Agnes, 50 years later: Educating a new generation
Although the damage from the Agnes flood left Wilkes University with seemingly irreplacable damage in 1972, the campus community
repaired and rebuilt. Now, Wilkes is observing the 50-year anniversary of Agnes with a walk-through tour, raising awareness of the
impressionable history. For more information and to see more historical archived photos of the damage, see page 5.

How to keep yourself and others safe from Monkeypox
By Maddy Kinard
News Editor
What is monkeypox?
Monkeypox is a rare diseases caused by
infection from the monkeypox virus. Those
infected may experience a rash which can
be located on or near the genitals or anus,
hands, feets, chest, face and or mouth.
The rash may resemble pimples or blisters
which can be itchy and go through phases
of scabbing and healing.
How can I protect myself?
1. Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact
with others who look like they have a rash
resembling deep-seated blisters or pimples
2. Avoid contact with objects an infected
individual may have used
3. Wear clothing that covers exposed
skin that could come into contact with
seats on public transportation (i.e. jeans on
a plane).
4. Wash your hands often
What do I do if I think I’m infected?
1. Self isolate
2. Talk to a healthcare provider and get
tested
3. Use coverings on the rash to limit
spreading it to others
4. Don’t pop or scratch lesions
5. Wear a mask until all symptoms have
resolved
A note from Gretchen Yeninas, dean
of student affairs
“Wilkes University is working closely
with the regional and state departments
of health to prepare for when a member
of our community needs assistance with
testing or treatment.
“Students should call Health and
Wellness Services anytime for confidential
assistance and care: 570-408-4370 or
campus ext. 4730.”

Archived photos and tour reveal true extent of flood damage
By Emily Cherkauskas
Editor-in-Chief
FIfty years after the floods of Hurricane
Agnes damaged and destroyed parts of thenWilkes College in 1972, the now-university
is observing the memories with a public tour,
open to anyone in the community.
In a collaboration between the Wilkes
University Archives and the Eugene S.
Farley Library, the Sordoni Art Gallery, the
history and integrative media departments,
the WCLH radio station and web services, a
walk-through tour was able to be set up.
There are 12 stations designated across
campus in front of certain buildings that
detail the extensive damage done by the flood.
Each sign includes a map of the locations for
all buildings that were extensively damaged,
including Weckesser Hall, the library, Kirby
Hall, Chase Hall and more.
Aside from photographs and a short
biography, each sign also offers a QR code
and link to follow, www.wilkes.edu/agnes,
where more photos and statistics of flood
damage are revealed. Additionally, interviews
organized by WCLH, WIlkes' radio station,
are offered of staff reflecting on the event.
For the extended story, interviews and
reflections, go to www.thewilkesbeacon.com
Photos are courtesy of the Wilkes
University E. S. Farley Library Archives.
For the entire collection of photos,
visit the repository, available online at:

Fly Fishing Club returns for its second year at Wilkes
By Maddy Kinard
News Editor
Fly Fishing Club is back for its second
year on campus, reeling in new students
and welcoming them to their relaxing,
fun environment.
The club was created in 2021 by junior
environmental engineering major, Jacob
Smith and sophomore undeclared major,
Randall Zack who also serve as club
president and treasurer respectively.
Fishing all the time as a kid, Smith
grew up with a river in his front yard.
His love for the sport continued into
his formative years, leading him to
fish all throughout high school as well,
frequently competitively. Zack and
Smith had met and fished during this
time together and eventually, both
ended up at Wilkes.
“I said, ‘well we don’t have one here,
would you want to do it with me?’ and
then we found some other interest and
went from there,” said Smith.
Fly fishing differentiates from regular
fishing, or spin fishing, in that instead
of using something weighted to throw
when casting, fly fishing lines are bigger
and weighted, serving as the weight
itself.
The club hosts many events and
outings, the most recent being a trash
clean-up at Seven Tubs Nature Area in
Luzerne County. During this event, they
were able to pick up a truckload of trash
and finished by fishing in the stream.
They also fish in various locations,
some being Scranton, Lackawanna and
Keystone College as they frequently
collaborate with their club.
Beyond going out and fishing together,
members of the club are interested in the
conservation of streams. In the past, they
have written letters to the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission on proposed
regulations, either in support or against
it.
They are also currently working
on bringing in speakers, one being a
man who builds rods from scratch and
another to talk about his career in Fish
and Boat.
One important aspect of the club is
that you do not have to know how to fly
fish to join.
“The best part about the club is the
opportunity to teach other people how
to fly fish,” said Zack. “The hope is
that at least one person will discover a
passion for the outdoors. Fly fishing
is more than fishing, it’s about taking
a step back from your busy life and
appreciating nature.”
For those who may be nervous
about joining, Smith defines the club
as “super laid back.” New ideas or
critiques are welcomed. The club also
has all the necessary gear for members
and is working on gaining Student
Government funding to pay for fishing
licenses for those who do not have one.
The club saw great success on club day,
having 35 students sign up to join. For
others wanting to get involved, the club
holds scheduled meeting times usually
on the second Thursday of every month
in Cohen 119. Their next meeting will
be Sept. 15 at 12p.m.

host an art in context feature lecture with
the artist Patricia Moss-Vreeland at 5 p.m.
on Sept. 15.
“In Search of Meaning: Memory
Becomes Us” will feature paintings, prints,
mixed media, interviews, poetry, scientific
texts and videos by Moss-Vreeland that
reflect how she connects memory to our
senses, place and identity. The pieces are
designed so that each person who views
her works can find something that they
relate to.
Moss-Vreeland is an artist, author, poet
and leader who focuses on the relationship
between art, memory and creativity and
explores the social impact of memory
through sciences, history and language.
“Patricia sent the gallery a proposal to
display her work,” said Heather Sincavage,
associate professor of art and the director
of the Sordoni Art Gallery. “Her work
touches creative writing, psychology,
neuroscience and gender studies so I felt
this was an interesting intersection of
disciplines that could access the work and
see their curriculum reflected in it.”
The artist will speak about her work that
will be featured in the exhibit and about
the collaborative research she did at the
Monell Chemical Senses Center and with
Dr. Dasa Zeithmaova at the University of
Oregon.
“I think that an opportunity like this on
campus is amazing,” said junior business
major Rebecca Timko. “Experiencing
a lecture like this can be a life and
career changing experience for students
and this artist’s work can appeal and
influence students across all majors and
backgrounds.”
Moss-Vreeland has been exhibited
internationally and nationally for over
40 years and she has collaborated with
neuroscientists to explore the human
brain and memory for over 20 years.
So far, her works have been displayed
at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the
Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Institute of
Contemporary Art, the Art Institute of
Chicago and the Holocaust Museum in
Houston.
“I am excited to be exhibiting where
students have access to the gallery,” said
Moss-Vreeland. “I have had numerous
interactions with students who have
responded in such stimulating ways and
I appreciate hearing their thoughts and
connections to the art and concepts. It
becomes a dynamic part of my work and
exhibition. There is a table with a response
box, inviting participation and by stopping
and reflecting, you can experience the
ways in which creativity guides us.”
Moss-Vreeland tends to experiment
with different kinds of materials to
stretch her own boundaries and the
boundaries of others. She also enjoys
having conversations with scientists about
memory and learning. She believed that it
would be interesting to reveal the process
of the artist and scientist talking with one
another about their work and their views
and representing that in the exhibition.
Since Moss-Vreeland is inspired by
nature, she uses it in all of her artworks and
her media. She enjoys capturing the feeling
of something and not just the way that it
appears; what she imagines and observes
is woven together to create her art styles.
“I have found this exciting,” said MossVreeland. “I talk about the art and science
of memory as intertwined spaces and
show that art and memory are subjective,
creative, interpretative and have social
impact. Imagination moves us forward.”
Moss-Vreeland will speak for about 45
minutes and will answer questions from the
public. A free wine and cheese reception
will follow the lecture and is free and open
to everyone. Parking will be available for
visitors in the Karambelas Center located
directly outside of the Sordoni Art Gallery.
“In Search of Meaning: Memory Becomes Us” incorporates many types of
media, such as paintings, prints, artist books, poetry and videos in the show.

paintings inside the exhibition.

Moss-Vreeland and allows the viewer to reflect upon recalling memories.

Programming Board presents ‘goat yoga’ alongside Chemistry Club
By Wren Haze
Life, Arts & Entertainment Staff Writer
Programming board hosted Goat Yoga
on Sept. 8. The event was a repeat of Treat
Yourself Thursday that occurred last fall
and similar elements were implemented.
Chemistry Club also collaborated with
Programming Board. Members of the
club made scented sugar cubes, which
were then used for sugar scrubs.
“We’re using a hot plate with a melt pour
soap base and some coconut oil,” said
junior biochemistry major and chemistry
club president Daphne Shencavitz. “Then,
we pour it in molds with sugar mixed with
essential oils and vitamin E oil. Then, we
let them harden.”
Students were able to either create their
own sugar scrubs or pick out ones that
were pre-made by the club. Some of the
sugar scrub scents included lemon, blood
orange, lavender and sandalwood.
The event included a grab-and-go,
which allowed students to pick out claw
hair clips, guashas, face roller and build
their own charcuterie boards. There also
was coloring and friendship bracelets for
stress relief.
“We wanted to make a twist with the
event and added Buttinhead Farms for
goat yoga,” said sophomore political
science and history double major Kaelin
Hughes, who is also Programming Board
president.
As for the actual Goat Yoga, attendees
were able to go inside the pen and play
with the goats, whereas others attempted
yoga poses while these goats were placed
on top or near them. The goats were easily
approachable and photographable as the
ones in their shirts were ready to strike a
pose.
Events like these are meant for students
to sit back and relax during a week
that may have been stressful. However,
planning events and attracting students
to attend can be a challenge.

“The goats make it really interactive,”
said sophomore nursing major and
community service chair of programming
board, Lauren Beaver. “They also draw a
crowd no matter what.”
According to Hughes, preparations for
this event and others from Programming
Board have been in the works since the
summer. Due to certain circumstances,
the board has been condensed, which
left programming board with some issues
with event planning.
“It was confusing to switch between
contacts and coordinate for goat yoga
but other than that I think it pulled itself
together,” said Hughes.

Join book club and start reading “Holding Up the Universe”
By Jordan Daniel
Life, Arts & Entertainment Editor
The Book Club is starting back up
again since its start last semester and
members are already joining fast.
The first book members will read this
month is “Holding Up the Universe” by
Jennifer Niven, and the first meeting
to discuss the book will be Sept. 25 at
noon. at the Barnes & Noble located in
the Arena Hub Plaza.
“I’m not a very outgoing person but
I really like reading and sometimes
when I’m reading books I’m like, ‘God,
I wish I had someone else to talk to
about it.’ So that way they counteract
what I’m thinking about,” said senior
communication studies major and
leader of the book club, Victoria Yother.
Book lovers and those who enjoy
discussing literature will have plenty of
opportunities to do so if they sign up
for this club. The club reads one book
a month and at the end of every month
all the members will meet to discuss the
particular book. At this time, members
are responsible for acquiring their own
books.
“I wanted to be a part of a club that
would fit with my busy schedule and
encourages me to interact with people
who love reading like I do,” said junior
musical theater major, Jay’na Johnson.
“Holding Up the Universe” was
chosen after Yother sent a Google form
via email to existing members and those
who recently joined. “Holding Up the
Universe” tells the story of a growing
relationship between two teenagers,
Libby Strout and Jack Masselin, who
end up in group counseling after being
involved in a bullying game.
“I think it’ll be a great book to read
for our first meeting with an easy
lighthearted topic,” said Yother. “I’m
looking forward to our first meeting
and getting to know everyone else in the
group as well.”
Many new members joined this year
after discovering the club’s existence
in Today at Wilkes emails. They are
excited to begin reading different books,
discussing their ideas and thoughts with
others and making new friends.
“It sounds like a very open environment
so don’t be afraid to jump in,” said firstyear criminology and psychology major,
Skylar Forella.

For most college students, there is a
certain time in their undergraduate life
when they must complete an internship
or sommething similar. For me, that
journey began on Sept. 12 with The
Walt Disney Co.
Life, Arts & Entertainment Asst. Editor
By Morgan Rich
Life, Arts & Entertainment
About four weeks before the arrival
date, the company sends the student
their onboarding paperwork, which
includes where the student will work
on their program. The Walt Disney Co.
allows their interns to work anywhere
on their property, which can include
the resorts, parks, ESPN Wide World of
Sports and Disney Springs. Interns are
also expected to work at least 30 hours
per week but can expect to work 50 or
more hours during the busier seasons.
I found out that I would be working
in merchandise on the boardwalk at
Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, a hotel and
entertainment complex. I will work the
cash register, stock merchandise, sell
packaged items, help and talk to guests,
stock the backrooms and even more that
I will find out about when I get there.
Being a full-time student also grants
me the opportunity to have a study hall
every Tuesday and Thursday so I can
attend my online class and complete my
schoolwork.
During the program, participants
are expected to follow the company’s
look for employees, who are referred
to as cast members and will work the
shifts that full-time and part-time cast
members do not want.
Although it does not sound like the
most glamorous of internships to some
extent, going into the program with a
positive mindset and attitude will set
everyone up for success.
As a communication studies major,
my role and location are specific to help
me in my area of study because I will
investigate the heritage, culture and
business of a Fortune 500 company,
explore career and professional
11
development opportunities, engage
with
professional
communication
scholars, work in a collaborative team
environment, assist in day-to-day media
questions, issues, crisis management,
cast communication and contribute
to the development of communication
strategies that enhance and protect the
reputation of the company.
I will also communicate personally
with guests and contribute to the
company’s rhetorical strategies, utilize
interpersonal communication skills
while interacting with guests and fellow
cast members from different cultures
around the world, participate in weekly
exclusive events that showcase possible
career opportunities in the company
specific to communication studies,
participate in learning how to brand
within public relations and I will learn
about the company’s film, rhetoric and
public relations history.
During my internship, I will be
fortunate enough to receive an
apartment with my own bedroom and
bathroom. My apartment is also only
about a 13-minute drive to where I will
work.
This internship has been a dream of
mine since I was in the eighth grade
and I am extremely happy that I will
finally get to live out one of my dreams.
According to the company, out of
the 12,000 students that apply every
semester, only 20 percent get accepted.
I will be doing my internship from
September until January 2023.
Come back every week to hear more
about my magical memories with the
Disney college program.

Our Voice
Each week, The Beacon’s editorial board will take a stance on a current issue.
Monarchy: not something to romanticize
On Sept. 8, Queen Elizabeth II died after
a reign that lasted 70 years, seven months
and two days—the longest in British history.
With a tumultuous event sending a rift
through the digital world, we are once
again reminding our readers to be mindful
and cautious of misinformation they find
while browsing the Internet. With such a
divisive entity that is the concept of a royal
family existing, conflict naturally occurs.
For example, Reductress, a verified
Twitter account, tweeted that the queen’s
beloved corgis would be buried alive with
her—yes, buried alive.
If one would click on Reductress’s profile,
they would see the bio explaining it is a
fake news magazine. Additionally, clicking
on the link to the supposed article would
lead to a page explaining the claim was all
a joke.
Although it was an excellent example
of dark humor and satire, a large portion
of online users did not understand this
sarcasm. Tens of thousands of Twitter users
ended up believing this to be true, thanks
to the verification and prominence it had as
a search result for “Queen Elizabeth II” on
the day of her death. The post was liked and
shared hundreds of thousands of times, and
this does not include the number of users
who saw the post without engaging with it.
This is just one example of misinformation
spreading online, and it will continue to get
worse if online readers do not understand
media literacy. Unfortunately, many
users don’t read past a headline or the
first sentence of an article, thus leading to
ignorance prevailing.
Regardless of whatever your views are on
Queen Elizabeth II, or just the concept of a
monarchy in general, there is something we
all can agree on: Do not fall into the hole of
fake news.
The royal family in particular has become
the subject of salacious news and gossip, to
the point where what’s actually important
to the world is suppressed by such gossip,
thanks to tabloid culture taking advantage
of readers that lack media literacy.
You can enjoy the entertainment and
drama that the royal family brings with
what comes about with an entire family
being put in the spotlight, but you should
not romanticize them, as fantastical as
royal life seems. Queen Elizabeth II was
one of, if not the most public figures on the
planet, while having to remain the most
private. We don’t know what truly goes on
behind closed doors, despite news outlets
claiming an unnamed source came out and
said this or that.
As desperate as the infamous tabloids
and news outlets can act in trying to
peek into the life of the mysterious royal
family, we will never know the full story of
anything that happens behind the walls of
the palaces.
Even with the queen’s death bringing
international attention to the small
country, with eyes focusing on Britain,
misinformation will continue to flourish,
as it always will with the royal family.
Readers will continue to read what satisfies
their curiosity and bias, even if it is
misinterpreted or factually incorrect.
If certain royal family members or staff
try to give their side of the story, that is
all they can give. We don’t know the other
side. Magazines and tabloids will continue
to report on what makes them money and
clicks, no matter what amount of truth or
falsity it is based from.
The future is going to bring up many
stories now that the queen, the head of
state, is gone. Because of that, it is up to the
readers to do proper research and mindful
reading.

