Despite common interest, marriage is not the only post-graduation option for Eastern students
In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul talks about marriage, a topic that seems to be quite important to Eastern students. The most oft-quoted verse is often 7:9: “but if they are not practicing self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion” (NRSV). However, […]
Permits, parking and the virtues of booting cars
I turn into campus and start hoping that the “Lot is full” sign was mistaken. Maybe someone is just leaving McInnis, or even better, the library. I barrel around the curves of Thomas Drive at a speed distinctly unrelated to the 16 mph limit posted. As I round the last […]

Deconstructing the debate on Refuge
My friend in New Hampshire, who shall go unnamed, walked into a church and told the pastor after introductions, “I’m gay.” He was told to leave the premises immediately. This happened at many churches. He does not go to church anymore. My guy friend is a virgin. He wants to […]
Pennswood housing canceled
Pennswood housing has been canceled for the 2007-2008 school year. Vice President of Student Development Bettie Ann Brigham made the decision in consultation with Vice President of Finance Wes Bryan on April 26. The decision was made because, with the construction of Eagle Hall anticipated to be finished in the […]
Internships: Advantages
While baby-sitting, grass-cutting and working at McDonald’s show that you have work experience, they will not impress prospective employers. Contrary to popular belief, internships do not provide lessons on glorified coffee making and paper filing. Rather, they give students the chance to gain hands-on experience in a possible future profession. […]
