Originally written as "Niké" after the winged Greek goddess of victory and pronounced as 'nI-kE, the name will lose its accent this year.
The staff is planning on spicing the book up with more color, through personal senior advertisements and fund raising.
"There are several changes we hope to make, mostly in layout, and we would love to do more writing that defines campus life at Wheaton," said Kirsten Schuler '08, Editor-in-Chief.
Nike is free to all Wheaton students and is annually released in the fall. Books are sent home to the graduating class, with the remainder of the students receiving them at the beginning of the following school year.
In addition to a more colorful look, Nike will have a new Arts section focused on local theater and performing arts at Wheaton and is looking for more art students to get involved with its creation.
"We want to improve our graphic design techniques and jazz it up. It will also help any beginning members with learning about Photoshop and InDesign," said Schuler.
Currently, Nike is looking for motivated students to help out. While members can apply for available positions, such as Campus Life Editor, Arts Editor, Sports Editor, Photography Editor, and Copy Editor, the staff is flexible.
Traditionally, the idea has vaguely pervaded that Nike is mainly for seniors but "it is open to everyone. Campus life should be more about the whole community and we are trying to get all the classes involved," said Schuler.
In developing this theme, Nike plans on including more photographs and information about clubs on campus, more in-depth sports coverage and better captured moments that makes our time at college memorable.
"I feel that it's a great way to reflect on what happened during the year. It's a special keepsake that lasts a long time, something that will be appreciated in 25 years," said Schuler.
