Rams remember lost amily member
Daniel McGary

Marie Moser Click was a
great friend of Texas Wesley-
an and its students for as long
as anyone can remember.
Glick, who died April 11
at age 103, had been a part
of the Wesleyan community
since 1938.
That was when she mar-
ried Dr. Walter Glick, dean
of the School of Education at
the time. They moved into a
two-story brick house right
off campus, now Glick House.
Glick's service to the uni-
versity spanned several gen-
erations of students, faculty
and administrators.
"She really loved Wesleyan,
and contributed so much to
it during her long life," said
Joan Canty, vice president of
advancement. "She donated
money to help students pay
their tuition way back in the
1930s, and she contributed to
the funding for the new Jack
and Jo Willa Morton Fitness
Center last year. That's over
70 years of great service to
Wesleyan."
Canty said she recalls how
enthusiastic Glick was about
the direction the university
is going in with its growing
campus and new programs.
"She contributed to so
many of the programs that
we've started at Wesleyan
during the past several years,"
Canty said. "The new doctor-
ate in nurse anesthesia pro-
gram, programs in the School
of Business and counseling
programs—it meant so much
to her to see the university
expand, and she wanted to
contribute."
Dr. Jane Moore, professor
of mathematics, said she re-
calls there were times when
Glick took in international
students who did not have a
place to live.
"She really loved Wesleyan,
and she would do everything
she could to help students,"
Moore said. "She funded a lot
of scholarships; she helped a
lot of people finish their de-
grees, who otherwise might
not have.
It was very important to her
that people who began work
on their degrees stayed and
finished them."
Dr. Sandra Hart, professor
of business, said she recalls
Glick's love of traveling and
Wesleyan international stu-
dent programs.
"She really believed in help-
ing foreign exchange student
programs and helping inter-
national students," Hart said.
"She helped fund global study
programs, like the Irish ex-
change program, and trips for
students to study in Mexico."
Glick not only helped
countless students during
their time at Wesleyan, she
also honored their accom-
plishments after they left.
"She gave some of the bricks
in front of the library with the
names of students she knew,
as well as some faculty mem-
bers," Moore said. "She left
her mark on the university in
so many ways."
Her contributions to the
university include the two-
story brick house where she
lived until 1988 when she
turned 80.
At that time, she donated
the house to the university.
In 2008, the house was reno-
vated and became the Glick
House Community Counsel-
ing Center.
The Glick House has since
become a part of the Wesleyan
community, providing office
space and patient counseling
rooms, as well as a place to
train graduate students in the
counseling program.

Summer plans call or penguins, aco Cabana

As the school year at Texas Wes-
leyan conies to an end, students are
busy working on final projects, pa-
pers and counting down the days
until summer officially begins.
Plans for June, July and August are
also piling up.
Raquel Dent, freshman biology
major, said she plans to travel at the
end of June.
"I am going to Atlanta, Georgia to
see my family," Dent said. "We are
going to Six Flags, water parks."
After Atlanta, Dent and her family
will continue on to Florida.
"We are going to Orlando to visit
all the theme parks like Universal
and Wet and Wild," Dent said. "With
the parks, my cousin who is fifteen,
plays basketball and her team is trav-
eling to Orlando for a big girls' tour-
nament. I am excited to see her play."
Paxton Davies, a senior history
major, has a different approach this
summer.
"I have an undeniable love for ani-
mals," Davies said. "I also love being
outdoors, mainly the frontier."
After he graduates this May, Da-
vies said he plans on making some
money before he leaves for Alaska.
Fie has accepted an internship with
Bering Land Bridge Nation Preserve,
where he plans to work with pen-
guins.
"I anticipate by the end of the sum-
mer, I will be operating a fledgling
penguin service across the globe,
and if that doesn't work out, I hope I
get into law school," Davies said.
Octavia Mullins, junior business
major, said she has a jam-packed
summer.
"I am working at Taco Cabana this
summer, weeknights and most of the
weekends," Mullins said. "I am also
taking two summer classes to keep
ahead of my schooling."
Although her summer seems busy
with all work and no play, Mullins
said she will take a break at the end
of May to go to New Orleans.
"Some friends of mine are going
with me to Bourbon Street in New
Orleans to just have some fun be-
fore all the work starts," Mullins said.
"Although the last weeks of school
can get difficult with last minute as-
signments, the summer is only a few
weeks away!*
With finals coming up in the next
two weeks, summer plans are still in
the works for some students.