The politics of Wilkes parking: a commuter’s perspective
By Rudy Urenovich
Staff Writer
I can remember my very first day as
a first-year student at Wilkes in the fall
of 2019. As a commuter, the 40-minute
drive to Wilkes required its own mental
preparation.
I arrive here fairly early, I’d say before
8:30 a.m., but imagine my surprise to find
the lot almost full...the big, extensive lot
behind the student center, almost entirely
filled. By the grace of whatever higher
power there is, I managed to get one of
the last spots, but it gave me even more
anxiety.
Fast-forward three years, and I can say
the parking situation is not much better.
And, depending on the time of year, I
would say it is even worse.
I will concede that this school year,
although we are still in the early days, has
been an outlier. While the beginning of the
semester is always a hectic time for college
life, the parking situation thus far has been
beyond expectations.
Now I will begin to address some of the
elephants in the room. I have heard that
the handing out of parking passes this
year was disorganized and perhaps a bit
too generous. I think this is quite obvious;
just try to find a spot anywhere on campus
after 10 a.m. You’ll end up on the roof of
the parking garage, should you be so lucky.
Now, I am not going to just complain
and whine without proposing some
possible solutions.
I think upperclassmen, faculty, and
commuters should have priority when
it comes to parking. For instance, when
we schedule classes, we do so in order of
graduation year.
I firmly believe that commuters should
have first dibs when it comes to parking, in
terms of obtaining a pass and having open
spaces in the a lot.
I do not need my own personal spot, just
a chance to get a desirable spot. I’m sorry
residents, but we literally cannot attend
school without a car—we use it for our
education, not just going on a Target run.
The district where I attended
high school, while having countless
shortcomings, had enough foresight to
designate a specific lot for student drivers,
thus making transportation to and from
school considerably easier. It should be
possible on the Wilkes campus.
This may not be practical, but I believe
on the parking pass application, we choose
whether we park in a main lot or at the
Ralston complex, so why can we not get
more specific, and choose a lot that we
prefer to part in most of the time? I know
it might not be this simple.
But, to put it bluntly, I if I must pay $120
a semester for a parking pass, I would
like to be guaranteed a spot. It should at

the very least be assured there are enough
spaces to accommodate for everyone who
must purchase a pass.
I understand there are extenuating
circumstances, events and visitors. The
other week, even President Joe Biden made
an appearance at Wilkes. But if classes are
in session, we the students should be the
first priority when it comes to rights such
as parking.
We pay our dues through tuition,
run countless clubs, programs, and
organizations and make up the school’s
identity. In short there would be no school
without the students. I think a little more
consideration, planning, and perhaps even
a little money could be used to ensure we
have necessities like decent parking.
I would like to end a high note, however.
I must say I was delighted when I was
handed my parking pass and discovered
it was a placard as opposed to those
awful little stickers that reek havoc on my
windshield and were always done in garish
colors.

according to the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Even more health issues arise when
caffeine is used as a replacement for sleep.
Most adults need between seven and nine
hours of sleep a day.
When caffeine is used to extend the
amount of time spent awake, it can lead
to sleep deprivation. According to the
Cleveland Clinic, lack of sleep can lead
to short-term problems like impaired
memory and poor quality of life and longterm problems like diabetes, heart attack
or stroke.
Although the stimulant caffeine is not
inherently harmful in smaller doses, poor
dietary and sleep habits often coincide
with caffeine addiction.
When we normalize or even trivialize the
effects of daily coffee consumption, many
may not realize these potential dangers.
Drug addiction, regardless of substance
severity, should never be normalized.
Luckily, you can limit the negative
consequences of caffeine addiction.
Using a straw and rinsing your mouth
after drinking a caffeinated beverage can
prevent dental issues.
Drinking black or unsweetened coffee
and tea reduces sugar intake. The NIH
also recommends that caffeine should be
consumed over six hours before going to
bed to reduce sleep disturbances.
Like most treats in our diet, coffee and
tea can be safe as long as we know the risks
and consume in moderation.
Caffeine and college students: an unhealthy relationship
By Sydney Allabaugh
Opinion Staff Writer
On an average morning, you can find
me in line at the campus Starbucks for my
daily coffee.
I am one of millions in my age

Institute of Health (NIH), caffeine is the
most commonly used drug in the world.
Should daily use of this stimulant be this

consuming
under
400
milligrams of caffeine a day is generally safe
and can even have some health benefits.
However, excessive caffeine usage
can lead to a variety of side effects
including insomnia, nervousness, heart
complications and muscle tremors,
according to the Mayo Clinic. This can
become a serious problem if someone
struggles with caffeine use disorder and
requires more caffeine than average to feel
alert.
Additionally, caffeine consumption by
means of coffee and energy drinks can pose
additional health risks. Coffee and energy
drinks are both acidic, which potentially
can lead to enamel erosion according to
the NIH.
Sweet caffeinated drinks from Starbucks
and Dunkin’ and energy drinks like Red
Bull also commonly contain double the
daily recommended amount of sugar.
This high sugar content combined with
high acidity can lead to tooth decay. High
sugar intake alone can lead to obesity,

“Finch” review: an inclusive self-care app for students
By Emily Cherkauskas
Editor-in-Chief
The problem with many health and selfcare apps is that following or understanding
information and goals gets overwhelming
or annoying too quickly—rendering their
selling point useless.
In fact, “Finch” is the opposite of that.
Available on the Apple and Google Play
stores, you get to control how many goals
to follow, what notifications you receive
and what aspects of your life journeys you
can focus on.
In “Finch,” you become the owner of a
pet baby bird, with the goal of nurturing it
to let it grow up and learn its personality,
including its likes and dislikes.
One may be typically reminded of a
“Tamagotchi” pet, but unlike “Tamagotchi,”
the goal is to not let your pet die, as that
isn’t the point of “Finch.”
Taking hold of self-care
“Finch” allows you to focus on certain
journeys that offer specific sets of goals to
follow. Some examples include hygiene,
exercise, mindfulness, tidiness, work-life
harmony, sleep and more. You are also able
to create your own journey. You are able
to start all of those
journeys together,
with as many goals
as you want to
follow—there is no
limit or minimum.
There
is
an
incentive
to
following
your
goals. With each
goal completed, you
are awarded with
in-game currency
that can be used
to buy clothes or
furniture for your
pet.
As you complete
more, you can reach
milestones and allow your pet to grow
from a baby to an adult.
I have noticed the app encourages and
focuses on the lifestyle of taking one day
at a time. You just focus on the goals you
have for the day and reap the rewards of
completing them.
As someone who would constantly
worry about what I would have to do
for the entirety of a week, “Finch” has
definitely slowed my mind down and led
me to focus more on
the idea of taking
control of each day
for what it offers.
It’s
honestly
perfect for a college
student trying to
adjust to the new
lifestyle,
either
commuter
or
resident. If you are
struggling to get
into a routine, you
can take on the
simplest to the most
energizing of goal,
from setting a goal
to brushing your
hair or cleaning
your clothes, to following unlimited yoga
exercises.
Pricing and privacy
The app offers a premium subscription
mode for any interested users, with yearly
or monthly plans. The yearly plan rounds
out to a little over three dollars a month.
The creative goals and activities you
can engage in as a non-premium user give
much flexibility, still offering an extremely
strong core.
The app is transparent and shows you all
the features and activities you can get with
premium, such as more in-depth tutorials
and prompts for exercises or journaling,
or more app customization. Although I do
not currently have a subscription, I would
recommend it if one were interested.
The creators explain in the terms of
service that they make money off premium
subscriptions, rather than selling data to
advertisers. Even the non-premium app
does not include any advertisements,
unlike other apps or games.
Expectational privacy is a need for many
users, including myself—especially now in
the current era.
On the subject of privacy: There is no
cloud saving; all local data must be saved
manually, which is compressed into a zip
file, with your control of where it is saved.
For these reasons, I wholeheartedly
recommend “Finch.” It’s flexible, inclusive
to everyone, judgement-free—and cute.
I was nowhere near able to include
all features available in the app, so I
recommend anyone to check it out and see
what it has to offer for a memorable selfcare journey.

Wren’s watchlist: “The Case Study of Vanitas” and a chaotic plot
By Wren Haze
LA&E/Opinion Staff Writer
Spoiler alert: This story contains plot
reveals.
This week, I finally found time to finish
the second part of the first season of “The
Case Study of Vanitas,” and this show does
not give me a break.
The show follows a vampire of the
Crimson Moon, Noé Archiviste, a 19-yearold man who is in search of the Book of
Vanitas.
First things first, the show has me
hooked by its beautiful animation style
and color choice. Archiviste’s color palette
is white, black and purple and with darker
skin. I enjoy that the author included a
person of color, as many animes do not
include them and when they do, they are
perceived in a bad light. In this series,
Archiviste is the main character.
Archiviste ends up finding the book of
Vanitas and coincidentally not, meets the
owner of the book to be named… Vanitas.
Shocker.
The second part of the first season starts
shining light into Vanitas’ past. In the first
part of the season, his past was put on
the back burner and left readers to make
assumptions. However, I discovered that
nothing catches Twitter’s attention like a
man with black hair and bright blue eyes.
I still hate him.
The second part focuses a lot on the
Beast of Gévaudan and the rumor about
its recent reappearance. Vanitas and Noé
travel to Gévaudan to investigate this
issue. I got to see how much trust Noé puts
into Vanitas and how much Vanitas cares
for him.
Noé coincidentally gets taken by the
Beast of Gévaudan and we get insight
about the truth of Gévaudan. This part of
the series shines a light on how corrupt
the government is and how easily they
twist and lie about things.
This is where the chaos begins.
After Noé returns back to Vanitas,
Vanitas’ book has gone missing. The book
is in possession of Chloé d’Apchier, who
is using it to end her own life and get
retribution for the d’Apchier.
However, the plan backfires on her as
she discovers that Jean-Jacques Chastel
is in love with her. Nothing is cuter than
finding out your lover is reciprocating
your feelings just when you are about to
die.
Well, she does not die. Shocking.
This series does it’s best to not kill off
characters and instead gives them savior
by the one and only Vanitas.
I understand that this trope adds to the
plot and shows importance of Vanitas and
his stupid little book that shows the same
animation every time he uses it, but it gets
old. I would have enjoyed the Beast of
Gévaudan arc a lot more if they killed off
a character.
Just when things seem to end for every
character in this series, Vanitas’ younger
brother appears out of nowhere and uses
Dominique DeSade, a childhood love
interest for Archiviste, to lure Noé out.
Does it work? Absolutely.
This is where stuff gets crazy.
Everyone is fighting each other and
suddenly Vanitas wants to kill Archiviste.
Why? I am not entirely sure, but all I know
is once they make-up it all lovey dovey at
the end.
Something homosexual was definitely
happening, but again not my issue.
The show was very pleasing to watch
and though the storyline was slightly
confusing, I would rate this series as a
9/10.

Meet the Majors
This week’s major: Nursing
Interviews and photos by
Jordan Daniel
Life, Arts & Entertainment
Editor
Every week, The Beacon will offer a chance for majors to be placed
in the spotlight. Each student that gets chosen will have a few words
to express why they chose the major and how they feel it will benefit
them in the future.
Deiry Contreras
Senior
Gianna Picco
Junior
“My favorite part of nursing is
being able to help someone or give
them something that they can take
with them and thrive with once
they are back on their feet.
I chose nursing because I love
being able to help people. I like
being able to help someone when
they are not at their best and watch
them grow and succeed.
My goal is to impact the lives of
many.”
“I think everyone should have basic
knowledge on how to stay healthy and
understand what the proper procedures
are in emergencies. I wanted to have
that basic knowledge and go beyond
it. I enjoy applying what I learned in
nursing into my life.
I hope to leave a positive impact on
my patients, not just in their physical
health but also their mental health. I
understand that being in the hospital
takes a great toll on people and I would
like to be their relief throughout their
stay.”

Allison Shurock
Senior
“I have wanted to be a nurse for
as long as I can remember. My two
biggest inspirations are both my
mom and my aunt who are both
RNs in the ICU.
I actually recently accepted a job
after completing my externship
this summer as a labor and delivery
RN at Geisinger in Danville upon
graduation. I am so excited to begin
my journey as a nurse.”
Matthew Stankiewicz
Senior
“I’ve always seemed to have an
intrinsic motive to help people.
Nursing will allow me to do this
everyday. Nursing also has countless
avenues to explore to truly find my
calling in life.
After graduation and passing
the NCLEX, I plan to work in an
emergency department locally
before traveling with the end goal of
becoming a flight nurse.”

FB: New quarterback helps Wilkes start season off strong
By Baylee Guedes
Sports Editor
For many, the best season of the year
has finally begun… football season. The
Colonels started off their season with a
big win over the Keystone College Giants,
taking the game 48-21. This win was
momentous for Wilkes as they are being
led by new sophomore quarterback Isaiah
Rodriguez.
In his first start and first win, Rodriguez
went 18 for 23 while putting up 217 passing
yards as well as throwing two touchdown
passes and adding a rushing touchdown.
“It is an honor (to be a starter) and it
is something that I had to be patient and
work for during my freshman year,” said
Rodriguez. “The moment is finally here
and I am just hoping that I can continue
to produce and help carry this team to
a championship. Funny enough, it was
actually my birthday on the day of the
game, so it was the best birthday gift I
could ask for.”
The coaching staff is looking forward to
what Rodriguez is going to do for the team
throughout the entirety of the season.

