to help. And to all the
photographers, your work made my job so much easier. The pictures were great!!!
To our business manager (and future editor) thanks for all of your help. To the
design editor, you must wish that you will never see the words "events,"
"academics," "seniors," or "sports" again.
And to our advisor, you may have gone all the way to Japan to get away from the
yearbook, but we brought the book to you anyway (so what did the Japanese think
of Amnicola 1984?). And remember, whenever being an advisor gets you down,
think of the words of our Alma Mater (which I am sure you will never forget!).
Thanks for being a great advisor and a great friend.
To the 1985 staff, I will miss you all. You were a great group! To the 1986 staff,
good luck with the book and I hope you enjoy being a member of the Amnicola staff
as much as I did. And to the treasure hunters, good luck in your search and
remember to enjoy your years at Wilkes for they are the real treasure.

����It is difficult for us to imagine a world in
which we would be awakened by the sound
of a telescreen and in which our every
movement would be closely scrutinized.
Even though our schedules are hectic,
Wilkes realizes the need we all have to get
away from it all for a while and just relax.
Our activities range from formal dances to
simply going to the Student Center to play
video games or watch MTV. Our social
activities are enjoyed by both students and
faculty alike.

���Absolute conformity to societal
standards was a key idea in
Orwell's novel. When we enter the
world of Wilkes, we must learn to ·
adapt to certain standards. In
doing this, however, we never lose
sight of the fact that each of us is
special and that we have a
contribution to make to Wilkes
and to society. In turn, Wilkes
helps us to learn, to grow, and to
achieve our life goals.

�In Winston Smith's world, there were
no choices. Big Brother made all the
decisions. However, at Wilkes, we not
only choose our academic program,
but we can also choose from a wide
variety of extra-curricular activities as
well. These activities allow us to grow
physically, intellectually, and socially.

In Orwell's 1984, this picture would have been
destroyed with the building. Alf references to Conyngham Annex would have been rewritten, and the

the means to control our own lives. Our recollections
are stored within our minds.

"Have Talent, will travel." This seems to be the appropriate way to sum up the activities of the
Wilkes College Debate Union, or, as they are known on the Forensics circuit, "Kinney's Kids." The
squad competes in both public speaking events and debate. No previous experience is necessary to
join the squad. In fact, many of the current squad members started out as freshmen with no experience. This year's squad has been extremely successful. They had the honor of winning the first
cumulative sweepstakes award in the history of the Debate Squad. The team has made its voice
heard all over the country and even out of the country with a recent trip to Montreal, Canada. The

----------- -Who Is Watching You?

The Race Is On!
Just when you thought it was safe to
turn on the T.V. set, here comes yet
another election with all the campaigning, the speech-making and the media
fanfare. However, this election is
special because the outcome will determine our future. The Presidential election of 1984 has, from the beginning,
proved to be particularly exciting. Since
there is a strong incumbent Republican
candidate, the search now is for an
equally strong Democratic candidate.
Although definite predictions as to who
the winner will be are always risky, we
can look at the contenders and predict
what their chances are in this important
race.
1984 has proved to be a year full of
surprises, especially for the Democratic
party. Even though his candidacy was
announced quite late, the Democrats
did know that Ronald Reagan would be
the man to beat in the 1984 election.
The field of Democratic candidates was,
at the start of the race, quite large;
however, even with all of these candiates running, one stood out from all of
the rest - Walter Mondale. Many people felt that Mondale's nomination was
a forgone conclusion. His campaign
was likened to a glass train that was

174 I Activities

gliding smoothly along the tracks. His
campaign lacked luster, but it didn't
seem to matter since he was so far
ahead of the others. The only serious
competition was thought to come from
John Glenn. Experts felt that he had the
name-recognition needed to win - he
was an American hero. Not only this,
but they felt that the movie, "The Right
Stuff," would cause his popularity to increase - so much so that he might
become a contender for the nomination
and the Presidency.
All of these early predictions were
proven wrong. This occurred when a
relative unknown, Gary Hart, stepped
into the spotlight in the early primaries.
John Glenn soon faded into the
background and Mondale campaign
workers began to worry. The glass train
that was the Mondale campaign had hit
a rock and many believed that it had
shattered. In order to gain back the
ground he had lost to Hart, Mondale
had to give some serious thought to
reconstructing his image. The forgone
conclusion had become a real race.
Also in the race is Jesse Jackson.
When the race began, many did not
take Jackson's candidacy seriously.
Now, Jackson is running third to Mon-

dale and Hart. An interesting sideline to
the Jackson candidacy is that it has
done much for all minority cand idates in
the United States. In the past, minority
candidates were seldom given any
serious consideration for the Presiden,
cy or for other important political positions. In fact, back in 1976, when
thousands of letters came to Carter's
suite at the Democratic National Con•
vention asking him to choose Barbara
Jordan, a black woman politici an, as his
running mate, staff workers felt it would
be taking too much of a political risk.
Today, however, we see the Jackson
candidacy. Not only this, but we also
see the Democratic party seriously con·
sidering a woman as th ei r vice
presidential nominee.
Whatever the outcome of the 1984
Democratic National Convention is, it
will still take a very strong Democratic
candidate to beat the Great Com·
municator, Ronald Reagan. Reagan has
the cushion of experience to fall back
on, and that experience may be ju 5t
what the American people are lookin~
for to restore their confidence in their
President. Whoever wins, it is clear that
in 1984 and beyond, his actions will
have a definite impact on our future.

Since the theme of this book
an d the big topic of conversation
this year has been George
Orwell's prophecy of 1984, we
would be remiss not to mention
the issue of privacy in today's
world. How much privacy do we
really have? Recent studies warn
us that each of our names is on a
govern ment computer somewhere which can be accessed by
who knows how many people.
Anyone who has received unsolicited information from companies through the mail knows
how an noying this can be. But in
the case of our own privacy, the
conseq uences can be much
graver than just simple annoyance. With new electronic

surveillance equipment, the issue
of privacy is vital in the 1980's.
Technological advances have
allowed machines to do what
men have not dared to do. By using computers, personal information can be accessed and it
would seem that we, as individuals, have little control over
the situation. Sound like Orwell's
novel? Indeed, although Big
Brother is not controlling our
every move or thought, there are
some elements of Orwell's 1984
in our own life.
However, most new technology has been put to good use.
The computer was Time
Magazine's Machine of the Year
because of the many ways it

serves mankind. It can save us
thousands of hours by making
the storing and accessing of information fast and easy. Also,
new additions have been made
to some old standard devices.
The telephone, which used to be
strictly audio, now has a visual
component that allows us to see
and hear the person we are talking to. Two-way audio visual
communication has also been
enhanced by teleconferencing.
This process, which is often used
by big business, is capable due
to increased satellite capacity.
So, if we can learn to put
technology to good use, 1984 will
not be as frightening as Orwell
predicted it would be.

T.V. Time
For those who kept their eyes
on that dial, television offered
many unique and different programs th is year. As far as special
prog ram s are concerned,
nuclear war was an often used
theme. Viewers were introduced
to this with "Special Bulletin," a
movie which simulated an actual
news show reporting the events
leading up to a nuclear explo~ion. Then there was what promised to be the media event of the
season - "The Day After." Its
realistic depiction of the effects
of a nuclear explosion made it
~?mething that was required
19
Wi ng for many school
students.
. From nuclear war, we moved
right into another world with "V."

Its presentation of the invasion of
aliens who wished to use the
earth for their own evil purposes
made it a movie that captivated
the audience. And for those who
weren't interested in extraterrestrial stories, ''The Last Days
of Pompeii" provided entertainment as well.
Those were some of the
special events on television. But
we cannot forget those weekly
television shows. This year provided several new shows and it
also marked the end of some old
favorites. America was saddened
to see the last episode of
M* A *S*H. Expected to be one of
the most watched events in
Television history, that final
episode prompted M *A* S * H

parties all across the country as
people watched and said goodbye to their favorite characters.
The end of the original series
prompted a sequel of sorts
called "After M *A* S * H." This
series, however, could not live up
to the original and it proved to be
a flop this year.
T.V. in the 80's is indeed a different experience. It commands
its audience. For example,
"Soap's on!" has been a familiar
cry on the college campuses.
Classes are planned around that
favorite soap. And, of course, we
have to be near a T.V. on
Thursdays to watch the
celebrated "Cheers." In 1984,
what's on T.V. is an integral part
of our everyday lives.

�Campus Changes
1983-1984 was a year full of
changes on the campus of
Wilkes College. Physically, the
campus has been changed and
re-arranged in an effort to consolidate. We said good-bye to
several favorite campus haunts.
Gore is gone, Bedford has been
changed from a dormitory into
classrooms, Conyingham Annex
is gone completely, Sturdevant
now houses offices such as
financial aid and the recorder's
office, and Parrish, Chapman,
and the building which used to

house Cooperative Ed. have
been sold. Student Organizations are now housed on the
Third floor of the Student Union
Building. Even the Cavern has
changed. It has a new coat of
paint and a much brighter
atmosphere.
Just as the places have
changed, so have the names.
Founder's Hall finally has a real
name and it is now called Evans
Hall. Franklin Hall has been renamed. It is now called Robert S.
Capin Hall instead.

Wilkes Hits the Slopes
All were saddened by one 0
the most dramatic cam pu
changes - the news that Presj.
dent Robert S. Capin was leavin
Wilkes College to take a job Wit
an accounting firm. Ou r loss
however, will be their gain .
'
We also began preparations t
welcome in the new President,
Christopher Breiseth. With a ne~
President, the 1984-1985 scho~
year may prove to bring even
more changes to the Wilkes College campus.

The weather's cold. There's
snow on the ground, but there's
still a way to have fun in the great
outdoors with what is fast
becoming a popular campus activity - skiing. Recently skiing
has become a gym course at
Wilkes. That's right, no longer do
you have to settle for the traditional gym courses to fulfill that
gym requirement. Many students
have taken advantage of this opportunity to learn a new sport

and have fun at the same time.
Even the more expert skiers have
taken advantage of this opportunity to brush· up on their own
skills on the slopes.
Not only is skiing offered
through the physical education
department, but ski trips are also
promoted by the Student Center
Board. They offer low costs ski
trips to the students that run up
to two times a week. The trips
begin as soon as the slopes

open. All the student need do is
talk to a member of the Student
Center Board to see about making a reservation. If their bus is
filled, the gym bus often has
opening as well.
Physical fitness doesn't have
to cease in the winter months.
For winter fun, skiing is a great
sport that all the students at
Wilkes now have an opportunity
to enjoy.

Go Wilkes!
Those words are familiar to all of the students at
Wilkes who have heard Dean Ralston do that famous
cheer. The cheer exemplifies the school spirit that is
so much a part of Wilkes College. Well, if you're
proud to be a Wilkes College student, why not show ii
by getting yourself a Wilkes College T-shirt, sweat·
shirt, or hat??? However, now you don't even have tc
stop there. The bookstore has a whole line of Wilkes
College products which allow you to display your
school's name. There are pennants, glasses, mugs
stuffed animals, jogging shorts, pencils, bumper
stickers, pens, and many other prod ucts toe
numerous to mention. With these new prod ucts, th€
spirit of Wilkes will be seen on our campus anc
beyond.

doughnuts afterwards, participants withstand the
mild discomfort of giving blood by knowing they are
giving to a worthwhile cause.

Wot Larks!
Students were offered the unique opportunity to step right
into the pages of literature at the annual Charles Dicken's
Celebration. The event was sponsored by Dr. Robert Heaman
and Dr. Patricia Heaman. Each guest was required to take on
the identity of one of the characters out of Dicken's novels.
They were then treated to a night full of good food and lots of
fun!

�Halloween Party
Ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and numerous other
strange and unusual creatures walked the campus during our annual Halloween party. While
most of the partiers were readily identifiable,
there were some whose identity remained a
secret. Who was that masked man? Only his
roommate knows for sure!

In its first decade, friends of Bucknell
Junior College had provided it with fine
surroundings, and had laid a foundation
for future growth.
In 1937 Chase and Conyngham Halls
became "the campus." Weckesser Hall
became part of the campus when it was
designated as a residence for the Farley
family. The freshmen of 1937 listened to
inspirational thoughts from Dr. Farley's
welcome to the class of 1941. He said:
"Year by year students come and go, but
always friendships remain to enrich the
lives of all of us who work together at
Bucknell ... Perhaps because we are a
new and growing college, an added zest
comes to our endeavors."

"The story of a college cannot
be told in terms of brick and
mortar."
In September of 1933 Bucknell
Junior College, the forerunner of
Wilkes College, accepted its first
students. Classes started on
September 14 in the third floor of a
rented building at 29 W. Northampton Street. In this building students
demonstrated that young people of
ambition and ability would take advantage of the new opportunity offered by the opening of a local
college.
The realization of a dream proved
significant for Wilkes' progress over

the past 50 years.
Softly rolling hills along the banks
of the Susquehanna River describes
the scenic beauty surrounding Wilkes
College. The college itself is comprised of many different buildings
ranging from old mansions to modern
facilities.
The story of a college cannot be
told in terms of brick and mortar. The
real story lies in the lives it has
moulded, and in the achievement of
those it has served. So long as any
who have attended it are alive, or so
long as their influence is felt, the
story of the college continues to unfold itself.

�"Emphasis was not all academic ... the college
life of the beginning student was well-rounded."
As the college was growing physically, it was also expanding course offerings and extracurricular activities. Dr.
Farley was well aware of the college's top-level faculty
members and wrote that "a large portion (faculty) were
dedicated teachers who were convinced that the Junior
College could and should play a central part in planning
for the economic and social renaissance of the region."
The emphasis was not all academic. There were many
extra-curricular activities so that the college life of the
beginning student was well-rounded. A few act'vities included Debating, Dramatics, Economics, German and
Biology Clubs; and the Bison (newspaper.) In sports there
were teams in basketball, boxing, football and tennis.
Chase Theatre was the location of theatrical productions.

Buildings such as Kirby, Chase and Conyngham Halls
created a decorative facade along South River Street. Kirby Hall was originally planned to be shared between the
college and the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society. Its towering rooftops and beautifully decorated interior
are just a few of the features of this and other buildings on
campus. Conyngham Hall, which once housed the Art
Department, was an ornate three-story home with
magnificent marble columns at the entrance.
In the mid '40's, The Stoddard House was acquired
which was located near the corner of Franklin and South
Streets. The former Stoddard garage was made into a
cafeteria. When it was found to be too small, Kirby garage
and Stoddard garage were remodeled into a larger dining

�"To assist students in their search for
truth . .. "
In his commencement address- of
1951, Dr. Farley expressed thoughts

Kirby Hall

about the college as a unique learning
experience for both students and
faculty. At that time he stated:
"It was no accident that the college
has prospered in the midst of adversity. Its ideals were right. It sought to
establish high scholastic standards, to
assist students in their search for truth
and to cultivate an understanding of
the problems that confront us."
Dr. Farley came to Wilkes Barre
because he believed he had an opportunity to be of service. In the beginning there were those who did not
think the growing college could
survive.

Charter Day

On June 26, 1947 Gilbert McClintock,
chairman of the Board of Trustees, accepted the charter for Wilkes College.
The following November, Dr. Eugene S.
Farley was inaugurated as the first
president of Wilkes, having served as
director of Bucknell Junior College for
eleven years.
In Dr. Farley's Charter Day speech he
stated:

Harding Bookstore

"Because the foundations of the College have
been soundly laid; because the ideals for which
it stands are right, we can all look forward to
continued growth and extended service. At the
same time, we must constantly strive to
strengthen our work so that each graduate will
render a greater service and in his small circle
will exert infJue nee for understanding, goodwill, and intelligent action."

�"To balance the advance in the sciences

The decade of the '60's was in reality a
period of rapid change and growth for
Wilkes College.
Within the first nine months of 1964
two events of particular significance to
the future of the College had been noted.
In January the Graduate and Research
wings of Stark Hall were completed, and
in August ground was broken for the
Center for the Performing Arts. In October 1965, the Center for the Performing
Arts became a reality and helped to
balance the advance in the sciences with
a comparable advance in the arts. Its excellent facilities provided the College
and the community an opportunity to
participate in creative activities that
broaden interests and enrich lives.
Because of an increasing number of requests for admission to Wilkes from
students living outside the community,
construction of a new dormitory and dining hall began in 1965.
Three years later, ground was broken
for a new library. Built in 1968, this facility was named in honor of the College's
President, Eugene Farley. The commemorative plaque appropriately reads:

"New policies emerged . . . and traditions relating to

What were the students like during the '60's? For
years the College had encouraged students to question,
to criticize, to test, and to search for new meanings and
new solutions. This was a period when students realized
it was necessary to apply knowledge and to live effectively. It meant having freedom to fail, to make mistakes
and to recover; to work within a broad framework of
regulations that protect the rights of others.
During this period emerged some of the finest student
leadership known to Wilkes College. Most of the
present policies are the result of the active leaders of the
'60's. In 1968 the Student Life Committee was established. New policies emerged and traditions relating to
student life were redefined.

Robert S. Capin was inaugurated as the
third president of Wilkes College on October
24, 1976.

Under president Capin's leadership the
College reestablished its operations with
successive balanced budgets, refined and
expanded its curricula, enhanced its fundraising abilities and renovated much of the
physical plant. At the end of the decade the
College made plans for construction of a
new residence facility which opened in
August 1982.
At its fiftieth anniversary the College
reflects the marks of a mature and sound

Capin stated:

"And w ithout the dream that motivated men and
women in this community to pledge their support and
their spirit, the college could never have succeeded. I
acknowledge the special sacrifices made over the
years by trustees, faculty, administrators, staff, and by
the parents and families of men and women who
studied at Wilkes and who have, in turn, assisted
others in their quest for personal betterment. From
the very beginning, those who were drawn to the
College recognized that the community could not
grow and prosper if it did not release and nurture the
great resources of the human mind and spirit."

attributed to the lack of depth,
number of injuries, and the teaching

�The 1982 Wilkes College Wrestling
Team, the only Division I team at
Wilkes, experienced somewhat of a
disappointing season. Before the
season, the team was ranked 19th in
the nation with more seniors than any
other Wilkes wrestling team in the
past, yet, they were also one of the
least consistent. The team 's worst moment was felt by a tough loss to
Delaware Valley. Headed by captains Lenny Nelson and Pete
Creamer the team won the 1982
Wilkes Open Tournament and ended

were Marc Sodano, 3rd; Kris
Rowlette, 3rd; All-American Lenny
Nelson, 6th; Mark Correll, 4th. Even
though the team did not perform up

�The 1982 Wilkes College Wrestling
Team, the only Division I team at
Wilkes, experienced somewhat of a
disappointing season. Before the
season, the team was ranked 19th in
the nation with more seniors than any
other Wilkes wrestling team in the
past, yet, they were also one of the
least consistent. The team's worst moment was felt by a tough loss to
Delaware Valley. Headed by captains Lenny Nelson and Pete
Creamer the team won the 1982
Wilkes Open Tournament and ended
up 4th in the EIWA. MVP Mark Popple was placed 1st in the EIWA.
Other wrestlers placed in the EIWA
were Marc Sodano, 3rd; Kris
Rowlette, 3rd; All-American Lenny
Nelson, 6th; Mark Correll, 4th. Even
though the team did not perform up
to expectations they should still be
commended for 7 of the teams they
faced were ranked in the top 20
overall.

The 1982 Wilkes College Men's
Basketball Team was the last team to
be coached by Jim Atherton. The
young team, led by the only senior
and captain Greg Hychko, managed
an 8-15 record and a 5-7 league
record. This was enough to secure a
tie with FDU-Madison in the MAC
ratings. Getting into the playoffs and
beating FDU-Madison for the first
time were the greatest moments for
the team. Greg Hychko was named
the MVP. Next year's team will be
coached by Bart Bellairs and led by
co-captain Rich Shaeffer.

The Wilkes College 1982 Women's
Basketball Team, coached by Nancy
Roberts, attained a winning seasonal
record of 8-7. Their record was attributed to desire, dedication,
discipline, and most of all a great deal
of talent as a group. The team's worst
moment was their loss to U. of Scranton by 2 points. The greatest moment
came at Bloomsburg's expense, with a
final score of 65-64. The Wilkes team
also won the Letterwomen Tourney
which they hosted.

