ganization for everyone. And guess what? If the club youre looking for doesnt exist, you have the power to start it yourself, and put it on your resume.To be honest, most of my personal learning has come from my involvement at The Guardian, not my classes. I have received more prepa-ration for a future job from hands on experience writing, reporting and copyediting than I have in any classroom. Make the most of your extra-curricular activities because your volunteer work, intern-ships and work-related jobs will mean more to future employers than what classes you took.

Wright State students may be familiar with addressing their instructor as Dr. to then be told Im not a professor, Im just an adjunct. Wright State employs around 500 adjunct faculty members, from adjunct lec-turers to adjunct professors and assistant professors. Adjunct instructors are tra-ditionally thought of as tem-porary professors that fill in when universities are short on staff. Recent polls, however, show that universities are no longer simply relying on ad-juncts to fill temporary roles; many colleges throughout the U.S. are involved in con-tinuous cycles of relying on adjuncts permanently.While this issue is becom-ing more and more contro-versial, many college stu-dents arent aware of the situation. University admin-istrators tend to defend the reliance on adjuncts as a nec-essary cost-cutting measure, which suggests that students might be in support of the trend if it keeps tuition costs down. However, amidst a new movement of students fight-ing for workers equality and an increased minimum wage,

Travis SollarsContributing [email protected]

many see the trend as noth-ing more than universities looking for cheap labor.Adjuncts are paid depend-ing on how much they teach, usually by the credit hour, but payment varies slightly by department and based on external factors such as the adjuncts level of education, previous experience, etc. Even though adjuncts can make upwards of $30,000 on rare occasions, typi-cal adjuncts make between $10,000 and $15,000 a year and do not receive health in-surance or other benefits.

In addition, job security for adjuncts is relatively poor, leading to an unstable career for adjuncts looking to make a living off of teaching. For this reason, the majority of adjuncts work multiple jobs, teach at multiple schools, or are retired.Jacob Bauer, an adjunct professor for the College of

Liberal Arts, has been teach-ing for two years and has dealt first hand with the problems that adjuncts face.In terms of national stand-ings, Wright State does pay their adjuncts slightly more than the national average. Still, the amount being paid to adjuncts for teaching classes is way, way below what any other professor is being paid, Bauer said. The United Nations Bill of Human Rights states that there needs to be equal pay for equal work, and that just isnt the case for adjuncts. Adjuncts are paid less than half per course than the next rank up is paid for teaching the exact same courses.Adjuncts are skilled work-ers and are required to have a Masters Degree in order to teach. For this reason, it troubles many adjuncts that even after so many years of education, they are still mak-ing less money than many minimum wage workers.The main concern for ad-juncts is being in poverty, basically, and thats quite literal, Bauer said. Not all adjuncts are in poverty, but take a family of four like my own. I was working full time between two universities teaching more than seven classes a year, and my fam-ily was on food stamps and Medicaid, said Bauer.

Additionally, job security for adjuncts is virtually non-existent. Adjuncts are hired on a semester basis and often do not know which, if any, courses they will be teaching until just weeks before class-es start.Working as an adjunct does have its upsides, though. For Clara Coleman, an adjunct from the art department, working as an adjunct allows her the opportunity to teach college students without having the qualifications to work full time.

I really take pride in [teaching], and I really want to keep teaching as an ad-junct. Honestly, I would teach this full time if I could. Cole-man has a second job teach-ing art to elementary and middle school students, and even though she loves the students, she enjoys the op-portunity that working as an adjunct brings.

I really want to teach up-per level. Its more person-ally satisfying because you get to see the results; a lot of development, adult develop-ment. Theres nothing better than watching drawings get better, and you dont really see that a lot in little kids. Not that its bad, but its more noticeable in adults, and I get the chance to do that here.Whether the costs of be-ing an adjunct outweigh the benefits is up for debate, but many students are still un-aware of what is going on behind the scenes. That is why Samantha Hall, an in-ternational studies student at Wright State, is working with the adjunct staff to raise awareness of the situation.My goal, as a student, is to bring light to these issues; to work with the deans and ad-ministrators and to bring ad-ministrative support to the adjuncts, Hall said.Part of Halls goal is to raise awareness through social media, educating the public on the issues that adjuncts face and dispelling myths about the purpose of ad-juncts on college campuses. For example, there are sev-eral objections that adjuncts

The 2015-16 school year for Wright State has brought many achievements as well as defeats. Here are just a few of the ups and downs that the university has seen recently:1. Debate: Wright State was selected to host the

first presidential debate of the 2016 election season. This will occur on Monday, Sept. 26, 2016 in the Wright State Nutter Center. Wright State will also reserve all of their tickets for current students who are interested in attending the debate. To get an exclusive opportunity to work with the debate as a student volunteer, visit www.wright.edu/event/debate.2. Motion Picture Center: Tom Hanks dedicated the new motion picture center on Tuesday, April 19. The center was funded by the Rise.Shine. campaign.3. Summer Rebate: Start-ing this upcoming summer semester, students are eli-gible for a 20 percent rebate on the cost of undergraduate