The team is coming off of a .600 season
and members are looking to capitalize on
the energy that they have already gained
right off of the first snap of the season.
“There is still a lot of stuff we need to
improve on defensively and offensively but
a decent start (to the season),” said junior
defensive back Jesse Addesso who added
seven tackles in the win over Keystone.
“This season I am looking forward to
winning more games and getting better as
a team.”
Looking ahead, the Colonels will be
playing this Saturday as they host Widener
University at noon in a battle of the right

The team is looking forward to taking

WSOC: One final run in the MAC Freedom tournament
By Wren Hazel
LA&E and Opinion Writer
With only one more run in the MAC,
women’s soccer is continuing the pursuit
of a championship coming oh-so-close
the past six years of play.
Last season, the team finished 5th
and fought its way past a tough FDUFlorham to make the semifinals.
Eventually, the team fell to the soccer
powerhouse Misericordia.
“So far this year, it has been a really
good start,” said head coach John
McNichol. “It is a group that is close,
enjoys working together and I could
not be happier with the way they are as
people.”
Despite graduating Emily Bidelspach,
the teams’ leading scorer, the team has
started off the season on a high note.
Losing a leading scorer can be
difficult to bounce back from, but junior
goalkeeper Hannah Landis returns this
season as the defensive cornerstone.
“I think this is one of the best defensive
lines we’ve had since I’ve been at Wilkes,”
said Landis. “I am looking forward to
competing this year. Our back line has
a lot of grit & determination & we are
eager to show good teams we can run
with them.”
Landis received player of the week
honors three times throughout the last
season. She also averaged a .759 save
percentage and helped the Colonels with
82 saves.
Alongside Landis, Wilkes returns
forward sophomore Sarah Eliff and
graduate student Kayla Lopez.
“Having another shot at a last season
is a big deal,” said Lopez. “In the last four
years I have been very unlucky when
it comes to injuries, so being healthy
and having a strong start to the season
is great to see and I am excited to see
how much more I can bring to the team
and we are all very eager to finally get a
championship win.”
McNichol is looking to create
consistency in how the Colonels work
and train. He believes if they continue to
improve with bringing that consistency
each day, good things will happen.
“We understand that if we do not pay
attention to details and do not work hard
every single day, it is one momentary
lapse in judgment or decision that can
be whether we win or lose a game for us,”
said McNichol. “The goal is to continue
to improve each day.”
The Colonels return to action tonight
at Susquehanna for a non-conference
match-up at 7 p.m..

MSOC: Fifth years look to lead team through regular season
By Ariel Reed
Managing Editor
“Defense wins championships,” said
head coach Michael Piranian. “You
hear it all the time. Having (Zach) Tone
and (Nicholas) Surgent ... the guys that
have been part of a lot of games for us.”
Senior goalkeeper Zach Tone and
graduate student Nicholas Surgent return
to the loaded Colonel defensive line
to further lock their playoff ambitions.
“We were both captains last year,”
said Surgent. “I think it helps carry
over into this year. We always had
that extra leadership. We’re like glue,
and we are very close to each other
and we know what we’re looking for.”
Tone and Surgent are four-year
starters. The chemistry developed
between the two players over the
years is second to none—and is quite
obvious when watching their game play.
In addition to the return of Tone
and Surgent, the Colonels also
bring juniors Andrew Slusser and
Eli Gordon back into the line-up.
Piranian expressed the importance of
bringing back the veteran players as their
knowledge and established chemistry lay
the foundation for a successful season.
“On and off the field there’s just
chemistry that we know where certain
players will be on the field,” said Tone.
“Like you don’t really have to look but
they will be in the right position. There’s
not much communication position
wise because there’s that experience.”
Last season, Wilkes finished in the
pack with a three-way tie for 3rd place.
Due to tiebreaker rules, they
fell to the 5th seed, forcing them
to compete in the play-in game.
Unfortunately, the team fell to Stevens.
“We haven’t had an answer against
Stevens yet,” said Piranian. “Right there
for us. We haven’t beaten them and it’s
actually been three games in a row.”
Several new faces arrived on the team to
help in the push for a playoff push; one of
them being a first-year out of Allentown,
Pa.: Will Wagstaff and another out of
Oley Valley, Pa. Josey Williamson.
“I talk to our opposing coaches at
pregame, he’s made their scouting reports
and we expect a lot of things from him,”
said Piranian. “It will be tough for him
because he’s not a hidden gem right now.
“Josey Williamson is a kid that’s
walked onto the team and has shown
his athleticism and he has been really
exciting to watch,” said Piranian.

I originally came into college
interested in Pharmacy. Being able
to continue my soccer career as well
as attend an amazing pharmacy
program was a no brainer. However,
after switching majors during my
sophomore year, I decided to stay
at Wilkes rather than transferring
because I knew the amazing science
faculty here would help me find
success in the future.
Post-graduation plans in terms of
a career?
After I finish my masters, I plan to
either go to medical school or stick
with bioengineering and go into drug
and gene delivery.
Favorite memory as a Colonel?
My favorite memory as a Colonel
would have to be the 4/5 game at
FDU-Florham last season. We were
tied with 10 minutes left in the
game and Vicky (Burkhart) scored
an amazing goal. We tied with them
earlier in the season, so it was great
to go there and win and to be able to
continue our season.

I started playing when I was 5 and
stuck with it because all my friends were
always playing. I didn’t start taking it
seriously until freshman year of high
school– which is very late compared to
most people.
Favorite thing to do during practice?
Playing over the river.
Favorite meal to eat on campus?
This isn’t a meal, but whenever I am on
campus I go to Starbucks and get an iced
matcha latte with vanilla and almond
milk – everyone should try it.
What color/flavor of Gatorade is
your favorite?
Yellow.
Is math blue or red, and why do you
think that?
Red. Math is red, English is blue,
history is yellow, and science is green –
this is the only right answer.
Go to karaoke song?
Umbrella by Rihanna.
If you could choose your height,
what would it be and why?
I would choose to stay the same height.
I am 5’ 1” and if I was tall I wouldn’t be
able to buy shoes from the kid’s section.
Anyone to give a shout-out to?
The basketball boys of 408. Thank you
for letting me live with you guys.

“The news of today reported by the journalists of tomorrow.”
Queen Elizabeth II: April 21, 1926 ~ Sept. 8, 2022
Scholars ponder: What does the future hold?
By Maddy Kinard
On Sept. 8, Queen Elizabeth II’s reign
ended after 70 years, the longest of any
British monarch, leaving a question
lingering in the minds of many all over
the world: What happens next?
Thomas Hansen, international student
and geography major, was shocked at the
queen’s death—an overwhelming feeling
in Britain at the moment.
“The Queen was naturally quite a large
figure in everyone’s life in the United
Kingdom. She had been the ruler for 70
years so the majority of the country had
only ever known her as our ruler,” said
Hansen. “Every year on Christmas day at
3 p.m., the country stopped and listened
to her speech and throughout the recent
pandemic and internal social issues, she
has been a calming and level-headed
figure for the country to see and learn
from.”
Although Her Majesty’s position has
been filled by her son, King Charles
III, this does not serve as an answer for
the political turbulence that has been
ongoing, and has now been exasperated
by Elizabeth’s passing.
“This is a singularly bad time for this year, Barbados became a republic, and
to have happened because the situation many other countries, such as Jamaica,
in Britain is very turbulent,” said Dr. have been talking about it but, as Kuiken

The late queen’s funeral took place
Sept. 19 in the Westminster Abbey where
she was married and coronated 70 years
ago. Some 2,000 guests have gathered to
honor her with the service having been
led by Dean of Westminster David Hoyle.
During her ceremony, other invited
individuals also received recognition for
their honored valor during her lifetime,
like health workers who were praised
during the pandemic.
Several smaller ceremonies occurred
throughout the day, including a smaller
service inside the Windsor Chapel where
physical representations of her rule were
removed from atop her coffin and a final
familial service to lay her body to rest
beside her husband, Prince Philip, the
late Duke of Edinburgh, who died last
year at the age of 99.

Jake Wood to deliver “Conquering Chaos” with APKCFEE
By Maddy Kinard
News Editor
On Oct. 11, Jake Wood will deliver his
speech “Conquering Chaos” as Wilkes
University’s Allan P. Kirby Lecture in
Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship.
The event begins at 7 p.m. in the Dorothy
Dickson Darte Center.
Wood, a former Marine Corps scoutsniper who completed tours in Iraq
and Afghanistan and a University of
Wisconsin football player, continued
his success and is an award-winning
entrepreneur. He is the founder and
executive chairman of Team Rubicon,
an international organization that
specializes in disaster response by
mobilizing veterans who help people
prepare, respond, and recover from
disasters.
“This lecture will show students that
entrepreneurial thinking and leadership
is a lot like being a soldier,” said Charles
Pierce, executive director of the Allan
P. Kirby Center. “Challenges will
come your way and there will be many
obstacles, but one must persevere to be
successful, much as Mr. Wood was in the
armed forces.
“I think attendees will see what a real
leader is in person, rather than reading a
book or watching TV. Mr. Wood is very
charismatic and humble.”
Wood was initially scheduled to
deliver his speech in 2019. However, due
to impending weather, the university
had to act quickly. After speaking on a
military-themed panel during a lunch
for local veterans, the Henry Student
Center ballroom was turned into a
speaking space where Wood delivered
his speech in its entirety despite the
piling snow and his wife at home who
was pregnant at the time.
Wood’s speech likened military
operation, recalling on his time on
the battlefield and experiences losing
friends and fellow soldiers, to being an
entrepreneurial leader.
“Everyone in attendance didn’t seem
to mind that the snow was piling, school
was closing early and no one had their
phones out,” said Pierce. “All eyes were
glued on Mr. Wood and his slideshow

Animal Welfare Club recognized by Student Government
By Maddy Kinard
News Editor
Wilkes University’s Animal Welfare
Club, created at the start of the fall semester,
received official Student Government
recognition and seeks to educate students
on the pandemic that is animal cruelty.
“There’s more animal cruelty right now
in the world than any other time in history,”
said Matthew Hollay, club president and
junior biology major. “It’s frustrating to me
and I want to reduce it as much as possible.
Trillions of animals get killed almost every
year.”
To this point, as per The Humane Society
of The United States, more than 50 million
animals are used in experiments each year
in the United States.
The club’s primary goals are to advocate,
volunteer/fundraise, and educate. There
are three important topics Hollay mentions
that the club wishes to educate others on:
using cruelty-free products, going vegan
and adopting not shopping. He wishes to

will hand out free samples from Eden-a

They also plan to host various fundraisers
for shelters like SPCA, Luzerne County and
Blue Chip Farm Animal Refuge.
“Animals have always brought me
extreme joy and happiness,” said Megan
Oakley, senior nursing major, who works
closely with Hollay in the club. “The more I
learned about them I realized how unique
and incredible they really are. Animals
bring love and comfort to those around
them and I want everyone to experience
that.”
The Animal Welfare Club is the only club
of its kind on campus. Students were eager
to get involved, evident by Hollay’s success
on Club Day.
“I went from nine people signed up to 26
more people being signed up,” Hollay said.
As of right now, there are no solidified
scheduled meeting times but to get

Wilkes to hold study abroad in Spain and Peru in 2023
By Zach Paraway
News Staff Writer
Wilkes University is offering study
abroad programs in Spain or Peru during
the summer of 2023.
Dr. Paola Bianco, professor of Spanish
and global cultures, has been the study
abroad coordinator since 2002 and has
been at Wilkes since 1996. She has seen
many students come through the program
and learn from their experiences away from
America. Bianco’s goals for the program
are to gain confidence, flexibility, and an
understanding of a different culture.
“By learning and absorbing a new culture
students learn about their own culture.
Students come back with a new perspective
on the world, by studying abroad they gain
confidence, learn to be flexible, and to
adapt to new lifestyles,” Bianco said.
As of now, the study abroad trip is
flexible in time, city and length. Students
also have the choice to stay with a family
or in a hotel.
Spain programs are available for two
weeks at three credits, four weeks at six
credits, or six weeks for nine credits. Such
credits will be counted toward electives,
general education, minor, major and
or Spanish certification for Pharmacy.
Available locations are Sevilla, Madrid,
Valencia, among other cities.
The Cuczo, Peru, program is offered for
two weeks for three credits. This includes
excursions to Machu Picchu, clinical
observations
and/or
conversational
exchange with natives.
John Hannaway, P2 pharmacy and
Spanish major, completed a summer in
Spain with two weeks in Valencia and two
weeks in Sevilla. He used this experience
to better his linguistic skills.
“Currently, my goal is to work as a
community pharmacist. I feel that, in
this position and depending on where I
live, I will have many great opportunities
to speak in Spanish with patients,” said
Hannaway. “The hardest part to get over
was not having dinner until 9 p.m. every
night. In my family in the United States, we
usually eat dinner at 5 p.m. when everyone
Dr. Paola Bianco’s summer 2022 study abroad group to Cuzco, Peru.
gets home, so it was a big adjustment.”
Philip Davis, also a P2 pharmacy major,
attended the same trip as Hannaway.
Similar to Hannaway, he reflected on his
experience with cultural differences.
“It was super cool to see not only how
other people live but how you can adapt in
that situation,” said Davis. “It was honestly
the time of my life, I would go back
tomorrow if I could.”
The study abroad program is open
to all students and all levels of Spanish
courses. More information can be found
on the Wilkes website or contact Dr. Paola
Bianco for pricing and itineraries. Some
scholarships are also available.

Patricia Moss-Vreeland presents interactive workshop
By Maddy Kinard
News Editor
Patricia Moss-Vreeland held an interactive
workshop on Sept. 14 in the Sordoni Art
Gallery. The gallery is showing her woek in
the exhibit “In Search of Meaning: Memory
Becomes Us.” The exhibit is currently on
display.
Vreeland, an artist, author, poet and
thought leader has been compiling “In
Search of Meaning” since 1999. During this
time, it continually changed and shaped
itself and its artist. However, the main point
stayed the same: the brain's purpose is to
look for meaning.
“I keep learning more and then I have
new art and new ways to say things about
it,” said Vreeland.
Vreeland had worked closely with a
neuropsychologist who is head of a memory
learning lab, reproducing work together and
changing the other's opinions on memoryrelated topics.
The interactive workshop functioned in
a conversational way, Vreeland engaging
attendees on the ways in which they use
their memory to recall information and
what that then says about people. As evident
from student responses, past experiences
and emotions make memories, and they
are subjective. But just as much as they are
subjective, shared experiences are equally
important as they are the key source that
allow people to form bonds.
“I honestly think after hearing her speak
that it’s going to change my views on
everything because now I know that my
current memory is impacting the way that
I’m going to think in the future; I’m going
to focus on memory in a way I probably
wouldn’t have before the lecture,” said
junior criminology and psychology major
Dreena Alvarez.
Memory is also derived from patterns,
sensations and metaphors. One particular
aspect reflected in Vreeland’s work is her
art of patterns and categorization which
leads to a specific object or idea. In one
of her works, she utilizes images like a
feather, water and other duck like elements
to engage the memory in recalling a duck
without a duck ever being initially shown.
She also utilizes smell, particularly in her
piece, “Memory Is.” Smell is proven as the
strongest sensation that makes connections
for the brain. Vreeland’s aforementioned
piece offers a smell of crayons, inviting a
sense of nostalgia for those engaging with it.
“As somebody who’s both an English
major and a psychology major, combining
those two entities into one visual thing and
seeing it laid out definitely makes you think
more. This exhibit completely clears those
boundaries in your mind and makes you
think differently and more openly about
something you wouldn't have,” said senior
Jay Guziewicz.
“In Search of Meaning: Memory
Becomes Us” will be on display until Oct.
9. Attendees can visit the exhibit at the
Sordoni Art Gallery which is open 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, noon. to
5 p.m. on Saturday, and closed Sunday and
Monday.

Vreeland lectures on her piece, "Rhapsody" which is comprised of a framed print
and poem with a patterened print behind. Throughout her exhibit, she frequently
examines the ways in which patterns are intersectional with memory, this piece
being cognizant of that idea.
"WeWomen" artist book and poem examines another intersectionality that artist
Patricia Moss-Vreeland correlates with memory: gender. The work is currently on
display at the Sordoni Art Gallery.