��Dr. Thomas F. Kelly
Dean of External Affairs
Message to Graduating Seniors - Amnicola, 1983
This has been a very special year in the history of Wilkes College and a very special year for the Class of 1983.
Throughout this past academic session, you and your classmates have participated in, sponsored, and created special
events celebrating the 50th Anniversary of our institution. During this period, we reviewed our past, made many decisions
which helped us strengthen our present, and took a close look at ourselves with recommendations for the future. As a class,
you have not only helped us create and celebrate our past, but you are accepting the special challenge as alumni to help us
forge ahead in the next half century.
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to meet with many of you personally over the years and will certainly miss that
relationship in the future. Although we will not have daily contact, I do invite you to visit with us often and refrain from
becoming strangers to your alma mater.
Use whatever knowledge you have gained here to benefit yourself and mankind. In the words of John Tyndall:
"Knowledge once gained casts a faint light beyond its own immediate boundaries. There is no discovery so limited as not to
illuminate something beyond itself."
I wish you only the best in the years ahead and will always value your true friendships.

Dr. Gerald E. Hartdagen

��Home, Sweet Home

Transitory Habitation - What is temporary
housing? Some might call it a filing cabinet
for excess freshmen. Those who've been
there call it a place where ...
. . . no matter how many keys you have, someone's always locked out.
... roommate hassles increase exponentially .
. . . the popcorn popper never stops .
. . . the phone doesn't rest and the phone bill keeps the company smiling .
. . . you order out for pizza every night.
... as soon as all your friends know your address and phone - it
changes .
. . . as soon as you feel comfortable with your room and floormates,
housing moves you to a different building with a total stranger .
. . . you dream about what you'll do when you get out, but fight back the
tears when you do.

Money. It seems a perennial dilemma for college
students. There are always choices on how, where and
what to spend money on.
With the recent budget cuts, however, worries like these
are fast becoming a luxury. Students are now worried
about such things as how to buy books, where to get money
for housing and how to remain a student.
How are students dealing with these financial troubles?
Well, for Wilkes students, Reagonomics has taken its toll
in a most painful area, their social lives. Many men have
found it difficult to wine and dine the ladies as they have
before. Senior, Terry Shemo, commented that, "With less
money I'm eating out less and taking more trips to the caf
lately."
If you're like most dorm students then having less to
spend on those 'extras' makes hitting the books an easier
task!

All-Nighters

COLLEGE
fUGfNf S. fARlfY

LIBRARY
So, you missed a deadline. You've
got a mid-term the next morning, but
you just started studying and it's 9
p.m.! Does this sound familiar or are
you one of the lucky ones who starts
reading those chapters ahead of time?
If you're like most of us you cram the
night before in a secluded corner
with ten cups of coffee, a carton of
cigs and now and then a breath of
fresh air.
The all-nighter - where does it
begin? Well, the first thing to do is get
psyched about the whole situation.
Then, find a place where you can
'hibernate' at least for a few hours.
You have to take into consideration
the 'munchies' and the breaks. The
break-time syndrome - it's that time
when your eyes are slowly closing
and you've just had enough! The
break is planned for a 'couple' of
minutes but usually lasts for an hour,
or two, or three ...
The clock strikes 11:45 and you're
just about to crack open the books.
The librarian is ready to lock up but
where do you go? There's Stark with
all the rooms you want. Or, you can
get back to the dorm. You know what
happens - order a pizza, go to the
Carey for a few or fall asleep in the
lounge! You can't win, just be warned
- the all-nighter really exists!!

Joining the ranks of space cadet,

takes the skill of a true challenger of
"Garf." Garf annihilates, destroys
and literally makes a daring defender
bite the dust. If all of this is a little
over your head, then it's time for you
to take a visit to the Cavern. It's fully
equipped with the latest in electronic
technology, the computer games.
Most of these games call for skill in
the art of keeping cool. At all times
composure must be kept in order to
remember that it's only a machine.
Sharp intuition, quick reflexes and a

�To the students at Wilkes College:

The last quadpack is about to be checked! We've finally reac
that long-awaited day when everything seems to fall into place.
I've had a great year - working with a fantastic staff and a gr
advisor. The year started off with the '82 yearbooks being delive
during the first week of classes. This was great for the students
what about t st vftlo hates carrying cartons of books up the
dent Center taus ..
The Staff - the most important part of the book. Leave it to Joe
keep getting headaches at the best times, especi
deadlines. I must say, Kirk did an excellent job in et ·ng plen
of ads and in helping me with the Administration section. I did
appreciate getting water thrown on me but that's part of the fun
had in the office!? Arnold, who begged me to mention him as o
"Assistant Photography Editor" was always there with do
assignments. I still can't believe he pulled through with 32 pages
dorms and apartments! What would I have done without Pu
Every time there was an event that had to be covered he was the
L ev~r took so much liarrassment from a single person - all
g~JIUl....,..n,

mco

el

This book would not have been possible without the help
those people, who just happened to be in the right place at the ri
time. J.B., Annette, Jim, Bob and Terry helped me get great pictures
- tharlllllllelen and Ann-Marie, who happened to be my roo mates while I was involved with the book, were always 'conned' i
to either making up posters or taking portrait orders. I have to ·
elude that great dorm of Sturdevant and its lounge. That's where
we set up headquarters for the last stages of work. Can I forget
Grebsie or Lydia who were two people who couldn't resist getting
involve uring Senior Week. Why should they mind had
nothing e1se to do!?
I hope you enjoye
of fun, and headach

�CANDIDS

Candids / 3

�Still round the corner there may
wait a new road or a secret
gate,
and though I off have passed
them by,
a day will come at last when l
shall take the hidden paths
that run west of the moon,
east of the sun .
J.R.R. Tolkien

�These moments of time have faded into the woodwork of our
memories, framing our minds, shaping our thinking, and building
our dreams.

6 / Candids

These are the moments when our performance is ours alonE
for we must accomplish everything on our own. And these are th,
moments to be alone to work, to search, to dream - conten
with ourselves and our world.

------- -- - -- - -- -

�We are going to build a better world and we are going to
have a good time doing it!

�No matter where we are - in class, in the Student Center, in
our dorms, in the gym, at Kirby Park - we are a part of what is
around us, and what is around us is a part of us . We have come
here in search of futures, yet we are in this place now.

10 / Candids

The tone , the mood, the pace are all set by us. We can't simply
observe because we are responsible for the moment. We have to
get into the center of things - stir up some dust - then take it
away with us.

Candids / 11

�As college students aspire toward their
careers, professions and future
endeavors, many growing experiences
are offered to them while in school. This
explains why there are so many different
types of people at the college.

Candlds / 13

12 / Candids

�And so we changed this place - and it has changed us. W
have been a part of the thrills, the fun, the setting, the people
We have revealed ourselves and have accepted what has bee
revealed to us. Sometimes, the simple moments are be
remembered.

14 / Candids
Candids / 15

�Every student follows their own preferences and desires
with determination in order to be good at something. If the
chosen undertaking continues to be pleasing, after awhile,
greatness is attained.
This fulfilling feeling of achievement and reaching higher
and higher to be the best that we can be is the very root of
the educational system . To broaden our sights, learn more
and generally become more knowledgeable of all things
and to use this knowledge towards attaining our goals
in reaching for the most in life.
Not all who reach for the sky will touch it, but it is the on ly way to get our plans off the ground.

Marion Alexander

Retiring this year after having served
24 years as chairman and professor in
the Department of Art.
Mr. Colson' s keen wit and love for
teaching will be missed by both students
and colleagues.
"Chet" wil1 be spending more time at
his summer home in the hills of Northfield, Vermont. He wil1 devote his
energies to drawing and painting the
changing landscape.

Marion has worked in the Nursing
Department for the past 10 years. She
was one of the founders of the nursing
program, and has held the title of Assistant Professor since 1972.
She plans on remaining in the area
and would like to work in a bookstore or
a travel agency. She remains active in
the Professional Organization.

�WC

The Wilkes baseball team was coached this year by former major league pitcher Bob Duliba . The Colonels,
behind the play of senior captains Tony Vlahovic and Chris DaRe, went 13-13, giving the blue and gold its 18th
straight non-losing season.
Junior Bob Miller was the "ace" of the staff with six wins. Junior Ned Sandercock set a school record for
game hitting streak with 15, which he will carry into 1983.
Ken Sorick, slugging junior catcher was the MVP, and Wilkes closed the year with a 26-3 rout of cross-town

getting away from home to be on their own.
During the first days of college, the students
are oriented to the school through tours, a picnic on the cafeteria lawn, and hazing.

Hazing is used to initiate new
freshman students into their
dorm. They are required to do
whatever the upper classman
wishes. This time could prove
very embarrassing, but fun.

Out on my own to participate in
everything I possibly can. There is so
much to choose from that I don't
know where to channel all of this
energy. Some expect enjoyment to
appear suddenly on their laps one
day. But, fulfillment only is experienced through the casting aside of
inhibitions and daring to follow what
appears beneficial at this very
moment.

�Let me please tell you how much you
mean to me. You have been perhaps one of
the hardest things to find on this earth; a
friend. For me there is a great distinction
between a friend and an acquaintance. To
call someone my friend, I must be able to
drop all my defenses that I utilize so as not to
get hurt by others. I actually expose all of my
fears, laughter, sorrow, expectations. I let
you become a part of my whole person
because you help me be a better person.
You are a very special person and your
companionship is priceless. Thank you for
understanding. I'm ecstatic to find myself
worthy of your friendship.

�Interwoven in all of my endeavors has
been people. What a variety that passed
me by whom I never had fortune to deal
with on a personal level. Many people
must wonder what I was or am really like
on a humanistic level, but I believe that I
have lost by not getting to know them.
Perhaps misunderstandings and illusions
of personalities could be avoided by a
friendly "hello" or a true effort to empathize with the feelings of our fellow man. I
hope in some way I have been able to convey my gratitude to all people who
expressed kindness and an interest in me.

opportunity to expand my horizons of knowledge. What an
opportunity that has been
offered me! There is so much
to grasp in the world of knowledge that if we don't reach for
it, we are cheating ourselves of
our own existing power. Colleges provide an excellent
learning environment; not only
of facts, figures and theories,
but of ourselves and others.

�In parting from this place I hope
that I have left with a memory of
me, for I know this place will always
be a memory for me. The trick lies
within making it a good, warm
memory. I can no longer, as I
depart change anything I have done
here, good or bad. It is my wish that
while I had the power to make
things good, I did so to the best of
my ability. I despise looking back at
things and thinking "I could have
done this", because this is the main
ingredient in sorrowful recollection.
I prefer to look back and smile
because I, when given the chance,
did it.

�Standing here we know we're together
Your cap and gown suggest it's the last time
But I can still always muster a smile
For I know our next meeting won't take a forever
The amplifier booms the final Z name in order
As we depart now always remember friend
Regardless of distance I'm just around the corner.

Everyone had a great time at Mickey Finn's Senior
Night, forgetting graduation practice at 10 a.m. The

came. Not just a sprinkle but a thundershower. As bright

11 was fun and spirits weren't dampened, even if it didn't last
as long as we would have liked.

Not only to hold to the d(eams you have had,

Not only to enjoy this land and its wealth,

And not only to take what you can from this life,

Individuals forming groups, giving birth to a variety of ideas and interests; these events act as the cog in the wheel of a developing society of
human beings. Each individual, with the notion of ultimate placement in
their desired concentration, wholeheartedly attempts to channel their

��While pursuing an understanding of our
ability to comprehend a mass of information

pieces concerning others, let us not fail to
appreciate the world's natural beauty; the

�Making friends is not always
easy. The risk is always present that one will find himself
involved in things that the
other just can't accept. If you
are truly their friend, allow
them the freedom to take the
avenue they prefer. But, if similar interests endure throughout our lives, we can say that
we've found one of life's treasures; a friend.

PEOPLE/ 93

�There comes a time when
one must hurriedly dash to
class and fulfill academic
requirements. But, when studying is finished for the time
being, one has opportunity to
talk with friends. The apparent
fact is that here at Wilkes we
are known to each other and
interaction comes easily. This
is one of the things that makes
Wilkes such a unique place.

That seemingly unimportant action in which you
are involved
Remains trivial until this thought has evolved
Make it spectacular; heart, soul and mind pu t
into it
As if the rest of us are watching you do it.

Cross Country is a grueling sport,
requiring the utmost in self discipline
and dedication. All through the year,
the runner runs long miles,
sometimes under the most miserable
conditions, while many shake their
heads and wonder why.

The 1980 cross country team had
an excellent season ( 14-6). Coach
Ron Righter added, "When one runner was down the others were up.
Everyone put in team effort." Eddie
Epler (captain) set a course record at
Allentown College this season and

was one of the top runners. Ken Pascoe
also proved to be a valuable asset. The
. Cross Country team should be commended on their season and be
recognized for their keen sense of competition here at Wilkes.

The 1981 season for the Wilkes Women's Tennis team
proved to be a year of rebuilding. With only three seniors
returning, the team was dependent on the talent and experience of returning underclassmen and incoming
Freshmen. Seeded number one this year was Kathy Price,
a Freshman. Kathy proved to be a valuable asset
throughout the season.
Under the leadership of Co-Captains Peggy Mascelli
and Debbie Welliner, the team won individual matches and
displayed superb tennis over tough division three schools.
Most valuable player for the Women's Tennis team went to
Kathy Price this year, with honorable mention going to
Paula Spanenberg, Peggy Mascelli and Debbie Welliner.
Charlette Fees and Terry Monseur will lead the team next
fall to hopefully a favorable season and MAC title.

�SOCCER TEAM FACES GRUELING SEASON
The 1980 season for the Soccer T earn proved to be a
year of rebuilding. Substitutes were scarce which meant
they had to work extremely hard in order to face the tough
schedule ahead of them. With the strength and experience
of returning members, the team had an impressive victory
over King 's, winning 5-2. With only four seniors and two
juniors in the starting lineup, the success of the 1980 soccer team depended largely on the individual performances
of these members. Senior co-captain Zomy with his ag..:
gressive handling of the ball helped in rounding out a fine
soccer team. With four seniors graduating, and the
valuable game experience gained by the juniors and
freshmen this season, the prospects are that next year's
soccer team will be another crowd pleaser.

rebuilding year. But with the amazing early season start of
(6-1-1) many of the team started to expect more than what
was possible. The end of the season built character (0-3-2)
rather than achieving the goal of entering the E.A.1.A.W.
post-season play and M.A.C. championships. Our inexperience and lack of depth hurt the team in the win column
during the tougher part of the season, but improvement
and good field hockey came through and in our last game
against Lafayette, we played our game of field hockey well
enough to tie a Division 11 school.
Wilkes has a field hockey team of which it can be proud.
Pam Snyder, a senior, had an excellent season and
represented Wilkes at Nationals in Michigan for the 3rd
consecutive year. Geri McAfee, a senior, led the team in
assists and was selected as a member of the M.A.C. All
Star team. Megan Ward, also a senior, was awarded the
scholar athlete of the year.
Selected into the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association tournament first team was Pam Snyder, third team
selections included Helen Gorgas (Jr.), and Diane Hall
(Soph.).
Once again the field hockey team proved to produce a
season of success and good sportsmanship under the
coaching efforts of Gay Meyers. Each member should be
congratulated on their contributions to team spirit which
was a major force in their overall winning season.

year's basketball team crushed a
strong Scranton team before a
stunned Scranton home crowd. This
victory was just one of many as the
team placed a high number 14 in the

�LOOKING AHEAD
After a very productive year, Coach Roberts
is looking ahead to next year when the Colonelettes will have gained much needed experience. The Colonelettes have a crop of very
talented Freshmen returning to Wilkes, but not
to mention the tremendous leadership that the
upperclassmen offer. Considering that there are
no graduating seniors, a record of 8-14, is
nothing to be ashamed of. Working with a very
small, young squad, Coach Roberts is preparing
and molding a team that will offer great competition in future years.
One of the brightest spots of the season was
placing second to Marywood in the First Annual
Wilkes College Women's Basketball Tournament. As an individual accomplishment Stacey
Keeley was awarded Outstanding Defensive
Player of the Tournament. Next season Coach
Roberts is counting on Diane Hall and Karen
Hall in leading the Wilkes College Colonelettes
to the Women's Athletic Association title.

the swim team endured during the 1980-81 season.
Although they experienced a season of defeat, each
member made a contribution to records and/or the continuation of the team in succeeding years. Under the
coaching of Bob Greenwald and Bob Lewis, the swim team
made tremendous improvements. Rob Doty set the pace
at the MAC as he snapped on the 200 yard breaststroke.
In this event he broke the Wilkes College standing record
by nine seconds. In diving, Reed Bello displayed his talents
by placing third in the overall competition at the MAC.
Karen Field, a freshman, placed first in the women 's 100

�LACROSSE TEAM ENDURES LAST SEASON
The 1981 season for the Lacrosse
Team is one that will be remembered by
each and every member because it is
the final year as a Varsity sport. 1969
marked the introduction of a varsity
Lacrosse team to the Wilkes College
Athletic program. After only six years,
the team went on to capture the MAC
Championship under the direction of
coach Jon Hobrock. Now, in 1981 the
program has been eliminated from the
Wilk-es Athletic program. The stickmen

were very disappointed at the inability
of the Athletic Department to resolve
the financial problems without dropping
the team. The predicament facing the
team did not hinder the team spirit as
they went on to win over Upsala 9-8.
Credit for strong leadership must go
to Larry Buffaloe. Buff this season was
awarded MVP for his strong defense
ability. Senior Jeff Harper proved to be
a constant threat at midfield, along with
Damian (Tak) Papariello. Captain Rich

Modica and Eric Farber generated the
offensive drive and also added crucial
goals in the game.
Dave Szczepanski led the first year
members and was awarded the "Tool"
award. Coaches Pete Canine and Bill
Abrams should be commended for t heir
determination toward keeping the fast
moving sport of Lacrosse as an intricate
part of the Athletic Program here at
Wilkes.

�BASEBALL TEAM
CAPTURES MIC TITLE
The goals of the 1981 Wilkes Baseball team was to win
the MAC section, win the northern division and capture the
overall MAC title. Although these goals were set very high
they were not far reaching. The team through its hard
work, dedication, and expert coaching were the only varsity sport to hold the MIC (metro intercollegiate conference)
title. In addition to the MIC achievement, the team proudly
took second in the MAC northeastern division.
Out of the nine returning veterans there is one player
who is a true All-American athlete. Chick Andrewscavage,
senior first baseman, has a baseball career that is
outstanding in the Wilkes Baseball record book. Chick has
broken every school record imaginable and has earned
first team all MAC, first team all ECAC and district AllAmerican honors.
Jerry Antosh and Tony Vlahovic also warrant recognition for their commendable efforts and true baseball
talent.

�EVENTS

No school year would be complete without the expected things such
as classes, books and finals. A wide assortment of activities and events
occur during the year offering a chance for students to "let loose." In
the fall we watched as Homecoming weekend brought back the alumni
to dance, to watch a football game and to relive their years at Wilkes.
The weather hinted to us all that winter was coming as the leaves
changed to provide evidence. The chilling winter came and we took full
advantage by playfully throwing snowballs at each other. Soon the long
awaited season of spring arrived, and we watched the cherry blossom
trees bloom, adding to the spirit that accompanies the arrival of warm
weather. Frisbees flew and hearts pumped faster as the school year
came to an end.

178/ EVENTS

EVEN

�It's Only the Beginning
Hazing can be looked upon with anticipation or with
dread by new freshman dorm students. It is a time to meet
new people and be just a little crazy depending on the upperclassmen's wishes. It is a time for fun and sometimes
... embarrassment.

Changing Season
The cars pull up - boxes are being unloaded - and the
bookstore is crowded - it's back to school time. The
weather is fine and no one is in a studying mood yet. The
nicest part is the leaves changing in the mountains and
along the river. But all too soon the temperature starts to
decline and fall is over.

