Well we’ve passed the midway mark, if you’ve made it this far you can make it all the way. At least that’s what you have to tell yourself when its 2am and you still have an essay due at 8am that you haven’t started or when you’re so stressed out you won-der if your degree is worth your health. Yep, that’s midterms it can be a time when a lot of doubt comes into your mind, whether you are a freshman or a senior you begin to wonder if you really know what you’re doing and if you belong where you are at. I turned 20 a week ago and I feel like I need to really start figuring out who I am, where I am and where I want to go. The fortunate thing is it is never too late to figure that out, no one really knows for sure but figuring out what your real goal is important. It’s a lesson I learnt from How I Met Your Mother, once you figure out your goal you need to make sure that every decision you make is leading you closer to that goal. It helps you stay focused on the bigger picture and realize what things you need to cut out of your life because it is becoming dead weight. So when you think you can’t survive one more OChem test remember just how much you want to be a doctor or a dentist or another Greek test how much you want to be a pastor, or a lawyer, or a teacher, you are here for a reason to further that pursuit, take courage and do not be weighed down by the forces that seem to oppose you. This summer I found one of my journals from when I was maybe 10 and I had outlined my “biggest dreams in life” it was in rereading that passage that I realized how passionate I had once been and how that fire had started to cool. The number one goal was to be a New York Times Bestselling Author, the other two were also related to being an accomplished author. But as I slug through essays and hours of reading I loose faith in those dreams but although I can’t always see it every essay I write and every book I read is honing my skill for later use. I hope you can also find this to be true in your classes. When you think I’ll never use this information again try to focus on how learning it will improve your life and education further down the line. Remember we all said we’d never use math again when we were in grade three but regret it every time we need to make the minutest calculation.

God Bless, Rebekah

What an exciting year it has already been! Aside from the fact that we are indeed still suffering the scorching trials of midterms, and still managing to coast by without snow (yet! Beware!), I would say we are doing pretty good, don’t you think? I mean come on, we have already seen so many new things happening around campus already!

Have you guys checked out The Hideout a.k.a the CUC/PAA SA student lounge yet? I was so honored to hold an end of the red ribbon that was cut by Dr. Fehr and proceed to walk into the beautiful refurbished student space! New couches, air hockey tables, pool tables, you name it – the space looks great and it was a much needed one too. Did you guys check out the new SA website, at www.mycucsa.com ? Well, you should. Did you hear that SA is going to be releasing a wonderful list of companies, franchises, and local businesses that will be giving CUC students and faculty discounted prices for their goods and services? YEAH. Oh, and BTW, we are holding a movie night at THE POOL this weekend! It’s never been done before,BUT that’s definitely happening too.

I hear that Campus Ministries is working on getting the Spiritual Life Center going and it’s almost ready! And how about the news of the reopening of the Chan Shun Science center on Friday this week?! Alright. Alright. Sorry, I’m sounding like an overly enthusiastic SA president, I know. But hey, then again, is there ever such a thing as OVERLY ENTHUSIASTIC?! Okay, maybe there is.

This is my point. Too often we forget to appreciate the things we see around us, for-get to thank the people that put so much hard work into getting things done that can help make our life on and off campus easier. So this week, I challenge you to say thank you. Not any mere thank you, but a THANK YOU – the overly ENTHUSIASTIC SA PRESIDENT styled one!

Love, Nisha.

Sunday At Seven X 2BY BIANCA BASTON

Sunday, November 9, 2014 at 7:00 pm - College Heights SDA Church

ORGAN SHOWCASE: CARI ASTLEFORD & GRACE HAN

Youthful exhuberance! Two of Alberta’s top young organists, Cari Astleford and Grace Han, present an exciting and diverse program showcasing the huge array of sounds and colours of the university’s beautiful Casavant pipe organ. An evening of mesmerizing musical and performing prowess!

