Peeling back the SCAB
For a Cedarville student, many hilarious puns, such as “pick us; we’ll bleed for you,” are associated with SCAB, the Student Center Activity Board.

Cedarville Freshmen Abound on Basketball Teams
Freshman year is a time when memories are made: walking into the wrong room on the first day of classes, falling in love with a mysterious stranger, feeling the adrenaline rush as one gets back to the dorm two minutes after curfew, the list can go on. But year one is also a time of transition from high school to college, and some people handle the change more smoothly than others.
This transition is magnified in the collegiate sports world. Freshman athletes have to adapt to competition at ...
Sports Streaming: An Ethical Dilemma for Cedarville Students
Sunday afternoons present a challenge for NFL fans on campus. How can students watch their favorite teams? In the dorm lounges, students are limited by regional coverage showing the Bengals, Browns or the “Game of the Week” chosen by CBS or Fox.
One easy solution that many students resort to for this problem is watching the game on the Internet. A simple Google search of “NFL live streaming” presents a multitude of websites showing any NFL game, or any other sporting event, seemingly ...
Midterms Could Sway 2016 Election
On November 4, American voters will elect 435 congressmen to the House of Representatives and 33 Senators to make up the 114th Congress.
“I believe this is a very crucial election and the presidential election after is very crucial,” said Richard Tison, professor of history at Cedarville. “Should (Republicans) pick up control of both houses and go on to win the presidency, then they have an opportunity to affect change.”
The Democrats hold the majority in the Senate with 55 out of ...
Student Spotlight – Joseph Vadala: Band Leader
Joseph Vadala, leader of the band Highland, turns life’s discord into rock music.
When his long-distance girlfriend blindsided him with a break-up, he wept and watched “Everybody Loves Raymond.” He stayed in his room. He didn’t eat or drink for 50 hours.
Finally, he went to his keyboard, and within 30 minutes he had written a song called “Won’t Be Tonight.”
“The verses are very much my tears on paper,” said Vadala, a senior and computer science major.
That song ...

Stepping Up Their Game: JV to Varsity
The chasm between JV and varsity sports is much greater at the collegiate level than in high school. It takes more than determination, sacrifice, time and athleticism, although it still requires all of these elements, to move from junior varsity to varsity in college. It takes something more.
Ethan Lee, a senior finance major and forward on the soccer team, is another athlete who made his way from JV to varsity.
During his freshman year at Delaware’s Seaford High, Lee worked his way ...