�Club Day Attracts Many
Konefals Grove Begins First Weekend
Every year out on the school lawns tables are set up
and every club on campus is out to recruit new
members. New freshmen can see what the school offers
and get involved in their outside interests. Upperclassmen, too, can become more involved and participate in a wide range of activities.

�Wilkes Survives the Sooper
Dooper Looper
Look it's a bus, it's a car ... it's Wilkes students.
They descended on Hershey Park to have a day filled
with roller coasters and log flumes. Souvenirs were
bought - especially chocolate, and the day was
long, but fun. Laughter was the sound most heard,
except on the ride home where only silence was
heard.

Parents and Students Reunite
This day is the time for parents to come to
school to see how their "students" are faring. The football stands were filled with
families and the reception at the Sterling was
a great time to introduce our parents to ou r
instructors and fill our stomachs. It is also a
time to get over that often experienced feeling of homesickness.

�Old Friendships Renewed
The Thursday night bonfire kicked off the 1980 Homecoming weekend . It is a traditional , old-fashioned rally of school
spirit. Friday night's dinner dance was held at Gus Genetti 's.
The Saturday football game was against the Trenton State
Lions. Although the Colonels were not victorious a winning
spirit prevailed throughout the weekend.

�Who Is That Masked Man?
Once a year students can dress up
and pretend to be anyone or
anything they want. This year's Halloween party was no exception.
Costumes of every kind were
displayed. The students' imaginations were truly at work for this
event.

190/ EVENTS

Wilkes' Winter Wonderland
Winter with all its cold and slushy characteristics is also a peaceful time. The first snow is
enthusiastically received and a silent awe fills the air. Then the hustle and bustle of snowball
fights, ski trips and traying become major activities. The novelty soon wears off and stalled
cars are a source of frustration. Spring is anxiously awaited unless, of course, there's a Snow
Day.

EVENTS/

�Fun in the Snow
Winter Weekend took place in February. It was a three
day event with the festivities beginning on Friday. The
games were enjoyed by the participants and spectators
alike. The beach party held in the gym was a huge success.
This weekend ran smoothly under the outstanding leadership of Megan Ward and Leigh Majors, and the student
social committee.

Spring Fever Hits Wilkes

Out of the long cold winter finally
emerges the Spring. The cherry
blossoms begin to appear and the trees
are green again. These are signs of
Spring but with that first sunny day
something else comes out . . . the
students that have been hibernating. All
of a sudden the park is filled with people, frisbees are flying, and sun worshippers fill every corner.

EVENTS

�First Spring Formal
The Freshman-Sophomore Dinner Dance was held at
Gus Genetti's. "Jets" provided the music. The classes of
'83 and '84 outdid themselves to ensure everyone of an
excellent evening.

�Leaders of Tomorrow
The Reserve Officers Training Corps, most commonly
referred to as ROTC, is a special program for students to
enter the service after college as officers. ROTC held their
annual "Dining Out" and at graduation the seniors received
their commissions to enter the Air Force as a Second
Lieutenant.

�Cherry Blossom Closes School Year
Every year students look forward to the
Cherry Blossom Festival and this year was certainly worth the wait. The student participation
outnumbered that of any other year. Dave
Capin, Megan Ward and the entire Cherry
Blossom committee did an exceptional job. The
" Dakota" concert set the pace for the entire
weekend. The games held on both Friday and
Saturday were fun, and a great deal of skill and
agility was required. During the "preppie" party
the lzods and Docksiders were in epidemic proportions. Who said Wilkes isn't equivalent with
Harvard or Yale?

Dinner dances are anticipated because sometimes it 's
fun to get out of jeans and tee-shirts and get dressed up.
They are a time of romance and just being away from
studies. This year's dance was held at the Woodlands in
Wilkes-Barre. Everyone danced up a storm and smiles
were present everywhere. The Junior and Senior classes
should be commended on another success.

McNulty kept everyone glued to their seats. All the fighters
were great and well matched for amateurs. Madison
Square Garden watch out, Wilkes is providing some
competition.

Magic Show Aids All
This show was sponsored by Friends Forever,
and was a good time for the kids to get involved
and enjoy a great show. It was also a time of
comraderie with their Big Brothers and Big
Sisters. The funds received were sent to aid in
the investigation of the Atlanta killings.

This year the school held several productions that were
excellent and very entertaining. "Midsummer Night's
Dream" by Shakespeare was a ·fine performance. "The
Flood" was a play about Wilkes-Barre during the hurricane
Agnes. "Broadway Sweeper" was a dinner theatre and
"The Importance of Being Ernest" had some interesting
publicity. "Celebration" was a musical, with many people
while "Krapp's Last Tape" was a one-man show. The hard
work and long rehearsals were worth the effort because
the final productions were great.

PRESIDENT 1 S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1981
My message to you, members of the Class of 1981, is not

As graduates of Wilkes College, I welcome you into the
alumni family and look forward to the many years ahead in which we
can work together to assure the continued strength and vitality of
our College.
In the pages which follow, we can reminisce through the

1980-81 academic year and clearly recall a year of hard work,
companionship, joy, and excitement.

It was a year that catapulted

to guarantee our own personal success as well as the success of
Wilkes College.
I congratulate you on your achievements during your years
here at Wilkes, and I challenge you to help us maintain the tradition
of excellence as you assume your new position in the special "family"

�The 1981 Amnicola is a pictorial history of the past year and its events. We, the staff, hope
that in the future you, the student can look back and refresh the memories of your years here at
Wilkes. The Amnicola staff suffered turbulent times this year due to staff turnover, but the
dedication of a few proved to be strong enough to complete this yearbook. The school year
started out with many new faces and ideas and all contributed in one way or another to this
yearbook. One new idea brought about this year was the graphic section. a new technique introduced for yearbooks. We felt this graphic section would enhance the visual aspect and the
quality of the Amnicola.
The following individuals should be commended for their ideas and dedication throughout the
year. All played an integral part in the completion of the 1981 Amnicola: Student Government
for their assistance in obtaining the 1982 budget. We would like to thank all the photographers
for their tremendous efforts in meeting the deadlines. Section Editors and staff members for all
their long hours pondering over quad packs, and after looking through hundreds of pictures still
coming up with a great lay-out. And finally our advisor Richard Fuller. Mr. Fuller was a fantastic
advisor and one we needed very badly. He contributed as much as any member on the staff. We
appreciate your concern and guidance. We could not have completed the yearbook without your
knowledge and dedication. Thank you very much.
It is our sincere hope that all who view this yearbook can in some way, find a memory which
will last a lifetime.

Co-Editors,
Mary Giblin
Maggie Bunnell

A man of many stories: Remembering Dr. Harold Cox
By Genny Frederick
News Editor

Dr. Harold Cox, professor emeritus of
history and university archivist died on
Sept. 8 at the age of 90.
The distinguished member of the
Wilkes University community was
beloved throughout campus by faculty,
staff and students alike, but what so
many remember Cox by is the stories he
told.
Dr. Jonathan Ference, associate
provost for student success, remembered
Cox's stories and anecdotes from his
early years at Wilkes.
"Dr. Cox served as an invaluable
resource of institutional memory for
those faculty, staff and students joining
the Wilkes community;' Ference said.
"In particular, when I first joined the
faculty I thoroughly enjoyed getting to
know Harold and getting to know the
institution better.
"He most certainly provided new
community members with an accurate
recollection of Wilkes historical facts,
but was also able to weave into his
recollections stories that typified what
it meant to be a 'family of colonels.' I
am sure it was this flair for storytelling
and passion for Wilkes that endeared Dr.
Cox to generations of Wilkes students,
faculty and staff:'
Cox began working at Wilkes College

in 1963 and saw the university move from
its first president to its current president.
Watching so many years of Wilkes history
supplemented the archival work he did.
As the first and only university archivist
during his time, the 40 years of work Cox
put into collecting and recording archival
data is what allowed the Wilkes archives
to be what they are today. Cox's work
earned him the distinction of having the
university archives room named after
him in 2013.
The room is currently on the third
floor of the Farley Library.
Outside of the archival work, Cox
served many positions on campus
including
faculty
coordinator
of
graduate education, chair of the History
Department, faculty adviser to the
president, interim dean, and a member
of the creative writing graduate program
faculty.
Dr. Bonnie Culver, former director
of the Maslow Graduate Program in
Creative Writing, recalled that Cox
would work out with the football and
wrestling teams. She also explained that
his proudest moment was serving others.
"He was most proud of his work in
the 1990s on staff and faculty salaries
and benefits that allowed Wilkes to
pay competitive salaries and provide a
significant increase in staff benefits."

Student Government notes: Sept. 8 weekly meeting
By Sean Schmoyer
Managing Editor
Student Government conducted its first
in-person meeting of the semester this past
week.
The meeting started with the typical
format of call to order, roll call, approval
of minutes and the treasurer's report. The
treasurer's report stated that there is a total
of $71,440 across the SG accounts.
The first order of business was from Paige
Gallagher from the office of advancement
and alumni relations who presented
virtually about homecoming.
Gallagher gave an overview of how
homecoming will be offered to alumni;
informed the board that reunions for
class years ending in 0, 5, 1 and 6 would
occur this year; explained that affinity
reunions for groups like the A-list;
cheerleaders, Grissom Hall and the 75 year
of men's lacrosse would take place; and that
academic reunions will occur at the Pints
with Professors event.

Gallagher talked about potential student
involvement at homecoming and then
asked SG for $500 for 50 student tickets
which will be valid for the academic
reunions. This request is a yearly one, but
will still be voted on at
the next meeting after

the building.
Cox also donated to the Wilkes Speech
and Debate team to help continue the
program.
Dr. Terese Wignot, associate provost
for academic partnerships, reflected on all
Cox did for the university.
"Dr. Harold Cox was truly a valuable
member of our Wilkes community.
He was a faculty voice and leader on
campus for many years and was very

innumerable contributions to the archives
at the university and to the creative writing
program, all well after his retirement."
Wignot also recalled Cox's stories.
"He always had a story to tell about the
history of Wilkes and the area~•
Outside of Wilkes, Cox received his
undergraduate degree from the College
of William and Mary and earned his
doctorate in history from the University of
Virginia.

Cox was a U.S. Army veteran, serving
in active duty from 1954 to 1956. He then
served in the U.S. Army Reserve for an
additional 30 years, achieving the rank of
command sergeant major.
According to his obituary, Cox is
survived by his spouse, Robert Reite and a
son, Michael. Memorial donations may be
made to the Alzheimer's Association.

New campus bookstore opens to mixed student reactions
By Maddy Kinnard
Asst. News Editor

For the first time since 2007, Wilkes
University has its bookstore back on campus.
As the university's current bookstore
contract came to an end in August 2021,
administration chose to build a space of
its own for books on campus, rather than
continue the contract with Barnes and
Noble.
Now located on the lounge on the first
floor of the Student Union Building, the
new bookstore is more than just a way to
purchase textbooks. It houses Wilkes gear,
as the Barnes and Nobles location did, along
with school materials and plenty of snacks.
The bookstore is operating as a hybrid
model, granting students the ability to order
textbooks online as in the past. A kiosk
will also be part of the new store but due to
supply chain issues, has not been added yet.
It will be added as soon as possible.
"The course and book will determine
which versions will be offered; i.e. new, used,
rented or digital;' said Alicia Bond, director
of business operations. "The store plans
to continue offering different price points
to allow students to select the format they
prefer. If a student needs assistance, they
can always stop in the store and manager Joe
Stager is happy to assist:'
Justin Kraynack, associate vice president

of operations and compliance has found that
making this switch to an on-campus location
will also provide an economic benefit for not
only the university but for students as well.
"Thingslikerent, utilities and maintenance
expenses are considerably lower on campus:'
Kraynack said. "Though it's too early into
our agreement to quantify all the benefits
of this operation, we are confident that
our new campus store will realize not only
an economic benefit to the campus, but
increase convenience and accessibility to
products and supplies needed for classroom
and campus life:'
However, while the change in location
may allow for easier accessibility for some
students, frustrations have been expressed
by those who preferred the appeal of the
Barnes and Nobles location and feel the loss
of the lounge space as the bookstore has
taken over.
"I mean I have yet to go into it, but I'm
kinda sad and angry that they took the
space away from students:• says senior earth
and environmental science major Erika
Wintersteen. "I liked spending time in the
lounge area; it was usually quiet during the
day. I also spent a lot of time there freshman
year, too. Also, how can it be a bookstore if
there are no books present in it? It's a gift
shop:'
On whether or not students opted for
purchasing their books from the bookstore

A large variety of snacks are available In the bookstore if anyone needs to
quickly grab something to eat. Some other items available are umbrellas
and plushies.

or looked elsewhere to buy them, the latter
was more appealing for senior English major
Nicole McNelis.
"I only purchased some of my books
from the bookstore. Most of my books
this semester came from Amazon:• said
McNelis. "It is faster, more efficient, and
usually cheaper that way. Right now, the
bookstore is in a weird transition period,
and I understand that, but it is currently
pretty difficult to receive information (let
alone books) from the bookstore. Personally,
I think their current methods of operations
are super inefficient:'
All of these grievances are being taken into
consideration by the university as members
are still working to cater to students and
professor's needs as they arise.
"Collaboration between the bookstore
and faculty is critical to not only the
success of the campus store, but most
importantly to supporting the success of
our students;' said Kraynack. "A number
of transitional problems made it difficult
to fulfill some course book adoptions along
with shipping and supply chain challenges.
Our new campus store management team
is committed to correcting these problems
and to establish an active faculty outreach
campaign to solicit their feedback:'

Damage and destruction in tht! _wake. of Hurricane Ida

Hurricane Ida, the second major
hurricane of the 2021 hurricane season,
ripped through the country in the
beginning of September, with damage
with significant damage in New Orleans
and northeastern states.
Philadelphia, New York City and the
state of New Jersey saw rainfall, flooding
and tornadoes, which resulted in large
amounts of damage.
Nick Godfry, junior marketing major,
explained how this damage impacted his
family.
"My grandmother lives on Long Beach
Island, only a few blocks from the beach,
and her entire first floor was flooded with
about 2-3 feet of water;' he said. "Damage
hit pretty hard on a different part of LBI
from a tornado that passed through,
taking out a few blocks worth of houses
and docks right along the bay.
"Some other parts that got hit really
hard were the Philadelphia areas. My older
brother lives right outside of Philly and
was stuck in 3 feet of water outside of his
apartment:'
Hurricane Ida began developing in
the Caribbean Sea on Aug. 23, and then

developed mto ~ tropical depression. on
Aug. 26. Later m the day, the tropical
depression became a tropical storm
and then the next day intensified into a
hurricane.
On Aug, 29 the storm moved to the coast
of Louisiana where it is estimated that $15
to $20 billion of damage was done.
The storm moved through the country
toward the northeast as it weakened into
a tropical depression and then a tropical
cyclone. Rainfall records in numerous
states were broken and tornados varying
from EF0 to EF3 intensity were reported
across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
In all regions impacted by the storm,
infrastructure damage was overwhelming
with more than 150,000 homes without
power in New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Louisiana
also saw thousands of homes without
power.
Although the storm was smaller in size
than other hurricanes such as Katrina, the
intensity and quick development of the
storm are not common.
Lt. Col. Mark Kaster, meteorology
instructor in the earth and environmental
science department, explained the reasons
for the intensity of Hurricane Ida.

~nequahties, Ka~ter said. The defici_ts
m the polar regions and the surplus m
the equatorial regions are rebalanced by
hurricanes:'
The
imbalance
includes
both
temperature and pressure imbalances.
As storms move from the tropics, with
high heat and low pressure, northward
toward the poles, which have low heat and
high pressure, these imbalances regulate.
Excess heat in the equatorial regions will
cause a larger imbalance resulting in
larger storms.
Kaster went on to explain that the excess
heat in the atmosphere also contributes to
the large amounts of rain that come with
hurricanes such as Ida, which was a factor
in the excess flooding seen in the northern
states.
''.As the system warms up, the atmosphere
warms up. We know from physics that
warmer air holds more moisture, so there
is more available moisture to produce
these rainfall events:' said Kaster.
Kaster also pointed out that the speed
at which Hurricane Ida developed was of
concern. While New Orleans may take up
to three days to evacuate, the mere 36hour development of the storm left many
unable to evacuate in time, whether or not
residents had the means to.

A_ngela Fiorentino, seni_or earth and
environmental science maJor from New
Jersey explained her reaction to the storm.
"One of the most intense tornadoes in
New Jersey history occurred as a result of
Tropical Storm Ida;' Fiorentino said. "I
think that this storm was a real eye-opener
for a lot of people. There is no denying that
more intense storms are happening more
often and that's directly linked to climate
change. It is very worrisome, especially
for people living near the coast because
flooding is occurring more frequently as
a result:'
Damage caused by these storms can be
overwhelming, but the resiliency of those
impacted allows areas to recover well.
Jaycee Demaria, a junior nursing major,
has hope that her area of Southern New
Jersey will recover.
"Some of our favorite restaurants
flooded up to the tables inside;' she
explained. "There were roofs from houses
and restaurants in the streets and the bay.
However, we are a tight-knit community. I
know we will come together and help our
neighbors and local restaurants with the
restoration they need:'

Special education added as a new major at Wilkes
By Genny Frederick
News Editor

This semester, Wilkes University added a
new major on campus: special education. The
additional major in the education department
serves current students who have a passion
for teaching special education, as well as
future students who will be looking for a more
specific major within education.
The new major was readily accepted by new
and current students this fall, with 12 students
currently enrolled. Seven of the students were
already education majors who decided to
make the jump to the new program once it was
announced
Jordan Harrison was planning to work with
students in special education following her
college graduation, but the major allowed her
to get started earlier than expected.
'Mer being a standard education major,
I decided to go for the standalone special
education degree because I feel that it will
provide me with the opportunity to work
with students of all ages:' Harrison said. "The
degree is a K -12 certification, so I feel that it
will not only challenge me, but provide me
with the ability to work with students and be
able to watch them improve their skills and
knowledge on a daily basis:'
Billy Searle, a first-year student, heard of
the new major at orientation and from there
decided to join the program.
'i\.t first I wanted to be a business major:'
he said. "I then really began to look into the
education field. I wasn't sure which field I
wanted, but I looked into special education
and realized that's what I wanted to do in life.

developed since 2018 by Frantz Fry, but in
conjunction with the new major, will benefit
students of both schools.
Although the special education major is
in its early stages, many new ideas are being
discussed to advance the program. One of
these ideas is the addition of a class on infant
risk outside of the traditional bounds of the
classroom. The infant risk class would focus
on an understanding of what complications
during birth mean for the social, academic and
emotional development of a child.
"We're currently working right now with
some local neurologists and some pediatricians
and our hope is once we get COVID a little bit
more under control that we would actually
offer this class, in a neonatal unit so that our
students would be following doctors and
nurses around in a neonatal unit to talk about
what this development looks like;' Galella said.
The development of new courses,
partnerships, and programs to benefit the new
major is continuous and brings the enthusiasm
of the education department to life. Harris
summed up the excitement and commitment
to the new major.
"I am looking forward to the opportunities
that this new program will give me. I am
hoping to learn more about how I can advocate

First-year students settle into life on campus
By AJ Rubino and Kellle Scott
Staff Writers
Transitioning into college can be a
challenge or a breeze for some. However,
with a global pandemic still on the radar,
there are new challenges for incoming firstyear students.
How might the new students adjust to life
on campus?
'J\.ny change is hard, especially moving
into college;' said first-year student and
neuroscience major, Elie Kramer.
With the pandemic going on, it has made
the adjustment a little harder, she explained.
However, Kramer was able to ease her mind
when she was able to bring her fish, Aioli, as
a third roommate.
Originally from Schuylkill Haven, Pa.,
Kramer said that at her high school, classes
would be moved online frequently because
of COVID-19 outbreaks. That left Kramer
feeling confined and very unhappy.
She credits macaroni and cheese to
helping her through the tough times. Now,
Kramer has found herself at many events in
just the past few weeks, including Welcome
Weekend's Drag Bingo.
"It was one of the greatest nights of my
life;' said Kramer.
Despite having to be restricted to her
own house at times when an outbreak
occurred in her school, Kramer found a
sense of community as she participated in
the Welcome Weekend.
"I chose Wilkes for the close knit
community and the opportunities it holds;'
said Kramer.
Kramer said Wilkes has a great health
sciences program and as she continues to
adjust here on campus, she hopes to grow
a sense of independence. She is also eager
to explore more of what Wilkes has to offer.
On the other hand, leaving for college
was easier for some.
"It was not that difficult;' said firstyear ,student and nursing major Bridget
Rosenfeld.
In New York, Rosenfeld was not always
able to travel outside of the state due to their
restrictions. Therefore, finally leaving was a

ourtesy o
Students partied with local drag performers, with Joy and entertainment helplng to curb first year students'

nice change for Rosenfeld.
When talking about her high school
experiences with COVID-19, she was more
fortunate than Kramer. When anyone tested
positive at her school, officials made sure to
do contact tracing and took precautions.
She was still able to enjoy her senior year,
including being able to go to prom, football
games and participate in field hockey.
"I was very glad to be able to have my
senior field hockey season;' said Rosenfeld.
"I have always looked forward to going to
prom so I was very happy to hear we could
have one this year:'
In the two weeks she has been on campus,
Rosenfeld has been adjusting to college life
by hanging out with the field hockey team.
She also attended Drag Bingo.
Not everything has been so easy for
Rosenfeld. She has been faced with juggling
a busy schedule, playing field hockey and
being a nursing student.
"Wilkes has an amazing nursing program
that I am looking forward to starting;' said
Rosenfeld.