Wilkes hosts blood drive for 9/11 National Day of Service
By Zach Paraway
News Editor
Wilkes held a blood drive Sept. 13 in
collaboration with the American Red
Cross in honor of the 9/11 National Day
of Service.
The American Red Cross is a nonprofit organization that helps support
many underserved communities and
disaster events. Blood gathered from
every blood drive goes to help give
blood transfusions and other treatments
that help save lives.
Monica Morrison, a Wilkes 2021
graduate and AmeriCorps VISTA, gave
blood at the event and has volunteered
many times before.
“Blood drives are so important. It
has been such a pleasant experience
and everyone has been so nice. It is
just important to give back to the
community,” said Morrison. “I was
nervous, but everyone has been so nice
and makes you feel so comfortable.”
A blood drive is nothing without
people to help service it. Zachary
Peterson, team supervisor for the
American Red Cross, ran the event on
Tuesday with his staff. Peterson has
been doing this for five years and has
done countless blood drives before. He
sees giving blood to have a huge impact
on the lives of so many.
“People have another day to be with
their wife, child, mother, father, sister;
some people don’t get that chance. This

Students celebrate Hispanic heritage month at Railriders game
By Laury Angeles-Martinez
Staff Writer
On Sept. 15 a group of Panamanian
students from the IFARHU program were
invited by the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Railriders production team to perform
during the baseball pre-game.
The IFARHU program is a five-year
program, which ensures that students
with academic merit in Panama achieve
a university degree at the bachelor’s level
in the stipulated period of time. The
Panamanian students performed one
of the traditional dances of Panama to
celebrate Hispanic heritage month.
In addition to the traditional dance, they
also conducted presentations with trivia
questions to give more information and
fun facts about Panama to those watching
the game.

Gabriel Araúz and digital design and
media arts major Laura de Lora Leon

Cocktail of the Week: The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot
Looking for the perfect mix
between alcohol and cereal? If so,
this creative shot is your match
made in heaven.
The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot:
Ingredients:
1 part Rumchata
1 part cinnamon whiskey (Fireball)
Whipped Cream
If you would like to garnish this
shot, simple syrup, cinnamon sugar
and cinnamon toast crunch cereal
pieces can be used.
Directions:
Add ice to a cocktail shaker. Add
half Rumchata and half cinnamon
whiskey over the ice.
Close and shake for about 20-25
seconds to get an even blend. You
can follow the other method for
ac
blending if you are without a cocktail
shaker as mentioned above.
Retrieve two small bowls, one with a
thin layer of simple syrup and the other
with the cinnamon sugar.
Pick up your shot glass and place it
bottom side up into the syrup, trying to
make sure a layer of syrup coats the rim.
Then, gently place it into the cinnamon
sugar and rotate it until the rim of the
shot glass is coated.
Pour the mix into the shot glass and

Programming Board presents Ping Pong & Pizza event
By Bailey DeJesus
Staff Writer
On Sept. 15, Programming Board put
together a Ping Pong and Pizza event for
the student body. This is the second time
this theme has been used and the students
seemed excited to engage in some friendly
competition.
“We normally expect anywhere between
60 to 120 people at these smaller events
and this has been a pretty good turnout so
far,” said vice president of Programming
Board and senior marketing major, Felicia
Clark. “With having to take a break from
in-person events like this due to COVID,
it is great to see them [in-person events]
coming back and have students be able to
enjoy them again.”
When students checked in at the
greeting table they were given the
opportunity to enter a raffle. The prizes
included in the raffle were pizza-related
like a Ninja Turtle pizza maker and pizza
blanket. All students were given tickets
on their way in so that they were able to
try for any one of the prizes.
Also, there were three ping pong tables
and three cornhole stations set up as well
for anyone that wanted to step up and
play. Later in the night, a tournament was
organized that anyone could sign up for if
they wanted to team up and make things
a bit more competitive.
As always, the free pizza offered was
devoured with every slice being eaten
barely 25 minutes into the event.
“It’s nice to have small events like
this on campus so that everyone can
have something to do and get outside,
especially before it starts getting cold,”
said Jada Acheampong, pharmacy major.
“I like these events because they are so
much more interactive than movies or
sitting inside.”
These events are great ways to help
students relax during the week and realize
that they can still enjoy their college
experience no matter how stressful it may
seem to become. Watching everyone get
so into these games and have fun was
great to see.
Next week, Programming Board
is arranging a Get Groovy event but
most members are excited for another
upcoming event, which is the Wild Wild
West Fest.
According to Lauren Beaver, sophomore
nursing major and Programming Board’s
community service chair and Jess
Kunkle, sophomore psychology major
and Programming Board’s social media
chair, Wild Wild West Fest will be a big
Wild West-themed event with Wild Westthemed decorations and food. They also
hope to bring in a mechanical bull but
nothing has been finalized yet.

Students respond to the upcoming release of “Don’t Worry Darling”
By Jordan Daniel
Life, Arts & Entertainment Editor
This Friday Olivia Wilde’s sophomore
movie “Don’t Worry Darling” is hitting
theaters in the U.S. The movie is a
psychological thriller, which Olivia Wilde
directed and stars in alongside Florence
Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan, Kiki
Layne, Nick Kroll and Chris Pine.
According to IMDb, the film is about a
1950s housewife, played by Pugh, living
with her husband, played by Styles, in
an utopian experimental community.
However, Pugh’s character begins to worry
that Styles’ character’s company could be
hiding some secrets.
The original film’s trailer was released
earlier this year on May 2 and it gave
viewers a small glimpse of what to expect
without giving away too much of the
plot. Although more details have since
been released, many were left with more
questions after watching the trailer for the
first time.
“I wanted to know the setting of the story
like what time it takes place,” said junior
education major, Nylah McDougald. “It
seemed like it takes place in the past. I also
wanted to know more about the project
they are trying to prevent the women from
knowing about.”
The trailer also revealed a “Victory
Project,” which the men of the community
are a part of but no specific description of
the project was hinted. However, a scene
from the trailer displays how all the women
are oblivious to the project except Pugh’s
character who becomes skeptical toward it.
“I love romance movies so I think this
will have a bit of romance and action but
I also am all for women standing up and
asking questions so I think I will enjoy that
part of the movie as well,” said McDougald.
The genre of the “Don’t Worry Darling”
is listed as a psychological thriller but
scenes from the trailer highlight the
romantic relationship between Pugh’s and
Styles’ characters.
Due to Styles’ high-profile as a musician,
these scenes have contributed to the
amount of attention the film has been
receiving.
“I am a big Harry Styles fan so I want
to see the movie because of him,” said P3
pharmacy major, Jen Gronski. “Also, the
film does seem interesting because the
housewife wants to discover more about
the community she lives in and she realizes
it is not perfect and there are some secrets.
My favorite types of movies are dystopian
movies and this seems to be that type of
movie.”
Although many are initially excited to
watch “Don’t Worry Darling’’ because their
favorite musician is starring in it, they are
also curious to find out how the movie’s
story unravels.
At the moment, the movie will only be
playing in theaters and tickets are available
to purchase now at dontworrydarling.

aerospace engineering and design
technology for space.”
“I chose engineering because I took a
few engineering courses in high school
and I really enjoyed them and enjoyed
all of the different types there was to
learn about and possibly do. That is
why I picked mechanical, specifically
because it is the most broad, allowing
for a wider range of learning.
“I hope to be able to secure a job

The First Official Week in Florida
By Morgan Rich
Life, Arts & Entertainment Asst. Editor
On Sept. 12, I officially started my
journey in the Disney College Program
and it was one of the best and most
challenging weeks of my life.
To start, I moved into Flamingo
Crossings Village. After I checked into
my given time slot everyone had to
watch a nine-minute video explaining
the rules of the apartments and the
campuses.
I live at the west campus, which is a
lot quieter and does not have as many
people residing in it as the east campus.
The only downside is that the east
campus hosts many of the events at
Flamingo Crossings Village.
Now, moving to Florida for four
months does not necessarily allow
everyone to pack lightly so it took me
a few hours to move in while dealing
with the 100-degree heat. Once I moved
everything into my apartment, I got to
meet my three other roommates who
Morgan Rich holds out her official nametag she received as a new cast
member.
had already been living there since May.
The next day all of the new arrivals
had off so I spent the majority of my
day decorating my room and getting
groceries. However, in the evening my
parents, my friend Carla and I went to
Disney’s Boardwalk Inn Resort to see
where I would be working. While we
were there, I met a few of my coworkers
and made sure to familiarize myself with
the place so I would not get lost on my
first day of training.
Then, we all took a trip to Disney
Springs to look around and shop the
stores that they have there. There were
lots of cute Halloween merchandise and
lots of Mickey Mouse ears. To end our
night we made sure to get dole whips,
which is a pineapple soft-serve created
by the Dole Food Company.
On Sept. 14, I had a class called
“Making the Most of Your Program,”
which taught me all about how I can
make the most of my program while I
am on my internship and how specific
things, such as self-admission cards,
will work during my internship. Since
we had the night off, a few friends and
I decided to head to Universal Studios
Florida and head to Harry Potter World.
The following day, another group of
friends and I decided to go to Halloween
Horror Nights at Universal Studios
Florida. Halloween Horror Nights is an
annual Halloween-themed event that
features unique haunted houses, scare
zones and a live show on select nights
in September and October. While we
were there, we went into nine different
haunted houses and my favorite was a
house called “Spirits of the Coven.”
Graphic by David Marks
Sept. 16 is when I had a class called,
“Traditions.” During this four-hour
class, I learned about the past, present
and future of the company and how
Disney College Program participants
fit into the success and image of the
company. The class was very interactive
and the four hours flew by.
The highlight of the class was when
Mickey Mouse came out to greet us and
hand out specialty magnets to those who
answered questions. At the very end of
the class, I received my company ID
and name tag and became an official
member of The Walt Disney Company.
It was the most surreal moment of my
entire life.
Then, to end my day I took a bus
to Disney University with a few new
friends that I made and we took lots of
pictures together to remember the start
of this unforgettable journey.

Our Voice
Each week, The Beacon’s editorial board will take a stance on a current issue.
It’s time for club hours to be for just that: clubs
Whenever any first-year student steps
on to the Wilkes campus for the first
time, the first thing that every mentor
tells them is: “Join as many clubs as you
can.”
Traditionally, in the beginning of
the semester, there even is a club day
dedicated to allowing students to be able
to join as many clubs as they would like,
showing just how involved students can
be on campus.
The student life section of Wilkes’
webpage boasts about the ability of
students to be as involved as they want
to be on campus.
According to the university’s website,
“Wilkes University is a community of
learning in which co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities complement
academic life. Students, faculty, and staff
work together to promote individual
student development by means of a variety
of activities, programs, organizations,
and cultural opportunities. All campus
organizations are open to all students,
and all function in collaboration with
faculty advisors and the student affairs
staff.”
Let’s be clear: The university decided
to block off four hours a week to allow
students to have the freedom to meet.
This designated meeting time is great
for students who are heavy on the
academic side with courseloads, but
administrators, professors and coaches
have other plans for the club hours.
If only it was actually advertised that
way.
Instead of further endorsing the
participation of students in club
activities, the aforementioned use that
time for mandatory events.
For example, professors will use that
time to host mandatory events for their
class—is that not the purpose of class
time?
Even administrators will host events
that students are “strongly encouraged”
to attend, making students decide
between collaborating with other
students or sucking up to the university
for academic validation.
Coaches use that time for practices
and lifts, isolating athletes from other
opportunities on campus.
All of the above deters students from
participating in clubs.
Does that not go directly against what
Wilkes is trying to promote? Student
involvement in campus activities is
the backbone of the true “university
experience.”
Putting
mandatory
seminars, classes, practices and lifts
during club hours forbids students
from truly diving into the stereotypical
student life.
One might argue that student-athletes
do not get a normal student lifestyle or
that there is not enough time during
class periods to allow teachers to fully
develop their information. However, that
is not an excuse to deprive a student of
their right to participate in campus life
and activities.
If there is not enough time during class
to cover content, revise your curriculum.
Want to meet with the entire class or
have a guest speaker come in? Do it
during your designated class time.
There are only so many hours during
the day, students cannot find the time to
adequately participate in their clubs and
maintain their class schedule on top of
that.
That is literally why club hours were
created: for student participation in club
activities, not class or athletics.

What the changing of the British monarch means for us
15
How the phonemena of royalty emphasizes our mortality
By Rudy Urenovich
Staff Writer
Unless you’ve been living under a rock
for the past week, then you know that
Queen Elizabeth II has passed away. This
undoubtedly marks the end of an era, as
she was longest reigning British monarch
in all of history.
My initial reaction? Disbelief. I mean,
I know every living thing, especially
humans obviously, pass away, but there
are some you just expect to be around
forever. Even though, my knowledge of
the British monarchy is limited to what I
have learned watching “The Crown,” I still
felt like somehow the death of the Queen
affectedly me on some personal level.
I suppose it is more what her death
represents, rather than her demise itself.
I hope that does not sound too unfeeling
and cold. But she has been a fixture in the
world for nearly a century. I just expected
her to live for ever.
I believe even as a small child, who
knew even less about the British monarchy
or really anything to do with the nation,
knew Elizabeth was queen. She favored
brightly colored dresses, corgis and a
simple black handbag. I do not know
how or why I knew or came to know this
information, but I did.
I suppose this is not uncommon for
major celebrities or figures put on global
display. They become almost fantastical
beings, rather than human beings, so
when death or a real human experience
plaques them, it brings them back down
to Earth, so to speak.
In a way it is extra frightening and
unsettling. We think if something can
happen to them, an powerful, almost Godlike figure, something of a similar tragic
nature can happen to us, probably tenfold.
I suppose that is why I was so taken aback
by the death of Queen Elizabeth.
These past weeks I have been so busy
and overhwlemed, as I am sure many you
are too. I have not had a moment to reflect
or react to something as small and banal
as a tiktok, much less have existential
thoughts about phenomena like death.
Ironically, her death was a wakeup call
to me, and maybe to many of you. Hey,
death is a real thing. It is coming for all us.
If it defeats Queen Elizabeth, there is no
way it is not going to come for any of us.
These days, I also more aware of
growing older, more mature and the
passing of time. I
still am disgusted
and
frightened
by the fact that
I am a senior in
college.
There
is
bound to be a
transitional,
unclear time in
my life coming
up very soon. I
will have to make
small adjustments
and
major
changes in my life. I hate changes. I thrive
off of normalcy. Even if the normalcy is
not healthy or productive.
Right now, I feel quite comfortable in
life. I found my place at college, I am at
a good place with all my friends. I have
hobbies and job opportunities and extracurriculars I am content, yet challenged
with. I want to hold on to this for as long
as possible.
Any disturbance—like the death
of a monarch that does not affect me
personally at all—is unwelcome and
makes me uneasy. I suppose it also makes
us look at our own mortality and the
mortality of our loved ones. We all grow
older each second, and this progression of
life will not stop.
I am sure all of you know at least one
person who is borderline obsessed with
British royalty. Albeit it might be an older
person, but an American nonetheless.
They have a fixation with British royalty.
I sort of understand it, honestly.
Some Americans are drawn to the
opulence and tradition found in the
British monarchy. It is has a sense of
permanence and reverence. Traditional,
yet definitely evolving. Full of strength
and conviction. People seem to respect the
crown, whether they agree with them or
not, politically or socially. Bow to it, even.
The British understand the monarchy is
more of a figurehead: the name and face(s)
of a nation. Quite different than what we
experience here in America, in terms of
leaders. We change leaders ever couple
years, and with this change, the social
and
political
climate change
drastically.
I
believe
change
is
necessary
and
needs to happen,
but I think we
can all agree it is
not always good,
like the past
few years in the
United States.
Have
they
been good for the
country? Have we had a totally competent
leader, who represents and symbolizes the
country in a proper manner? Perhaps we
glance over at the UK and divulge into
their royalty because parts of us crave
“We think if something
can happen to them, an
powerful, almost Godlike figure, something
of a similar tragic
nature can happen to us,
probably tenfold.”
its grandiose, yet almost gritty, strong
influence and conviction.
We always have to stress about a new
leader. In the United Kingdom, they do
not, aside from Parliament. They have
had the same on for many years, and
they know who succeeds her. And who
succeeds her successor. Perhaps we crave
this unchangeability in government.
As Americans, we may only see and
hear the good parts of the British royal
family, as we are not really affected or
aware all that much by their actions on a
daily basis. So it is easy to become almost a
fan or fanatic about the British monarchy.
I guess what I am trying to say is that
the world is undoubtedly a different place
now that Queen Elizabeth II has passed
on.
Whether it directly or indirectly affects
us, we certainly are aware of it and almost
act as viewers in a way, watching things
going down, but having the luxury of
turing a blind eye to things we do not agree
with or care for, while really obsessing and
almost adoring over the good.