The year in review at Wright State

On Saturday, April 23, Wright State Universi-ty students gathered outside in the Garden of the Senses in the early morning to partici-pate in the relaxing practice of yoga.Various students per-formed different yoga poses under the morning sun with the help of mats and the tran-quil silence that the campus environment offered at 9 a.m. The event, Yoga in Nature, is an early morning class held by the Outdoor Resource Center at Wright State. The

Students relax before finals with Yoga in NatureBlake SutherlandContributing [email protected]

class is offered on four Sat-urday mornings in the spring and fall to students, faculty and alumni who register. The class gives its participants a chance to relax and unwind.This particular class fell on both the last week of class and finals week; a perfect time for students to unwind while preparing for the end of the semester.Emily Smith, a Wright State student and a participant in Yoga in Nature said, It was relaxing. It was a great thing to do before finals.Trisha Kretzer, an Inter-national Studies major at Wright State, started work-

ing at the Outdoor Resource Center and began teaching yoga last year and led the class for the students who showed up for early morning yoga.Yoga is a very well round-ed exercise that helps with stretching and breathing, Kretzer said. Yoga also helps with mindfulness on and off the map.The fact that the class was held outside in the Garden of the Senses, which can be found across from the Cam-pus Ministry Center and several of the Woods hous-ing dorms along University Blvd. gave the participants a

unique experience by com-bining nature with yoga. When doing yoga outside, you are more connected with the elements, Kretzer said. When commenting on the disadvantages of partaking in the ancient discipline of yoga indoors she said, Even when youre doing yoga indoors, (instructors) will play CDs with the sound of nature. Being in nature is similar to yoga because of its calming presence. With more opportunities to participate in yoga at Wright State in the future, students will have the chance to dis-cover the benefits from the

practice that will help their mind, body, and soul.

face when asking for higher pay. The most common ob-jection comes from those who say that the adjunct po-sition was never meant to be a full time position, and that adjuncts should use their job as a stepping stone towards higher paying positions. Ac-cording to Hall, however, there is a huge problem with that argument.Institutions across the nation are hiring more and more adjunct professors and fewer full time professors, Hall said. They say its just a stepping stone, but if there are ad-juncts who wish to pursue a career in academia, how are they supposed to step up to the next stone if the only jobs available are more adjunct positions?Students can expect to hear more about this issue in the coming months. With the presidential debate coming to Wright State in September, Samantha Hall and other stu-dent activists are hoping that the publicity will aid in bring-ing light to important issues that affect Wright State stu-dents and staff every day.

The Adjunct Problem

(continued from Page 4) classes. To apply, students must have been full time for both the fall 2015 and spring 2016 semesters. Classes on the Main Campus hold a re-bate of up to $236 while the Lake Campus is offering up to $159. To also help bring down tuition costs, Wright State will make almost all undergraduate degrees only 120 credit hours.

1. Federal Investigation: In May 2015 several univer-sity administra-tors, including former Provost Sundaram Narayanan, were put on paid leave pending a fed-eral investigation. The in-vestigation looked into the money trail of the H-1B visa program that helped Wright State to gain underpaid for-eign workers here on their visa. Most of the administra-tors have now been let go, though Narayanan is still on paid leave.

2. One Million a Year: Wright State contracted Ron Wine as an economic devel-opment advisor who sug-gested Wright State should host a political fundraiser at the same time it was asking

for state funding assistance from Ohio House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger. Wine is a well-known lobbyist and this issue is now resulting in a proposed change to Ohios lobbying laws.3. Financial Cuts: The American Association of Uni-versity Professors at Wright State (AAUP-WSU) sent out an open letter to President David Hopkins and the Board of Trustees addressing the

financial situation at the university. The AAUP-WSU feels that Hopkins weekly emails paint a picture that bears little resemblance to reality and that the sudden announcement for deans to plan for an eight percent budget cut comes without enough financial informa-tion.