Sydney Farmer, a first-year student and
biology major with a double minor in
Spanish and biochemistry, also had to make
some major adjustments to life on campus.
"Because of the pandemic and tennis I
am restricted on the times I'm allowed to go
home;' Farmer said.
This is not the first time Farmer felt
restricted when it came to doing things. Her
high school brought a sense of unity when
it came to athletics. However, due to the
pandemic and the restrictions set in New
Jersey, the football players were only offered
two tickets. These two tickets were mainly
reserved for the players' parents, leaving
Farmer upset to miss out on their games.
"Football is a really big sport in my school
and brought together the school as a whole;'
said Farmer. "It was definitely sad to not see
a game my senior year:'
Now on campus, she is very excited
to continue her education and sports at
Wilkes. On top of being a full time student
athlete, Farmer plans to pursue a pre-med
concentration and wants to do a 4+ 1 in the

bioengineering masters program.
She has found herself trying not to
procrastinate and finishing what she
needed to do to be able to participate in
campus events. Farmer has discovered lots
of fun things to do in her first two weeks
on campus.
Recently, she attended Club Day and
participated in Welcome Weekend as much
as she could due to tennis conflicts. Farmer
is very excited to get to know the university
more and has tons of goals set for herself.
She is especially looking forward to
continuing her education in a research
based college.
"There are so many opportunities and
I cannot wait to see what the future will
hold;' Farmer said. "I hold myself to high
standards, as my biggest goal at Wilkes
is to maintain a 3.75 GPA and I will be
accountable and stay on top of my work to
achieve this goal:'

Nutritious pup treats: Doggy Delicacies' frozen PB veggie bites
By Emlly Cherkauskas
Editor-in-Chief

These low-calorie, frozen peanut
butter veggie bites are a healthy snack
that your dog will surely enjoy. They
allow your dog to eat some peanut butter
with hidden veggies mixed in, all while
offering beneficial nutrients.
Ingredients
1 cup of powdered peanut butter (with
about 3/4 cup of water)
2 large carrots, sliced
1 cup diced cucumber
2 tablespoons of coconut oil (optional)
Rice krispie cereal or oats (optional)
Directions:
First, cut and wash your vegetables.
For convenience, I used a julienne
vegetable peeler to quickly cut the
carrots into small pieces. Wash the
vegetables and let them briefly dry as
you prepare the peanut butter.
Next, mix together the peanut butter
powder and water until there are no
lumps. Now add the vegetables and
coconut oil (the latter is optional).
Once everything is mixed together,
be sure that the consistency is just

slightly runny so the peanut butter can
fill up the ice cube trays. If the mix
is too dry, add more water, and if it
is too runny, add some more powder.
Once everything is prepared, fill the
mixture into an empty ice cube tray.
For an optional added topping, you
can sprinkle some rice krispie cereal
or rolled oats on top of the cubes.
Let the cubes freeze for about 12
hours. Once completely frozen, remove
them and place them into a container.
You may have to use a butter knife or
spoon to gently pry the cubes out.
Be sure to only feed the peanut
butter cubes to your dogs about once
a day so their teeth do not become
sensitive to the coldness of this treat.
Note: I used the PB2's original
peanut butter powder due to its lower
calorie and fat count compared to the
regular spread. If you can only access
the regular premade peanut butter
spread, make sure whichever brand of
peanut butter you use does not contain
xylitol, as it is extremely poisonous to
canines.

The Met Gala returns to New York in the fall due to COVID-19
Sordoni Art Gallery hosts event due to the excitement of the Met Gala
By Morgan Rich
Staff Writer

On Sept. 13, the Met Gala returned to
the Metropolitan Museum of Art's stairs.
Otherwise known as one of fashion's
biggest events of the year, the Met Gala
was held in a smaller, more intimate
fashion than in past years, but that did
not stop fabulous celebrity fashion from
walking the red carpet.
The Met Gala is the Super Bowl of
fashion, equivalent to the Oscars in
the fashion world. Normally held on
the first Monday in May, the Met Gala
is an annual fundraising gala for the
benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art's Costume Exhibit in New York City
and marks the opening of the Costume
Institute's fashion exhibit.
This year's theme is celebrating all
things American fashion. According to
USA Today, "In America: A Lexicon of
Fashion" was meant to honor the 75th
anniversary of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art's Costume Institute. It explored the
nation's elegant identity and dug deeper
into America's creativity so there was a
lot of patriotism on the red carpet.

"I was very excited to see this yea_r's
theme with all of the new costumes," said
Rebecca Timko, sophomore business
major. "I think this theme is very unique
compared to other years:'
The co-chairs of the Met Gala are
in charge of putting together the guest
list, curating the aesthetics of the gala,

regarding proof of vaccinations. All
attendees of the Gala were required to
show their own proof of vaccination and
wear a mask indoors.
As of right now, "In America: A Lexicon
of Fashion:' featuring ensembles of
fashion in the United States, is expected
to open on Sept. 18. The second exhibit,

"I personally love the Met Gala and seeing all

the red carpet looks so it was interesting to see
how students put their own spin on it. It was
super fun! It was a super unique event that we
were very lucky to have such amazing clubs
and f acuity members that allow us to do stuff
like this."
- Karoline Freitas
creating the feel of the evening and
selecting the decor. Singer Billie Eilish,
actor Timothee Chalamet, inaugural
poet Amanda Gorman and athlete
Naomi Osaka were the co-chairs this
year, which was announced this past
May. The honorary chairs consisted of
Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram
and sponsor of the gala, Tom Ford and
Anna Wintour, the Vogue editor-inchief.
The guest list for the Met Gala is as
secretive as guest lists get. But that is
all part of the fun about watching the
gala: seeing all of the familiar faces and
guessing who is there
According to WWD, there was some
speculation as to who will show up on
Monday. On Instagram, the account
@_metgala2021 released a simulated
seating chart of the guests that were
rumored to attend the gala, though
the account is not verified. There was
also talk that the guest list expanded to
include internet personalities, athletes
and influencers this year.
The Metropolitan Museum of
Art requires all visitors ages 12
and older to show proof of being
vaccinated against COVID-19, in
accordance with New York's mandate

"In America: An Anthology of Fashion"
is expected to open on May 5, 2022, after
the Met Gala next year. The exhibits will
close on Sept. 5, 2022.
Those who were not one of the lucky
ones who got to travel to New York City
this past Monday and sit next to Lady
Gaga were still able to watch the fashion
spectacle of the season. The Met Gala
was live streamed by Vogue on Twitter.
Actresses KeKe Palmer and Ilana Glazer
hosted the live stream, which also
included interviews and an exclusive
look at the high-class attire of the guests.
Questions have already sparked about
what next year's Met Gala will entail.
So far the Met Gala is back on schedule
to take place on the original date of the
first Monday of the month, May 2, 2022.
Unless otherwise stated in the next year,
the protocols will be the same and the
theme will be a continuation of fashion
in the United States.
Even the university got in the spirit of
things when it came to the Met Gala.
From 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. the
Sordoni Art Gallery opened
so people could experience the
"L'Esprit" while walking on the red
carpet the gallery rolled out for its
students and other visitors.

At the gallery, there were light
refreshments, guided tours of "L'Esprit:'
a mini-exhibition of "The Battle of
Versailles:• a live stream of the Met Gala,
red carpet contests and more.
Attendees were encouraged to dress up
according to the theme. There were prizes
for the best costumes so many made sure
to break out their creative sides.
"I think it was an amazing opportunity
that we got to do something as creative
and expressive as this here at Wilkes;'
said Karoline Freitas, sophomore nursing
student. "I personally love the Met Gala
and seeing all the red carpet looks so it
was interesting to see how students put
their own spin on it. It was a super unique
event that we were very lucky to have
such amazing clubs and faculty members
that allow us to do stuff like this:•

The

Liz's Craft Column: DIY boho-chic wall hanger decoration

M

By Liz Cherlnka
Social Media Manager

Staff

Now that classes have started and
everyone has moved into their dorms,
you may realize the walls look more
white and plain than expected. Trying to
find affordable decorations is hard but
making cheap DIYs is easy.
This boho-chic wall hanger is a quick
craft that is sure to spice up any living
space.
This craft is time-consuming, but very
relaxing. It is nice to do this after a long
week of studying and homework to relax.
The required supplies are four
medium-sized embroidery hoops, yarn in
at least two colors, hot glue and scissors.
These supplies can be found at any craft
store, such as Joann Fabrics, Michaels or
Amazon.
To start, remove the inside part from
each hoop. This is that part that will be
used so the outside can be moved to the
side.
Grab the first hoop and any color of
yarn. Make a small spot of hot glue on the
outside of the hoop on top and place the
end of the yarn on it, being very careful
to not touch the glue.
A tip would be to push it onto the hoop
while the glue dries using the yarn around
the glue, not directly on it. Pull down
from both sides to secure it in place.
Then, pull the yarn strand down to the
bottom of the hoop directly underneath
where it is glued on top so it divides the
hoop in half. Put a small spot of hot glue
on that spot on the outside of the hoop
and glue the yarn to it.
Make sure the yarn strands are pulled
taut each time. Secure it in the same way
as before being careful to not touch the
glue.
Next, wrap the yarn around the back of
the hoop and pull it to the top. Add more
hot glue and attach it in the same way as
before.

Continue wrapping the yarn around
the hoop moving toward the right adding
a new spot of glue on the top each time.
As you progress across the circle, the yarn
on the bottom will slide and make it more
difficult to just glue on the top.
At that point, start adding a spot of
glue on the bottom and top. This process
will be very tedious but not difficult.
The end of the circle starts to get
tricky. There will be a point where you
cannot wrap yarn anymore onto the hoop
because it will start extending onto the
circle rather, than just forming around it.
In this case, finish the circle off by just
wrapping from the top to the bottom on
the edge of the circle, gluing the yarn
down and cutting it. This will add a
strand of yarn on the edge to cover the
wood of the hoop.
That finishes off the first hoop of four.
To continue, repeat these steps with
another color yarn.
This craft can have two, three or four
different colors. The example uses two
but feel free to take creative liberty with
the colors.
Once all four hoops have been wrapped,
it is time to attach them together. Lay
them out on a flat surface to determine the
orientation of the hoops. This can mean
turning the hoop or flipping it to change
where the yarn is. The example can be
used as inspiration for orientations.
To connect the hoops once they are
arranged, add a large spot of hot glue on
the bottom of the hoop in the middle and
connect that to the center of the top of
the hoop below it. Repeat this with the
rest of the hoops.
Allow this time to dry before it is hung.
Once they dry, the craft is complete and
ready to display to add some boho chic to
your space.

1) First, glue the yarn to the outside

Liz's Craft Rating: Two out of five yarn-balls. This DIY boho-chic wall hanger
Is affordable because It requires only a few supplies. It does not require any

Concerts and festivals are up and running once again

for those to feel worried about their
safety, especially because of COVID-19.
However, although there were moments

was around $150.

· - - -Each week, The Beacon's editorial board will take a stance on a current issue.

Vaccinated or not, we have a responsibility
Health and safety of others must come first
According to the Wilkes University
COVID-19 Dashboard, there have been
14 positive cases on campus during the
week of Sept. 6.
Even with our 80 percent vaccination
rate on campus, there are still positive
cases emerging within the student and
faculty population.
This should come as no surprise given
that even as the country's vaccination
rate increases, the number of cases is
currently the highest it has been since
January, something visible in data
collected from the Center for Systems
Science and Engineering at Johns
Hopkins University.
The immediate reaction to squash here
is that vaccines are ineffective; we know
this to be false. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention explains so in its
explanation of breakthrough cases.
"Vaccine breakthrough cases are
expected. COVID-19 vaccines are
effective and are a critical tool to bring
the pandemic under control," according
to the CDC. "However, no vaccines
are 100 percent effective at preventing
illness. Some fully vaccinated people
will get sick, and some will even be
hospitalized or die from COVID-19."
The CDC continues to explain that

evidence does show that the vaccine
makes illness less severe and that the risk
of infection, hospitalization and death are
all much lower in vaccinated individuals
than in unvaccinated individuals.
Knowing all this is important because
as a vaccinated individual, you may have
the misconception that you are invincible
and fully protected from COVID-19. As
students and faculty, we have to recognize
that whether we are vaccinated or not,
we still need to follow health and safety
protocols and be considerate of others if
we start to feel ill.
Members of campus who are not
vaccinated undergo weekly assurance
testing in the Marts Center. In a recent
email to the student body, the COVID-19
Daily Response Team addressed students
missing the weekly assurance testing.
The response team said, "The Delta
variant continues to surge throughout
our country. We know from experience
that identifying and isolating positive
cases as quickly as possible is the best
way to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
If you are not vaccinated, it is absolutely
imperative that you participate in regular
testing:'
Those who are vaccinated can still go
to the Marts Center to receive assurance

testing if they are sick or prefer to be
tested. Though in a recent email, Health
and Wellness Services clarified that
those exhibiting symptoms should not go
to the Marts Center and should instead
make an appointment at the Health and
Wellness Center at 570-408-4730 to be
tested.
As a campus community we have no say
over the masking policy that has returned
while inside buildings. However, actions
such as not following the masking policy,
attending reckless, mask.less events and
exposing others to ourselves when we
feel ill can have serious consequences.
If the goal is to not miss another year of
athletics, not be all online, not be masked
outdoors, and not be at limited capacity,
then remember that those regulations go
back in place based on our actions as a
community.
If any or all the restrictions of the past
year come back in place, we as a campus
community would likely have no one to
blame but ourselves for disregarding our
responsibilities to keep ourselves and
each other healthy and safe.

Marvel Studios nails it again: No spoiler "Shang-Chi" review
By Liam Flynn
Staff Writer

0

lue

om
in

Marvel Studios returned to theaters
in epic form over Labor Day weekend
with the mythic martial arts film "ShangChi and the Legend of the Ten Rings",
setting box office records while enjoying
universal, critical and audience acclaim.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton,
"Shang-Chi" fits into Marvel packaging
in its own way, but it has an immense
soulfulness that other MCU movies,
superhero movies and action movies, in
general, should take notes from.
Simu Liu stars as Shang-Chi, a key
piece to a broken family that has a history
of infighting.
The dysfunctional family dynamics are
even more important than the 10 rings
that grant such immense power to Shang
Chi's power-hungry father Wenwu, who
has lived for 1,000 years and created a
society called the Ten Rings which has
destroyed kingdoms and swayed the
events all over the world.
When Wenwu found love with Jiang
Li (Fala Chen), there was peace. They
married and started a family.
But after Shang-Chi's mother died, a
newly monstrous Wenwu tried to mature
his son by making him a killer, causing
the young boy to leave behind his sister
Xialing (Meng'er Zhang) and Wenwu.
The film is an epic, mega-budget
aircraft that flies over an abyss of grief.
This backstory comes for Shang-Chi,
known as an American adult as Shaun
when he rides the bus with his friend Katy,
played by the sensational Awkwafina, in
their home of San Francisco.
A group of henchmen attack ShangChi for a necklace he wears around his
neck, and in a beat that's prefaced like
a power-up, Shaun's immense courage
suddenly comes to light.
So do his fighting skills, which help
make for an incredible melee scene
of hand-to-hand combat that has the
camera gazing for long shots and freely
going in and out of the moving bus, just
like its impromptu hero.
The power for this film, however,
comes through in the eyes of his father,
Wenwu.
One of the movie's most brilliant
choices is casting Tony Leung so that
can repeat the same magic he's had from
countless romances and dramas in Hong
Kong. Leung rules this movie.

With the same silent passion and
stillness that made "In the Mood for
Love" one of the greatest romances of
all time, Leung destroys armies, raises a
family, and struggles to resist destructive
grief.
His presence is made all the more
powerful by the 10 blue rings that help
him slingshot around and destroy
whatever is in his path.
When he hears the voice of what could
be his wife from behind a cave of rock,
Wenwu becomes a Darth Vader-like
tyrant, driving a campaign to rampage
through the mother's magical home
known as Ta Lo, in order to get to a cave
that everyone else knows (including his
son and daughter) has an apocalyptic,
soul-sucking dragon inside.
I believe it is one of the best
performances from the Marvel Cinematic
Universe because the passion and grief it
expresses are perfectly displayed.

Cretton is able to take this enthralling
movie from one scene to the next with
this vivid sense of a brother and sister
trying to stop their father from destroying
everything because he can't move on.
It's a more devastating threat than the
usual world domination thing.
Plus, it parallels how the script builds
out the painful backstory of Shang-Chi
and his similarly skilled and aggrieved
sister, Xialing.
With a few strong twists along the way,
this movie turns into an adventure and
a homecoming to a peaceful realm from
a whole different time, which brings
in a sweet, moving performance from
Michelle Yeoh.
These passages show audiences how
Shang-Chi learned two different fighting
approaches.
This parallels the two very different
lives both of his parents lived.
"Shang-Chi's" thrilling's embrace of

clarity, of nudging your imagination
instead of doing all the work for you,
spreads the inspired special effects that
enhance the magic of this story and the
world of its characters.
The majority of CGI useage is saved up
for the last massive sequence, which is
such an over-the-top, giddy, rollercoaster
ride that you can't help but root for it.
Not to mention that audiences also get
to see the return of legendary incredible
Hulk villain The Abonomition and, MCU
fan-favorite Wong, Master of the Mystic
Arts.
The Avengers, the new roster at least,
lurk on the periphery of "Shang-Chi and
the Legend of the Ten Rings;' but this
film benefits from establishing its deeper
family and friend relationships.
Liu and Awkwafina have exceptional
chemistry as they are thrown into the
world of this universe's superheroes.
Awkwafina becomes a vital source of
levity for the script, and a welcoming
audience surrogate as the film ramps up
to a large battle. She helps the humor pop
even more compared to the story's darker
themes, making numerous passages of
the movie not only thrilling but charming
and funny.
From the very start, Shang-Chi signals
this is a different storytelling experience
than many are·used to from the MCU.
It feels less like an overtly superhero
film in many regards, although it certainly
doesn't hide its comic book origins.
Rather, it simply seems less obviously
a costumed hero tale and could largely
stand alone apart from the MCU if not
for a few specific tie-in elements.
"Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten
Rings" is top-tier Marvel superhero origin
storytelling, rising to the occasion to not
only live up to, but exceed expectations.
Without spoiling, the movie does
make great efforts to address Marvel's
previously problematic presentations of
Asian characters and it embraces fruitful
ideas, both big and small.
This movie is not an experiment for.
Marvel and Disney; it is a promising
origin story that could fit in perfectly
to the continuation of the MCU's phase
four.
I give "Shang-Chi" a 9.3 out of 10, and
I place it among the best of all Marvel
films.

