The team has seven newplayers and six returners.

Lacrosse is a very physi-ally demanding sport, said

Lacrosse Team Co-Captain

Megan Longstreet 13. I wasoncerned that we would notbtain the numbers, but inhe end we had the additionf not only athletes who had

never played lacrosse, butalso students who have nev-r played a collegiate sport.Trailing behind Wells in the

first half, Co-Captain Jess Me-nard 13 scored the first goal ofhe game for the Phoenix off aree-position shot. Shortly af-er, Vanessa Whitfield 14 ranhe ball up the field to scorehe second goal for the home

eam. Menard scored the fi-

nal goal in the second half.I feel that our season has

taken off to a pretty goodstart, said player JennyMiller 14. The returningplayers are working hardand doing their best to en-courage the newer playersto help keep their heads upwhen games get frustrating.

Fans cheered throughoutthe game, even when the teamlooked defeated. The Phoenixlost to Wells 3-21. The team be-

lieves that they improve eachgame, regardless of the score.The Phoenix currently hasa record of 0-7, but they lookforward to opportunities to im-prove the rest of the season.

I believe that every personin the world faces adversi-ties, we all struggle, but thatswhat makes us strong, saidplayer Megan Foreacre 15.This season we have had ourshare of some expected andunexpected adversities. But Ihave every faith in my teamand I cant wait to see us be-come stronger and more uni-fied as the season progresses.

The Phoenix played a doubleheader game, meaning thePhoenix and Berks playedtwo games one after the oth-er. The Phoenix had many

fans cheering for them whenthey first took the field. MeganSchneck 14 batted first, bun-ting the ball to ground out at

first base. Two more outs were

quickly followed by the first.This did not defeat the Phoe-nix, and when Nicole Musser13 stepped up to the pitch-ers mound the team eagerlyfollowed her onto the field.

The Phoenix did not makeit onto the base until the topof the fifth inning when TaraFields 13 stepped up to bat.

After getting on first base,Fields tried to steal to secondbut got caught quickly andtagged out. The fans cheeredregardless if the team battedor fielded, and kept the spirit ofthe Phoenix alive. At the end ofthe game the Phoenix lost 0-7in the first game of the doubleheader and 1-3 in the second.

Their current season recordis 10-10, but they are not let-ting it affect their team morale.

Its only the begin-ning, I have no doubt wewill finish stronger thanwe started. Because thats

who we are, said Foreacre.

Dr. Susanne Mrozik spoke to amixed audience of campus and lo-al community members on Wed,

April 10 as the keynote speaker forhe 2013 Orr Forum. A feministcholar and Assoc. Prof .of Religiont Mt. Holyoke College in South

Hadley, Mass., Dr. Mrozik spenthree years as an ethnographern Sri Lanka, an island near theouthern tip of India, compiling re-earch on Theravada Buddhism.

This sect of Buddhism leads themovement to formally ordainBuddhist nuns, called Bhikkhuni.

Dr. Mroziks research providesnsight into an important event.Bhikkhuni have not been or-

ained for over a thousand years.Full ordination allows the nunshe right to establish monasticommunities under support ofhe government and Buddhist

monks. Two other forms of Bud-hism recognize a lesser status ofrdination of nuns: Mahayana in

Eastern Asia and Vajrayana inNepal, Tibet and the Himalayas.

This issue is controversial.Right now there are about 700-,000 Bhikkhunis and that num-er is growing, said Mrozik.Other Buddhist countries are

watching Sri Lanka now. There

is international pressure.Mrozik discussed some of

the barriers to the Bhikkhuni

in her two presentations, ARobed Revolution: Female Or-dination in Buddhism and Lovein a Buddhist Nuns Temple:Insights into Lay-MonasticRelationships in Sri Lanka.

It is illegal in Thailand to or-dain Bhikkhuni, but the womencome to Sri Lanka for their ordi-nation and then return to theirhomeland and begin a monas-tic community, said Mrozik.

Bhikkhuni also struggle withinconsistent support from theircommunity. The Buddhist monks

do not collectively support them,which makes it difficult for a quo-rum (the ritual needed for ordina-tion). The government does notrecognize their status and doesnot give them the same financialaid that Buddhist monks receive.

Individual monks and indi-vidual officials will support thenuns privately, but not in theirofficial capacities, said Mrozik.Monk temples will share oldtextbooks with them, but it isthe lay people who really valuewhat the nuns are doing and

who allow them to survive.