For all you newbies or book worms that don’t get out much, Sun-day at Seven is a wonderful selection of concerts right here on cam-pus featuring accomplished Canadian musicians. Sponsored by vari-ous businesses in Lacombe, Sunday at Seven is an amazing way to experience new and exciting music right here on campus! Better yet, IT’S FREE. Well, free for us CUC studeents. Need I say more? I am going to say more anyway because I’d love to see you guys at the next Sunday at Seven concert! First off, I don’t want readers to write this concert series off as something for music majors and stuffy, old staff members only (none of you staff members are stuffy in the least!). So far, the first two concerts have been extremely exciting and defi-nitely not boring. The first concert was on October 5th and featured the Fung Chiu Duo. Janelle Fung and Phillip Chiu are two very ac-complished pianists who showed off their chops on one piano...at the same time. Yup, these two played an eclectic mix of pieces arranged for four hands. And let me tell you, it was a spectacle. Not only are they born performers, but they are hilarious to boot. Their repertoire was inspired by Shakespeare’s work. To give you an idea, their pieces

ranged from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story to Mendelsohn’s Wedding March in A Midsummer’s Night Dream. They were ener-getic, exciting and extremely enthusiastic. It was impossible to not get caught up in it all. The Fung Chiu Duo would also like to reiter-ate that they are not in a relationship. Regardless, they have chem-istry on the piano. The second Sunday at Seven concert took place on October 19th and featured the renowned Angèle Dubeau and La Pietà, an all-woman string orchestra. I am going to control myself as much as possible but simply, IT WAS AMAZING. The repertoire featured music from the movies and showcased Fiddler on the Roof, Pirates of the Caribeean, and a mashup of some classic Ennio Morri-cone. Needless to say, I got quite emotional. For the first encore, they played “My Heart Will Go On” from the Titanic and my romantic heart was in pieces. I was completely mesmerized the entire concert and I couldn’t get enough of their beautiful playing. Men, you missed a great date opportunity. But fear not! There will be others! Keep your eyes peeled for the next announcement and I hope to see you there.

NEXT SUNDAY @ 7

EventsCanoeing Expedition 2014BY KAITLYNNE WINSOR

If asked to describe the typical Outdoor Pursuits major, most students –including the OP majors themselves – will tell you that this select group of people are rather down to earth individuals, adven-turous, possibly a little crazy. But there is a darker side to the OP major that tends to go undetected, a side that is just slightly sadistic. Between the battle of the elements, chronically cold hands and feet, and the oc-casional appearance of wildlife in closer proximity to oneself then you would usually find comfortable, OP majors have found comfort in the telling, and retell-ing of the most miserable experiences of those who have gone before us on the mandatory field trips, many of which are happily provided by the profes-sors themselves. One narrative in particular tells of the solo survival camping trip of one girl who com-plained of being lonely to the instructor who showed up to check on her. When asked what could possibly be done to help her feel better, she replied with all seriousness, “I miss my goldfish.”

Every year, each OP student is required to ac-company their classes on various field trips; which include everything from rock wall climbing in the Rocky Mountains, to pulling people out of trees dur-ing mock rescues for Wilderness 1st aid in British Columbia. This semester, our last year’s freshmen (myself included) left the comfort of our homes and dorm rooms to brave the South Saskatchewan Riv-er for a canoeing expedition, the duration of which could be anywhere from four to nine days in length, and during this time would endure high winds, de-hydrated vegetables, and certain gas lit stoves with a history of spouting small fire balls at the face of the unsuspecting outdoor chef. If ever you encounter an OP major who is missing their eyebrows, don’t ask. It’s probably a sensitive topic.

As is the OP tradition, our small expedition de-parted from the parking lot of the Outdoor Pursuits department around five in the morning, a sacrifice necessary in order to reach our destination in reason-able time. The canoes, backpacks, and paddles having been loaded several days previous, the bus pulls away from campus, and as it does a strange phenomenon occurs, in which each person will become acutely aware of the fact that they are leaving their “goldfish” behind. The canoeing trip itself would last a total of five days, and although cut short, the time would feel full; from the start of our journey on day one with canoes running a minor set of rapids backwards, to portaging the canoes up the face of a small cliff in or-der to attain a favorable campsite, to the final evening spent camped beside a small river ferry. No OP field trip is ever like the one that came before it, and each is filled with its own challenges and unique outcomes, which is the main attraction for those of us who par-ticipate as we become a part of new experience that someday we might share with the next generation to brave the elements.

Sisters of SoulBY EMILY CORTEZ

Last Saturday night was the annual “Sisters of Soul” event on campus, this event was set up to not only bring awareness to breast cancer but to raise money for funding to find a cure. The event was filled with singing acts, instrumental pieces and a spoken word piece. My personal favourite act was Candice and Enoch preforming “My girl” during the donation portion. There were people dancing, myself included, and just jamming with the performers. They were the icing on the cake, everything was done so passionately and everyone’s heart was on the floor once they were done. From the opening act from the acapella group “Release” and their mash-up of Adele’s songs “Rumor has it” and “Somebody like you” to Enoch and Candice’s two pieces and encore performance; the night was filled with good music, poetry, energy, and lots of fundraising. “Sisters of Soul” reflected on a woman’s beauty with Jessica Hall and friends, to finding strength in Christ with “Unspoken Testimony” and the gospel choir. At the end of the night they had fundraised two thousand dollars and no doubt have raised more since then with other donations. Everything done that night was done to uplift the women and men fighting breast cancer and to the glory of God.