My Wilkes University on-campus bookstore experience
Wait... Where are the textbooks?
By Emily Cherkauskas
Editor-in-Chief
The Colonel conception
Wilkes University recently ended its ISyear relationship with the local Barnes &amp;
Noble store on Main Street, which ultimately
caused the institution to be devoid of a
physical place to sell textbooks and college
merchandise. Or so we initially thought.
The university had a choice: renew the
contract or find another store to host the
collection of merchandise and textbooks.
It went with a decision that is fairly
popular with other colleges nowadays:
Instead of subjecting students to the
headache of traversing the city to find
textbooks and supplies, why not just build
a bookstore on campus instead?
I feel it would be common sense to be
happy in reaction to the initial news. Until
we learned that the SUB lounge would be
replaced by the bookstore.
As a commuter myself, I found solace
in the SUB's lounging area as a first-year
student and found a sense of worry for
new students who did not know the more
secluded lounge areas of the campus. The
lounge was a truly calming area-we could
peacefully relax, all while listening to the
ambiance of the dining hall and Student
Development area, while watching cars and
students pass by outside the windows.
Despite the concerns, the university

assured us that there would still be lounging
areas in the SUB for commuter students.
The project took place through the summer,
and as time went on, we became more curious
to see the results. The store was ready to open
its doors during Welcome Weekend, the
same time the campus welcomed new and
returning students and faculty.
The idea was that the bookstore would be
so convenient for students-it was to be a
safer and more convenient option for us.
The confrontation
After a long and busy day working in our
office, my friend and I had some free time
on our hands, so we decided to stop by the
monolith that is the Henry Student Center.
He was craving dinner; I was craving
answers. Although we were united in our
journey across campus, we knew it was time
to bid farewell to each other as we entered
through the doors of the student center. His
destination was upstairs, and mine was just
to the right of me.
Before the doors of Colonel Comer stood
just two tables and one computer-the
remnants of the destroyed SUB lounge. The
gaming area was decimated, its innards ripped
out-no more. These were empty husks of
once glorious and colorful hang-out areas.
I hope this was worth it, I thought to
myself. Through the glass planes, I saw
tablets and pens lining the shelves and
hoodies hanging from racks. Taking
just a few steps through the graveyard, I

CNO BOOKS HERE, SORRY~

approached the door. With a heavy breath,
my fingers wrapped around the door. I
pulled. And I pushed. The door wasn't
moving. What is happening?
The people who survived this obstacle
started to look at me through the glass. I
felt their eyes on me. With a heavy breath,
I used my entire bodily force to pull at the
door handle. It worked. The door managed
to swing open. I was exhausted.
In hindsight, it was an omen: an inanimate
object managing to expel incompetence
being a sign of the times to come-despite
my ignorance at the time. Nonetheless, I
pressed forward.
Upon first glance, I was impressed. The
store was beheld within modern but classy
architecture that fit the Wilkes University
aesthetic. I was greeted by stunning
hoodies, shirts, socks, plushies and more.
I discovered blank notebooks, virgin pens,
all eagerly yet patiently waiting to be used.
However, those were not what I, and many
others, had visited to find.
Like how a bee dances through stalks,
eager to find the sunflower with the
largest bud of seeds, I wandered through
the shelves, attempting to find the desired
textbook section.
But I hit a dead end. The end of the store
was marked with a table and chairs, most
likely for customers looking to take a break
as they wandered this mysterious world.
That could not have been it, right? I turned
back to see shelves of notebooks and pens.
Where are the textbooks?
Just as my hope ran out, I saw a seemingly
hidden doorway. Past that doorway showed
plastic-sealed textbooks sitting upon metal
shelves. After further peering into the room,
I realized this was an employee-only area.
This is not right, I thought. Where are the
textbooks? That isn't the textbook section.
I thought this was a bookstore-where are
the textbooks lying about? And then it hit
me. The textbooks are not here. In fact, there
is no space available to house the textbooks
that are required for hundreds of courses for
just this semester alone.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. The
store associates are certainly looking at me
like I'm doing something wrong. Feeling
embarrassment fill me, I turned to the door.
As I am inches from the door, my body
halts, turning to the nearby associate at one
of the shelves.
My scared body croaked out the question
that would be echoed by others around
campus: where are our textbooks?

The answer was heart-shattering. There
are no physical textbooks. I have to order
them online, pay for shipping and either
pick them up at the bookstore or have them
shipped to my address.
With all my might, I once again force the
door open as I leave. I was already beaten
down enough, and this door was the nail
in the coffin for my emotional state. The
suppressing noise of it finally closing
confirmed it. The sealed coffin lid blocked
out any light and any hope for my life.
The coroner's report
Colonel Corner, a college bookstore that
does not physically sell any textbooks, is
a worthless and unpunished murderer of
hopes and dreams.
As I continue to recover from the
traumatic audacity of the bookstore that
does not sell textbooks, I have no emotions
left but fury and curiosity. I may lack my
sense of touch to feel the textbooks, but I do
have my eyes and ears.
Through word of mouth, I found out that
one particular student had been waiting
about a month to pick up a textbook that
they had shipped to the bookstore-with the
store offering no solution to them. Another
student had to pay an extraordinary amount
for two basic notebooks.
You can go to Walmart or the Dollar Tree
and get the same type of notebook for no
more than $1, but you would have to go
out of your way for that, walking down the
streets of Wilkes-Barre-in the case of the
local Dollar Tree. It's just across the street
from where the old bookstore used to be.
Isn't this new campus bookstore supposed
to be for convenience?
Many students don't feel entirely
comfortable leaving their home-base that
is Wilkes' campus in order to explore the
city, and it's as if the university knows that.
It is like they are willing to take advantage
of students with overinflated prices for basic
school supplies.
I say taking advantage because at least
some items are lacking price tags or labels.
You wont know the price of something
until it's rung up.
I did see one price tag; it was specifically
on an avocado squishy plush and read $40.
At least it was cute-looking.
Maybe I'm becoming too emotional about
this subject. Perhaps I should purchase a $40
avocado squishy plush to calm my nerves.

The long-awaited return to in-person classes is finally here
By Rudy Urenovlch

·

Staff Writer
I often find myself thinking back to the
spring of 2020 when the lockdown kept
getting extended, another couple days .. .
another week ... another month. I remember
posting on Snapchat "See you in a month,
Wilkes!" the day we left in March.
How naive.
When we ended the school year totally
virtual, I wondered if we would ever have a
"normal" semester again. It's weird that it's
almost two years later; it's almost as if time
stopped that unseasonably warm March day,
when much of the country closed down, and
we have been stuck in a time warp ever since.
I long for days when I had never heard the
word "COVID~ and the daily news was not
riddled with data on infections, deaths, and
vaccines. Full disclosure, I was not someone
who was heartbroken when the campus
closed. It definitely felt strange, but to be
honest, part of me enjoyed working on my
assignments at my own pace, and attending
class from the comfort of my room. I am an
introvert in every sense.
That being said, the next school year,
2020-2021, definitely made me realize the
downsides of a predominantly online class
schedule. This year, I was particularly happy
when all my classes were in-person, and on
campus-activities were back up and running.
Even though we have already established
that I am an antisocial introvert, I was feeling
isolated and in desperate need of some
human interaction after the past year and a
half. We have been back on campus for barely
two weeks now, yet I have formed more

\

friendships and partaken in more campus
activities than I have in my first two years of
college. I really do feel like I am finally getting
a true college experience, and many people I
know feel the same.
Now, we are after all at college to get an
education, not just for the social scene.
With that being said, I definitely do feel my
newfound outgoing, extrovert-in-trainingpersona prefers in-person classes. If you

know what you are doing in an online class,
it's a breeze. You just turn in your assignments,
take your tests, reply to your discussion posts,
and you will probably end up with a 4.0.
However, I can personally attest that an
online class in a subject you are totally new to
or genuinely struggle with, is about a million
times worse online than if it was in-person.
There definitely is a sense of being totally
helpless, getting across to your professor

We\Nantto

exactly what you do not understand through
means of a zoom call, or a series of emails is
next to impossible.
In person, you can look at the tangible class
material together with your professor, which
is always better, in my opinion. Also, in faceto-face classes you have the opportunity to
meet with and converse with classmates, and
help each other on ~ignments. It is quite
hard to make connections with classmates
when you are a black screen with a name on
Zoom.
I know, I know, I have to address the
elephant in the room: The pandemic is not
over. It is still ongoing, with new, more deadly
variants emerging.
Even though the university is taking
stringent precautions, the more people there
are on campus, the easier the virus may
spread. I recognize I am extremely fortunate
to not have been directly impacted by the
virus, and I suppose this fact makes me a little
less afraid of it.
Don't get me wrong, I always carry a little
hand sanitizer with me, and run away as
fast as I can from large crowds, but I guess
I feel that as long as I, and in a perfect world
everyone else, follow all the guidelines, we
have a shot at combating this virus. That
being said, the fact that many people are
vaccinated and masks are still required, and
social distancing is still mandated makes me
feel better.
Overall, I am glad to be back in person
on campus, and quite unlike myself, I am
optimistic for the rest of the year.

20 years later: 9/11 's impact on the current generation
By Breanna Eblsch
Opinion Editor

Where were you on Sept. 11, 2001?
This is a question inevitably asked every
year on the fateful day that has changed
our nation forever.
Millions of Americans can recall the
exact details of what they were doing,
where they were and how they found
out about the horrible news that was
unfolding in New York City, Pennsylvania
and Washington, D.C.
Every story is different.
But who can only say some variation
of "I don't know" or "I wasn't born yet"?
Who has learned about 9/11 through
secondhand accounts from family
members, teachers, educational videos
and many other resources.
Genz.
A vast majority of this generation wasn't
even alive when the attacks occurred.
To them, the anniversary marks a
day in American history that claimed
innocent lives and brought the country
into international conflict, but they don't
have any personal connection like older
generations do.
They don't have stories to tell or
emotions to recall because they were
either too young to remember or not born
yet.
And now, 20 years later, as the nation
reflects in solitude on the horrific day that
not only changed America but the rest of
the world as well, it's become evident that
the effects of Sept. 11 have impacted Gen
Z in several ways which cannot be ignored
anymore.
This generation has only known a post9/ 11 world.
There was never anything before what
we know as our current reality.
Terrorism,
conflict,
death
and
uncertainty has been at the forefront of
everyone's mind over the last two decades
because those issues are happening so
often it's hard to ignore.
And while no one could have predicted
the long-term effects of Sept. 11 on the
youngest and unborn children at the time,
it's clear that this generation is coming to
terms with the reality of the world in a
variety of unique ways.
Whether it be through political or
social beliefs, mindset or worldview, Gen
Z has been shaped by Sept. 11, 2001.
Because of the absolutely terrifying
event that happened in Lower Manhattan,

but was watched by the world in 2001,
the generation that is now old enough to
make their own decisions and has grown
up in the wake of such a major tragedy
are working to make the world and their
country a better place. But it isn't easy
when opinions being formed belong to
the two generations mainly affected by
9/11.
According to the Ronald Reagan
Presidential Foundation and Institute,
"The Pew Research Center finds that
Generation Z-those born after 1996are just as likely as millennials to say that
they think other countries in the world
are better than the United States. It is too
soon to tell where Generation Z, which
has little to no memory of Sept. 11 or even
the era when the Iraq and Afghanistan
conflicts dominated the news, will land on
foreign policy issues. But early indications

somewhere in the globe that claimed lives
and the worry about danger on a daily
basis practically didn't exist.
But everything changed on that fateful
day in New York, and now Gen Z are
the ones taking on a burden they never
expected.
Beyond the fact that Sept. 11 changed
the course of history, the United States
as a whole and the world for good, one
of the largest impacts that the youngest
generation is experiencing now is the
anxiety that is interwoven into their lives.
This also isn't a shock because, since
9/11, news coverage has adapted to the
current state of the world which means
reporting on all the devastating events
that have occurred.
There has been no escaping the extreme
negativity for two decades now.
The current generation has in some wa s

But everything changed on that fateful day in
New York, and now Gen Z are the ones taking on a
burden they never expected.
suggest they will share at least some of the
sensibilities of their elder peers, including
their view of America's role in the world:'
This should come as no surprise.
Gen Z has seen some of the most violent
events unfold in their lifetime and seeing
how the nation responds has drastically
changed the mindset about the United
States as a whole.
They've grown up seeing America fail
time and time again while fearing their
safety is in danger on a daily basis.
The post-9/11 world is not beautiful.
These past 20 years have been some of
the most devastating and have brought
countless issues to the forefront that were
almost never thought about prior to the
terrorist attacks.
And unfortunately, this is all the
individuals who belong to Gen Z have
known.
Their parents and grandparents had the
privilege of living in a world that wasn't
constantly at war and took for granted a
simplicity that no longer exists.
Headlines in the news weren't always
reporting on another attack that happened

become desensitized to the variations of
violence that rule the world, but carry the
anxiety of everyday life with them because
there is no other option. What else is there
to believe when this is all you know?
According to Army Emergency Relief,
"Over 20,000 American youth were
polled by the Varkey Foundation, who
were asked what they dreaded most for
the future. According to the report, 82
percent of them are more concerned
about the emergence of terrorism and
extremism than climate change or
worldwide pandemics. One of the leading
prospects in this anxiety is from Gen Z's
engagement with the news:'
As we see a significant rise in mental
health issues among young people,
especially those who belong to Gen Z,
it isn't hard to understand why they are
feeling this way.
This generation has grown up practicing
lockdown drills while seeing mass
shootings happen almost every other day
on the news.
They have seen terrorist attacks of
varying degrees carried out in their own

country and around the world.
Nowhere feels completely safe anymore
with the possibility of some kind of danger
being right around the corner.
Even though a majority of Gen Z can't
recount the events of 9/11 from their
memory, every individual can certainly
explain how that one day changed
everything to the point where their life
as it is today, is different than any other
generations before them.
The young people are taking on the
burden of the long-term impacts the Sept.
11 attacks created without knowing this
was going to be their future.
As reported by the Observer, "Some
researchers believe that even mediabased exposure to collective trauma could
likely have a longer-term impact on the
attitudes and beliefs of those who grew
up in a post-9/11 world. It is possible,
for example, that exposure to 9/ l l and
other acts of terrorism has led to fears of
perceived threats, political intolerance,
prejudice and xenophobia in some
American children:'
We, as a nation, have changed drastically
over the course of the last 20 years due to
the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.
Sept. 11 was catastrophic, claiming
thousands of innocent lives and launching
America into a state of terror.
Even though Gen Z does not remember
what happened that day or how terrifying
the immediate after effects were, they have
had no other choice but to come to terms
with how the events of that day changed
their lives forever.
Now, as the 20th anniversary passes this
year, we solemnly remember the lives lost
and vow to protect our country so nothing
as horrific ever happens on our soil again.
But as time continues on and stories
are told over and over again to teach the
youngest generation about what happened
that fateful day, it becomes more obvious
that the impacts of the United States' most
tragic day are affecting young Americans
in ways that cannot be continued to
ignore.
Where were you on Sept. 11, 2001?
It's a question that Gen Z cannot answer.
One that they can only supply memories
and stories they have heard from others in
their life.
"How has Sept. 11, 2001, changed your
life?"

AFC Conference: A look at the top four teams per division

According to the power rankings, the top

NFC Conference: A look at the top four teams per division
By Zara Lantzman
Staff Writer
The NFL Power Rankings have been
released, as the league started on Thursday,
Sept. 9. According to the Power Rankings,
the top teams in the NFC are the Packers
from the North, the Rams from the West,
the Buccaneers from the South, and the
Washington Football Team from the East.
Starting in the North, after going 13-3 last
season, there was suspicion of quarterback
Aaron Rodgers leaving the Packers.
However, they now are in a great position
to make a Super Bowl run as he has decided
to play this season with the number one
ranked wide receiver Davante Adams.
The Packers forfeited a key player in
center Corey Linsley, but they addressed
that in the draft by gaining center Josh
Meyers. Green Bay will be without their star
left tackle for seven weeks, as All-Pro David
Bakhtiari, who suffered a left ACL tear on
Dec. 31, is ineligible to play until Oct. 24.
They have also lost running back Jamaal
Williams as he decided to join the Lions, a
NFC rival, in the free agency season. The
Packers drafted cornerback Eric Stokes in

the first round of the 2021 NFL draft and also lost tight end Gerald Everett to their
signed linebacker De'vondre Campbell NFC rival, the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams
during his free agency. The Packers start will start their season off by playing against

Ryan Fitzpatrick. They lost longtime
defensive end Ryan Kerrigan to their NFC
rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, and replaced
him with linebacker Jamin Davis.
Washington also added wide receiver
Dyami Brown by drafting him in the third
round of the 2021 draft. Second-year
running back Antonio Gibson is expected
to have a more important role in the offense
while second-year defensive end Chase
Young is looking to build upon his past
season. The Washington Football Team will
play against the Los Angeles Chargers in
week one.
The upcoming NFL season is bound to be
interesting due to teams making off-season
trades to structure runs for the Lombardi
Trophy.

FH: Overtime push not enough to award first win of the season
By Baylee Guedes
Asst. Sports Editor

EDWARDSVILLE, Pa. - The field
hockey team faced the Alvernia Golden
Huskies at Schmidt Stadium this past
Saturday. Alvernia took the Blue and Gold
to the goal cage, winning the match 3-2 in
overtime.
"The team was largely unknown going
into this season as there has been two
new coaches since their last competition
in 2019;' said head coach Charlotte
MacDonald. "The group works very hard
and is anchored by very strong leadership
from our upperclassmen.
"We have a lot of potential and are using
our early games to test that and work out
the kinks. There has already been so much
growth from this group so I am excited
to keep working with them making
adjustments in games and practices to
continue their development:'
In the first period, Alvernia put up
five shot attempts, two of which were
saved by sophomore goalkeeper Carly
Eidle. Wilkes was not able to get any shot
attempts against the Golden Huskies in
the first period.
Six minutes into the second period,
junior midfielder Abigail Davis was able
to put up the first goal of the game and
of the season for Wilkes assisted by senior
Ali Dunn.
"You can not beat that feeling:' said
Dunn in regards to being the team that
scores the first goal. "Especially when you

have been working towards that goal. It is
also great to see the excitement on all your
teammates' faces:'
The Colonels put up three other shot
attempts in this period, however, they
were unsuccessful.
With three minutes left in the second
period, Alvernias Makenzie Smeigh took
on Eidle in the goal cage, scoring for the

Golden Huskies and tying the game at 1-1.
Senior center-forward and co-captain
Morghan Murphy battled back and was
able to attack Huskies' goalkeeper Hannah
Wolfe.
''As a center-forward, I knew once we
were tied 1-1, and I needed to get one in
the back of the net," Murphy said.
Murphy's first attempt at goal was

unsuccessful; with five minutes remaining
in the third period, Murphy got off
another shot for Wilkes, thanks to an
assist from Davis, putting them ahead of
Alvernia 2-1.
A few seconds remained in the third
and Alvernias Madison Potthoff decided
they were not done with the Colonels yet
and tied things up again, 2-2 right at the
buzzer.
Alvernias defense did not allow shot
attempts for the Colonels in the fourth
period.
Wilkes' Eidle had a save and there was
a missed shot attempt for Alvernia. Both
teams came up scoreless, sending the
game into overtime.
One minute into overtime, the Golden
Huskies' Brooke Spezialetti put up a shot
off of a corner and dribble that put the
final score at 3-2.
"Our main goal of the game was to
score goals and we successfully added two
goals to the scoreboard:' said Murphy.
''Along with scoring, our on-the-field
communication provided informative
constructive criticism, along with an equal
balance of positivity:'
Moving forward, the field hockey team
looks to capitalize on their current losses
as a learning tool for future matches
The Colonels will be on the road for a
match against Albright College tonight at
7 pm. Conference play begins on Sept. 25
against Arcadia University.