Student Ashley Per-kins 14 attended the forum.

Learning about Buddhistnuns in Sri Lanka was an ex-perience in itself, because youdont always hear about thenuns perpective; more commonlythe monk perspective is whatyou hear about, said Perkins.

THE BILLBOARD FACULTY4 THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2

Students scheduling classesor next semester will noticehat one-third of the profes-ors who teach those courses

have adjunct status. Adjunctnstructors are part-time em-

ployees of the institution andare hired on a contract-to-ontract basis. Wilsons reli-

ance upon adjuncts indicatesa growing trend of institutionshat use part-timers to fillheir faculty positions. Institu-ions gain benefits from hiring

adjunct instructors, but crit-cs charge that this practice

hurts the teaching profession,he adjuncts and the students.

According to the Ameri-an Association of University

Professors (AAUP) article,Looking the Other Way? Ac-

reditation Standards andPart-Time Faculty, As thenumbers of part-time facultyhave risen steadily over thepast two decades, questionshave inevitably arisen abouthe qualifications of individu-

als who work amid constanturnover and who are ap-

pointed at the last minute.Mary Hendrickson, Office of

he Dean, Vice President forAcademic Affairs and Dean ofFaculty, identifies the flexibili-y that adjuncts provide as onef their greatest assets. Their

emporary status is a necessaryondition of employment, sincemany adjuncts have full timeprofessions outside of Wilson.

Many of our adjuncts are

currently working or have re-tired from a profession. Theybring expertise into the class-room, said Hendrickson.

An anonymous student re-lates a different experience.

from her first adjunct instructor.It has been difficult. Incomparison to faculty thathave been here longer shelacks empathy and doesntunderstand how to handlethe classroom, said the stu-dent. Her teaching methodis confusing and she expectseveryone to be on her level.

Wilson College receives ac-creditation by Middle StatesCommission on Higher Educa-tion (MSCHE). Regardless ofa faculty members expertise,MSCHEs accreditation guide-

lines state that all facultymembers should be evaluated.According to their Require-ments of Affiliation and Stan-dards for Accreditation policy,Articulated and equitableprocedures and criteria for pe-riodic evaluation of all facultycontribute significantly to sus-taining an appropriate levelof growth and excellence.

The evaluation process fortenure-seeking professors(permanent positions with fullbenefits) requires three evalu-ations along Wilsons tenure

track, occurring after one,four and six years of employ-ment. Professors are reviewedin three areas: dedication toteaching, service to the in-

stitution and the communityand scholarship (research andsharing of knowledge with abroader audience). This pro-cess begins with the profes-sors colleagues and is final-

ized with a letter from thePresident of Wilson to theBoard of Trustees for a vote.

Wilsons evaluation processfor adjunct professors is lessstructured. The chairpersonof each department overseesthe adjuncts that instructfor them. Evaluations occurmostly when a problem arises.

Larry Shillock, Professorof English and Assistant Aca-demic Dean, who started as anadjunct professor at Wilson, ex-plains the concern over informalevaluations left to other faculty.

The faculty is verystretched. How well doeseach department superviseits adjuncts? said Shillock.

Critics of this evaluatingsystem say this practice de-grades the teaching profes-sion. Anonymous studentevaluations are the only feed-back that the institution re-ceives for its adjuncts, causinginstructors to tiptoe aroundsensitive issues in class lec-tures or to inflate gradesin order to please studentsand avoid a bad evaluation.

Shillock agrees that these problemsoccur, but he adds, Student evalua-tions may actually lead to a greaterinvestment from the adjunct.

Students are aware of

these issues. The claare easier from an adjuncI wouldve known this day one, I would have piall of my classes with

Although there are ding opinions over an adjuvalue to students educano one argues over theirue to the institution. An

As the start of class time draws near,Adjunct Assistant Professor of Com-munications Felicia Shearer eyes herwatch. She feels well prepared andexcited to begin her lecture, ready tomake the most out of every second ofclass time. Her contagious enthusiasmrubs off on her students as they pre-pare to engage themselves knee deep inmass communication theory at 9:30am.

I really love teaching, said Shearer.I see myself as energetic and passion-ate about getting students involved.