Haley’s hot takes: Misinformation and politics run amuck
By Haley Katona
Staff Writer
Despite this age of unprecedented
access to information, the public does not
typically understand the inner workings of
our political system.
Social media is an example which
highlights this lack of understanding in
allowing misinformation to easily spread.
Social media is used as an outlet for
political exchanges and political outrage.
Content posted and circulated about
major political events has mirrored the
shift in focus of political issues that have
transformed into social issues rather than
mere policy issues.
“Most Americans have a cursory
knowledge (at best) about the political
system,’’ said Dr. Benjamin Toll, political
science professor. “They know the
facts of politics like who is in office, or
how long a term is; but they struggle
with understanding why things are
happening. Political science is really about
understanding the why rather than the
facts.”
When a person misunderstands a
concept and posts an opinion based on
emotion or bias, others begin to relate
and accept the post as a kind of truth,
increasing the general distrust or disbelief
of the political system. However, this only
adds to the radicalization and polarization
of our beliefs.
Due to this, people react more
emotionally to these debates and therefore,
there is less of a dependence or instinct to
rely on logic and knowledge.
“In today’s day and age, people fully react
with their emotions before they sit down
to understand the material that is being
presented to them,” said Sarah Phillips,
senior political science major. “I think that
if people understood the concepts it would
allow for more logical thoughts instead of
emotionally charged radical statements,”
said Phillips.
For instance, this past summer both Roe
v. Wade, a 1973 Supreme Court decision
which granted the right to abortion,
and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a 1992
Supreme Court decision which upheld
Roe, were overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson
Women’s Health Organization on June 24.
Amidst any public support or
disapproval from this decision, there was
a specific push to “abolish” the Court as an
institution based on their refusal to follow
precedent, also known as stare decisis.
Most believe that the Court must follow
precedent and what they decided is not
allowed, but this thought process circling
social media is incorrect. The Court
chooses to rely on precedent, but they have
no obligation to.
Rushing to support the dismantling
of the Court is concerning, regardless
of public opinion on their decisions.
Each branch of government is vital to
the separation of powers and checks and
balances created by the Constitution.
In an article from npr.org, Chief Justice
John Roberts, who did not vote in Dobbs
to overturn Roe, spoke on the importance
of the Court: “You don’t want the political
branches telling you what the law is, and
you don’t want public opinion to be the
guide about what the appropriate decision
is.”
The term “echo chambers” has often
been used to describe the consequence
of algorithms designed to keep users
engaged. Echo chambers can produce
misinformation, which can intentionally
or unintentionally set forth a great threat
to our already polarized and inflamed
political atmosphere.
“I think that social media can be very
beneficial when it comes to sparking
young people’s interest in politics as it is
easily accessible to them. The problem that
comes from this though is whether or not
these young people take the information
they have learned and research it further,”
said Phillips.
These issues, which demand and deserve
attention, are often displayed in a biased
manner that leads to further pushing away
from conversation and compromise—two
things undoubtedly needed for change.
“All political science research in the last
several years on this topic concludes that
polarization is increasing because of echo
chambers,” said Toll. “It allows us to think
of people who disagree with us as the
“other” and we can easily vilify them.”
If we continue to allow this space
between truth and opinion to separate us
as human beings, we lose what unites us in
the first place.
Ultimately, we are the ones who suffer
from misinformation and the willingness
to perpetuate it even when witnessing the
consequences to our political system.
Wren’s watchlist: “Moriarty the Patriot’s” unique Sherlock spin
By Wren Haze
LA&E/Opinion Staff Writer
Disclaimer: This review contains spoilers.
Everyone knows and loves Sherlock
Holmes, and sure, even I would fall for a
man who has dark brown hair and hands
for days, but something about William
Moriarty strikes me in a different way.
This week, I had the honor of binge
watching “Moriarty the Patriot” and
honestly I got hooked real quick.
The show follows a young man who
serves as a consultant for the common folk
to solve their problems.
These problems include killing
noblemen for the actions they never
took responsibility for. This stems from
Moriarty’s hatred for the British empire
and his need to destroy the current
structure that dominates their society.
Some of these noblemen commit murder
and I just sit there in shock as to why they
are not arrested.
Moritarty explains the classist reasoning
as to why the rich can get away with so
much whereas the poor gets caught red
handed.
After he monologues for three episodes
and helping the common folk get the
revenge for another four episodes, we
finally get to meet the infamous Sherlock
Holmes.
Now, I am pretty sure the BBC (British
Broadcasting Channel) had a show about
Sherlock Holmes himself, but not only was
he ugly, he was boring.
Here, on the other hand, we see how
popular he is with the ladies and his
sarcastic demeanor shining through his
intelligence.
Moriarty and Holmes finally meet and
immediately they become adversaries
or friends in Holmes’ eyes. However
while they are on the boat they meet on,
a common folk gets murdered by a noble
man and Moriarty catches him. Moriarty
also sets it up, but plays it off as he will let
it slide.
Moriarty, with the help of his brothers,
Albert and Louis, expose the noble man
for his actions. However, Holmes becomes
suspicious of the whole thing.
Which is not shockingm considering
Holmes is known as an expert consultant
detective and nothing can get past him.
Holmes and Moriarty finally become
frenemies and James Bond is finally
introduced.
What I like about James Bond’s character
is that they are canonically transgender
and the creator shown light on it very
well. Moriarty is accepting but one of his
coworkers is not and we get to see him
being educated in the whole thing.
I appreciate this because as someone
who is nonbinary, not every is going to
understand and accept you. But seeing the
growth of the character become educated
was done beautifully and not in a cliche
manner.
The season ends on Moriarty being
caught for his actions but he seems to
fulfill what he wanted to do in Britain
which seemed to be his plan all along.
He is about to end his life when Louis
sends Holmes to bring him back.
Well, he fails.
Moriarty jumps off the bridge and
the assumption is that he is dead. The
noblemen are happy and the common folk
are devastated.
When they showed at the end of the
season in a random bar Holmes found him
at, I was punching the air.
I rate this show 8.5/10 and would like for
season two to come out already.

Opinion
After successful legislation, it is clear America needed Biden
By Sydney Allabaugh
Staff Writer
Becoming president of a divided
nation during a pandemic and economic
crisis is a difficult feat. Even through
these challenges, Joe Biden has managed
to pass pivotal legislation and restore
America’s image across the globe.
During his campaign, Biden promised
COVID-19
relief,
environmental
protections, and student loan forgiveness.
He is not even halfway through his first
term, yet he has delivered on all counts.
Not even two months into presidency,
Biden signed the American Rescue Plan
(ARP) into law. This piece of legislation
helped distribute over 500 million
COVID-19 vaccines and delivered
financial relief to millions, most notably
through the expanded child tax credit.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau,
expansions to the child tax credit
17
contributed to a 46 percent decline in
child poverty—the steepest one-year
decrease in American history.
Last month, Biden passed the
Inflation Reduction Act that will lower
healthcare costs, combat the climate
crisis, and reduce the deficit. Under
this act, insulin costs will be capped at
$35 for Medicare beneficiaries, and 3
million more Americans will now have
health insurance, according to a White
House briefing.
Because of this legislation, homes,
businesses, and communities will be
powered by an additional 950 million
solar panels, 120,000 wind turbines,
and 2,300 grid-scale battery plants by
2030. Additionally, new measures are
expected to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by about 1 gigaton—10 times
more climate impact than any other
piece of legislation, according to the
White House.
In addition to the Inflation Reduction
Act, Joe Biden also announced his plan
to cancel student loan debt last month.
According to the U.S. Department of
Education, students who received Pell
grants will be eligible for $20,000 in
debt forgiveness. Millions of others will
receive up to $10,000 in debt cancellation
if their income is less than $125,000.
Biden is not only creating major
changes in the U.S., but he also restored
America’s image globally. According to
Pew Research Center, only 34 percent
across the nations surveyed had a
favorable opinion of the U.S. during
Donald Trump’s presidency, but now 62
percent of those surveyed feel this way.
Biden is also viewed as well-qualified,
while Trump was viewed as dangerous
and arrogant globally as stated in the
same survey.
Many reduce Biden down to his
relatively low approval rating, which is
42.3 percent as of Sept.15. However, one
may argue that this rating is due to the
new political climate since the Trump
administration.
According to Pew Research Center,
poll data shows that Americans are
more politically and personally divided
than ever, cannot agree on “basic facts,”
and have concerns about the future of
democracy. Many may not trust Biden
due to this developed distrust in the
media, the government, and the other
party. It is clear to see how Biden, a
stereotypical establishment politician,
may struggle to win public trust in this
anti-establishment climate.
Even though many fail to see what
good Biden has done for the country,
he promises—as stated in his victory
speech—that he “will work with all (his)
heart to win the confidence of the whole
people.” I believe he has what it takes to
do so.
compensation, do a massive amount of
work not only for the animals, but for their
communities at large.
As a volunteer at Blue Chip Animal
Refuge, I’ll tell you firsthand that
volunteering with animals is hard.
We’re not just there to play with kittens
or walk dogs—in fact, as someone who
volunteers with cats, my time is spent
cleaning litter boxes. It’s certainly more
than two or three.
Additionally, every single day, over one
hundred animals have to be fed, given
water and cleaned up after. We also need
to walk dogs, take sick animals to the vet,
and give medication to those who need it.
One of the hardest parts of volunteering,
however, is one that takes little effort: and
that is simply seeing what happens behind
the scenes.
So many animals arrive in or from horrid
conditions, and simply seeing them, either
their visible injuries or their defensive and
terrified behavior, is painful.
Seeing a depressed cat refusing to eat
after their owner passed away is painful.
Seeing the heartbreaking parting of a dog
and an owner who can’t take care of them
due to poor health is painful. Seeing a
perfectly healthy and friendly animal who
has had to live in a kennel for years because
no one seems to want them is painful.
But that pain is exactly why it’s so
important. Rescue shelters, like Blue
Chip Animal Refuge, take animals from
horrible situations and give them the
chance to become some of the most loving
and joyful creatures in the world. They are
halfway homes and rehabilitation centers
for animals, and give them the chance to
find love. And getting them off the streets
is good for not only them, but us as well.
By Sydney Ruskey
Staff Writer
From abuse to abandonment, and so
much more, the mistreatment of animals
is an issue that plagues us all around the
world, and something that many people
strive to combat. Everyday we hear
inspiring stories of a mistreated animal
overcoming the odds and finding a forever
home.
But what about the in-between? How do
those animals make the journey from the
bottom of the barrel to cloud nine? You
probably know one of the biggest answers
already: animal rescues and shelters.
Animal rescues and shelters are a
well-known category of charitable
organizations, and are respected by many
people for their work–but many are
unfamiliar with the great effort that goes
into running these organizations.
They may be admired for their
contributions to “saving the animals,” but
that statement is not nearly enough to sum
up the amount of responsibility they take
on every single day in their attempts to
fulfill that role.
These organizations, almost always run
by volunteers who receive no monetary

WVB: New-found team camaraderie lifts morale this season
By Baylee Guedes
Sports Editor
Coming off of an 11-19 season in 2021,
the women’s volleyball team is looking to
have a winning season this year as they
have quite a few returning players.
"Returning a large roster this season
gives us great depth on our bench," said
head coach Joseph Czopek. "It increases the
competition level in practices, this helps
the team continue to grow throughout the
early season."
Currently, the Colonels are 1-7 after
some hard-fought matches early this
season. Wilkes opened up with a 3-1
win over Keystone College where junior
opposite hitter Hope Ousey led the team
with nine kills.
Last year, Ousey ended the season
with 138 kills, the third most kills on the
team. In front of her were current senior
opposite hitter, Kelsey Carroll, with 213
kills and current sophomore outside hitter,
Alexis Reedy, with 224. Reedy is currently
leading the team with 76 kills while Ousey
follows with 67. Ousey and Reedy have
been putting in the work and are right in
sync with each other on the court.
“It feels great to be a leader on the team
in kills so far this season,” said Ousey. “I
have put in a lot of work over the off-season
to get to this point and I am continuing to
try to get better to be a dependable and
consistent player that my teammates can
trust to get the job done.”
Sophomore setter and outside hitter
Alexa Cassel is leading the team in
assists with 204. During her first year as a
Colonel, Cassel ended the season with 496
assists with 260 digs. Junior middle hitter
Nicole Fitzpatrick adds 59 kills on the
current season after having a total of 125
her sophomore season.
“The relationship between all the girls on
the team is so much more positive than in
past years and that is the most important,”
said Fitzpatrick. “A personal goal is to
improve my game in a new position as
an outside hitter and to be a leader on the
(from left to right) Alexa Cassel, Ally Sheridan, Sierra Hines and Hope

court. We need to continue to be positive,
keep moving forward and stop focusing on
the negative.”
In their most recent home match, the
Colonels faced Penn State Altoona where
Wilkes was swept 0-3.
Ousey explained that the team is learning
to celebrate each moment of the match,
which has led to better team chemistry in
comparison to last season and will convert
into wins in the near future.
“I think the team is already so much
more bonded and playing as a unit rather
than individuals,” said Ousey. “We have
come together more and learned how
to communicate in a more positive and
productive way to help each other out.”
This
new-found
overall
team
compatibility and positivity will assist in
leading the Colonels to victory in this 2022
season.
" Although a slow start to the season, the
coaching staff sees this team developing
upward at every match we play," said
Czopek. "As we continue to improve,
consistency will lead this team to a strong
finish."
The next home match is on Sept. 24
when Wilkes will host Wilson College
starting at 1 p.m.

FH: Monarchs best Colonels in the cross-town matchup
By Wren Hazel and Ariel Reed
LA&E and Opinion Writer & Managing
Editor
The Colonel’s field hockey team
returns for another season hoping to
leave its mark on its final season in the
MAC conference.
The team finished 4-12 overall and
2-6 in the MAC Freedom conference.
The team is led by Charlotte MacDonald
who returns as the head coach for her
second season.
“They put in a lot of hard work
throughout preseason and summer,
which show, and fitness returning in a
far better space and skill than we were
last year,” said MacDonald.
In their season opener, the Colonels
started out strong with a 4-0 win against
Elmira College on Sept. 1.
“For the team I would like to improve
on our record from last season, to make
it to the playoffs and leave a strong
impression as it is our last season in the
MAC conference,” said Hensel. “If we
brush up on some individual skills and
transfer them to the field our gameplay
will greatly improve.”
Opening up conference play, Wilkes
battled down the street against King’s
College.
The Colonels and Monarchs battled
back and forth in the first quarter,
neither relenting a goal or field position.
In the final seconds of the first,
graduate student Lauren Shiplett scored
on a penalty stroke putting Wilkes up by
one with only 2.9 seconds remaining in
the half.
“It was a good feeling for us to be
able to end the first half in the lead,”
said Shiplett. “Rita (Anmarie LeBron)
worked super hard in the circle to get
the stroke for us, and it was a great way
to pick up the pace of the game, for both
teams.”
Heading into the second half, Wilkes
had all the momentum on their side, but
could not capitalize.
Five minutes into the third quarter,
King’s Sarah Zaleppa found the back of
the net.
With the tide shifting into their favor,
90 seconds later, the Monarch’s broke
away and notched another goal, putting
themselves up by two.
Battling back and forth, neither team
was able to get another goal for the
remainder of the game.
“We lost our urgency in the second
half, and we got too comfortable,” said
Shiplett. “We all wanted to win. We
still had players that stood out, but the
overall energy from the team fell.”
The Colonels sit 1-4 in season as they
took losses from York, Elizabethtown,
Alvernia and now King’s.
“We opened up the season with a
strong win, but have been working
on skills and tactics to make us more
consistent,” said goalie Carly Eidle. “We
are all really close and you can see in the
way we practice and play.”
The Colonels return to action tonight
against Neumann at 7 p.m..