MSOC: Overtime goal from Rangers breaks Colonel win streak
By Arlel Reed
Sports Editor

e

for

EDWARDSVILLE, Pa. - On Patriot
Day, the men's soccer team hosted Drew
University in a non-conference match
where Drew prevailed in overtime to
defeat the Colonels 1-0.
"We just came off a really good game
against Juniata;' said head coach Michael
Piranian. "We were knocking the ball
around well and I was hoping we would
have a similar level of play; our style just
didn't seem to show out. We are searching
for different guys and different ways to
win the game:'
Wilkes started the game off strong,
popping off several shots on goal and
controlling the pace of the first half. Four
shot attempts and two corner kicks later,
Drew started to get into the game and
cannon off shots.
The Rangers had yet to see a victory this
season and were eager to get their first
win. They stepped up their intensity after
the Colonels attempted a bombardment
of shots on goal and two corner kicks.
As Drew increased their physicality,
Wilkes also stepped up their game.
"They brought it to us, that was
probably our most physical game of the
season;' said senior goalkeeper Zachary
Tone.
Both teams battled back and forth
throughout the entire 90 minute contest.
First-year forward Herbert Ramirez had
the opportunity to put Wilkes up by one

Senior goalkeeper, Zachary Tone quickly rolled the ball out to his teammate
to try and get the offense going.

around the 80th minute mark, but as fate
would have it, Ramirez just barely missed
the goal and the Colonels went into
overtime.
'Tm a lefty, and I hit it on my right foot;'

said Ramirez. "I think it just slightly went
wide. The whole game I was using my left
foot, so they knew I would cut to my left.
I decided to cut right instead to get more
open and it was just unlucky:'

With the minutes dwindling down on
the clock, the Colonels were scrambling
to rattle off a goal. First-year midfielder
Park Scott was able to rattle off two shots
within the final two minutes of the game.
As luck would have it, his shots were ohso-close to hitting the back of the net.
Within the final 10 seconds of
regulation, a last second heave off the
boot of junior defender Vincent Ippolito
looked clean to break the plane and
crown Wilkes victorious, but a heroic
save by Drew's Alex Idrovo would give
the Rangers a little more time to duke it
out with the Colonels.
Heading into overtime, Wilkes was
locked-in looking to maintain their
unblemished record. The Colonels
took to the ball right off the bat as they
maintained control of the ball for the
vast majority of the 10 minute overtime
frame.
Within the final minute of overtime,
Christian Tyson, a sophomore midfielder
from Drew, broke past the wall of Colonel
defenders and cranked the ball barely
past the fingertips of Tone.
"In the end, it just seemed like they
wanted it more;' said Tone. "We came
short at the end, but I thought we battled
well and matched their physicality:'
The Colonels look to bounce back from
this loss as they return to the field tonight
at Susquehanna University at 7 p.m.

WSOC &amp; WVB: Colonels travel to N.J. for weekend matchups
By Jason Eberhart
Sports Staff Writer
A pair of Colonel teams traveled to
New Jersey on Saturday to play in nonconference matchups. The women's soccer
team played at Rutgers-Newark while the
women's volleyball team played Drew
University and Mount Saint Vincent in a
tri-match.
Rutgers-Newark got off to an early
lead in the game, scoring their first goal
just 10 minutes in. The Colonels defense
was stout for the rest of the game, rarely
allowing the opposition onto their side of
the field.
For the next 80 minutes, Wilkes looked
for an equalizer but was unable to find one
on the stifling Scarlet Raiders defense.
With three minutes remaining in the
game, the Colonels were on the attack and
had two shots on goal.
Despite powerful attempts on the shots,
both potential goals were saved by the
Rutgers-Newark goalkeeper.
"Give credit to their goalkeeper;' said
head coach John McNichol. "She made
three unbelievable saves that kept us off
the board.
The women's soccer team eventually fell
to Rutgers-Newark 1-0.
"I am extremely proud of all of us

because when they scored, not one single
person put their head down and gave up;'
said senior forward Tatiana Mancera
The Colonels had their fair share of
opportunities in the afternoon, as they
led the game in shots 16-5. They were just
unable to get one of their shots to fall in
the back of the net.
"I think in practice we can continue to
work on staying connected both on the
attack and when defending," said senior
midfielder Emily Bidelspach. "We can also
continue to work on finishing off restarts
and the corner opportunities we get:'
The Colonels have reached a three
game losing streak, but a rotation of their
veteran players have seen this situation
before.
"We need to continue to trust in the
plan and keep working. We have a good
team; we just have not been on the
right end of the score this week:' said
McNichol. "Games like this will help us as
we progress through our season:'
A half an hour down the road in the
Garden State, the women's volleyball team
found some success as they split a pair of
matches against Mount Saint Vincent and
Drew University. _
In their first game of the day, Wilkes
found themselves trailing 1-0 to the
Dolphins of MSV.

Senior forward Emlly Bldelspach holds strong against a King's defender.

This was now the Colonels' fourth
straight set loss against the team as they
had been swept just a week prior in a
match in Wilkes-Barre.
"Our success this week is attributed to
executing our game plan and having faced
them recently;' said head coach Joseph
Czopek. "Although we started out slow
off the bus, once warmed up it was a solid
team effort:'
First-year members Alexis Reedy and
Alexa Cassel found their groove in their
last three sets. The two rookies have
shown their versatility for the Colonels.
Reedy led the match in kills with 14, while
Cassel had a team high 20 assists and 16
digs.
"Since day one the team has been so
encouraging and welcoming, which
has helped boost my confidence while
playing;' said Cassel. "It's really just
important to trust yourself and your team
in the end:'
With strong play from the whole team,
the Colonels were able to win the last
three sets 25-21, 27-25, 25-23 to earn the
victory in the match.
The team was unable to find the same
success against Drew University as they
lost in three straight sets to earn the loss.
Having to play back-to-back matches,
Drew took advantage of a worn down
Colonels team.

Sophomore libero Ali Yordy had a
notable performance in the tri-match as
she recorded 10 digs in both games.
'Tm definitely trying to take on more
of a leadership role on and off the court,
and also keeping a good relationship
with all the girls on the team;' said Yordy.
"Whenever we get down, I want to be the
person to keep everyone going with high
energy."
Although losing to Drew, the Colonels
were very pleased to be coming home
with a win after playing two very good
programs.
"The strength of our early season
schedule is it has the young team gaining
valuable experience;' said Czopek. "Facing
strong competition allows them to see
what they are capable of achieving by
working hard in practice to prepare. Their
positive attitude and willingness to play
for each other will pay huge dividends as
our season goes on:'
Both teams play a pair of games this
week as women's soccer plays a pair of
games at Bruggeworth Field tonight
and Saturday against Susquehanna and
Messiah, respectively. Women's volleyball
returns to the Marts Center on Thursday
to take on Cairn University.

Program Updates
•

Kevin Oderman and Ken Vose Retire
Two brilliant writers and mentors have retired from our faculty,
although Kevin will
continue to take on the occasional student in
our Master Class program. Join us in
wishing them long and
productive writing days ahead.

• New Calendar
Creative Writing will still have half-year terms (so students’
Financial Aid will
not be affected), but we will now follow the
Wilkes University academic calendar for
our course calendars. In
the fall, we will officially begin our course work in late
August and
finish in mid-December, and in the spring, we will begin midJanuary and
end in early May. To make up for the loss of two
weeks (from our normal 17-week schedule),
students may be
asked to begin their work before the actual start date, and thesis
students will still have extra time to complete their work after the
term is over;
but from now on, all students will be submitting their
final work before residencies
instead of during or after. In June,
we'll announce the term and residency dates for
the next few
years, and we'll adjust our calendars on the website, on LIVE, and
with
the University Registrar.

•

New Term Dates for the coming Academic Year
Fall 2021: June 22 - Dec. 13, 2021
Spring 2022: Jan. 18 - May 4, 2022
The residencies remain scheduled for June 18-26, 2021 and Jan
7-15, 2022.

•

Will our June residency be in-person or online?
We are working on hosting a masked, socially-distanced, inperson residency for June,
but it’s difficult to predict human
behavior and state guidelines, so this question
will be answered in
the next Revise This!

•

Master Classes Launched
Officially the master classes (a post-graduate revision semester
available to alumni
of any Creative Writing MA or MFA program)
will begin in the fall, but we already
have three students enrolled in
the current term: Sara Pisak (working with Kevin Oderman),
Joseph Bryan (working with Jean Klein), and a non-Wilkes alum
working with Lenore
Hart. Be sure to share the link
wilkes.edu/masterclass and spread the word!

�• Superstar Alumni
As we did in January, we will continue to feature our successful
alumni at all future
residencies--one panel to discuss their careers,
another to feature their publications
or productions. If you would
like to nominate yourself or your favorite alumni for
one of these
panels, please send David or Patti (at cwriting@wilkes.edu) their
names and current contact info (if you have it), and we'll keep a
running
list of invitees for each group.   

• Scholarship Winners
The following students were awarded scholarships at our winter
residency. Congratulations
to our winners!
The Beverly Hiscox Scholarship  $3,000 - Joshua Holycross
The Bergman Family Foundation Award $5,000 - Cody
Marsh and Jutonya Myers ($2,500 each)
The Faculty and Alumni Scholarship $1,500 - Amanda
Gipson

• From MA to MFA?
Current students about to complete their MA thesis semester and
who are interested
in continuing to the MFA should attend a Q&amp;A
with the Director in April (date/time
TBA), then submit a “Letter of
Intent” to the Director by June 1.

Spoken Word, An Oral Tradition
Finds a New Home at Wilkes 
Our recent creative writing zoom-residency at Wilkes came with change
—a new director,
a refined zoom schedule, new faculty members, and a
pleasant surprise. A new track,
Spoken Word, made its debut with a
standing ovation. Bravo! But what to make of this
curious form that’s
poetic, dramatic, spellbinding, and refreshing all at once. Curiosity
has
been piqued, especially among the non-poetic members of our tribe.
Phil Brady, esteemed colleague, profound mentor, Professor of English,
co-founder
of Etruscan Press, lover of words—guide us in our quest for
knowledge of the Spoken
Word. 

Q: What is the history of Spoken Word?
Phil: The oral tradition is the prime source of poetry. Spoken Word poetry
has a long and
deep history preceding literary poetry. Today, we are
experiencing a rejuvenation
of a genre as old as human culture. As far as
we know, there has never been a culture
without Spoken Word poetry.

Q: What is the diference between poetry and
Spoken Word?
Phil: What’s the difference between literary poetry and Spoken Word

�poetry, you mean. This is a huge area of interest and discovery.
Etruscan
will be producing a book, Sign &amp; Breath in 2023 which will feature poets
of all stripes addressing that question. 

Q: What sent Wilkes down the path of adding
Spoken Word to the curriculum?
Phil: We’ve had quite a number of students with Spoken Word chops
who came here to do work
in other genres. You heard some of them at
the residency reading. Here’s what alum
Jeremiah Blue has to say. “I
think there is precedent within our program for running
different tracks of
similar writing genres, i.e. our documentary film, screenwriting,
and
playwriting tracks. [We] also have a precedent for unique, forwardthinking offerings,
i.e. publishing.
“I think spoken word is re-establishing its place in the literary world.  We
all know
the oral tradition has been around since the beginning, and what
we are experiencing
now is a reiteration of that long-standing tradition.” 

Q: How do you see Spoken Word being
integrated into the program? Will SW be a
part of

poetry or a completely diferent track
at Wilkes? 
Phil: For the present, I would see Spoken Word as starting with 512 and
514. Students would
take Poetry Foundations and then choose a Spoken
Word mentor.

Q: What would a grad student at Wilkes
expect to get from taking Spoken Word as a as
their MA project? This is unchartered
territory for Wilkes, right? Can you elaborate
on this?
Phil: This is uncharted territory for any MFA program. One of Wilkes’s
signatures is inclusivity
and genre-expanding. Students who chose the
Spoken Word track could expect deep immersion
in the SW world guided
by working Spoken Word poets; they could expect a historical
perspective that threads from Slam to Homer; they could expect an active
platform
to perfect their art; they could expect full validation of their art in
the academic
environment. 

Q: What types of examples/success stories are
there in the world within the Spoken Word
genre? Of late, there’s been a plethora of
Spoken Word on display within mainstream
America, such as SW poet Brandon Leake
winning America’s Got Talent, and twenty-

�two-year-old

Amanda Gorman, who so
eloquently shared her words during the
inauguration and the

Super Bowl.
Phil: Wilkes has a lot of success stories from Spoken Word poets. Jason
Carney, a Wilkes
alum and poet, writer, and educator from Dallas, is a
four-time National Poetry Slam
finalist and was honored as a Legend of
the Slam in 2007. He appeared on three seasons
of the HBO television
series Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry. Carney has performed and
lectured at many colleges and universities as well as high
schools and
juvenile detention centers from California to Maine. Starve the Vulture:
One Man’s Mythology is his memoir.
Laura E. J. Moran, is a poet, performer, playwright, and educator. She
received her
MFA in Poetry at Wilkes University in 2012. She has
presented her work all over the
United States and in Romania, Ireland,
Italy, Canada, and Mexico. In 2019, she was
selected as one of 20
international arts educators to attend the Lincoln Center Arts
Education
Leadership Lab in NYC. She is happy to return to Western Sullivan
Public
Library, her home library Callicoon, NY, as its new Branch
Manager. 
Jeremiah Blue, also a Wilkes alum, won the 2016 Southwest Regional
Championship and
the 2015 Arizona Slam Poetry Championship. Blue
has been the Phoenix Poetry Slam Champion
three times, representing
the city at two National Poetry Slams and the Individual
World Poetry
Slam. His non-fiction won the 2016 Etruscan Prize, and his poems have
been published by TEDx and Button Poetry, amongst others.
Our of our new faculty members is Remica Bingham-Risher, a Cave
Canem fellow and Affrilachian Poet. Among other journals, her work has
been
published in The New York Times, The Writer’s
Chronicle, Callaloo and Essence. She is the author of Conversion (Lotus,
2006) winner of the Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award, What We Ask of
Flesh (Etruscan, 2013) shortlisted for the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award
and Starlight &amp; Error (Diode, 2017) winner of the Diode Editions Book
Award and a finalist for the Library
of Virginia Book Award. She resides in
Norfolk, VA with her husband and children.
Additionally, Etruscan is publishing a book by Spoken Word poet
Angelique Palmer.
The book was chosen and curated by Wilkes Faculty
member Dr. Laurie Carter. You heard
Angelique perform at the
residency. We hope that she will contribute much more to
the Wilkes
community and the Spoken Word track. 

Q: What else would you like to share about
the newest addition of Spoken Word as a

�track

at Wilkes?
Phil: I see this a natural extension of Wilkes’ mission to nurture a
dialogue among genres
and cultures. The Wilkes CW Program has a
history of inclusivity and experimentation.
We have a rich film program;
we feature drama and publishing; and our approaches to
fiction embrace
YA, Romance, Horror, and Fantasy, as well as Literary Fiction and
NonFiction. Breadth of scope, generosity of spirit, and cross-fertilization of the
academic and commercial worlds are hallmarks of the program’s
success. 

New Faces, New Faculty!
With open arms, we welcome Remica Bingham-Risher, Lisa Jones,
Robin McCrary, Nicole
Pandolfo, Dania Ramos and Nisha Sharma. Read
on to learn more about our recent additions

Behind the Scenes
During residency many of you may have noticed encouraging emails
from our organizer,
assistant extraordinaire and new addition to the staff
of the Maslow Family Graduate
Program in Creative Writing. What you
may not know is that Patricia (Patti) Naumann
is not new to Wilkes, nor to
the CW program, nor to the area. Patricia has lived in
the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area most of her life. She is a three-time graduate

�of Wilkes,
including a Master of Arts in Creative Writing. Patricia has
been an employee of Wilkes
since 2013 in various roles, ranging from
graduate assistant, admin to the provost,
and now, administrative
assistant in Creative Writing. “I like to say that I am a
floater in the soda
of life,” Patti says. “In my capacity of admin, I hope to help
make your
experience at Wilkes a memorable one.” As our director, David Hicks,
puts
it, “Patti has already proven to be a superb administrator in every
way: efficient,
intelligent and generous with her time. She is more friend
than colleague - in fact,
we’re starting to finish each other’s sentences. I
appreciate her help, kindness,
patience, and sense of humor more than
she knows.” 
Welcome to your new role at Wilkes, Patti! And thank you for your
continued encouragement.

Gaming &amp; Scripting Combined, A
Powerful Future
If you attended the alumni session during our January 2021 residency,
you were introduced
to Wilkes Creative Writing alum Linda Nguyen. Her
career sharing about gaming and
scripting sparked many sidebar
conversations about an industry that hasn’t even landed
on the radar for
most of the student body in the Wilkes CW program. 
Attracted to Linda’s enthusiasm and what felt like an odd pairing of
industries, I
had to know more. Join me in my quest for knowledge as
Linda and I discuss her experience.
Roni: Your website suggests your links to game writing date back to
2011. Tell us about that ah-ha moment
when you decided to make that
your career?
Linda: Yeah, I took a summer job as a video game tester back then. I
won’t go into too
much detail about game testing, but when I spotted a
text issue or narrative inconsistency
in games, I’d enter a bug report—a
quality control entry—in this project-wide database.
This bug would later
get fixed by a Game Writer. 
I wondered if I could write for games too, but I didn’t put much thought
into it yet.
I didn’t know if I had what it takes. 
Then in January 2012, I joined the Wilkes Creative Writing Program. At
that point,
I was still aiming to write a novel or a screenplay. Fast forward
to present day and
I’m that game writer who fixes text bugs while juggling
other tasks, like writing
voice-overs.
Thinking back, I decided to commit to a path in the games industry after I

�graduated
in 2014, not before. Luckily, it led me to game writing and it
worked out for me.
Roni:  What were some of your initial learnings as you began game
writing?
Linda: I learned to write for different voices, different characters, different
styles…
and I learned to write for different in-game purposes. For
example, in an open-world
shooter, a taunt from the enemy needs to be
concise, even forgettable, while sending
the right gameplay feedback to
the player. Compared to a cinematic, that should be
memorable. I
learned to be a versatile writer.
Oh… and I quickly learned to not wait for inspiration to hit me. I can’t
afford to
wait; I’m on a deadline and other gamedevs are waiting after me
to work on their bit.
At the same time, I produce some of my best work
this way, and I still have a team
that supports me. I enjoy the
collaboration, and brainstorms are way more fun in a
team setting
anyway. 
I also learned about production pipelines and the many different roles in
game development
to ship a title. 
Roni: And one such role is that of the game tester, as you mentioned
earlier. Can you
elaborate on how you broke into scriptwriting?
Linda: Right, so I got my foot in the door as a game tester. On the side, I
worked on my
game-writing portfolio. I joined the Pixelles Game Writing
Group in Montreal. Roughly
every other Sunday, I met up with this
fantastic group of creative women and non-binary
individuals, and we
helped each other to craft writing samples. 
Meanwhile at work, I became the legal coordinator for the narrative team
on Watch
Dogs 2 at Ubisoft. At some point, the studio was looking for a
scriptwriter to join
the ranks on Far Cry 5. I did the writing test, the lead
writer and a manager asked
to meet me, and I got my start as a
Scriptwriter.
Roni: Tell us about your gaming experience. How has that helped you in
your career?
Linda: I’d say my gaming experience is pretty varied, similar to how
eclectic my reading
preferences are. And yet, there’s nothing like a good
role-playing game to remind
me what interactive storytelling should be, or
should strive to be. Games like Mass
Effect and Deus Ex: Human
Revolution, they've stayed with me because of the stories
they allowed
me to experience and the dialogue choices they offered. I get to choose

�who I romance in this game? That’s amazing! Or… I get to choose body
augments that best fit my playstyle? Sweet...  
All these games provide an escape for many people, and words need to
do so many things
to help with that. The storytelling needs to mesh with
the gameplay, the writing needs
to support the creative direction, the
scripts need to help actors breathe life into
the characters… In short, I
play video games for research and I’ve been using that
excuse for years.
Dabbling in different game genres is helpful too because each genre
presents unique challenges for writers.
If it’s important to read widely, then it’s also valuable to play different
kinds
of games in my profession, but this means I have a backlog of
books AND games…
Roni: What other aspirations do you have for your writing?
Linda: Hmm… I feel I’m in a good spot to drive change in the games
industry, even if it’s
in small ways. Little by little, it adds up, and I hope
my writing will have an even
bigger impact.
When I was a kid, I convinced my dad that the Game Boy wasn’t just for
boys. I don’t
blame my dad though, and I’m not here to judge Nintendo’s
marketing…
Now as an adult, I’m somehow still trying to convince a part of the world
that video
games and the games industry are for everyone, but at least I
know I’m not alone to
do so. 
Not long ago, I worked on Rainbow Six Siege. Last I checked, this FPS
(first-person
shooter) has reached over 70 million players. That’s
astounding… I may have only written
three characters in the game, but
that’s a lot of people who have seen or heard my
writing. If I can promote
diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility at the same time,
that’s even
better. 
Roni: Having graduated in 2014 and building your dream career, what
piece of advice or
encouragement can you offer cohorts who are now
rolling through the program, and other
graduates who may be searching
for their writing chops?
Linda: It’s cliché, but it’s really about the journey, not the destination. As
writers,
we’re crazy enough to practice “a craft where no one ever
becomes a master,” and yet,
writing is our calling.  
Back in 2011 when I was starting out as a game tester, I didn’t know if I

�had what
it takes to be a writer. It turns out I always did; I just needed
some guidance and
I found that with the community in the creative writing
program. I found that with
my cohort and I definitely found that with my
mentors, even though my path ended up
being different than I imagined
at the time. Trust the path you’re on. Create your
own path if you have to,
and if it leads you astray, that’s no different to writing
another draft. You’ll
still get there.
Roni: Is there anything else you’d like to share with our writing tribe?
Linda: Let your words flow (and edit later). Best of luck with your journey!