Aside from the enthusiasm that shebrings to the classroom, another reasonfor Shearers success at motivating herstudents stems from her teaching expe-rience. She has taught at Old DominionUniversity in Virginia, ShippensburgUniversity, Harrisburg Area Communi-ty College (HACC), Hartford Communi-ty College in Connecticut, University ofRhode Island and the Community Col-lege of Baltimore County in Maryland.This variety in institutions and studentdemographics allows Shearer to relate

to a diverse population of students.

Although her relationship with herdents thrives due to her teaching exence, she admits that her relationwith the institution could be more doped. As an adjunct instructor for Wisince 2007, Shearer says that she little involvement with campus activi

THE BILLBOARD INTERNATIONAL THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2013

To celebrate the huge suc-

ess of the Muhibbah Dinner

held on March 2, members of

he Muhibbah club, on the sug-

estion of Japanese student

Azusa Terajima, attended

he annual Cherry Blossom

Festival in Washington D.C.apans national flower is

he cherry blossom and Tera-

ima wanted to see it again.

All members agreed with her

pinion and decided to go.

It reminds me of graduation

eremonies in my school days.

n Japan, we have a gradua-

ion ceremony in March and

n entrance ceremony in April

t schools. It brings back a lot

f memories, said Terajima.

A sense of nostalgia grows

with the cherry blossom for the

apanese people. The beauty

f falling petals is more attrac-

ive than the actual blossoms

o Japanese people. They also

hold the cherry blossom in

high regard as they believe the

cherry blossom symbolizes the

ephemeral nature of life since

they bloom spectacularly for

only a short time. The Japa-

nese view of life and death

is similar to that of the short

life of the cherry blossoms

and resonates with Japansspiritual background. The in-

teresting thing is that there

is a cherry blossom latte in

Japan Starbucks every spring.

However, the cherry blos-

som notes a somewhat sad

history for Koreans. America

and Japan made a secret pact

known as Taft-Katsura Agree-

ment. On July 29, 1905 Atsura

Taro, the prime minister of Ja-

pan and William Howard Taft,

who was the special general

for the 26th American presi-dent, Theodore Roosevelt. The

main content of the agreement

which confirmed that America

would govern the Philippines

as a colony and Japan couldnt

attack the Philippines. At the

time, Japan governed Korea

and America recognized it anddidnt intervene between Ja-

pan and Korea. Because of this

agreement, Japan planted the

cherry blossoms in Washing-

ton D.C as a symbol of peace

between the two countries.

One of the culture shockshat Ive experienced here re-

olves around the holidays.The first holiday when I camehere took place during FallBreak. I found myself veryurprised because universi-ies in Korea dont have fallreak. I stayed at my friends

house in Maryland and tookrest, caught up on home-

work, and visited the Nation-l Aquarium in Baltimore,

Md. and Washington D.C.The next holiday I expe-

ienced occurred on Hal-oween. It was the first Hal-

oween I experienced inAmerica and I saw many cos-umes and cultures in person.

One of my happiest memo-ies took place on Thanksgiv-ng break. Of course we havehe same holiday in Korea,ut the cultures prove to-ally different. For example,

we dont enjoy turkey butKorean traditional foods.

Something that surprisedme was the short winter breakn the United States. Many

universities in Korea have at

least two months as a winterbreak. It begins at the end

of December and lasts to theend of February. However,we dont have Spring Breakat universities in Korea.

In my opinion, Spring andFall Break motivate studentsto keep up with their studiesor traveling. I just experiencedGood Friday and Easter for thefirst time. I was so happy thatI didnt know what to do. Actu-ally, Ive never heard about theEaster Bunny. However, I re-ceived many gifts from the Eas-ter Bunny and did Eggstrava-

ganza, decorating eggs witha pen, markers and stickers.

Another difference betweenKorea and the United States isthat we have just two monthsof summer vacation from theend of June to the end of Au-gust. However, American stu-dents can enjoy their summervacations for more than threemonths. I hope I remain a stu-dent at an American univer-sity. Im going to recommendSpring Break and Fall Break

to many Korean universities.

THE BILLBOARD ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT6 THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2

Every year the Wilson Col-ege Kittochtinny PlayersDrama Club) puts on a play.

On Fri April 12 and Sat April3, the Drama Club performedComedia Tonight! for the

Wilson College community

n the Alumnae Chapel ofThompson Hall. This year theplay is a bit different. In thetyle of the Italian Commedia

dell arte, a form of improvisa-ional comedy, typically with

masks. Commedia Tonight!s a play based on laughs andnteractions with the audience.