FB: The Rodriguez era shines with 20-point win over Widener
By Ariel Reed & Baylee Guedes
Managing Editor & Sports Editor
EDWARDSVILLE, Pa. – The beginning
of the Rodriguez era starts off hot with
Wilkes winning their past two contests, the
most recent against Widener with a 44-20
blowout.
“I think this team, it’s good,” said
Rodriguez. “It’s definitely just a shock.
Everybody knows we’re coming. We are
comin’ different this year.”
Wilkes started with the ball and executed
a perfect “two minute drill” and marched
down the field to get themselves in scoring
position.
“I think it set the tone,” said head coach
Jonathan Drach. “We wanted to set a
tone in that play. I thought we were very
physical today. We limited them in some of
the stuff that they wanted to do and it was
effective for us.”
Sophomore
quarterback
Isaiah
Rodriguez capitalized on their efforts with
a six-yard pass to junior wide receiver Cory
Pelzer for a touchdown, putting Wilkes up
7-0 to end the quarter.
Eager to get the ball back, senior
defensive back Jeremie Hernandez
snatched a pass off of The Pride’s QB.
The army of Colonels roared with
excitement further supporting the
outstanding field performance from the
team.
With a chip on their shoulder and the
sense of vengeance, Widener looked to
even the score within the first four of the
second quarter.
The Pride quickly put seven on the board
off of an 11-yard run.
Wilkes dug deep to battle their way
back. Rodriguez hit senior wide receiver
Nate Whitaker for an 88-yard touchdown
pass on their first down of the play. The
extra point was missed, but the Colonels
were up 13-7.
“There’s really critical points of games,”
said Drach. “The 4 minutes before halftime
and the four minutes coming out of
halftime are probably the most important
events in football to set the tone either way.
And we won both of those four minute
periods. They went three and out in the
second half.”
With under four left before the break,
senior defensive back John Washington
decided Wilkes was not up by enough,
and snagged a pass from the Widener
quarterback, scoring a 67-yard touchdown
on an interception.
“So we knew when those times came to
perform and separate ourselves from the
competition, we did that,” said Washington.
“I feel like we stepped up.”
Opening up the half, the Colonels
started cooking early as junior running
back Elijah Jules opened the half with a 72yard touchdown.
“This game is a lot of fuel off emotions,
so you kind of see where we started
scoring,” said Jules. “We got them down on
themselves and we capitalized.”
A few drives later, Widener came back,
scoring on a nine yard pass—leaving
Wilkes up by a smidge over two scores.
A strong fourth quarter drive gave
the Colonels a comfortable lead on the
scoreboard with junior wide receiver
Xavier Powell rushing for a 30-yard
touchdown.
Wilkes dominated the game and
celebrated their big win with the packed
stadium.
The Colonels return to the field on
Saturday at Lebanon Valley College with a
1 p.m. kickoff.

Three from TA Involved in Project
BY PAT IRISH
Three Tunkhannock High
School seniors are involved in
Project Upward Bound at
Wilkes College. Matt Walen and
Pat Irish were the first THS
students in the program, having
been selected in AprH, 1973.
Rose Mary Gorski was accepted
in time for a six-week program
this summer. _
Upward Bound is defined as
an educational, social and
cultural program for high
school juniors and seniors whose
families' economic and educa
tional resources are limited.
Acting to motivate the students,
the project helps with tutoring
and activities to supplement the
individual's experiences. The
main aim of the program is to
guide the student toward a
post-secondary education.
During President Lyndon B.
Johnson's War on Poverty in the
1960*s, people became aware
that the school system does not
meet the needs of students on a
lower economic level, and that
the socio-economic background
of the students has a direct
bearing on their achievement.
To correct the balance of educa
tion and inequality, several acts
were passed by Congress.
From these acts came the
Higher Education Act of 1965
and the Upward Bound project.
The present director is Sister
Barbara Craig, who taught
foreign languages at College
Misericordia. Helping her are
secretary Peggy Hutsko, assist
ant Shawn. Murphy and Ed
Johnson.
For the present 54 students,
there have been many ac
tivities. A few of them have
been to a Hnancial aid seminar
at Wilkes, a week end at Camp
Acahela in the Poconos, a trip to
Bloomsburg State College and
Fair, and a communications
workshop and tour of the
Wilkes-Barre Campus of Penn

■'They were looking for practical
applications of theory- that can easily
be (ransferred and duplicated In oth

Counselor Tom Thomas, who devel
oped the program.
The Wilkes program is run so efficlenUy that it can serve 125 stu

CHS Students Move Forward With UPWARD BOUND
While most kids arc spending their summer vacationing, working for some extra
money, or just taking a well-deserved break, others arc taking advantage of that time to
prepare themselves for the upcoming school year—and having a great lime doing it!
Wilkes University's Upward Bound summer program lakes place over a six-week
period during June and July. In addition to participating in three academic classes, there
arc special interest classes, like theatre and an, and volunteer placenxmis at such places as
the YMCA, CYC, and lhe American Red Cross. During the afternoons and evenings,
I students take pan in small counseling group sessions and various sports activities.
Although lhe program is only on weekdays, students move into a dorm at the
University in order to have the full college experience. The students arc allowed to retum
home on the weekends, in addition io visitaiion nighis in which friends and fknily can ccxnc
io see the students in lheir college environmenL
In addiiion to the summer, Upward Bound continues its program ihroughoui the school
year. One night a week, students meet for classes, tutoring, S.A.T. preparation, and help
with college application and financial aid.
Informalion about the Upward Bound program can be obtained in the guidance office.
Pictured are Coughlin's participants in the program—first row, left to right—Tammy

----I've been told many times that one voice can't make a
difference, and that fighting for what's right should be
left up to those with names to remember. However if I
believed that kind of nonsense, this letter would never
get written.
Project Upward Bound is on the chopping block, and
Congress is deciding whether education programs for
the underprivileged are causing too many headaches for
匹

-rteens see that
education is important and that learning gives you
power, after all these programs don't affect those of us
already in the workforce. However, in the long rrun
anytime you cut education you*re cutting your own
throat
Upward Bound is a voice that gives hope, and pro)
romises that with effort and hard work you can be a colie

Anne Thomas, director of Project Upward Bound at
Wilkes UNversitv and al】 the staff and teachers
that

be commended and helped to continue this goal of keep)ung people in school, and off the streets.

to grow up and getout of the house. I had no idea how

�The ChangiEig View of Intelligence:
Implications for Compensatory Education
By Thomas J. Thomas, Jr.
Abstract
Thomas J. Thomas, Jr. is
Program Counselor and History
Instructor of the Wilkes University
Upward Bound. Program. Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania. Mr. Thomas has been, on
the staffsofthe Wilkes University Upward.
Bound Program since 1979.
Spring 1992
TRIO personnel hauegenerally operacedfrom, the assumption thacpast
academic performance is only one
indicator of intelligence. Recent re
search on. the nature of intelligence
provides the evidence we require to
support this view.
The author introduces some of the
research relevant to a broader con
ception of intelligent behauior and
explores options Jbr incorporating
theseJindings in. our work with stu
dents. Readers are encouraged co
consider these studies and create
additional options appropriate to
specific programs.
COUNSELING RECORD:
NAME: Ruth A.
Ninth Grade GPA: 2.54
••Summer. 1988
Metwith Ruth for career guidance.
Discussed her
er performance
pe
(3.3 in
10th grade) and asked her inter
pretation ofsuch improvement. She
described how. at the end of 9th
grade, she saw the seniors at
graduation who were in the National
Honor Society—he "loved those
neat gold cords." After finding out
what they were, she decided she
wanted to wear them when she
graduated.
So this pastyear she remained In
college prep and took the same
classes as the "smart kids." She
also thought this would help her to
become an engineer.
••Fall. 1988
Ruth stopped by to ask me to
review her speech for President of
Student Government. Talked briefly
about Advanced Placement classes
next year in school.
••Spring, 1989
Met with Ruth to discuss her
college plans. She thinks her SAT
score of 740 (290 verbal) is too low
for someone wishing to be an engi
neer. I explained that one test score
is not necessarily an Indication of
her potential and she would have
more opportunities to take the exam.
She made Honor Society, though!
She almost forgot to tell me.
••Fall. 1989
Ruth is discouraged about ap
plying to engineering programs.
After all, she asked, how smart can
she be if, after three attempts, her
board scores did not correspond
more closely with her friends who
had similar grades in school? I
pointed out that past performance
is the best indication of future
performance. We also discussed
the significance of her leadership
roles both in school and in Upward
Bound—as well as President of Stu
dent Government.
••Spring. 1990
Rudi will attend Penn State Uni
versity. She is still doubtful of her
ability to do college work because of
her low SATs. I reminded her that
"dumb" students don't get a B in
Calculus and A's in Advanced
Chemistry II and Advanced Physics
II. And they don't graduate with
-gold cords."
I concluded our session by telling
her how impressed I was by the
methodical way she achieved her
academic goals. Including mem
bership in the National Honor So
ciety. I reminded her that this was
indeed a measure of a high level of
intelligence and that she could be
come a successful student in col
lege. She did not appear convinced.
Does this report sound familiar?
Like many educators associated
with compensatory programs, you.
too. may have long assumed a
broader concept of intelligence
even if this position was anchored
�more in faith than in research. Some
even argue that the very Idea of
equal access to higher education Is
rooted in the socio-economic and
cultural traditions within the study
of intelligence.
The time may be right to consider
formally how our students might
benefit from the expanding view of
what constitutes intelligence. Re
cently. the NCEOA Journal intro
duced readers to one such proposal
with Howard Gardner's Theory of
Multiple Intelligences (Grow. 1987).
Professor Robert J. Stemberg of
Yale University also has proposed
an expanded view of intelligence
with his Triarchic Theory (Trotter.
1986). Their research seeks to res
cue ,'intelligence" from the confines
"The time may be
right to consider
formally how our
students might
benefit from the
expanding view
of what consti
tutes intelligence.n
of fixed IQ and to elevate other
aspects of Intelligent behavior to a
level worthy of study alongside
■"academic intelligence." And it Is
here, in the relationship between
■practical" and academic Intelli
gence. that we find special signifi
cance fbr compensatory education
(Neisser. 1979).
The Role of ig in Identifying
Students for Compensatory
Programs
To what extent do we use IQ tests
or 引milarly constructed Instru
ments when selecting students to
receive compensatory services?
What leads us to conclude that an
6
applicant is an "underachiever"?
What does the relationship between
IQ. or other standardized instru
ments. and GPA really tell us? Ad
mittedly. these are broad questions,
but the answers affect the students
selected to receive services, as well
as those not chosen.
TRIO programs have tended to go
beyond the constraints of test re
sults when Judging an applicant's
potential to profit from our services.
Guidance counselors and teachers
have provided us with valuable ob
servations that have often taken
into account factors such as moti
vation and persistence.
Therefore, as research continues
to support a more elastic definition
of intelligence, we should be ready
to incorporate instruments designed
specifically to measure "beyond IQ"
(Stemberg, 1985). Meanwhile, we
could benefit from research show
ing how intelligence is manifested
in activities beyond classroom ex
aminations. We could specify the
kinds of student-behavior that in
dicate potential: or we could develop
recommendation forms that lead
counselors and teachers to make
the kinds ofobservations that reflect
an expanded view of intelligence.
Preparing Students for a Novel
Experience
If mental self-management is the
primary goal ofour intelligence, then
the implications reach far beyond
the classroom. Measuring this as
pect of intelligence involves ob
serving our attempts to deal with
novelty. A new situation or problem
requires us to draw upon our ex
periences while simultaneously
searching for new constructs in
order to find possible solutions. For
our members, college is that novel
experience demanding appropriate
responses In order to succeed.
Consider the following examples of
how some of our members re
sponded to this novel experience.
Gary, the seventh ranked student
In his high school class, had ad
vanced science courses and S.A.T.
scores of over L100. Six years later
he barely earned a degree because
his attempts to solve famiiy\x | j|
personal problems were anythin/, $
but successful. In fact, to an Impartial observer. It would appear as if i
Gary Intentionally constructed
barriers to his own success.
Marie entered college with a fine
record In high school and S.A.T.
scores over 1200. Distracted by
personal problems and poor deci
sion-making. she finished her first
semester with a below average
record. In her second semester, she
allowed personal problems to In- i
lensify the strain in her family re
lationships, and attempted to escape
them through alcohol. She never
returned for her sophomore year.
Tammy. Marie's classmate, had a
similar high school record butS.A.T.
scores only slightly above average. ,
Despite personal problems and a
stressful family situation, she
earned her undergraduate degree
with honors and a master's degree
from a prestigious university. Al
though their academic differences
appeared slight, the outcome was
understandable to teachers who :
worked with these students. You
see. although it could not be mea
sured in classroom examinations,
Tammy "had her act together."
These experiences represent the
important relationship between
practical and academic intelligence.
Tammy's success demonstrates
Ulric Neisser's definition of practicalintelligence: "responding appro
priately in terms ofone's long-range
and short-range goals, given the
actual facts of the situation as one
discovers them" {qtd. in Wagner &
Stemberg. 1985). Meanwhile. Gary
and Marie are examples of "aca
demic intelligence" without the full
support of its practical side.
Intelligent behavior Ln this regard i
Is not easy to define, but we know it j
when we see it. Perhaps we recog
nize it most by its absence, such as
in those who lack common sense,
are poor decision-makers, or seem ：
to "have no brains." Many people ,
believe that intelligence in this re-,
gard is something you either have
or you don't. Professor Sternberg's
studies of tacit-knowledge are
challenging that belief
NCEOA Journal
�-. .
facit-Knowledge Can Be Taught
Tacit-knowledge includes those
■tactics." though seldom cirticulated.
that allow us to succeed In various
environments. For example, tacitknowledge leads us to conduct our
selves diiTerently at a philharmonic
than at a rock concert. Tacitknowledge is the knowledge that
efiective teachers possess and uti
lize. but is difTlcultto develop within
teacher training programs. Tacitknowledge is used by students to
decide how much (or little) effort to
apply to a course in order to get by
with a passing grade. Tacit-knowl
edge also plays an important role
for a first-generation college student
who must make the transition from
high school to college.
Therefore, I propose that the less
academically prepared fbr college a
student is. the more important
practical intelligence becomes.
Academically prepared students
have more room fbr poor judgment
and more time to adjust before the
consequences become serious. If
we suppose, in the above example,
that Gary's past performance was
slightly below average, or Tammy
lacked the practical "sense" to uti
lize a support system and to keep
personal problems in perspective,
their experiences may have been
quite difierenc
Compensatory education pro
grams have generally been suc
cessful in preparing members for
the interpersonal and intrapersonal
transition to college. We mediate
the higher education experience for
our members during campus visits,
pre-college summer residential
programs, and personal counsel
ling sessions during the flrstyear or
two of matriculation. Many pro
grams oiler group counseling ses
sions. classes, or seminars designed
to prepare members directly for their
transition to college. Research on
improving tacit-knowledge may
prove valuable in our attempt to