Onward and Upward Refections from Bill Schneider
(M.F.A.’14)
Thursday, June 4, 2020
More than 1.8 million cases and over 101,000 deaths related to COVID19 in the United
States were reported today by the CDC.
Today is my first day of retirement
following my seven-year affiliation with
Wilkes
University where I served as a
graduate assistant in Marketing
Communications, Managing
Editor for
Etruscan Press and Associate Program
Director for the Creative Writing
Program.
I had hoped today would be the start of a
new life chapter: traveling all around the
world while I savor the cocktail
hour of my life journey, similar to The Life of Riley. Boy was I wrong!

�Since being quarantined on March 17th, I got a head start on being
home
full-time as life dramatically changed. Program alum and Wilkes
University’s
Executive Director of Communications and Graduate
Marketing — Gabrielle D’Amico M.F.A.’17 — said it best of all in a recent
email: “I'm sorry your final weeks at Wilkes feel
like the Twilight Zone.”
Earlier this year, I accepted an offer to be a consultant with my former
employer
from the 1970s. This new opportunity is based in Chicago, the
headquarters and a major
gateway for United Airlines, where I will have
access and resources to produce video
segments about airline
employees and retirees and their travel experiences. With nearly
100,000
employees on the United team, storytelling is integral to the culture of this
legacy airline. The stories I will share through the company’s intranet
portal have
a common theme: heartache and hope. My commitment is to
bring light to the United
community, especially because too much
darkness clouds the horizon.

Preparing for the transition
Working with co-founder and program director Bonnie Culver since
January, when I announced
my retirement, we focused on developing a
handbook to provide the new program director
with a road map for the
day-to-day activities to support the Maslow Family Creative
Writing
Graduate Program. To provide some context, Bonnie and I were retiring
at the
same time as Joyce Anzalone who oversees administration of our
program. Ross Klavan
says, “Between Bonnie, Bill and Joyce, the entire
knowledge of how the program works
is in their hands … each of them
connecting/networking, and talking the faculty in
and out of corners.” 
By mid-March, our focus shifted. We began to prepare for the June
residency to be
delivered entirely online. This tireless effort required all
hands-on-deck while each
day brought more grim news about the
pandemic. 

Preparing for a virtual residency
Bonnie immediately reached out to the entire faculty to begin
discussions, brainstorm,
and conceptualize online residency modules.
The transition from face-to-face teaching
to a virtual Zoom platform
provided Bonnie and the faculty with the perfect opportunity
for the
program to re-emerge as the first-class program it is. This seamless
transition
evolved because of one component: the sense of community
that permeates throughout
the Wilkes Creative Writing Program. I think of
this as harmony and grace, the ingredient
that first attracted me to the
Wilkes program in 2011.
A major challenge in rolling out the June residency as a virtual
experience was how
to replicate that special ingredient that creates

�community. As I prepared to retire
from Wilkes, the world began to
change as the pandemic closed international borders.
Throughout the
country, cities and states continued to escalate self-quarantine
mandates.
The entire world was on lock-down. 
As Memorial Day arrived, the June residency was about to begin. The
community of writers
that comes together twice a year to share work and
renew friendship continues to be
the fabric of a tapestry woven from the
spirit of our remarkable faculty.

Friday, June 5, 2020
The stay-at-home order was lifted today for Pennsylvania residents in
Luzerne County.
This release from home confinement was conditional
because I still do not have the
freedom to travel anywhere in the world.
There is no longer a welcome mat for Americans
in many other countries,
and most domestic travel requires a 14-day quarantine upon
arrival.
Flying for a weekend getaway is something from the past. Fortunately, I
am
a writer and an editor, both of which require solitary confinement.
Instead of packing for my move to the Windy City, today is the day my
movers notified
me they will not travel to Illinois because of the high
number of COVID-19 cases.

Tuesday, September 1, 2020
More than six million cases and over 183,000 deaths related to COVID19 in the United
States were reported today by the CDC.
It has been 13 weeks since my retirement began. Every day it has been
buns on the
bench. I have focused on my writing and the never-ending
connection to the Wilkes
Creative Writing community. This is the
connective tissue that keeps me grounded,
hopeful, and confident. As
coffee percolates, or later in the day, a martini shakes,
I recall the advice
offered by my Wilkes mentors.
One of the most resonate suggestions came from Dr. Nancy McKinley
during my first
CW-501 workshop. The writing prompt, about the beauty
of Wilkes-Barre in the middle
of winter, forced me to look beyond the
potholes. Writing is about doing the best you can and making the most
with what you have. 
What is certain about tomorrow is that it will be a better day than today.
Bill Schneider (MFA’14) is the managing editor of Etruscan Press. He
served as the associate program director
of the Wilkes University Maslow
Family Graduate Creative Writing Program from 2015
through 2020. His

�previous experience includes a three-decade long career in the music
industry accompanied by extensive travel throughout six continents.

Interview with Vicki Mayk
(M.F.A. ’13)
For any bibliophiles that get the
opportunity to sit down with their favorite
authors
for a Q&amp;A, one of the questions
that is bound to come up is something
along the lines
of “Where do you get your
inspiration, your ideas?” While this might
be a fascination
topic to dig into, what I
find more fascinating is learning, as a
writer, how the
story chooses you.
I recently had the opportunity to work with Vicki Mayk on her Write Life
post, “When the Story Chooses You.” We were discussing her writing
experiences as
a student at Wilkes and her pathway to publishing
Growing up on the Gridiron: Football, Friendship, and the Tragic Life of
Owen Thomas, published and released by Beacon Press in September.
Our phone conversation stretched
from one hour to two and her story
about learning how to tell someone else’s true
story emerged, along with
several challenges unique to the nonfiction genre.
I invite you to sit in on part of our conversation about the art of research
and the
craft of creative nonfiction.

Who or what drew you in to the
Maslow Family Graduate Program in
Creative Writing?
I had always wanted to earn an MFA in writing. I actually had entered a
program at
the University of Pittsburgh back in the 1970s (yes, I’m that
old), but that was before
there were low-residency programs. Unable to
go to school and work full-time, I put
the dream on hold after one
semester. Fast forward to 2009: When I was hired by Wilkes
University, I
realized that I could finally earn the master’s degree I had always
wanted.
I had worked as a writer for my entire career – but the program changed
my
life, opening up new ways to tell a story.

You have some exciting news...a
recently published on book! Can you

�tell us a little

bit about that project?
What is this book about?
Growing Up On The Gridiron: Football,
Friendship and the Tragic Life of Owen

RDlIU IJP
D~I

Thomas is about University of
Pennsylvania football player Owen
Thomas who died by suicide
in 2010.
After his death, he was found to be the
youngest amateur player at that time
found to have the traumatic brain injury
CTE – which was being found in former
pro
players and was linked to playing
football. The book is about his short but
remarkable
life and about young men’s

FOOTBALL,

VICKI

LIFE

MAYK

love affair with the game for football. 

What was it about this story that
sunk its hooks into you and drew
you into this commitment to another
long

form project?
This was a case of “the story chose me.”  What really drew me in was
Owen Thomas,
the young man who is at the center of my book. When he
died by suicide in April 2010,
I was invited to join a private memorial page
that friends set up for him on Facebook.
The way that everyone talked
about him – from his teammates at his high school near
Allentown, PA,
and on the University of Pennsylvania Quakers team to friends, former
teachers, casual acquaintances – haunted me. They told stories about
him being a warrior
on the field and one of the kindest humans off the
field. One girl in his high school
said Owen changed the energy when he
entered a room. I wanted to answer the question:
Who was Owen
Thomas and how did his life come to this tragic end? When it emerged
that he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, what we know as CTE,
that added another
important dimension to the story. 

The path to publication is unique for
every author. Can you tell us a little
about

your path to publication? What
kinds of challenges did you fnd
your way around with

this project?
Because I had a full-time day job, the interviewing and research for this
book had
to be done at night and on weekends. What I had originally
envisioned as a two- to
three-year project actually took nearly eight years

�from the time I started interviews
and research to a finished draft. (And
we all know that there is always more revision
ahead.) I was dragging my
heels, so I took an independent study with Mike Lennon and
was able to
complete a draft. He urged me to submit to agents and I was signed by
one in 2018. But I was far from done. Everyone who had seen the
manuscript – me, Mike
and my agent– envisioned a significant revision. I
worked with my agent to create
a book proposal that outlined a slightly
different direction for the book. The book
was actually sold on the basis
of that proposal – not on the manuscript. When I began
working with my
editor at Beacon Press, Joanna Green, she and I had a similar vision
for
the book. It involved developing the stories of Owen’s friends and
required me
to do some additional research and interviews. Yes, more
research after nearly eight
years of working on the book.  I completely
revised the existing manuscript in about
six months in 2019.

What did you learn about yourself as
a writer through the many stages of
creation,

revision, and release? 
I learned that it was a good thing that I had a long career making my
living as a
writer who was required to meet deadlines. (I’m laughing as I
answer this.) All joking
aside, I now see that all those years of writing on
deadline have made me a slave
to deadlines. If I have a deadline, I will
meet it. That is why I finally took an
independent study to finish the book.
The deadline forced me to do it. I was able
to revise it in six months
because my editor was holding me to specific deadlines.
Even after all
these years as a writer, I’m trying to figure out how to create a structure
that puts me in the deadline mindset – even when there’s no “real”
deadline. I guess
that’s a challenge we all face

About craft?
The biggest takeaway about craft was that we always have something to
learn. I had
been a journalist for years before entering the program, but in
writing this book,
I realized that I was able to write it because of what I
learned studying creative
nonfiction in the program. Day-to-day
journalism can fall into a “just the facts”
approach. The craft elements that
I learned at Wilkes – to use the techniques of fiction
to tell a true story -allowed me to do things in the book I might not have attempted
earlier in
my career. It includes things like recreating scenes and dialogue. 

If you could offer a few words of
wisdom or a piece of advice that has
served you

well through the rough
parts of the writing process, what
would you most like to gift

to other

�writers hitting those rough patches?
Don’t doubt yourself: it’s really easy to fall prey to impostor syndrome.
You’ll hear
your inner critic asking, “Who do you think you are to write this
book?” While working
on my book, I came across a quote from LinManuel Miranda, who wrote “Hamilton.” He
said, “You have to live with
the notion of, ‘If I don’t write this, no one’s going
to write it. If I die, this
idea dies with me.’” Remember that you have a story that
only you can
tell.

How have the members of our
Wilkes community supported you as
a writer? Is there anyone

you would
like to give a shout-out to? Perhaps
a few key people?
I received so much encouragement from so many people in our creative
writing community.
If you read the  ments in my book, I call Mike Lennon
my “literary godfather.” I think
there were times I kept going because I
couldn’t stand the idea of disappointing Mike.
I also received sound
advice from Bev Donofrio, Kevin Oderman, Kaylie Jones and Jeff
Talarigo. Dawn D’Aries Zera was the person who first told Mike about my
book and she
insisted I talk to him about it. And my writing group was an
important source of support.
They are all Wilkes alums from many
different cohorts: Aurora Bonner, Kelly Clisham,
Jennifer Jenkins and
Francisco Tutella. The book title came out of a brainstorming
session
with them.

Wilkes and the Afterlife
By Jen McLaughlin
A lot of people (or, at least, I’m assuming a lot of people) think that once
you leave the Wilkes University Maslow Family Graduate
Program…it’s
game over. You never speak to your faculty again, never see your cohort,
forget all your friends, and cry into an endless eternity of deadlines and
graded
papers. I’m here to tell you…
YOU’RE WRONG! That’s right, I said it. You’re wrong. 
Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “Who is this Jen girl anyway?
Who is she to
tell me what I know and what I don’t know?” Well, I’m you.
Or, I was you, depending on where you are in the program. Whether you
are entering
it now, considering entering it, in it, or recently graduated,
I’m here to tell you
that what you’re getting from the program isn’t just
some fancy letters or some sharpened
writing tools…though those are

�pretty amazing, too.
What you’re getting is a community. Friends. A family.
You see, my cohort (arguably the best cohort EVER…just ask anyone on
the faculty—especially
Nancy McKinley) graduated with our M.A. in
September 2019, and those of us who went
on to earn our MFA will
graduate this September (in 2020, the cursed year that will
forever live on
in infamy). Though some of my cohort has been done for over a year,
guess what? We are still friends. We still write together. Not even a
pandemic stopped
us. Let that sink in for a minute. I’ll wait. While the
world was begging for us to
stop writing, to lose our creativity because
who the heck could create anything among
chaos and pain and fear…we
did it. We created, we supported one another, and we didn’t
give up. 
Because we’re family.
Sure, we did it via Zoom once a week (something we will be continuing
once we all
return to the classrooms to teach and learn), and sure, we
talked about a lot more
than just our work, but you know what? It kept me
going, kept me thinking, and most
importantly? My cohort/friends/family
kept me writing. The writing life is so valuable
to us as writers and artists,
and when you lose that, you lose a piece of yourself.
Well, fear not.
When you enter this program, and when you leave it, you will maintain
a
strong bond to those who went through those residencies with you, who
poured over
your words as if they were your own, and who cheered you
on as you read your work
out loud for a room full of people…and so will
the faculty. 
My mentor, the amazing and indestructible Nancy McKinley, never
stopped having my
back, or offering me opportunities, and quite frankly, I
truly hope my time in the
program, though officially finished, never ends.
Rather, I hope it expands in many
other ways, and that I can take the
knowledge this program and my forty-nine published
books have given
me, and I can continue to build that community, friendships, and
family
the program gave me. My only remaining question to you, if you’re not
with
us yet, is…
What’s holding you back, besides perhaps yourself?

Onward and Upward Refections from Bill Schneider
(M.F.A.’14)
Thursday, June 4, 2020
More than 1.8 million cases and over 101,000 deaths related to COVID19 in the United
States were reported today by the CDC.
Today is my first day of retirement
following my seven-year affiliation with
Wilkes
University where I served as a
graduate assistant in Marketing
Communications, Managing
Editor for
Etruscan Press and Associate Program
Director for the Creative Writing
Program.
I had hoped today would be the start of a
new life chapter: traveling all around the
world while I savor the cocktail
hour of my life journey, similar to The Life of Riley. Boy was I wrong!

�Since being quarantined on March 17th, I got a head start on being
home
full-time as life dramatically changed. Program alum and Wilkes
University’s
Executive Director of Communications and Graduate
Marketing — Gabrielle D’Amico M.F.A.’17 — said it best of all in a recent
email: “I'm sorry your final weeks at Wilkes feel
like the Twilight Zone.”
Earlier this year, I accepted an offer to be a consultant with my former
employer
from the 1970s. This new opportunity is based in Chicago, the
headquarters and a major
gateway for United Airlines, where I will have
access and resources to produce video
segments about airline
employees and retirees and their travel experiences. With nearly
100,000
employees on the United team, storytelling is integral to the culture of this
legacy airline. The stories I will share through the company’s intranet
portal have
a common theme: heartache and hope. My commitment is to
bring light to the United
community, especially because too much
darkness clouds the horizon.

Preparing for the transition
Working with co-founder and program director Bonnie Culver since
January, when I announced
my retirement, we focused on developing a
handbook to provide the new program director
with a road map for the
day-to-day activities to support the Maslow Family Creative
Writing
Graduate Program. To provide some context, Bonnie and I were retiring
at the
same time as Joyce Anzalone who oversees administration of our
program. Ross Klavan
says, “Between Bonnie, Bill and Joyce, the entire
knowledge of how the program works
is in their hands … each of them
connecting/networking, and talking the faculty in
and out of corners.” 
By mid-March, our focus shifted. We began to prepare for the June
residency to be
delivered entirely online. This tireless effort required all
hands-on-deck while each
day brought more grim news about the
pandemic. 

Preparing for a virtual residency
Bonnie immediately reached out to the entire faculty to begin
discussions, brainstorm,
and conceptualize online residency modules.
The transition from face-to-face teaching
to a virtual Zoom platform
provided Bonnie and the faculty with the perfect opportunity
for the
program to re-emerge as the first-class program it is. This seamless
transition
evolved because of one component: the sense of community
that permeates throughout
the Wilkes Creative Writing Program. I think of
this as harmony and grace, the ingredient
that first attracted me to the
Wilkes program in 2011.
A major challenge in rolling out the June residency as a virtual
experience was how
to replicate that special ingredient that creates

�community. As I prepared to retire
from Wilkes, the world began to
change as the pandemic closed international borders.
Throughout the
country, cities and states continued to escalate self-quarantine
mandates.
The entire world was on lock-down. 
As Memorial Day arrived, the June residency was about to begin. The
community of writers
that comes together twice a year to share work and
renew friendship continues to be
the fabric of a tapestry woven from the
spirit of our remarkable faculty.

The stay-at-home order was lifted today for Pennsylvania residents in
Luzerne County.
This release from home confinement was conditional
because I still do not have the
freedom to travel anywhere in the world.
There is no longer a welcome mat for Americans
in many other countries,
and most domestic travel requires a 14-day quarantine upon
arrival.
Flying for a weekend getaway is something from the past. Fortunately, I
am
a writer and an editor, both of which require solitary confinement.
Instead of packing for my move to the Windy City, today is the day my
movers notified
me they will not travel to Illinois because of the high
number of COVID-19 cases.

Tuesday, September 1, 2020
More than six million cases and over 183,000 deaths related to COVID19 in the United
States were reported today by the CDC.
It has been 13 weeks since my retirement began. Every day it has been
buns on the
bench. I have focused on my writing and the never-ending
connection to the Wilkes
Creative Writing community. This is the
connective tissue that keeps me grounded,
hopeful, and confident. As
coffee percolates, or later in the day, a martini shakes,
I recall the advice
offered by my Wilkes mentors.
One of the most resonate suggestions came from Dr. Nancy McKinley
during my first
CW-501 workshop. The writing prompt, about the beauty
of Wilkes-Barre in the middle
of winter, forced me to look beyond the
potholes. Writing is about doing the best you can and making the most
with what you have. 
What is certain about tomorrow is that it will be a better day than today.
Bill Schneider (MFA’14) is the managing editor of Etruscan Press. He
served as the associate program director
of the Wilkes University Maslow
Family Graduate Creative Writing Program from 2015
through 2020. His

�previous experience includes a three-decade long career in the music
industry accompanied by extensive travel throughout six continents.

