Lady Jackets’ Late Heroics Help Cedarville Make History
By: Alan Brads
The Cedarville women’s soccer team defeated McKendree 3-1 on Thursday night to claim their first NCAA Division II tournament game in school history.
The program qualified for the tournament just twice in the past, losing their opening match on both occasions.
This year on November 10 they wrote themselves into the history books, with two late goals to survive and advance.
Right forward Maya Ryder connected with fellow substitute forward Sophia Browndyke whose ...
Is the Red Wave Receding?
By Esther Fultz
Predicting political outcomes is, at best, challenging. Election results are influenced by a myriad of dynamic and complex factors, and what seems likely one day could prove inaccurate the next.
This past May, a red wave in Congress seemed probable. Economic and supply chain issues, the crisis at the southern border, and the United States’s response to international conflicts in Afghanistan and Ukraine all contributed to President Biden’s low approval ...
Black Friday is full of irony and crazy people
By Chris Karenbauer
It’s nearly midnight after you ate your hearty Thanksgiving meal. Bundled up in a big winter coat, you have been standing in the Kohl’s line for three hours. The only things you want are a new memory foam pillow and a couple toys at a discounted price. As the store doors open and people trample you to be the first inside, you wonder, “Who on earth decided Black Friday shopping is a good idea?”
Like many terrible ideas, such as the Eagles and “Pretty Little ...
‘Andor’ episode 7 is a masterful demonstration of consequences
By Ben Konuch
“As long as everyone thinks I’m an irritation, there’s a good chance they’ll miss what I’m really doing.”
With audiences still reeling from an explosive sixth episode, “Andor” demonstrates that the galaxy is reeling also. Episode seven is a masterful demonstration of how something seemingly as small as an isolated theft of Imperial funds at this point in history isn’t just a theft, but a statement. Just like the clanging alarms on Ferrix in Episode three, ...
Is ‘Midnights’ Taylor Swift’s Best Work Yet?
By Caroline Stanton
As a new Taylor Swift fan, I’ll admit that I didn’t know what to expect with the release of “Midnights.” I didn’t grow up a die-hard Swiftie, but as I have gotten older, wiser, and more learned of the ways of the world I can see that her wisdom rivals that of Socrates, her writing rivals Hemingway and she’s scarily relatable. I am pleased to say that she lived up to all my expectations.
To be completely transparent, I was underwhelmed by my first ...
“Only A Monster” is a supernatural romance riddled with ethical dilemmas
By Sophia Monastra
I’m the last person to give love advice, but generally speaking, if a guy kills your family, kills several other people, threatens to kill you if you time travel with mystic powers you only just learned you have, and has this prophecy that he’s destined to wipe out your entire race, this might be a red flag for your relationship.
To be fair, Joan didn’t know that her boyfriend Nick is the Hero, a mythical figure destined to end the line of monsters. She also ...
Dave Filoni once again exceeds all expectations with ‘Tales of the Jedi’
By Chris Karenbauer
I have waited a long time for “Tales of the Jedi” to drop, and let’s just say Dave Filoni has been exceeding my expectations since “The Clone Wars. “Tales of the Jedi” has six 15-minute episodes, and although I wish Filoni gave us more, it’s so well made that we don’t need more.
“Tales of the Jedi” follows two main characters: Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano. But I think the most interesting arc is Count Dooku. Yes, Ahsoka is a great character, and I ...
Will Neom City live up to its expectations?
By Esther Fulz
Innovative ideas have long captured the attention of individuals and organizations across the globe. Neom City, currently being built in Saudi Arabia in preparation for the 2029 Asian Winter Games, is no exception. The linear city will be over 175 km long and just 200 meters wide, and house the Gulf’s first outdoor ski resort and a man made freshwater lake. It’s planned to be powered with renewable energy.
Despite the novelty and excitement surrounding the idea ...
Cedarville’s retiree luncheon celebrates and brings together retired staff to honor their dedication to the university
By Rachel Anderson
Cedarville University hosts a monthly retiree luncheon, Reconnect, for retired faculty and staff on the first Tuesday of every month. The most recent luncheon was held on Nov. 1, 2022 in the Stevens Student Center event rooms with around 65 retired staff in attendance.
The event rooms were decorated with fall and Thanksgiving decor as the staff reconnected with coworkers and friends over soup and sandwiches. For some retired staff, this is one of the only events that ...
