There are many important leadership roles that exist across Cedarville’s campus. Among these roles are the Resident Assistants (RA). Students placed in RA positions serve as spiritual leaders and disciplers for their dorms.
One of the RAs of Willets, junior Emma Litchfield said as an RA, it’s important for people to respect the rules set in place and also to have a good heart posture behind it.

‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ episodes 5 & 6 give the series its best and its most frustrating moments
By Ben Konuch
“If you can help, then you must help.”
Spoiler warning for episodes five and six of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.”
So far, the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series has reached some pretty high highs and some very low lows. When it's at its best, the series follows the story beats of “The Lightning Thief” novel while not being afraid to change up events details in order to allow the story to fit best on a screen. When it’s at its worst, however, ...
ALT 3 Launches the New Semester at Cedarville University
Despite the cold, students gathered to enjoy a night of yard games, silent disco, and a dodgeball tournament at ALT 3. Food trucks offered warm refreshments, and the night ended with the showing of Remember the Titans. ALT nights are hosted and organized by the Campus Activities Board (CAB) at Cedarville University.

‘Mean Girls’ is a nostalgic mash-up of the film and Broadway musical
By Anna Harman
I love musicals and theater, as well as the original film, so I was interested to see what they did with this movie.
I knew this would be different from the original movie since it is a musical, but this film was significantly more cheesy. Of course, “Mean Girls” was always intended to be a bit ridiculous, portraying how absurd the Plastics act in the film, but there were several factors in the 2004 version that made it more tolerable. The Plastics looked the ...
‘The Gilded Age’ fills a ‘Downton Abbey’ sized hole in my heart
By Janie Walenda
My first introduction to the wide world of television beyond children’s cartoons came in the form of a “Downton Abbey” marathon. My family was staying at my Gran’s for Christmas, and I shared a room with her. She always watches television at night, and this Christmas there happened to be a “Downton Abbey” marathon running. I was thrown into the middle of season two, and from that moment, I was hooked.
Flash forward to 2022, when “The Gilded Age”, a new ...
Cedarville leads the G-MAC after gritty win against Malone
By Emily Tuttle
The Cedarville Yellow Jackets (14-5) defeated Malone University (9-10) 68-59 on Wednesday night. They improved to 8-1 in conference play and hold the top spot in the G-MAC.
The Jackets struggled offensively all night. They couldn’t seem to buy a shot in a win where their defense came up large.
They shot only 38.2% from the field despite creating some great looks. It just didn't seem to be their night, but they dug deep and figured out how to win.

‘The Beekeeper’ is the action-packed thriller we all needed
By Anna Harman
I wasn’t sure what to expect from David Ayer’s latest film, “The Beekeper.” All I knew was that it was an action movie about a beekeeper, which sounded odd without any context about the film. What I found out, however, was that it was surprisingly a thrilling, action packed film that was well worth the watch.
“The Beekeper” starts very slowly, introducing Adam Clay (Jason Statham), an ex-commando who has retired and taken on the hobby of beekeeping. ...
