University Crusader Seniors Say Goodbye: Corey Beebe by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“Before I wrote for the Crusader I thought, "I don't know if I want to do that. I'm an English Writing major. I don't want to write news, I want to write creatively." Well, let me tell you, it takes some creativity to get students to pick up a newspaper every week in a one-horse town that isn't particularly newsworthy.”
University Crusader Seniors Say Goodbye: Aaron Mueller by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“When I first stepped into Smith Music Center 224 (aka the pub lab) almost four years ago, I didn't know just how many hours I would spend in that crowded, stuffy office. I didn't know just how many sleepless nights I would spend there planning, writing and designing the campus newspaper.”
Baseball Team Gets Back to Basics by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“Going into April the Spring Arbor University baseball team had a disappointing 10-8 record, suffering injuries to four key players. Coming out of April the Cougars are 28-9 and have clinched their conference. The list of those injured in early April included veteran pitcher Cody "Louie" Sharp who took a line drive to his wrist, junior infielder Jeff Hollister with a knee injury, senior pitcher/infielder Jesse Bachman with a pulled hamstring and junior outfielder Jon Herbig with a concussion after he dove headfirst into an outfield wall in pursuit of a fly ball.”
University Crusader Seniors Say Goodbye: Kate Christmann by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“Twenty one is a terrifying number. As I lounge in my standard issue dorm chair, contemplating this final assignment, it is the number of days I have until someone in a black gown and a funny hat hands me an empty diploma folder. It is the number of days until all my belongings must be jammed into boxes and hauled out of this tiny town for the last time.”
University Crusader Seniors Say Goodbye: Abby Wood by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“Music in Tennessee and hanging out Although my time with the Crusader has been short, I had an amazing time working with these people. I wish I'd gotten on board much earlier. One thing I've learned is that journalism can in fact be fun, and if you write like you know what you're talking about, people will actually listen to you.”
The Rescue: Nothing will stop us by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“It was a sunny, warm afternoon on Saturday, as 20 of us Spring Arbor students headed off for Grand Rapids with one mission in mind. No one quite knew what to expect; how many people would there be? Would anyone care? Was it really going to rain? But despite the questions, off we went.”
Political Roundup: Unknown torture by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“America does not torture. We are a civilized nation. Dehumanizing detainees and then justifying it with permission slips is unjust. America should be the example for any developing nation. We learn from our mistakes and correct them. We don't justify them with a memo from legal counsel within our own government like they are permission slips to go to the bathroom when you're in sixth grade.”
<strong.Spring Arbor University: Campus of the (prospective) students by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“You wait in line for five minutes to get into the overly crowded DC and you notice something. The food actually is decent-not just decent, the best all year. You then walk into your classroom for your Bible class and you notice some families sitting in the back and the professor opens the class in prayer for the first time all year.”
Piano Proficiency by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“For all worship arts majors one thing is always on their minds, particularly as their senior year approaches- the piano proficiency exam. However, some worship arts students have begun to ask why certain aspects of the piano proficiency are required, why their teachers aren't helping to prepare them more and if it is possible for them to have alternatives to the keyboard based exam.”
Goodbye Bubble! by Spring Arbor University CrusaderJan 01, 2013“For many Spring Arbor University seniors, the next several weeks will be stressful as they try to formulate their post-graduate plans. And with employers planning to hire 22 percent fewer graduates this spring (according to the Association of Colleges and Employers), it is a scary and uncertain world that they are entering.” | News Topics
