Deciphering the Deterioration of Democracy
Bolivia tries to navigate its way to a legitimate presidential election and be a stable nation
By Breanna Beers
While Americans were fighting over whether to impeach their president, Bolivians went ahead and ousted theirs.
On Oct. 20, 2019, Bolivia held a presidential election. Three months later, the country still lacks a democratically elected executive. In the associated protests, 33 people have been killed, over 800 wounded, and more than 1,500 arrested.

Pharmacy Org Movie Event Explores Society’s Perceptions of Mental Illness
By Madeleine Mosher
Recently at the pharmacy where she works, Christina Capo was making monthly calls with patients to discuss health concerns.
Capo knew one of the patients she would call was older and sick, which meant they were at-risk for depression. Capo made sure to ask questions during the 20-minute call that would screen the patient for the illness. When the patient gave concerning answers, Capo contacted the patient’s doctor.
Situations like this are why the leadership of ...

Cedarville Student Interns with Cincinnati Bengals
By Bryson Durst
While many Americans enjoy watching football games, few get to experience the inner workings of a professional football team.
Cedarville senior Kelsey Howell grew up watching the sport but did not expect that she would one day get, as she said, “to be a part of something that is such a huge part of the American culture.”
That changed last fall when Howell interned as an athletic trainer with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Howell is an athletic training major, a course of ...

We asked which professors you would like to hear from, and they responded with some of their hopes and wishes for the new year.

Just Sayin’ – Mourning and Dancing: Reflections on my Last Semester
By Alex Hentschel
I had a sudden realization as I headed to my capstone research course on Tuesday morning: This is it, my last semester of undergrad. As anxious as I am for the new season of my life to begin, it caused some hard reflection as I realized that my time as a bachelor student — who isn’t expected to have everything, or rather, anything, figured out — is coming to a rapid close. Before I know it, I’ll be packing up our small house and leaving this tiny town, maybe forever. ...

By Abigail HintzThe Lady Jackets (14-3, 7-3 G-MAC) began their four-game G-MAC homestand on Saturday night with a 78-52 win over the Ohio Valley Fighting Scots (2-13, 1-10 G-MAC).
Head coach Kari Hoffman said, “We knew it would be a tough game. [Ohio Valley has] been in so many games that they’ve played in.

WATCH: Kollin Van Horn Baptizes Defender on Powerful Dunk
by Tim Miller
Sophomore forward Kollin Van Horn only scored two points in the Cedarville Yellow Jackets' 97-76 thrashing of Ohio Valley on Saturday afternoon. But those two points were likely the most impressive of his career.
With 17:47 left in the second half, Van Horn etched his name in Cedarville history with one of the greatest dunks in program history. Although the 6-8 big man isn't know as a high-flyer, Van Horn took some aggression out on the hoop, disregarding a Fighting Scot ...