sCrating the relationship of tacitknowledge to Job performance.
Howard Gardner and Robert
Stemberg have developed a program
that improves school performance
by directly teaching the knowledge
that is usually only implied in the
curriculum (Stemberg et al.. 1990).
This "Practical Intelligence for
School" Program (PIFS). which as
similates their Multiple Intelligences
and Triarchic Theories. may provide
us with an additional model to guide
those students experiencing aca
demic difficulty.
Research on practical intelligence
may also prove useful to our aca
demic guidance components. For
example, findings suggest that In
telligent people learn to capitalize
on their strengths and compensate
for their weaknesses (Stemberg.
1988). Assisting our members to do
this is a major objective of career
guidance. Seen this way. the choice
of a career is viewed as selecting the
environment where our personal
and academic strengths can maxi
mize our chance fbr success. At the
very least, our students should re
alize the role that formal schooling
plavs in helping them compensate
for their weaknesses.
Metacognition: The Bridge
Between Academic and
Practical Intelligence
...__
__一 of the classroom, the
In or out
common denominator of intelligent
behavior is metacognition, the
f
higher order mental processes> we
utilize to monitor our thinking.
Some classroom examples include
monitoring and controlling of our
attitudes and attention, and execu
tive control of behavior as it relates
to academic activities (Marzano et
al., 1988). Metacognitive processes
in general include recognizing the
existence of a problem, defining the
problem, developing a plan to solve
the problem, and monitoring the
solution (Sternberg. 1988).
Therefore, teaching our students
to monitor their thinking may pro
vide us with the bridge between the
classroom and their ~real world."
While the types of problems differ
teaching our
students to moni
tor their thinking
may provide us
with the bridge
between the
classroom and
their 'real
world.，n
significantly, intelligent classroom
behavior can be related to intelligent behavior in life situations.
Helping our students to understand
this relationship may motivate some
to monitor their problem-solving in
both academic and practical situa
tions.
Although our study skills semi
nars have been successful in en
couraging Intelligent academic
behavior, they seldom go far enough
to improve metacognition. Further,
some question whether the strate
gies often taught in -study skills"
courses transfer to learning situa
tions ttiat differ even slightly from
the context in which they were in
troduced.
Teaching Thinking Skills
Perhaps It is the direct instruc
tion of thinking skills which has the
greatest potential for incorporating
recent findings in Intelligence re
search. It is also the area that
requires the greatest commitment
of time and energy. If intelligence
can be Improved through direct instniction. and there is much to
suggest that it can. does it have a
place In compensatory education
programs?
There are reasons why we ought
to consider making thinking skills
instruction available to our mem
bers. At the secondary school level,
few students have die option of
participating in suchi a course,
School districts are already hard
7
Spring 1992
�pressed to satisfy content require
ments. and their complex adminis
trative structures discourage such
initiatives. Compensatory programs
not only avoid these pressures, but
also offer the advantages ofa smaller
student-io-teacher ratio.
Programs with academic compo
nents have several options to explore
for incorporating_ instruction In
thinking skills. ~
This instruction
can be integrated into existing study
skills courses or in academic sub
ject areas. The latter approach
would lead us to make compensatoiy education more than a review
(or preview) of what is learned in
school. The coordination and
teacher in-service training will be
worth the effort if it leads to an
academic experience that empha
sizes the application of knowledge
learned in a classroom.
Finally, the option exists to offer
our members a separate course in

cation have been

ter of a century."
_ skills
instruction
thinking
(Sternberg. 1986). The significant
time commitment requires a care
ful decision and may make it im
practical for many of our programs.
However, familiarity with packaged
programs may also lead to creative
approaches to the problem. Any
one contemplating such a step will
benefit from articles, some by the
researchers themselves, that pro
vide a detailed discussion of the
3
programs available (Marzano el a!..
1988: Sternberg & Bhana, 1986).
Conclusion
I have suggested several areas in
which recent Intelligence research
may benefit our member students.
These recommendations serve pri
marily to encourage readers to ex
plore the options for helping our
members to improve their ability to
identify intelligent behavior in the
context ofboth academic and prac
tical 引 tuations.
TRIO staff and students can be
encouraged that several recent -re
forms" in education have been
standard procedure in our programs
for a quarter of a century. Smaller
class size, a more productive stu
dent-counselor relationship, and
the emphasis on applied knowledge
are a few of TRIO's basic services
that the education community has
recognized as necessary ingredients
for success in our schools.
Perhaps the most obvious contri
bution that TRIO has made Is in the
area of high school-college articu
lation. Because TRIO has been
bridging the gap between high
school and college for more than
two decades, our students did not
have to wait until now to benefit
from the myriad of programs that
seek to attract them to their cam
puses.
With this tradiUon in mind, it is
clear that we need not hesitate to
search for ways to Integrate the
findings of intelligence researchers
into our educational components.
For whom would we be waiting?

�PROJECT
UPWARD
BOUND —
A Modern
Coming
of Age
bj Ann* Graham 70
If David Copperfield were
suddenly dropped from the literary
heavens into present day Wyoming
Valley, he no doubt would be
recruited to become a member of
Project Upward Bound at Wilkes
College. David epitomizes the
youth who is served by Project
Upward Bound; he is the
promising student who has not
been afforded all the advantages
of middle-class and upper miadleclass society. He is eager to learn,
waiting to be directed, and
enthusiastic despite hardships and
setbacks. Like David, the typical
Upward Bound student needs a
mentor to help him believe in
himself, to realize his potential,
and io take his place in the world.
Of course. David founo his Aunt
Betsy Trotwood, who guided him.
supported him, and Jcsterea his
growth. Those special people —
WILKES COl.I.EC；!： yf ARTERLY
the Betsy Trotwoods of the
world — are still
■ " with
"" us, but
because of the changes in society,
generated by modernization, the
family support system is
sometimes not adequate, not
sophisticated enough to deal with
the maze coming of age has
become. Through agencies and
special services the government
nas become the aoting aunt ot the
young David's of the twentieth
century. This support is positive,
energetic, and hopeful for the
society that ministers it and the
youth who receives it.
Typically, Wilkes College has
been involved actively in serving
the needs of this community, and
in 1967 the College agreed io host
a newly funded Project Upward
Bound, a remedial and
motivational program designed to
offer support and encouragement
to eligible high school students. In
the nation, Project Upward Bound
itself has become one of the most
successful federally funaed
activities; the program located at
Wilkes is no exception. In reacning
the dual goals of students
succeeding in high school ana of
students pursuing education after
high scnool the program at Wilkes
has served nearly six hundred
students. Since its inception 100%
of students who remain in the
program graduated from high
school, diiu
and binue
since 1973 at least
75% of graduating
graduatinc seniors go on
to post-secondary education. Many
of these are students who often
would be easily "overlooked" by
the system — the underachiever,
the late olossomer, the students
beset by family or personal
difficulties.
Furthermore, the program offers
ii>e near 10% high
one remedy to the
_
school drop out rate in Luzerne
County.* Also, a recent survey
done by Luzerne County
Community College ana Luzerne
County Counselor Association has
if of
-* graduating
shown ------------that only 57%
seniors in the
" area plan to go on to
some type of post-secondary
education. The program is aDle to
augment the efforts of guidance
counselors in motivating more
students to enroll in colleges and
schools. Further, the services
extended to the students can be
highly personalized and tailored to
their needs. In area high schools
the stuaent to guidance counselor
ratio is nigh, on the average 475
students to one counselor. In
Upward Bound tne ratio is sixty
students to one counselor; this is
especially important in the
students senior year when vital
decisions regarding college,
career, and financial aid are being
made. In addition to the program
counselor, the lull staff actively
fosters social and personal
development and maturity.
Counseling and role-modeling are
interwoven in a positive
atmosphere： the student is
affirmed in the program — even if
this affirmation exists nowhere
else.
Another important aspect of the
program is its year-round
operation. In the summer, when
many students drift away from
scnool, the Upward Bound student
is actively involved in a six-week
program on the Wilkes Campus.
The summer component offers
remedial work, developmental
studies, career guiaance, social
and recreational activities.
Students live on campus; this is
not only very.popular with
students, but it gives them an
opportunity to experience dorm
life — an important ingredient in
success if they choose to live
away from home after nigh school.
The opportunity to adjust and grow
on this personal level is just as
important as the academic
program. In the summer the
students spend time in the
classroom studying subjects that
they will be taking in their own
high schools in the fall. The
classes stress the "basics"—
reading, mathematics,
composition, and study skills.
Some students need remedial,
individualized learning in a certain
subject such as reading. The
program also provides "challenge"
courses —for example,
independent stuay in creative
writing. In addition to academic
offerings, students also select life
skill courses such as decision
making, budgeting, CPR, and
public recreating. The YM/YWCA,
Kirby ParK,
Park, the weight room, the
SUB are all places that are livelier
on summer evenings because
Upward Bound is swimming,
playing softball, volleyball, having
an "Anything Goes," or dancing
the latest disco dance.
These activities are all geared to
produce thoughtful young men
and women who are serious aoout
pursuing a post-seconaary
education. After two or three years
with the program, students who
have finished their senior year are
ready to "bridge" during the
summer component. These
students enroll in two college
courses for credit; n is their first

taste of a true college challenge.
The experience prepares them for
the fall when they will be full-time
students, and it also measures the
program's success. After the
intensive course work the students
nave done during their
th
high school
_ program
years, the "bridge"
demonstrates the growth and
maturity they have achieved.
During the academic year
students are also involved in the
program. From September to May
students attend weekly classes in
the evening. These classes, like
the ones offc
fered in the summer
component, emphasize basic
academic skills. In addition,
classes designed to prepare
stuaents for College Boards offer
challenging ana practical
knowledge. Special activities
augment the studying; for
example, for Hallov/een the
students collected money for
UNICEF and then had a Halloween
party and dance.
Throughout the program the
students are tested, evaluated, and
placed at appropriate levels of
studying. This feature of
individualized learning geared to
the student's needs and ability is
not unique in education； however,
it is a theory that is difficult to
implement in large and impersonal
groups. The Project Upward Bound
faculty is a mixture of area high
school teachers. Wilkes
professors, and individuals from
the community. These educators
bring experience, concern, and
diverse backgrounds to the
program. The students* lives are
enriched culturally and socially, as
well as educationally, by
interacting with these teachers
who are truly interested in youth.
In yet another dimension, the
program provides cultural and
social enrichment for the
participants. One important goal of
the project is to encourage the
students to become well-rounded
individuals; the program does this
by traveling, by exposing them to
r>an> nvnarianr'ae
nn
new
experiences, hw
by ^hallanm
challenging
them to become involved in new
activities. Project Upward Bound
has logged thousands and
thousands of miles: the program
has traveled to New York,
Philadelphia, Cape May,
PittsDurgh, New England,
Lancaster, Gettysburg, Atlantic
City, Rochester, Corning — the list
goes on. For many of the students
the trips represent a first glimpse
of a world away from Northeastern
Pennsylvania. In addition to all the
miles and suitcases and fast-food
stops, each trip logs many “firsts”:
the first visit to a real zoo. the first
visit to an art museum, the first
Broadway show, the first — but
not the fast — time getting lost on
a bus with fony-some other
people.
Also, because tno stall comes
to ni
know UdUII
each 31UUUIH
student wall,
and
W U11, df.
because tha staff is aware of Ithe
many opportunities for youth,
many students have oeen able to
participate in such national and
state-wiae events as tno
Presidential Classroom in
Washington, D.C. and the
Governor's School for the Arts
at Bucknell.
Motivation is another important
factor in fostering growth in
adolescents. Many tlrimes students
are caught up in the ;all-consuming
present, but as they develop in the
program they learn that tomorrow
is shapea by the planning and
decision-making skills and
valuaoie college entrance and
financial aid preparation. Seniors
are eligible to go on Project
Upward Bound sponsored college
visits to about ten different
campuses throughout
Pennsylvania. When seniors have
tne opportunity to visit schools
and see first-hand what they could
be learning and doing, they are all
the more eager to succeed.
Of course, motivation Is never
truly achieved until it becomes
self-motivation. The program,
which is funded entirely by the
Federal government, challenges
the students, shifts imponant
decisions towards the student, and
encourages responsible and
mature behavior. Somev/here in
the time spent with the program
each student comes to realize that
he is accountable and in charge of
his actions. When this "dawning"
comes, the student has succeeded
and, more Importantly, will
continue to succeed.
In conclusion, there is no
concluding that can be done.
Although students graduate from
the program, they continue to
return with college transcripts,
with news of their careers, with
their chilaren. So to draw the full
circle, we are back to David
Copperfield, who wondered in the
beginning "whether I shall turn out
to be the hero of my life." Quite
simply. Upward Bound believes
that our students are the heroes
and heroines of their own lives
and they come to believe this too.

College Going, Persistence, and
Completion Patterns in Higher Education:
What Do We Know?
Cecilia Ottinger
Upcoming demographic changes and inaeased legislative interest have made it essential for higher education
administrators to focus oh new trends in the persistence and completion patterns of college students. The first key
ins tit
issue faced by postsecondary institutions
is that the pool of traditional college-age youth (18-to-24 year olds) is
changing.

percent.
Historically, white 18-to-24 year olds have been the most likely cohort to begin and complete college education,
however, by 2025, minorities are expected to comprise 40 percent of all college-age youth. These trends indicate that
higher education will have to exert greater effort to increase the college attendance, and successful graduation of
different types of students.
Secondly, colleges and universities are being held more accountable by various levelsof government. One in two
undergraduates now receives financial aid to attend college. State and federal legislators want to know the outcomes
for these students, particularly now when governments are■ experiencing budget
'
problems
''
which create more
lollars contribute to the next wgeneration of educated
competition for funds. Taxpayers want to see how their tax d(
persons. Many state legislators see links between the level of taxpayer support for public education and the pros
pects of long-term economic prosperity for the state. Together, these and other concerns indicate the need to focus
on what we know about college entry and persistence in our college and universities.
This research brief reviews and analyzes national data on college going, persistence and graduation.
HIGHLIGHTS
• The majority of 1980 high school graduates who
enrolled in postsecondary
postseconda^ education did not
enter in the traditional pattern.
pat
• Who attains a degree is influenced not only by
intellectual ability but also by socioeconomic
status. 1980 high school seniors of high ability
but low socioeconomic means were not as likely
to attain a bachelors degree as are their counter
parts from higher income families.
• African Americans and Hispanics are more likely
to enter college on the nontraditional path, and
they disproportionately enroll in two-year and
less than two-year institutions. African Ameri
cans and low-income students are the most "atrisk" in terms of dropping out of college.
• African Americans and Hispanics are less likely
to persist for four years in college or to earn a
bachelor's degrees.
Overall,
v_*verau, siua
students are taking longer to attain
bachelor's degrees.
• Half of the 1980 high school graduates who
started college on track "stopped out" of college
at some point in their educational experience.
Cecilia Ottinger is an Assistant Director al the American Council on Education (ACE) and Editor of the ACE Research Brief Series.
�INTRODUCTION
IMPLICATIONS
• College persistence rates and bachelors degree
attainment rates are lower for Atrican Americans
and Hispanics. If colleges hope to improve the
retention and graduation rates of those students,
better programs should be developed to address
the academic and environmental barriers these
groups face.
Because students follow diverse paths to the
completion of study, a variety of issues must be consid
ered in examining their goals.
• Improved mechanisms should be developed for
increasing access and retention for minorities and
low-income students.
® How soon after high school graduation do stu
dents enroll in postsecondary education?
The key questions guiding this inquiry are：
• Who enrolls in college after high school gradu
ation?
• What are the characteristics of students who
enter collegeona "traditional path" and of those
who enter on a "nontraditional path"?
® Further research should address the issue of why
relatively few students of high ability .and low>m college.
income are persisting and graduating froi
° Who persists?
• Better cooperation should be developed between
two- and four-year institutions to increase the
number of communitj
lity college students who successfully transfer ana
.
id attain
bachelor's degrees.
• Who stops out or drops out of college?
9 How many eam an associate's or bachelors
degree in 5 1/2 years?
® More programs should be developed to increase
the completion rates of students who enter college
on the nontraditional path.
9 Which types of programs are most successful in
retaining and graduating students?