Photographs: Squares of Time

We keep the reels; put them into books and frames but what is it that we really, truly sa-vour? Is it those moments that are frozen that have been saved from the cruelties of time? But looking back, what do you see? You do not see only faces or the beauty of the scenery but you stare hours on end and reminisce those memories. The expression on your faces, the people you were with, and almost instantly you step through the 4x6 matte frame – be-ing reacquainted with the sights, smells, and sounds; the way the sun was shining on your face or how the wind ruffled your hair, the feeling in your heart only wanting to stay there. Pictures are not just pieces of paper that end up in a scrapbook but they are the greatest legacies of time. And then in a moment that seems like a blink of an eye you are reliving memories and emotions, both good and bad. What better way is there to live in the moment but to be able to live them forever.

We’re at an intersting place in our history at CUC, things are changing as the generations change and CUC has to adapt like the rest of the church and the world at large. CUC is now at a crossroads, as we search for a new name that will embrace all that we offer and all that we hope to achieve. Stu-dents sugggested names such as Barnett Univeristy, Canadian Adventist University, Aurora Univer-sity and many more. Now those names along with those the faculy and alumni have suggested will go through a series of boards and systems, the result of which we should hear by next semester. As we look forward it can be helpful to look back these, pieces come from the 1925 paper, The Northern Light when CUC was CJC, Canadian Junior College.

Volleyball trip to TexasBY JENNICA SANTOMIN

“Sorry, we’re closed,” said the lady as she was putting away fried rice and vege-tables. But upon seeing more than twenty people walk past the restaurant window and into the doors of Panda Express, she immediately decided that the place was not closed that late into the night. Even though most of the food was taken away and workers were washing the last dishes, she ran into the kitchen telling the chefs to cook and make food for all of us as she began to take orders for what we wanted. After most of us were stuffed and ready to head back to the vans, they insisted on giving away the leftovers they had cooked for us. We did not object and expressed our gratitude for what they had done for us was unheard of saying we were from a Canadian university and were travelling to play volleyball with teams in Texas. Upon hearing that we were from Canada, the whole staff rallied us all together for one big group picture to remember us by. It was a warm welcome to Texas for both the men and women’s volleyball teams.

That was just the first of many warm welcomes to Texas. Southwestern Adventist University hosted us CUC stu-dents for the six days we were there. Each team played a total of five games each with the guys winning four out of the five. Our teams enjoyed touring the cam-pus in a climate that was many degrees higher than what we would normally ex-pect back home and the camaraderie that came with getting to know not only our teammates better but also the SWAU stu-dents.

There were many highlights on the trip like enjoying one of America’s most loved sporting events—football—by heading over to the Dallas Cowboys game, braving the rollercoasters at Six Flags, shopping at the many outlets, and marveling at how cheap Taco Bell was, whilst stuffing ourselves with many tacos at a time. However, one of the most mem-orable experiences for me was cheering on the guys as they played against the SWAU Knights men’s volleyball team Sat-urday night with my team. The nine of us were just as loud, if not louder, than the entire gym of SWAU fans as we cheered the guys until the end when they won in four sets! CUC should know that if ever they need loud and enthusiastic fans to cheer for their home games, they should

look no further than their very own women’s volleyball team.

Needless to say, by the end of the trip, the looming regret of not do-ing enough homework or not studying as much for the classes we missed was stifled by realizing how blessed we all were to have had this experience. The fel-lowship we shared with the SWAU peo-ple and the memories we made were all worth it because school and homework will always be there but the opportunity we had to grow as teams and to make new connections were absolutely priceless