ing plans for staycations that won't

New online feature offered to help
students register for ixture classes
Thomas Lagomichos

An evolving online fea-
ture, E-Advising is now
available to all Wesleyan
students.
The function, which
works through student's
RamLink accounts, allows
students to plan for classes
two semesters in advance.
All students, except lib-
eral studies majors, are re-
quired to use e-advising for
class registration but per-
sonal interaction with ad-
visers is maintained.
Meghan Foster, Title III
Instructional Technolo-
gist said e-advising allows
students to plan out their
courses and what semes-
ter they want to take those
courses.
"You can actually create a
full road map of where you
are now all the way to grad-
uation and that's the advan-
tage of e-advising," Foster
said. "One of the reasons
why you [students] come
to Wesleyan is because it's
a small school. You get to
have that day-to-day inter-
action with faculty mem-
bers in ways that you can't
get at other schools or uni-
versities."
The School of Business
was the first to pilot E-Ad-
vising a year and a half ago.
E-Advising was one of the
components of a Title III
grant of nearly $2 million,
awarded to the university in
2007.
Multiple training sessions
for faculty members of each
school at Wesleyan have
been held.
Advising Specialist April
May said students and fac-
ulty are now knowledgeable
when speaking with each
other.
"It is our goal to make
sure the faculty understand
everything so that they can
help you," May said.
Training workshops have
been available for students
every Wednesday following
Spring Break, and will con-
tinue next fall.
Deborah Roark, director
of grants and research and
Title III specialist, said e-
advising was one of many
components Wesleyan used
the Title III grant money
for. Roark said the cost of
e-advising was more than
$26,000.
Roark said Wesleyan be-
lieves the e-advising tool is
adding an advantage to the
Wesleyan Signature Experi-
ence.
"It helps students, it helps
faculty and it helps the in-
stitutional administration
plan for courses that we
need," Roark said. "The
whole Title III grant was
about strengthening the
university to make us stron-
ger, to make us better, to
make us move into this 21st
century and move forward
and it's one of those tools."
"I've never used E-advis-
ing before but it seems like
it could be useful for plan-
ning ahead," said Michael
Dieu Merci, freshman bio-
chemistry major.
Students can access train-
ing videos on the Texas
Wesleyan website at www.

ing.htm.

ing feature and plan

Students slip into summer
Jillian Jones
jhjones@mail. txwes. edu
On the last day of classes, the annual
Slip ri Slide pre-celebration of summer
will bring some fun into the stressful
time before finals.
Slip Into Summer, an annual event
hosted by Student Life, is set for 11 a.m.
-2 p.m. May 3, in the lawn area behind
the Eunice and James L. West Library.
Students can channel their inner
child by slipping down a large slide, fly-
ing down on inflatables and participat-
ing in the Hawaiian racing lane.
The slide will start at the base of the library
and extend all the way to Dora Robert's Cafe.
"I've been to all the previous Slip
n' Slide events and they are always so
much fun," said Amy Craddock, senior
psychology major.
Student Life is also providing free food
and a live band for students to enjoy.
Baron Yarborough, junior business
management major and assistant co-
ordinator of student life activities, said
the Slip Into Summer event reminds
students college is not about making
life difficult; it also provides students
with a fun study break.
The live music will be the newest ad-
dition to the event.
"I've been in charge of this event for
three years, and we try to add something
each year to keep things exciting," said
Michael Chaney, coordinator of student
activities, volunteerism and organizations.
Chaney said Slip Into Summer is free
and all of the Wesleyan community is
invited to join in the fun.

dated with your summertime adventures

gust before next fall, when the next print
edition of The Rambler hits stands.