�Timing of College Entry
The majority (52 percent) of 1980 high school
graduates did not pursue any type of postsecondary
education immediately after high school.
• Slightly less than half of 1980 high school gradu
ates (48 percent) entered postsecondary institu-tions immediately after high school (table 2).
Academic ability and socioeconomic status also
influence the timing of college entry. The higher the
sociocconomicstatusand academic ability the greater the
likelihood of immediate postsecondary entry (table 2).
• Eighty-five percent of 1980 graduates of both
high ability and high socioeconomic status at
tended college immediately, compared to78 per
cent of high-ability youth from iow-income
families (NCES, 1989b).
° Women high school graduates were somewhat
more likely than mento

institutions immediately (51 percent vs. 45 per
cent).
College Going: Traditional Path vs.
Non-Traditional Path
The pattern of immediate postsecondary entry also
varied by race/ethnicity:
® Among 1980 high school graduates, Asia ns were
the most likely group to enter college immedi
ately after high school graduation (76 percent).
The traditional perception of college attendance is
that students entera four-year college in the fall immedi
ately after high school graduation, study full-time for
four consecutive years, and then graduate. Other pat
terns of study — especially initial enrollment at a twoyear college — are now acceptable and common but, as
the HS&B study demonstrates, students who follow a
nontraditional path are put at some disadvantage.
However, with the exception of Asians, minorities
• •, j
，
were less likely than whites
in the 1980 “
graduating
class
to enter postsecondary education immediately after high
school graduation.
Yet, as is evident from the HS&B data, the majority
of 1980 high school graduates did not fit the traditional
pattern.
• Less than three out of ten 1980 high school
graduates (29 percent) attended1 college
collej in the
traditional way, as defined here (figure
("
1).
• Forty-two percent of African American high
school graduates entered college immediately,
as did 39 percent of Hispanics and 34 percent of
Native Americans; in comparison, 50 percent of
whites exhibited this pattern.

bachelors degree as of May 1984.
This categorization offers a measure of how many
students maintain continuous enrollment, in the tradi

• Asians who started colk

giy higher rate than
whites (61 percent vs. 56 percent).
• Both African American and Hispanic students
who started on the traditional path were some
what less likely to persist than whites (44 percent
and 42 percent, respectively).
• Persistence also varied by socioeconomic status.
Sixty percent of high-SES 1980 high school
graduates who started on the traditional path
persisted four years. In comparison, only 42
percent of low-SES persisters followed this pat
tern.
• The higher the level of ability and SES the more
likely students wereto
' persist. For example, 65
percent of high ability and high-SES 1980 gradu
ates persisted through academic yearl 983-84. In
comparison, 51 percent of those of high ability
and low-SES persisted through academic year
1983-84 (NCES, 1989b).

ability were much less likely to persist than their
white counterparts (38 percent vs. 63 percent

college on the traditional path "stopped out" of college at

(figure 3),
• Males were somewhat more likely to stopout
than females (53 percent vs. 48 percent).
DROPOUTS
"Dropouts" for purposes or this study are students
who enrolled in college on the traditional path but left
college and had not returned by February 1986.
• More than one-quarter of 1980 high school
graduates who entered college on the tradi
tional path dropped out (26 percent) (Carroll,
1989).
There is a considerable amount of literature that
attempts to predict which students will drop oout. Students drop out for a number of reasons indudi
ding
„ academic, personal and financial factors. Factors such as
race and socioeconomic status have also been associated
with dropping out of college (Clewell and Ficklen, 1986).
These same patterns were evident for 1980 high school
graduates.
° African American students were more likely to
dropout than any other racial group. For ex
ample, 33 percent of African American 1980
high school graduates who started college on
the traditional path had dropped out by 1986,

compared to the 18 percent of Asi
so.

Given the variety of college going patterns exhibited by 1980 high school graduates, a key concern is how
lapy of these students who entered poslsecondary institutions completed a bachelo/sd egree. However, it should
be noted that not all students who entered college were
aiming for a four-year degree.
�* Overall, less than one out of five of all 1980 high
school graduates had attained a bachelors degree by 1986 (19 percent).
, Among 1980 high school graduates who started
college on the nontraditional path, those from
highSESbackgrounds were more likely toattain
a bachelors degree than were low-SES gradu
ates (19 percent vs. 4 percent).

entered college
the traditionalrpatt
„ in -----------------..ttem earned
a bachelors degree by 1986 (53 percent) (Carroll,
1989).
The likelihood of attaining a bachelors degree
also depended on the characteristics of students* college
going experiences.
• Overall, only 9 percent of 1980 high school
graduates who entered college on the
nontraditional path earned bachelor's degrees.
• Thirty-nine percent of stopouts earned bachelo/s
degrees by 1986. (Carroll, 1989).
• Persisters — those who started college immediately and maintained continuous enrollment —
were the most likely group to earn bachelor's
degrees by 1986. Among those 1980 high school
graduates who persisted, 74 percent attained
bachelors degrees by May 1986.
• Only 34 percent of those who shifted from fulltime to part-time study earned bachelors de
grees by 1986.
• The least likely groups <o attain a bachelors
degree were students who attended two-year or
less-than two-year institutions. Many of them, it
must be acknowledged, never intended to work
toward a bachelors degree.
Degree attainment also varied by race/ethnicity,
ability and socioeconomic factors.
• About one-third of African Americans and His
panics who started on the traditional path had
attained bachelors degrees by 1986 (33 percent
and 31 percent, respectively).
PROFILE OF TWO-YEAR

• Overall, 25 percent of 1980 high school gradu
ates had entered a hvo-year public institution
by 1986 (NCES, 1989b).

high school graduates of high-SES background
who entered college in the traditional pat"
pattern
earned a bachelors degree compared to 28J percent of those from low-SES backgrounds iwho
entered in the traditional manner. (NCES, 1989b)
• Thirteen percent of 1980 high school gradu
ates entered public two-year institutions im

�SUMMARY
The national data from the High School and Beyond
study indicate several key factors about who is most
likely to finish college in 5 1/2 years, who is least likely
to attend in a traditional pattern, who persists and who
drops out of college. Generally, the results show that：
• Students who enter college in the traditional
pattern are more likely to persist and earn a
degree. However, the majority of 1980 high
school graduates did not attend college in this
fashion.
• African Americans and Hispanics have lower
rates of completion and higher rates of dropping
out than do Asians and whites. Both the former
groups are likely to enter college in the
nontraditional fashion.
• Socioeconomic status still affects persistence
even when ability is taken into account.
Below is a summary of retention data for the
state of Tennesse, which shows that "some of" the same
patterns of the college experience are found on the state
level.
STATEWIDE RETENTION DATA:
TENNESSEE
In 1984, Tennessee enacted its Education Reform
Act. A component of this legislation established a goal of

reviewed at two, three, four, five and six year intervals to
determine if they have completed their goals. Findings
for the 1984 freshmen class include:
• The majority of the 1984 freshmen took more
than 4 years to complete their college education
from the admitting institutions.
• Twelve percent of 1984 freshmen class gradu
ated with a bachelors degree within four years.
• Eighteen percent of the 1984 class earned a col
lege degree in five years and 8 percent did so in
six years.
• Bachelors degree attainment rates for African
Americans in Tennessee were less than that of
whites (23 percent vs. 40 percent).
• Overall, thecompleti

What Works?
If higher education is to address the issue of college
persistence and attainment, institutions must develop
their programs and practices
actices to meet the
tl special needs of
aitu minority
.i.uiority students and
an those who enter
low-income and
college in the nontraditional fashion.
Clewell and FickJen (1986) indicated that the ele
ments of a successful retention program include: explicit
university policy, a high level of institutional commit
ment, a substantial institutionalization of the program,
comprehensive services, dedicated staff, systematic collection of data, monitoring and follow-up, strong faculty
support, and nonstigmatization of participants.
The institutional case studies below illustrate all or
some of these aforementioned components.
MOUNT SAINT MARY'S COLLEGE—
DOHENY CAMPUS
Mount Saint Maryas College in Los F
Angeles
is a
»v umicj/o lilzcial STtS CO1
small CuthuliC
Catholic women's
liberal
college. The
institution's main carimpusisin West Los Angeles (i.e. the
Chalon campus) anc
id houses the baccalaureate degree
program.
In 1962, Mount Saint Mary's opened a two-year
program in downtown Los Angeles, which is the Doheny
Campus. This campus has been extremely successful in
enrolling and graduating minority women. Many of the
young women who enter the associate degree program
are first generation college attendees, and considered
"high-risk" students. Many of these students have had
poor or less than adequate academic preparation in high
school, or are immigrants with English language diffi
culties. The principal criterion foradmission to the Asso
ciate of Arts degree program at Mount Saint Mary's
College is for students to demonstrate the potential for
success.

�In 1989, Mount Saint Mary's College conducted a
study to assess their two-year associate program and to
develop a model which describes and explains the pro
gram. The key finding of the study was that:
The most important component of the Mount Saint
Mary's College program at the Doheny campus is the

一' commustrong commitment
off '
the
entire
nity to the successful education of minority women.
The strategies used in the minority advancement
program at Mount Saint Mar/s College include:
SUPPORTIVE CAMPUS CLIMATE
* Both students and faculty considered the warm
and caring campus climate which encourages
studying and learning the most important factor
contributing to student persistence and success.
® The campus climate is characterized as warm,
trusting and generally caring. There is an active
concern for student's needs which involves ai
af
firming each studenfs talents, abilities and skills.
Counseling services are provided to assist each
student in developing
doping a strong sense of self.
Wayne State is an urban institution geared toward
students who are employed. Twenty-five percent of the
total curriculum and 30 percent ofundergraduatecourscs
are offered in the lateafternoon and evening. Only about
half of the students attend full-time.
Regular admission to WSU requires a 2.75 high
school GPA. The majority of students ore admitted on
this criterion. Wayne State University also utilizes a
bridge program in order to close the educational gap for
students who do not meet the institution's criteria. These
programs include extended classes covering required
tT‘一~'learning
---- ---------------•• •
material, tutoring,
laboratories,
collaborative
study
二—；and
一一.3 intrusive counseling. These programs are
geared to those students who might be particularly
vulnerable to academic failure.
WSU offersan outreach program for students ineli
gible for regular admission. Once students complete 24
to 30 credits in special format classes, they may transfer
toother colleges within theinstitution through the Project
350 program. The program supports these students for
three years with summer bridge programs, skills instruc
tion and tutoring. It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of
these students graduate from a postsecondar)' institu
tion. This graduation rate exceeds that of many regularly
admitted students at WSU and urban univeraities.
ADEQUATE ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICE
® Financial aid and the assistance of the Admis
sions office are other major factors in recruiting
students.
• The academic support services include diagnos
tic testing and placement, which identifies each
studenfs strengths and weaknesses. Students
are also given reliable academic advisement
which is closely monitored.
GENERAL STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Students are provided with an extensive network
of support services including support and understand
ing for the varying multicultural perspectives on cam
pus. Career services are also provided.
WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY
Wayne State University which in 1956 came under
state control has achieved excellent local education par
ticipation rates. This is due in part to the location of the
• institution, its links with public schools, and its long
standing commitment to providing educational opportunities to a diverse student body.
KINGSBOROUGH
COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Kingsborough Community College (KCC) is lo
cated in Brooklyn, New York. The New Start program
was initiated in 1985; it is designed to assist students
facing dismissal at four-year institutions and to give
them a second chance.
After referral by a four-year institution, students
who enroll in the program are admitted to KCC in good
academic standing and are permitted to apply up to
t 30
""
previously earned credits toward an associate's de*
书ree.
In addition, the students are assigned
a counselc
o
. lor to
assist them with academic transfer, career and personal
concerns, and make appropriate referrals to on-and offcampus support sen'ices.
A total of 1560 students from eleven colleges par
ticipated in New Start during its first six years with
enrollments increasing from 51 in fall 1985 to 610 in
spring 1991. Most enrollment was concentrated in the
fields of Liberal Arts, Business Administration, and Ac
counting. By the end of s^~~~

spring 1991, approximately
25
percent of all New Startt students had graGu*
graduated from
KCC or transferred to four year- institutions; 46，percent
were planning to continue at KCC after springj 1991.

IMPLICATIONS
Attainment Differences by
SES Background:
Students who enter college right after high school
and attend four year colleges are the most likely candi
jduate. Yet higher education since the 1960s
dates to graduate.
dramati<
has changed1 dramatically:
the college student of today
and those of the future — based on demographic trends
—are not likely to follow the traditional pattern. If
institutions hope to enroll, retain and assist these stu
dents in attaining their educational goals, they must be
more effective in addressing the particular needs of these
groups.
We also know from the data that many high ability
low-incomesrudentsare not completing their education.
This leads to several questions.
• Are student aid monies reaching those most in
need?
° How can institutions and low-income families
creatively address the problem associated with
financing their college education?
• What other mechanisms can institutions utilize
to address the needs of the economically disad
vantaged?
The analysis of college going behavior of 1980 high
school graduates illustrates the need for institutions to
answer several key questions related to the the low
attainment rates for minorities, students from low-in
come backgrounds,
kgrounds, and for those who did not attend
college in the traditional manner.
The fact that fewer minorities are attaining de
grees, coupled with the fact that the vast majority are
beginning their postsecondary education at less than
four-year institutions, are two issues that higher education must address.>.Po,n
*oz1 questions which rco.
Related
need to
be considered are：
• What strategies can be developed by two- and
four-year institutions to increase transfers?
® Is our society willing;to take the risks of future
bipolarization on the! Ibasis of race and socioeconomic factors?
• What role can colleges play in addressing the
needs of minority youth in college?
• What types of programs will assist students in
attaining their educational goals at two-year
institutions?
• What role will a multicultural curriculum play
in addressing these problems?
p
Only after we answer these1 questions and more

these issues
can higher education begin to increase the educational

1- The High School and Beyond Survey (HS&B) is a
nationallongitudinalstudyof 1980 highschoolseniors
and sophomores. The data base was developed by the
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the
U.S. Department of Education. Base year information
was collected on 28,000 high school seniors in 1980
and includes follow-up surveys of nearly 12,000 in
1982,1984and 1986. This paper presents data supplied
by 1980 high school graduates in the second and third
follow-ups which were conducted in 1984 and 1986.
The HS&B data base is a single source of information
on the generation of college students in the 1980s and
is probably the most complete national data base
available. The HS&B allows one to analyze the overall
patterns of college attendance and completion for a
national sample of students.

�"SHE DON'T LOOK LIKE NO NUN TO ME"
When we first found out that Matt Fliss was leaving us
to become the Director of Malabar, we almost cried.
Luckily
we overcame our sadness, despite the unfortunate things we
thought would be happening to us
We had a chance to meet the two people who would be
competing for Matt * s job.
The first was Mr, Hawk; the second
was a NUN, Sister Barbara Craig.
We were shocked to think
of what would happen to us if that NUN ever got the job.
But
to our surprise we all fell in love with the sweetest nun we'd
ever met.
When she walked into the room we could hear someone
whispering. "she don't look like no NUN to me.
When Sister Barb finally gotthe job officially, everyone
was looking forward to the sununer ahead.
When our summer first
started, we made sure we had our share of fun.
The only problem
was that we kind of misused it, so some of us had to have it
taken away for awhile.
We overcame that penalty and we hope you did too. Sister
Barb, because even though we did some pretty rotten things, you
always seemed to understand or at least try to anyway.
all truly grateful; for you've helped some
We are
us make up our
future plans when we really needed help.
So we dedicate these photo albums of our many adventures,
treasures# and joy of six weeks of bliss j
THANK YOU, SIS, for all the time and trouble you've spent
on every last one of us.