Director and Adjunct Profes-or of Drama Dick Shoap said

he saw a play calledA Servantf Two Masters, which was inhe Commedia dell arte style.

I thought it would be funo do a show like that, says

Shoap. Its just silly fun.The performance consisted

of two short plays by BarryGranthom - The False Turkin Twelve Minutes and ThePath of True Love - both fo-cused on marriage and decep-

tion. Everything in the playis portrayed in a very sillyand comical manner. Evenserious moments became ri-diculous. The actors investedthemselves in both acts andtried to get the audience toplay along with them. Theactors conversed with thecrowd, just getting them tolaugh and also asking for au-dience members to participate.

This play is very interactivewith the audience and the ac-

tors draw on their energy tomove the action along, said

Drama Club Performs Comedia Tonight, Entertains CrowdBy MALLORY SUNDERLAND

Carol Zehosky 15. The Dra-ma Club really enjoyed theirtime performing this play.

The audience also seemedto enjoy the change.

I love movies about mak-

ng movies. When I heard last

ear the film Hitchcock, star-

ing Anthony Hopkins and

Helen Mirren, was about one

f my favorite directors mak-

ng Psycho, one of my favorite

films, I couldnt wait to go see

t. Unfortunately, because Iive in a small town surround-

d by even smaller towns the

movie never played locally.

The negative reviews and lack

f promotion made me quickly

ealize Id have to wait to see

t until it came out on DVD.

When Redbox finally got a copy

n to rent, I could see the rea-

on for some of the negativity,

however much of the criticism

was not entirely warranted.

As I said earlier, Hitchcock

s about the making ofPsycho

nd the directors (Hopkins)

ifficulty with attaining fund-

ng, clashes with movie ex-

cutives over casting and the

tory itself and, ultimately,

or distribution. Fortunately

or us, Hitch (as he liked to

e called by friends) had final

pproval on everything - some-

hing very rare unless you are

s established a filmmaker as

Hitchcock. The final product

was delivered to audiences

around the world and is hailed

as one of the Master of Sus-

penses greatest achievements.

The film also focuses on the

exasperating relationship be-

tween Hitch and his devoted

wife Alma Reville (Mirren),

who worked as a consultant

and rewriter on most of herhusbands films. As is usually

the case, the best thing about

the movie is Helen Mirren.

Not simply because she has

proven her worth as an incred-

ible actress, but also because

her character here is the most

elusive. She is not her husband

(who the entire world knows)

or the actors inPsycho (whom

we have some vague recogni-

tion of). Alma always stood

behind the scenes, never in the

spotlight. From what Ive read

about Hitchcock, she preferred

it that way. Because the audi-

ence never saw much of Alma

in the public eye, Mirren has

the advantage to act any way

she wishes and the major-

ity of people in the audience

wouldnt think anything amiss.

The problems with the mov-

ie mostly manifest in the com-

parisons we make between the

actors playing actors. Scarlett

Johansson plays Janet Leigh

and neither looks nor sounds

like the real actress. James

DArcy plays Anthony Perkins

and while the resemblance is

uncanny, I cant help but feel

D Arcy just watched Psycho a

dozen times and decided this

was how Perkins acted in real

life. Because these actors por-tray minor characters in the

movie, their performance does

not distract too much. This

then leads to Anthony Hop-

kins, who is obviously a tre-

mendous actor. However, this

turns out to be one of the few

times I think Ive ever watched

a movie where only about half

the time I believed him as the

character. It was strange see-

ing him in makeup that oddly

made him look exactly like the

title character and then not at

all in the span of two minutes.

I have no doubt director

Sacha Gervais is a fan of his

subject (what filmmaker isnt),

but it seems he neglected to

read some of the major biog-

raphies available (including

the most definitive by Don-

ald Spoto). Instead, it seems

he read the more scandal-

ridden works that only fo-

cus on Hitchcocks obsessive-

ness, both with his pictures

and his blonde leading la

Kids KornerDid you know?

The first Earth Day in the United Statestook place on April 22, 1970. It is a very special

day for us to think about all the things thatmake our planet beautiful and to talk aboutways that we can protect it.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Pick up trash that you find on theground and throw it away

Recycle bottles and cans Plant a tree Reuse scraps of paper and other

objects to create art Donate old toys, clothes, and other

items to charity

What would you do to protect the earth?
