THE BACHELOR THE STUDENT VOICE OF WABASH COLLEGE SINCE 1908 NEW YEAR, NEW GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES WALLIES ENCOURAGED TO INVESTIGATE STUDY ABROAD INITIATIVES

BRENT BREESE ‘19 | STAFF WRITER • As students settle into the routine of a new school year, underclassmen approach a time when they need to make a very important decision: Off Campus Study. OCS allows students to spend a period of study at another institution, most commonly abroad. Popular destinations include continental Europe such as Spain or Germany, but more recently students have spent semesters in exotic locations such as China and Morocco. Regardless, the time for planning is right now, and Sophomores have a thorough process to go through if they plan on studying off campus. Director of International Programs Amy Weir is the primary point of contact for an extended period of time as students plan the potential Off Campus Study. “This year is a little different than in years past,” Weir said. Typically all sophomores receive an email concerning an information session wherein Weir covers the Wabash OCS application. This was an event attended by dozens of students and CAL HOCKEMEYER ‘19 / PHOTO was of utmost importance for Evan Frank ‘19 (left) and Cal Hockemeyer ‘19 (right) are two Wallies studying abroad this semester. students planning to spend a semester off campus during their junior year. “This year, spectrum of topics. of off campus study.” Weir said. process is very important from a based off of student and faculty The first is directed towards all Immersion trips obviously fit into a financial standpoint.

YOUR SMALL TALK BRIEFING

COURTESY OF NY TIMES • The Security Council tightened sanctions against North Korea on Monday, although the measures fell short of what the U.S. had wanted. The U.S. wanted to place an embargo on all oil shipments to North Korea, but the strong UN members that are Russia and China objected. The current sanctions place a cap on North Korea oil imports, but does not block them altogether. • Apple has released their new iPhone 8, which features an all glass design, wireless charging, a water and dust resistant structure, and improved camera and screen features. All these new additions sound great until the price is mentioned, which is $1,000. • Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have revealed some encouraging news: The U.S. appears to be improving its response to disasters. For all the suffering and damage, the storms were less deadly than had been feared, with an estimated 85 killed in Texas and Florida. • The NFL season began this past weekend with some rather entertaining games. Some suprises occured, such as the Patriots loss to the Chiefs, the Colts 9-45 loss to the Rams, and the severe injury to the arguably best RB in the league, David Johnson. • A New York Times investigation, along with new cybersecurity research, revealed new layers of Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election, tracking how a legion of Russian-controlled counterfeit Facebook and Twitter accounts spread messages critical of Hillary Clinton and promoted material hacked from some Democratic emails. • The Equifax credit-reporting agency is terribly, dangerously vague about its stunning loss of “potentially” 143 million Social Security numbers. The data belong to roughly three-quarters of Americans with a credit report. Might as well be everyone. Whatever the company finally admits to, this much is certain: Social Security numbers are no longer a secret.

SOCCER HITS TOUGH LOSS TO HANOVER AFTER IMPRESSIVE VICTORY OVER EARLHAM

JACOB CHRISMAN ‘20 | STAFF WRITER • After a 4-1 rout of Earlham College last Wednesday, the Little Giant soccer team suffered their first loss of the season this past Saturday in a 2-1 overtime loss to Hanover College. Scoring for the Little Giants was Stojan Krsteski ’18. “I think we have played well,” Head Coach Chris Keller said. “We were a very defensive team last year, but we are creating a lot more opportunities to score this year and we are excited for these next few games.” The Little Giants struck first early in the match when Krsteski connected with Cory Sims ‘18 pass in the ninth minute of the match. However this would be evened by a Panther goal in the thirty-third minute. This would conclude the scoring in the first half. The second half would be disappointing for both teams IAN WARD ‘19 / PHOTO as neither could connect with Spase Dorsuleski ‘18 passes to a teammate cutting towards the goal. the net.