Student Spotlight: Carine VerlinCarine Verlin is a gradu-ate student that has re-cently finished her Masters in Student Affairs and Higher Education. She was also the campus food pantry coordi-nator and is coming back to Wright State for a masters in Mental Health Counselling.Verlin came to WSU in 2010 and was drawn to learn about Psychology due to a former abusive relationship. I wanted to know more about myself and what hap-pened, because I was com-pletely lost, Verlin said. The thing about this situation, you dont know whats going on. In my case, he wasnt abu-sive physically, but mentally. You are disconnected and lost. You cant put a finger on it, but you know that some-thing is wrong. So you think that something is wrong with you. Psychology helped me understand that Im not crazy. After that, everything makes sense and you start to build confidence.Once she started her bach-elors in Psychology, she sur-prised herself by excelling academically, with a 4.0 GPA in her Associates, Bachelors and Masters. She also re-

ceived the Graduate Student Leader award. When you are in an abu-sive relationship your self-esteem is really low, because your significant other makes you feel like crap, Verlin said. So, I didnt think that I could have good grades, but I got straight As.As the Food Pantry Coordi-

nator, she brought the Kroger Community Rewards pro-gram to the WSU food pan-try. This allows people with a Kroger Plus card to donate a percentage of their purchas-es at Kroger to the food pan-try. This program has given $4,000 to the pantry since Feb. 2015. She also held food drives like The Hunger Cup, which occurred spring se-mester 2015. Verlins time at the pantry was very enjoyable for her. We serve students in need and theyre really happy with the food they received, Verlin said. I work with volunteers that decide to work without

pay and so theyre happy to be where they are, and we work with donors who are always happy to donate. Im surrounded only with very positive and happy people all the time. Its the best place.Now that she has finished

her first Masters, she intends to return to Europe this sum-mer and set aside 42 days to walk the Camino de Santiago, a set of trails that start in var-ious countries in Europe, but all end in Santiago de Com-postela, Spain. The Camino de Santiago is also known as the Way of St. James, and is a pilgrimage that ends at the shrine of St. James, one of the disciples of Jesus. In my relationship, I felt like I lost pieces of myself along the road, Verlin said. The walk is a way for me to reconnect with those parts of myself that were lost or went unutilized. I wanted to do that because it is a spiri-tual journey. I like walking, I like being in nature, I like what is challenging. I need to be with myself, by myself. No kids to take care of, no job, no responsibility, no school, so I can concentrate on me only and reconnect with myself in a way.

Dunbar Library here on Wright States campus is full of resources and ways to help you study and get your homework done.Basically, we only charge fines when items are re-turned lateotherwise, its free, head of information de-livery services at WSU Matt Shreffler said. The point of encouraging people to re-turn things on time is that often another person needs to use the item. We want our items to be as available to ev-eryone as possible. Many of our items are also offered on OhioLINK, so if something is late it doesnt just affect this campus but others around the state.The cost per day if a book is late is $0.50 a day and the most a fine will cost you would be $25 for a WSU book and $50 for OhioLINK books, thats the maximum overdue fee.When material is returned past the due date/time, fines can be applied. There are cer-tain grace periods built in as a benefit to students and the library sends out reminder emails, but it is the students responsibility to keep track of the due dates, Shreffler said. If still not returned, will turn in to a replacement fee which is generally $100 for WSU books and $125 for OhioLINK books. Even if youre billed for a book, you can return it in good condi-tion and the fine will go back to the maximum overdue.

These fines are just for

Dunbar Library is so fine: Knowing the rulesKelsey PowellContributing [email protected]

non-Reserve items there is another set if fees for Re-serve items.Most Reserve items will cost $0.50 per each hour they are late. These are special items because the professors have decided that the materi-al is needed for class, so fines are higher if the items are not returned on time. There is no maximum fine, but the exit-gate alarm goes off to keep people from accidentally tak-ing these items home, Shref-fler said.However, there was a big-ger a better way that fines could have been waived and paid. The Friendly Foods for Fines event started in April and went from April 10 through the 16, this will be an annual event that will oc-cur during week in April.

Shreffler said he and li-brary hopes this will be a new annual tradition. The food pantry was hap-py to accept as many items (food, toiletries, etc.) as peo-ple wanted to bring in. How-ever, the maximum amount of fines we waived was $50 per person. We actually col-lected 265 items (282.2 lbs.) and $768.82 in fines this year, Shreffler said.Those who have wondered about how overdue affect the process of graduation, you can still graduate with out-standing library fines. If you dont return or renew a book for so long that it is consid-ered lost, the library will place a hold on your tran-scripts so that your account needs to be settled before transcripts are released, Shreffler said.

It gives me some compe-tition in hurdles, McMillan said. I train alone mostly, and its good to work with someone else who is at an elite level with myself who can challenge me in practice and bring the intensity that is compared to a meet.McMillan also gave Wright State heptathlete Gabrielle Markley a chance to train with her on several occa-sions. Chantae is fast, explosive, and strong. It amazed me how she excelled at each of the seven heptathlon events (100 meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 meters, long jump, javelin throw and 800 meters), Markley said.

