Proximity is a crucial issue for politicians, actors and knife throwers. In Washington, the closer one is to power, the better–in Hollywood it’s about the same. And in the illustrious world of throwing knives, being close to one’s target is essential (especially if the target is an apple resting on a friend’s shaky head). But […]

An Eastern student was recently arrested for driving under the influence, according to head of security Jack Sheehan. Early in the morning of April 8, a student who lives in Gough reported seeing a small, dark-colored car driving onto the turf soccer field. It drove around in a circle and then left the field. The

Some may doubt that social work is the most romantic of disciplines at Eastern, but Patience Domowski, a junior majoring in the field, has incorporated her love of children, adoption and international service into a published romantic novella.

This isn’t about guilt; it’s about action. This isn’t about blame; it’s about responsibility. This isn’t about some faceless, fragmented mass of humanity; it’s about your brother, your sister, your Savior. You do know this is about Jesus, don’t you?

There are chapel services every week, student chaplains in the residence halls and myriad opportunities for praise and worship. But here, unlike many other Christian colleges, those outward recognitions