Sports

On the 19th of October, a Sunday, at 9 pm a loud electric sound pierced through the excited and al-most nervous crowd of students who were gathered at the Indoor Soccer Arena of the Collicutt Centre in Red Deer. Almost immediately a hushed silence came over the crowd as the arena was filled with the sound of a soccer ball being kicked around. The players were none other than the CUC’s Men Soc-cer (Away) team and the United FC team (Home). This was the first game of the new academic year and the first game the new soccer team would play outside the University. The first few minutes of the game were intense, with both sides playing well both offensively and defensively. As both sides tried to gain the upper hand, CUC forward, Jose Sanchez weaved through the players and before the defend-ers knew what had happened, Jose scored the first goal for CUC making the score 1-Nil. The students of CUC were up on the bleachers exploding exu-berantly with cheers, high-fiving each other and shouting out Jose’s name. This was just a premoni-tion of how the game would turn out. Soon after, Kelvin Kublall scored the second goal for CUC after receiving an amazing cross from mid-fielder Yuot Tut. This was undoubtedly a victory for CUC. Not even into half time and the score was 2-Nil, in favor of CUC. Feeling the pressure, the opposing soccer team tried to pick up the game and attempted a couple of shots at the goal. Kieron Ottley, the goalie, leapt into the air on numerous occasions to deflect and save the ball against powerful shots. Just before half time United FC scored a goal,

making the score 2-1 in favor of CUC. After a brief intermission the game picked up again. After an intense battle between the opposing players to keep possession of the ball, United FC got a lucky break by intercepting a pass from the goalie to-wards a defender to make a goal. Spectators on both sides were beside themselves with excitement as the game fell on equal footing as the score became 2-2. United FC started picking up the pace of the game and played heavy on the offensive. CUC defenders like Eric Boateng, Kingsley Moyo, Joshua Cana-les, Michael Jakovac, along with Kieron’s amazing goal keeping kept United FC from scoring on CUC again. Soon Jose intercepted the ball from United’s mid-fielder as they were attempting to score and made his way past the half line and shot with preci-sion and made a goal for CUC clinching the victory for CUC against United FC.

Talking to Kelvin after the game, he attributed the victory to God and amazing teamwork. He want-ed to dedicate the goal to his family, especially his mom. When asked whether he gets tired of playing soccer he replied, “I’m attracted to soccer’s capacity for beauty. When well played, the game is a dance with the ball.” Jose said that he saw an opportunity and took it to make the first goal and to make his second goal he stole the ball and made his way flu-idly around the defenders for the victory shot. He wanted to thank God for the opportunity, without whom this wouldn’t have been made possible. This game was the debut performance for Josh Canales, Etienne Harushimana, and Yuot Tut’s for CUC, making their team and university proud. Josh Brad-burn, a second year student at CUC, said that this was the best men’s soccer game he had been too and he can’t wait for the season to begin to see the Men’s soccer team in action again.

Updated Ramen

Ramen is an easy way to make a meal in mere minutes, but the salty seasoning that comes with the noodles is full of MSG and loaded with sodium. To make your ramen healthier, hold the seasoning packet and instead add steamed veggies and a salad dressing for flavor. To steam veggies in the microwave, simple put them in a microwave-safe bowl with a 2-3 tablespoons of water, cover the top with a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 3-4 minutes. Microwave your noodles in a separate bowl with water and top Asian salad dressing (like sesame miso or a soy ginger sauce) and your veggies.

In a perfect world, none of us would ever pay a bill late. Collection agencies would pay their bills, in full, three business days early.

But. Suppose- just suppose!- that sometimes you are getting to the end of the month and cash is tight. this iss pure, pure hypothetical territory we’re moving into here, the quantum mechanics of grownupness.

Step 216: Know which bills you can be late on

From Kellly Williams book; Adulting, How to be an Adult in 468 Easy(ish) Steps.

But if that were to happen, make sure you have your own internal order of who gets paid, first to last.

Rent and credit companies should be right up there at the top, rent because it’s the biggest and most important expense and credit cards because they will slap you with a thirty-dollar late fine or a nastily high interest rate so fast your head will spin. Toward the bottom should be cable/Internet/cell phone because if things became truly dire, your world could continue to turn without them.

In the middle will be utilities, insurance, and student loans. Again, utilities and insurance are really important, and student loan companies are nearly as quick to tattle to the credit agencies as credit card companies.

Want to know God’s will for your life? Then an-swer this question: What ignites your heart? For-gotten orphans? Untouched nations? The inner city? The outer limits?

Heed the fire within! Do you have a passion to sing? Then sing! Are you stirred to manage? Then manage! Do you ache for the ill? Then treat tem! Do you hurt for the lost? Then teach

them!As a young man I felt the call to preach. Unsure

if I was correct in reading of God’s will for me, I sought the counsel of a minister I admired. His counsel still rings true. “Don’t preach,” he said, “unless you have to.”

As I pondered his words I found my answer:“I have to. If I don’t, the fire will consume me.”What is the fire that consumes you?