Wright State mens basketball has a new man in charge as for-mer South Dakota State head coach Scott Nagy takes con-trol of the program after 21 seasons with the Jackrabbits where he led SDSU to five consecutive postseason ap-pearances and three Summit League Championships in the last five years. The Raiders are losing the majority of their offensive production from last season after five seniors graduated and will likely look to junior guards Mark Alstork and Grant Benzinger to lead a young team. One thing I know is that we have tough kids and they have been coached well, Nagy said. Mark and Grant we know need to be our leaders for probably the next two years. Theyre both go-ing to be juniors and theyre guys who have been here and

The Nagy era has begun:played with this program.Alstork, a local Thurgood Marshall high school gradu-ate, averaged 12.4 points per game last season after trans-ferring from Ball State and red shirting in 2014-15. He scored 27 points in his Raid-ers debut after sinking eight of 11 shot attempts while coming straight to the court after a fifth bone Metatarsal injury that sidelined him for the majority of the off-sea-son. I havent seen him play, hes coming off of a foot in-jury that he dealt with the whole year, Nagy said. I know hes a good athlete, a big physical guard and we like that.Alstork commented on his new coach. He (Nagy) brings experi-ence and knows what it takes to win, Alstork said.

After the firing of former head coach Billy Donlon, Benzinger who sank a team-high 62 three-pointers last

year had been granted his release by the University, but announced his decision to stay with Wright State on April 15. We were working with him through the whole pro-cess and getting him com-fortable with us, Nagy said. I think its very important for our program, our team, our staff and even the players that hes back here.Hes a very good shooter, Nagy said. One thing we love about him is that he likes to be in the gym. He works hard and has a desire to be better.Nagy was hired by WSU on April 4 and has brought help from SDSU as he announced his assistants will be Brain Cooley, Sharif Chambliss and Clint Sargent while the Direc-tor of Operations will be Nick Goff. All listed were part of Nagys staff at South Dakota. They know me and they know what like, Nagy said. They know what suits my eye in terms of the type of

Everyone loves to get some fresh air and en-joy nature once in a while, but graduate student Juan Munoz has become a fixture in the recreational department of Wright State. A hardworking soon-to-be alumnus, Munoz is ending his higher educa-tion as an MBA and graduate assistant for WSUs Outdoor Recreation Center.In short I have been run-ning an outdoor travel agen-cy with my boss and the rest of our amazing student workers, said Munoz.The Outdoor Recreation center (ORC) allows Wright State students to get involved with outdoor excursion rang-ing from hiking to kayaking. Munoz, with his Masters in Business Administration, worked on the marketing side of things.

Saying goodbye to Outdoor Recs Juan Munoz

As the GA, I have done a lot of different things, from digi-tal and print marketing to trip building and execution.Balancing education with extracurriculars can be diffi-cult, but Munoz has held the position for two years and has made strides to better the program in any way he can.Its kind of an amazing gig to have for two years, and I am eternally grateful to my supervisor, Assistant Direc-tor of ORC Amy Anslinger, said Munoz, for giving me creative room to push our program, while being one hundred percent supportive and training me in all these amazing outdoor sports.As for what the ORC will be like now that hes leaving, he only hopes that he left an impression of the quality ser-vices that one would receive

at a private travel industry. Maintaining the positive attitude and dedication re-quired for a job like this, even under the duress of his own education, clearly hasnt been a problem for Munoz. For any incoming or new stu-dents hoping to succeed at the school, he only has one piece of advice.Take advantage of every opportunity, for you never know where it will take you.Thanks to his positive ex-perience with his assistant-ship, Munoz has high hopes for doing something similar in the future.

young men that are here now, add to it a little bit and hopefully we can put a team on the floor that can compete next year.Only time will tell if Nagy and the Raiders will return to the Horizon League Cham-pionship game for the pro-grams fifth time in six years.

Wright State plans to implement budget cuts over the next two years totaling an estimated 19 mil-lion dollars.These cuts come in the wake of a decrease in state funding to higher education, which have led to fundrais-ing movements such as the Rise. Shine. campaign that raised more than $124 mil-lion for the university.Today less than 18 percent of our budget comes from the state of Ohio. Two decades ago it was 70-something per-cent, Wright State President David Hopkins said.Lower enrollment rates have also been cited as a con-tributing factor to these cuts according to WSU board fi-nance committee chairman Doug Fecher. WSUs annual operating budget is $311 million and the university has 3,803 employees.Hopkins sent a campus wide email to the student body on April 14. The email detailed past budget cuts and an experiment that was conducted throughout the colleges of the university in-tended to pin point the per-centage of funds that could be cut in each department.At the beginning of fall 2015, it was clear with the mandated zero percent tu-ition increase for fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2017,

Wright State to tighten school budget

projected flat SSI (state) support, modest enrollment growth and a sporadic econ-omy, that we, once again, had a Nut to Crack in our base budget, Hopkins wrote.Hopkins stated that the university plans on cutting four percent of the universi-tys budget next year and two percent the year after.Based on projected rev-enue and one-time expen-ditures, our "Nut" is ap-proximately six percent (our exercise was eight percent) of our base budget, not sub-stantially different from the four percent we took on in 2010, Hopkins saidNext years projected bud-get of $298.6 million will be nearly identical to budgets in fiscal years 2014 and 2011.After learning about the recent budget cut plan for Wright State University, I ini-tially felt uneasy about $19 million being cut from my school, junior Ryan George said. I can see why it's neces-sary though. If the economy is improving and that means more people are going back to work instead of school, or maybe end up transferring to somewhere other than Wright State, then it makes sense that some funding needs to be decreased.University administrators plan to propose specific cuts to the board in June in order to gain approval before the next fiscal year begins in July.