Interview with Vicki Mayk
(M.F.A. ’13)
For any bibliophiles that get the
opportunity to sit down with their favorite
authors
for a Q&amp;A, one of the questions
that is bound to come up is something
along the lines
of “Where do you get your
inspiration, your ideas?” While this might
be a fascination
topic to dig into, what I
find more fascinating is learning, as a
writer, how the
story chooses you.
I recently had the opportunity to work with Vicki Mayk on her Write Life
post, “When the Story Chooses You.” We were discussing her writing
experiences as
a student at Wilkes and her pathway to publishing
Growing up on the Gridiron: Football, Friendship, and the Tragic Life of
Owen Thomas, published and released by Beacon Press in September.
Our phone conversation stretched
from one hour to two and her story
about learning how to tell someone else’s true
story emerged, along with
several challenges unique to the nonfiction genre.
I invite you to sit in on part of our conversation about the art of research
and the
craft of creative nonfiction.

Who or what drew you in to the
Maslow Family Graduate Program in
Creative Writing?
I had always wanted to earn an MFA in writing. I actually had entered a
program at
the University of Pittsburgh back in the 1970s (yes, I’m that
old), but that was before
there were low-residency programs. Unable to
go to school and work full-time, I put
the dream on hold after one
semester. Fast forward to 2009: When I was hired by Wilkes
University, I
realized that I could finally earn the master’s degree I had always
wanted.
I had worked as a writer for my entire career – but the program changed
my
life, opening up new ways to tell a story.

You have some exciting news...a
recently published on book! Can you

�tell us a little

bit about that project?
What is this book about?
Growing Up On The Gridiron: Football,
Friendship and the Tragic Life of Owen
Thomas is about University of
Pennsylvania football player Owen
Thomas who died by suicide
in 2010.
After his death, he was found to be the
youngest amateur player at that time
found to have the traumatic brain injury
CTE – which was being found in former
pro
players and was linked to playing
football. The book is about his short but
remarkable
life and about young men’s

FOOTBALL,
ANO

TIIE

FRIENOSI-IIP
TRAGIC

OWEN

VICKI

LIFE

OF

THOMAS

MAYK

love affair with the game for football. 

What was it about this story that
sunk its hooks into you and drew
you into this commitment to another
long

form project?
This was a case of “the story chose me.”  What really drew me in was
Owen Thomas,
the young man who is at the center of my book. When he
died by suicide in April 2010,
I was invited to join a private memorial page
that friends set up for him on Facebook.
The way that everyone talked
about him – from his teammates at his high school near
Allentown, PA,
and on the University of Pennsylvania Quakers team to friends, former
teachers, casual acquaintances – haunted me. They told stories about
him being a warrior
on the field and one of the kindest humans off the
field. One girl in his high school
said Owen changed the energy when he
entered a room. I wanted to answer the question:
Who was Owen
Thomas and how did his life come to this tragic end? When it emerged
that he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, what we know as CTE,
that added another
important dimension to the story. 

The path to publication is unique for
every author. Can you tell us a little
about

your path to publication? What
kinds of challenges did you fnd
your way around with

this project?
Because I had a full-time day job, the interviewing and research for this
book had
to be done at night and on weekends. What I had originally
envisioned as a two- to
three-year project actually took nearly eight years

�from the time I started interviews
and research to a finished draft. (And
we all know that there is always more revision
ahead.) I was dragging my
heels, so I took an independent study with Mike Lennon and
was able to
complete a draft. He urged me to submit to agents and I was signed by
one in 2018. But I was far from done. Everyone who had seen the
manuscript – me, Mike
and my agent– envisioned a significant revision. I
worked with my agent to create
a book proposal that outlined a slightly
different direction for the book. The book
was actually sold on the basis
of that proposal – not on the manuscript. When I began
working with my
editor at Beacon Press, Joanna Green, she and I had a similar vision
for
the book. It involved developing the stories of Owen’s friends and
required me
to do some additional research and interviews. Yes, more
research after nearly eight
years of working on the book.  I completely
revised the existing manuscript in about
six months in 2019.

What did you learn about yourself as
a writer through the many stages of
creation,

revision, and release? 
I learned that it was a good thing that I had a long career making my
living as a
writer who was required to meet deadlines. (I’m laughing as I
answer this.) All joking
aside, I now see that all those years of writing on
deadline have made me a slave
to deadlines. If I have a deadline, I will
meet it. That is why I finally took an
independent study to finish the book.
The deadline forced me to do it. I was able
to revise it in six months
because my editor was holding me to specific deadlines.
Even after all
these years as a writer, I’m trying to figure out how to create a structure
that puts me in the deadline mindset – even when there’s no “real”
deadline. I guess
that’s a challenge we all face

About craft?
The biggest takeaway about craft was that we always have something to
learn. I had
been a journalist for years before entering the program, but in
writing this book,
I realized that I was able to write it because of what I
learned studying creative
nonfiction in the program. Day-to-day
journalism can fall into a “just the facts”
approach. The craft elements that
I learned at Wilkes – to use the techniques of fiction
to tell a true story -allowed me to do things in the book I might not have attempted
earlier in
my career. It includes things like recreating scenes and dialogue. 

If you could offer a few words of
wisdom or a piece of advice that has
served you

well through the rough
parts of the writing process, what
would you most like to gift

to other

�writers hitting those rough patches?
Don’t doubt yourself: it’s really easy to fall prey to impostor syndrome.
You’ll hear
your inner critic asking, “Who do you think you are to write this
book?” While working
on my book, I came across a quote from LinManuel Miranda, who wrote “Hamilton.” He
said, “You have to live with
the notion of, ‘If I don’t write this, no one’s going
to write it. If I die, this
idea dies with me.’” Remember that you have a story that
only you can
tell.

How have the members of our
Wilkes community supported you as
a writer? Is there anyone

you would
like to give a shout-out to? Perhaps
a few key people?
I received so much encouragement from so many people in our creative
writing community.
If you read the  ments in my book, I call Mike Lennon
my “literary godfather.” I think
there were times I kept going because I
couldn’t stand the idea of disappointing Mike.
I also received sound
advice from Bev Donofrio, Kevin Oderman, Kaylie Jones and Jeff
Talarigo. Dawn D’Aries Zera was the person who first told Mike about my
book and she
insisted I talk to him about it. And my writing group was an
important source of support.
They are all Wilkes alums from many
different cohorts: Aurora Bonner, Kelly Clisham,
Jennifer Jenkins and
Francisco Tutella. The book title came out of a brainstorming
session
with them.

Wilkes and the Afterlife
By Jen McLaughlin
A lot of people (or, at least, I’m assuming a lot of people) think that once
you leave the Wilkes University Maslow Family Graduate
Program…it’s
game over. You never speak to your faculty again, never see your cohort,
forget all your friends, and cry into an endless eternity of deadlines and
graded
papers. I’m here to tell you…
YOU’RE WRONG! That’s right, I said it. You’re wrong. 
Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “Who is this Jen girl anyway?
Who is she to
tell me what I know and what I don’t know?” Well, I’m you.
Or, I was you, depending on where you are in the program. Whether you
are entering
it now, considering entering it, in it, or recently graduated,
I’m here to tell you
that what you’re getting from the program isn’t just
some fancy letters or some sharpened
writing tools…though those are

�pretty amazing, too.
What you’re getting is a community. Friends. A family.
You see, my cohort (arguably the best cohort EVER…just ask anyone on
the faculty—especially
Nancy McKinley) graduated with our M.A. in
September 2019, and those of us who went
on to earn our MFA will
graduate this September (in 2020, the cursed year that will
forever live on
in infamy). Though some of my cohort has been done for over a year,
guess what? We are still friends. We still write together. Not even a
pandemic stopped
us. Let that sink in for a minute. I’ll wait. While the
world was begging for us to
stop writing, to lose our creativity because
who the heck could create anything among
chaos and pain and fear…we
did it. We created, we supported one another, and we didn’t
give up. 
Because we’re family.
Sure, we did it via Zoom once a week (something we will be continuing
once we all
return to the classrooms to teach and learn), and sure, we
talked about a lot more
than just our work, but you know what? It kept me
going, kept me thinking, and most
importantly? My cohort/friends/family
kept me writing. The writing life is so valuable
to us as writers and artists,
and when you lose that, you lose a piece of yourself.
Well, fear not.
When you enter this program, and when you leave it, you will maintain
a
strong bond to those who went through those residencies with you, who
poured over
your words as if they were your own, and who cheered you
on as you read your work
out loud for a room full of people…and so will
the faculty. 
My mentor, the amazing and indestructible Nancy McKinley, never
stopped having my
back, or offering me opportunities, and quite frankly, I
truly hope my time in the
program, though officially finished, never ends.
Rather, I hope it expands in many
other ways, and that I can take the
knowledge this program and my forty-nine published
books have given
me, and I can continue to build that community, friendships, and
family
the program gave me. My only remaining question to you, if you’re not
with
us yet, is…
What’s holding you back, besides perhaps yourself?

Summer Community Workshops

this summer on
the Wilkes University campus for adult learners of any

�age. Advance registration for
these community workshops is available
at wilkes.augusoft.net

Character Development:Plumping Up Flat Stanley or
Stella
Flat Stanley may be perfect for traveling along in your suitcase; however,
a protagonist
who is flat is not one who readers will spend their free time
with. To help keep the
reader's interest, we'll explore ways to take
Stanley or Stella from flat to rounded.
We'll review five ways writers can
plump up their characters—through image, voice,
action, thought, and
author's interpretation. We'll spend the six-week workshop for
adults of all
ages creating a new character or developing a character who's been in
the back of our heads waiting to come alive.

• Meetings: Tuesdays – 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
• Dates: July 9, 16, 23, 30, August 6 and 13
• Cost: $65.00 for the entire series
• Instructor: Janine Dubik
Writing for Social Media: How to Plan, Market and
Earn
In this six-week non-credit course, adults of all ages will learn the
language of
social media, how to market their own work/selves and how
to earn money working as
a social media marketer. Participants will leave
the class with an assessment of their
own social media habits,
understanding of blog writing, website copy and how to use
Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram for marketing purposes.

• Meetings: Wednesdays – 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
• Dates: July 10, 17, 24, 31, August 7 and 14
• Cost: $65.00 for the entire series

Faculty member Greg Fletcher’s first YA novel, Other People’s
Crazy, has finished pre-production at Northampton House Press
against a publication date
of June, 2019. In a high school in suburban
Arizona, the biggest kid in his sophomore
class is being bullied by the
smallest. With no dad, best friend, or girlfriend, Brandon’s
life feels
like pure hopeless chaos. But thanks to his crazy single mom, a stray
dog,
a bronco-busting hairdresser, a random left turn, and boomerang
karma from the Universe,
Brandon has a chance to turn his life in a
new direction. Chaos, or Choice? They’re
both in the mix of crazy at
Mesa Verde High. Look for it on the sale table at Barnes
&amp; Noble at
this summer’s residency!

The right connections in publishing can jumpstart your career and make
the journey
more enjoyable. But there is a fine line when asking for a
favor (or a freebie) and
networking. This panel looks at how emerging

�writers can gracefully navigate the art
of "the ask" and how established
authors can balance their time and effort and meaningful
connections.
Five publishing insiders share secrets of effective networking without
looking self-interested—and when to say no without looking
unsupportive.

Sidney famously writes, "And others' feet still seemed but strangers in my
way" ("Astrophel
and Stella"). However, one would only need to read
Homer, Virgil, and Dante, the letters
between Wordsworth and Coleridge
or Moore and Bishop, to recognize the long tradition
of poets mentoring
and inspiring other poets. The poets will challenge the notion
that
tradition and innovation are at odds by revealing how specific poems
influenced
them and led them to better understand different poetic
elements.

Writers discuss creating narratives of girlhood sexual trauma, share
influences and
craft advice, and offer strategies for overcoming the
challenges of writing these
stories. The writers on this panel create works
that subvert common victim narratives—via
humor, style, non-linearity,
narrator agency, lack of disclosure, and more—as well
as examine the
intersections of gender, race, class, inherited trauma, and sexual
identity
on narratives of sexual violence.

�Rewriting History: Why It's Not Okay to Fictionalize Our Memories
Friday, March 29, 2019
9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.
B114
Oregon Convention Center
Level 1
Every so often, literary scandals seem to surface, particularly when it
comes to
memoirs. Is there an unspoken code of ethics that exists for
memoirists and essayists?
Or is it something deeper, something
psychological that gives birth to the betrayal
we feel upon discovering
that a nonfiction writer has invented a character, setting,
or memory? In
this panel, nonfiction writers discuss the difficulty in cultivating
memories
while managing this genre's ethical demands and expectations.

Essayists
Thursday, March 28, 2019

B114
Oregon Convention Center
Level 1
When's the last time you sat down with an essay by Lamb? Or cracked
open The Rambler?
Maybe not recently enough. With so many exciting
new modes of the essay being written
today, it can be easy to forget
those of the past, but writers like Montaigne, Rousseau,
Hazlitt, and
Woolf have more bearing on contemporary essayists than you might
think.
This diverse panel of essayists writing in a variety of sub-genres
shows how the "classics"
inspire them—as perhaps they will inspire you,
too.

Endings for the End Times?
Thursday, March 28, 2019
4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Portland Ballroom 255
Oregon Convention Center

�Level 2
As we reach the concluding lines of our own works, current ailments in
the body politic
may bend us toward chaos and despair. At the same
time, ever-present narrative and
commercial pressures may drive us
toward neatly resolved, even uplifting, endings.
How do we craft final
notes that imply light and dark, open and closed, emotional
and
intellectual complexity? We discuss struggles and strategies for endings
that
feel satisfying for readers, and yet true to the work, the moment, and
ourselves.

Am I Really Going to Do This Until I Die?
Friday, March 29, 2019
4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Portland Ballroom 256
Oregon Convention Center
Level 2
The longer a person teaches workshop, the more prone he or she is to
burn out; after
all, instructors tend to use the same format semester after
semester, and students
tend to need the same advice. How can
instructors keep workshops feeling relevant
and energized? Are there
new models that might reinvigorate our students and ourselves?
This
panel, featuring undergraduate and graduate writing instructors, will
address
strategies to keep everyone engaged, down to the most
exhausted teacher.

work with
veterans, oceanographers, food co-ops, and refugee
organizations.

Changing of the Guard: Editors on Inclusion and Diversity in
Literary Journals
Saturday, March 30, 2019
3 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.
Portland Ballroom 255
Oregon Convention Center
Level 2
The VIDA Count is an indispensable measure of gender diversity in
literary journal
publications. While the numbers layout disparities within
this community, the question
remains: how can we increase contributor
and staff diversity in areas such as race,
sexual identity/orientation, and
disability? Where is the line between diversity and
tokenism? This panel
of literary journal editors will share their strides, missteps,
and questions
on inclusive staff and contributor practices.

Eco-justice poetry embodies justice, culture, and the environment. It is

by a wealth of cultural
traditions, urgent in our time. Come listen to
contributing poets read from and discuss
the ground-breaking Ghost
Fishing: An Eco-Justice Poetry Anthology, as each discusses
their

How we need another soul to cling to: Writing Love Poems in
Difficult Times
Saturday, March 30, 2019
3 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.
D139-140
Oregon Convention Center
Level 1
When the news feels like a daily onslaught, it's hard to believe writing a
poem can
matter—let alone a love poem. Here, five poets will share their
own love poems and
discuss how writing about love also allows them to
explore everything from racism
to climate change to queerness to
personal grief, then offer strategies of how others
might do the same. For
how better to know why resistance is worth it? In this panel,
we'll discuss
not just what we're fighting against but what we're fighting for.

Revise This!

The Norman Mailer Society
Conference, 2019
A Diferent Norman
BY JASON MILLER 
In The Spooky Art, his treatise on writing, Norman Mailer identifies

2017
2018

himself as a writer who changes
his persona with every book he writes.

Revise This! -

As academics who study his work and as writers
ourselves, it can be

November 2019

difficult to find a means to access a man whose personality,
and work,
seem to be in constant flux. This year’s Norman Mailer Society
Conference,
which took place from Thursday, October 10 to Saturday,
October 12 at Wilkes University,
provided a multifaceted portrait of the
artist, and the man, and allowed participants
some access into his world.
Over the three-day period, Mailer scholars from across
the country, along
with four of his children, facilitated or participated in panels
exploring
Mailer’s fondness for the theater, his little known (or widely forgotten)
essay on graffiti, “The Faith of Graffiti,” his political aspirations, his
attitudes
on violence and war, as well as a discussion on how to promote
academic study of Mailer’s
work in classrooms, both now, and into the

Revise This! Archives

�future.
The first
evening of
the
conference
was capped
with a tour
of the newly
christened
Norman
Mailer
Room in the
Wilkes
University E.
S. Farley
Library,
which
features a
recreation of
Mailer’s
studio in

Provincetown, MA, where he completed his last work, The Castle in the
Forest, a novel focusing on Hitler’s childhood. The Mailer collection also
includes dozens
of hand-written manuscripts presenting a unique view
into how he worked, his reference
library, as well as his own personal
reading material. The room, and the conference
itself, serve as a
reminder that Mailer was more than just his public persona, more
than
just a novelist. Mailer was also an essayist; a journalist and co-founder of
The Village Voice; a biographer; a playwright; a filmmaker and actor; an
activist and politician. He
was also a husband, married six times, and
father to nine children. He was awarded
two Pulitzer prizes and a
National Book Award. He wrote about war, peace, violence,
madness,
forgiveness, and, apparently, graffiti.
Mailer’s youngest daughter, the painter and sculptor Maggie Mailer, gave
Saturday’s
keynote speech. Ms. Mailer spoke about what she viewed as
“the different Normans,”
those experienced by her and her siblings, as
well as his differing and ever-changing
writing voice and public persona. 
As I listened to a daughter speak about her father,
I heard one artist
speaking about another, and I came to the realization that Norman
Mailer, proper, is a man for all seasons because he is a man of all
seasons; a man
whose legacy, and body of work, offers something for
everyone because he was, at one
time or another, a bit of everything.

�The Norman Mailer Room
The Pulitzer
Prizewinning
author,
Norman
Mailer, now
has a
permanent
home at
Wilkes
University.
The E.S.
Farley library showcased a collection of Norman Mailer's works,
a
portrait-donated by his daughter Danielle, and his original writing desk.
The room
came into public view on October 10 to kick-off the Norman
Mailer Society Conference,
hosted by the Wilkes University Maslow
Family Creative Writing Graduate Program. The
room on the second floor
of the Farley Library includes Mailer's desk from Provincetown,
MA. In
addition to his personal effects, the recreated studio holds Mailer’s
research
materials, drafts, notes, and other personal items.
J. Michael Lennon, emeritus professor, and program co-founder, along
with his wife
Donna Lennon, have donated other personal items and
Mailer's manuscripts. The room
also contains the citations for Mailer's
Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award.

of literary history the next time you are on campus.

Screenwriting Master Class 
In this six-week non-credit course, adults of all ages will be introduced to
a new
way of imagination and creativity, an entry into an alternative
reality: media.
This master class will provide participants with an overview of how to
write for the
screen. Any size screen. Through the use of narrative film
and television as a model,
participants will discover that learning to write
requires learning to read. Participants
will learn how to closely read
what's on screen, how it got there and why. They will
also read
screenplays. The master class will be delivered organically, not in the
traditional delivery of a series of formulas. 
The master class outcome will be a three to four-page sequence of
scenes that would
act as the opening of either a feature length film or the
pilot episode of a TV series.
Participants will also craft a page or two on
what the rest of the story would hold
for the audience.
At the conclusion of the master course, participants will have acquired or
sharpened
their ability to imagine and create in images, be skilled in how

�stories are constructed
and be able to put a story on the page, for the
camera.

• Online Master. Class
• Six-week online master class begins February 3 and ends March 13
• Cost: $125.00 for the entire series
• Instructor: Ross Klavan
REQUIREMENTS FOR ONLINE MASTER CLASS
Students must have a sincere interest in media, film and television and
have a serious
interest in knowing this world as a writer. Students must
bring to the course an open,
adult mindset and willingness to view screen
narrative in its widest form: films viewed
in class may include violence,
sexual situations, strong language or be shot in black-and-white.

offended by any of these factors should not take the course.
You will be provided with the necessary handouts and scripts (as digital
documents).
You will have to provide on your own the following films: the
pilot episode the TV