Directors and coaches praise Demmings and Mingo for three years of honorsWright State womens basketball team has had the distinguished honor of producing the Horizon Leagues Player of the Year for the past three seasons with Tayler Mingo in 2014-15 and Kim Demmings in 2013-14 and 2015-16.

In five years with the pro-gram, Demmings played four seasons with the team; (she broke her foot early in the 2014-15 season.) Demmings went on to play in the post-season three times and in both of Mingos two seasons she reached the post-season. The only season in which the two played together, the Raiders made their first ever NCAA Tournament appear-ance.It is an unbelievable ac-complishment and really speaks to the great recruit-ing and development done by our womens basketball staff, Wright State Athletic Director Bob Grant said. It also means we had two great players in Kim and Tay.Its been fun to watch the program to great heights af-ter it has struggled through the years, Wright State As-

sistant Athletic Director Bob Noss said. You can look back and see very good players who have come through the program over the years, but Demmings and Mingo put it all together to make special memories for everyone.It means youve got play-ers that have bought in and theyre also very talented, former Wright State wom-ens basketball head coach Mike Bradbury said. You dont have success without very talented players.In two seasons with WSU Mingo scored over 1,300 points, had 348 assists, and 188 steals in just 69 games.It would have been fun to see how she would have played if she were here all four years, Noss said. If Kim wouldnt have had the injury to start the 2014-15 season, both players would have played together for their fi-nal seasons. Mingo stepped up that year in a big way and made it memorable.She (Mingo) was so good in every aspect of the game, Grant said. That is what made her so much fun to watch. Mingo was an extremely intelligent player and be-

sides being talented she re-ally understood the game, Bradbury said. She knew how to play and could make other people around her bet-ter too and that was the big-gest thing, not only was she the best player, but she made the rest of our team better because of her ability to do that.It meant a lot, I put in a lot of hard work, Mingo said. I got POY which means I had really good teammates and coaching staff behind me to earn that. When I got there they were still building, but they made it super comfort-able for me to come in and play good basketball, Mingo said. I had the best time at Wright State.During Demmingss time at Wright State, she not only re-wrote the WSU record books, but she also did so with the Horizon League as well. She ranks first in career points with 2,677 which is a Raider best and a Horizon League womens best as well. She is also first at Wright State in field goals made and at-tempted, three-pointers made and attempted, free-throws made and attempted, assists, games played, and

minutes played for her ca-reer.We had Kim around for five years, to watch her grow and become the type of play-er she became was special for the fans and the staff, Noss said. We have had good players in the past and ex-ceptional players that played with Kim, but she helped the entire athletic department become better.

She is terrific, it has been so much fun to watch her grow both on and off the court, Grant said. On the court, I think she is the best player in the history of the Horizon League, think about that statement.A kid that made huge strides. She came in very talented then worked on her game, got better, her ball handling got better, and she became an elite defender, Bradbury said. That kid is the most competitive kid Ive coached, what made her a great player was her com-petitiveness and she tries to win everything. Every drill, every game, every practice, she tries to win everything, and thats what helps make her a great player.The feeling of being play-

er of the year not once but twice, is an unreal feeling. I am blessed to be able to put on a jersey day in and day out, play a sport I love and be successful at it, Demmings said. Earning Player of the Year twice is something I will never forget and I am hon-ored to be a part of a program that helped me get there.My time at Wright State has been remarkable, un-believable and just a sheer blessing. Being at Wright State to me felt like I was at home, I love the campus and the facilities that were pro-vided to me, Demmings said. The successful part to me goes to the athletic director and the coaches as well as my teammates. Having such a great support group is what led to why we were so suc-cessful in the years I spent at Wright State.Wright state means a lot to me, they have helped me create a future for myself through basketball as well as education, Demmings said. I am very thankful for every-thing they have helped me with along my journey and will always be a part of that family. I am Wright State.

14 WRIGHT LIFEStudent Spotlight: Estrella Alvarez is making waves in Latino community on campusMost people have an innate desire to help others - whether through philanthropy, charity work, etc. - but its always good to have a role model to know where to start. Estrella Alva-rez, a first generation Mex-ican-American student, is a great example of someone for incoming students, or anyone, to look up to.Alvarez, president of Ami-gos Latinos, said she was inspired to spend her time helping people because of her father, who endured hardships while making his way to becoming a U.S. citi-zen when he was only 16 years old. After the difficult experience, he decided to dedicate his energy to giv-ing aid to others, specifically

children.My parents were foster parents for 20 years. They have instilled both of my cul-tures into me, said Alvarez. At the first volunteer proj-ect I ever attended, I was five months old. Since Ive been at college - Ive been here three years - theyve taken in two homeless families.Good will towards others has been a central aspect of Alvarezs life from her in-fancy, but she says that she decided to become a leader after the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Her father boarded a flight which was meant to be hijacked and flown into the White House.

They called off his flight, and he was spared. I went to school the next day and learned how so many kids had lost both of their parents, and I felt lucky that I didnt -

even if that plane wouldve gone down, I wouldve only lost one. Because of this, she decid-ed to gather her classmates together and make cards for the children whod been af-fected by the catastrophe. In regards to her involvement with the Latino community on-campus, she dedicated her efforts due to her own feeling of isolation at school.I was working on other things, but I was lonely. I fig-ured, other people like me might feel that, too, said Al-varez. Now, an associate of mine says to the people she recruits, If you need a place to go, go to the Office of La-tino Affairs because its the happiest place on campus.Alvarez has won many awards for her work, in-cluding the La Jefa award,

which means female boss, and shes majoring in Orga-nizational Leadership with minors in Spanish, Interna-tional Business and Market-ing. She also has plans in the future to bring the concept of Amigos Latinos and friendly community to campuses across the country.My parents told me that weve all received help in

some way and we need to pay it back to the community because you are blessed in so many ways, said Alvarez. You need to help others, es-pecially those who cant help themselves.More information on the Office of Latino Affairs or Amigos Latinos can be found on the official Wright State website.

Spring Dance Recital showcases faculty and student talentFrom April 21 through 24, the Festival Play-house in the Creative Arts Center (CAC)held the annual Spring Dance Recital. In ad-dition, an intensive dance workshop was offered, al-lowing the event to be an opportunity for everyone to witness as well as get in-volved with the dance talent at Wright State.Six new works and feature dances by guests choreogra-phers were premiered, those including Greg Robinson and Jon Lehrer of Lehrer Dance. The two are nationally known in their field, bringing another level of prestige to the most recent recital.Auditions are held for the event each fall, and guests like Lehrer and Robinson, faculty members, and select students are all chosen to be in the show to exhibit per-formances in ballet, jazz and modern forms of dancing. The Dayton Contemporary Dance company also per-formed in some of the vari-ous pieces.Its a chance for parents to come see us, and also for anyone in or around Dayton to come see some of the tal-ent, one of the student danc-ers Matthew Dlugos said.

Its really just an event for everyone.In light of the workshop offered, this rings true. Stu-dents 14 and up were allowed to participate and catch a glimpse of the work that stu-dents in the dance major do every year at Wright State.Everyone involved kinda gets a chance to partici-pate. There are students and teachers and guests, so all kinds of dancers get to be seen, Lindsey Knoth said, who performed a ballet num-ber.In addition to the numbers from Robinson and Lehrer, associate professor of dance Gina Walthers Revel in the Now, and assistant profes-sor Justin Gibbs A Gathering of Crows also premiered. Also performed by the Dance Ensemble was The Cost, with music by Jimi Hendrix and Richie Havens, and stu-dent work by senior Eliza-beth Ramsey.The event was an overall success, with each number received well by the large audiences who visited the CAC to watch the event. John Lehrer has his own webpage, but to find out more about the Wright State dance pro-gram or the event as a whole, check out the official univer-sity website.

Student Body President Lukas Wenrick and Vice President, Koty Johnson, were elected March 25 and began their tenure as Stu-dent Government Associa-tion (SGA) leaders on Tues-day, April 26. Wenrick is a Social Science Education major, in conjunc-tion with a Political Science minor, and has dreams of working in higher education, then transferring his experi-ence into government to help shape the education system. For now, he is going to at-tempt to make Wright State a better institution through his work with SGA, starting with combating the lack of school spirit among students.I think its pretty much something that every student feels, Wenrick said. There is a lack of school spirit, and I think that is something that is relatively easy to address. Were going to start having spirit committees and hav-ing spirit days, well have pep rallies, tailgates and stu-dent athlete meet and greets. Well be doing a lot to make sure that were addressing the issue of school spirit.In addition to school spirit, Wenrick wants to seek solu-

Get to know your new student body president Lukas Wenricktions to issues like parking and food services. Predomi-nately, Wenrick and SGA are focusing on getting student feedback in order to tailor the campus to the students. Theres a disconnect with SGA and everyone around, so were going to do a lot of sur-veying, a lot of tabling, Wen-rick said. Were also going to try and get more people involved in SGA, as well as in the projects that we will be doing. Were going to expand our committees, expand our Freshman Internship Pro-gram. Anyone thats passion-ate about WSU or just wants to change something will have the capability as well as the capacity to do that. Any-one that is passionate about anything at WSU is going to be able to come in and make some changes.Wenrick believes that Wright State does not get the credit it deserves among stu-dents that attend here. No one chooses WSU be-cause they hate it, Wenrick said. Everyone loves the

university when they first come here. Its the constant negative conversations that happen and people ignor-ing the benefits and beauty of WSU that convince people

that it isnt that great of an institution. When in all real-ity, there are more oppor-tunities here than what you will get anywhere else. The quality of education is just as good here as anywhere else in Ohio and, I would argue, anywhere else in the world.His one piece of advice for incoming freshmen is to get involved and get connected to the university. Youre going to get exactly what you want out of WSU, Wenrick said. If you just want to go to classes and go home, you arent going to get a lot out of it. If you create re-lationships, find friends, join an organization on campus, do anything to create some kind of connection with the university, you will love it, and you will have an incred-ible experience with WSU.Any student with an issue they want to bring to the at-tention of SGA has been en-couraged to get in contact with either Wenrick him-self, or with the individual directors. Students can get in contact with SGA mem-bers through email or stop into the SGA office located in 029H Student Union. Contact info can be found at www.wright.edu/student-govern-ment.

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20)You have a tendency to cross lines - in a bad way. Make sure you are careful who you attack and who you befriend, for an enemy is in your future, but they look like a friend. Keep open eyes over the summer, for this foe could appear at any moment with cruel intentions to ruin you. Your love life is also looking grim, Ar-ies. Make sure to keep your wits about you, for your lover could be seeing other people behind your back. Take a stand by locking them in their apart-ment so they can never see anyone ever again. Your lucky summer vegetable is: the tomato.

Gemini (May 22- June 21) You will be especially forgetful this summer, Gemini. Not only will you for-get a major appointment, but youll also forget someones birthday. They wont be happy with you, and this will ignite

a fiery chain of events that will spiral out of your control and ruin your entire life. The only way to stop your inevita-ble ruin is by standing on a table in the library and screaming like Tarzan for all to hear. Only then will the curse be lifted. Your lucky conversation topic is: Childhood memories of George of the Jungle.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 21) Telling your friends about your sum-

mer fling is only going to make them hate you more than they already do, Leo. Pretend you did nothing more than lounge on your moms couch watching Ugly Betty to make yourself look more boring. Your friends will like you for it.Your love life, however, will bloom like a gerbera daisy basking under the warm Floridian sun. You will meet an attractive stranger in an empty ware-house. This meeting will spur riveting conversation about your childhood memories playing Carmen Sandiego. Your lucky conversation topic is: Neighborhood gangs in Chicago.

Libra (Sep. 24-Oct. 23)You have a tendency to dream big, Li-bra. Not only do you love traveling and living independently, but you love, love, love hunting for mushrooms. (At least you will by the end of the summer.) Foraging for morel mushrooms could literally, spiritually and metaphysically change your life. The stars arent be-

ing specific, but there is magic in your future. Be careful when youre mush-rooming that you dont step into a fairy circle. European legend says that if you desecrate the ring of mushrooms, you could lose an eye. Were not sure how, but there you have it.Your love life this summer is going to be off the hook. Youll find a mushroom-ing partner with eyes the color of but-tered toast. Trust me, youll want to eat them up. Your lucky conversation topic is: Romanian castles with dark secrets.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22)You need to spend more time at your local grocery store, Sagittarius, because great things could happen to you there. Not only could you save a damsel from slipping in meat juice by the butcher counter, but a burly biker with mutton chops will compliment your eyebrows. Use these high moments to boost your self-esteem. You could soon become the most popular shopper at Meijer or Kroger. You will have particularly good luck in Aisle 4. Keep a sharp eye out for the hotties shopping for Riceroni. Your lucky conversation topic is: Sodium lev-els. Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)Do not go to Indiana. Do not think about Indiana. Do not speak about Indi-ana. Trust us, Indiana will ruin your life this summer. However, Indiana also has the ability to provide you with the love of your life. Right now in Richmond, Indiana, some-one with brown hair and brown eyes is eating frozen yogurt and wondering what their future looks like. Little do they know that future includes you. Yes, you. The only way to meet this unknown angel is to venture into the dark corners of Indiana and introduce yourself out of the blue. It wont be weird, we promise you. Visit every frozen yogurt shop in town until you see them. Your heart will know them when you see them.Your lucky conversation topic is: In-tense monkey butts.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)Taking a road trip is in your best in-terest this summer, Aquarius. While on the road, you will meet a trucker named Phillip who will impart several points of wisdom. Use these nuggets of wisdom to change your life for the better. Before you say goodbye to Phillip, however, say the word Scallion. He will understand what this means, and will hand you a large wad of cash from his back pocket. Drop the cash at a Sunoco in Indianapolis, and watch a wild chain of events unfold. Your lucky conversation topic is: Marshmellow Fluff.

Taurus (Apr. 21- May 21) You hate to say it out loud, but every-body knows it: Youre a hipster. Your suede Western jacket with the fringe that you found in a Utah pawn shop isnt impressing anyone, and neither are the

acid wash jeans you wore to your first Cranberries concert. Plus, nobody be-lieves you when you say you listen to Bon Iver to wake up in the morning. Deal with your haters by being even more hipster than ever. In July, a spe-cial vinyl record will be waiting for you in Feathers on Fifth Street in Dayton. Play the record backwards and you will hear a special message that could change your entire life.Your love life looks pretty empty this summer, too. Not only will you spend the summer smoking against white brick buildings, but youll get a terrible sunburn while youre doing it. Your lucky conversation topic is: Your fur coat collection.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) You love drinking, Cancer. We all know it. Your mom knows it. President Hopkins knows it. However, drinking could literally kill you this summer. One night youll have too many cosmos, and

will trip down nineteen flights of stairs and wind up in a mental hospital in Massachusetts. You wont know how you got there, nor will you understand why your nurse looks familiarly like John Waters, but then youll remember this horoscope. The only way to avoid this horrible fate is by avoiding alcohol all summer. Yes, all summer. Your love life in the mental hospital will be fabulous, however. Youll meet a cute stranger who is locked in there be-cause they wouldnt comply with their familys plans at an arranged marriage. Your lucky conversation topic with this cute stranger is: Security cameras.Virgo (Aug. 22-Sep. 23)You will cross paths with a stranger, Virgo. The stranger will have brown eyes, a snaggletooth and a blue back-pack. You must try NOT to fall in love with them, because if you do, they will lead you down a path so wild you will turn into a completely different person. Your parents wont recognize you, and your grandmother wont cook you fried chicken anymore. Your compassionate side will be strong this summer, Virgo. Channel your inner Mother Teresa and volun-teer in downtown Dayton. Your lucky cereal is: Capn Crunch.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Feeling lucky? Try your hand at a lo-cal black jack table and watch the mon-

ey come pouring in. You will finally be able to take that trip to Moldova youve been saving for! Your love life wont be so lucky, how-ever. Any relationship youre already in will suffer from a misunderstanding centered around cucumbers and their effects on a cats pshyche. Any new rela-tionship will start out strong, but even-tually level out into mutual disinterest and loathing. Avoid Facebook for the month of June, and maybe your love life wont suffer so much. Theres no guar-antee though. Your lucky conversation topic is: How some peoples elbows look like the faces of old wrinkled men.

Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20)This going to be the wildest summer of your life. Instead of staying home in the evenings, get crazy and walk the streets of Dayton looking for new friends. You will meet a retired railroad engineer named Gregory on Fifth Street at midnight. While we dont always rec-ommend following strangers back to their apartments, we do this time. Greg-ory has several hidden treasures hidden in his apartment that have the power to change your life. Let him lead you into a new world of exploration, and watch love grow in the meantime. Your lucky conversation with Gregory is: Food stamps and sleeping rooms.

Student Union Ad-ministra-tion says

farewell to

Madrigal DinnerTreasury Secretary Ja-cob J. Lew recently announced that Harriet Tub-man, an anti-slavery aboli-tionist and Union spy, will replace Andrew Jackson, the seventeenth president of the Untied States.This is not the last change to American currency, as the treasury announced that even more notewor-thy American women will be featured on $5 and $10 bills. While Hamilton will remain on the $10, portraits of women like Sojourner Truth, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul and Elizabeth Cady Stanton will be featured on the back of the bill. Changes to the back of the $5 bill will include Eleanor Roosevelt and Marian An-derson. The changes to the $5, $10 and $20 notes will not be revealed until 2020, and the new currency will not go into full circulation until even later in the decade.

The Madrigal Dinner, an annual celebration hosted by the Student Union and the School of Music, has been retired according to Di-rector of the Student Union, Eric Corbitt. The discontinuation of the Madrigal Dinner was an-nounced through WINGS on Wednesday, April 13. The Madrigal Dinner began in 1974 at Wright State and was later revived in 1983 due to an extended period of inac-tivity. It has been held from then on until 2016, making it active for 33 years. It was a themed dinner that took place during winter break. It was essentially a medieval dinner theater that featured performances like choral music, dancing and more. There were also hosts that played the part of nobility and other medieval charac-ters, like a court jester. The post made by the Stu-dent Union Administrative Office only said that time and circumstances were the cause of the decision to retire the Madrigal Dinner.
