Constitution Day to Educate Students
by Emily Finlay
C
edarville is hosting a two-hour event
to celebrate Constitution Day and
educate students about the document’s
importance.
Mark Smith, associate professor of political
science, said the event will feature Brad Jacob,
a professor of constitutional law at Regent University. Smith said Jacob has come to Cedarville
multiple times over the last several years.
“He also has academic expertise in religion and the Constitution,” Smith said. “So he
often talks about religion, religious freedom in
light of the First Amendment.”
Jacob’s presentation is part of the Center
for Political Studies’ annual Constitution Day
event as part of a federally mandated remembrance day, set aside by Congress. According
to the Library of Congress, Congress set aside
Sept. 17 to commemorate the signing of the
Constitution in 1787. Congress wanted the memorial to educate Americans on their opportunities and duties as American citizens.
In 2004, Congress modified the law,
adding two new requirements and changing
the name to “Constitution Day and Citizenship
Day.” One requirement said schools receiving
federal funds must host programming for students on Sept. 17 as a commemoration.
Smith said schools approach the celebration differently. Some schools, he said, read
the Constitution as part of their commemoration. But the singular goal of the different celebrations is to enlighten students.
“I think Constitution Day is good because
it can get students who maybe aren’t in political science or aren’t in pre-law or aren’t in the
kind of a major that deals with the Constitution very often and it brings the Constitution
to their notice and it helps them understand,
hopefully, that the Constitution is an extremely important document,” Smith said. “And
because of that, we should understand it, not
just simply celebrate it, but understand it.
And so to me, anything we can do to aid in the
understanding of the Constitution is for the
better.”
Cedarville has approached these requirements by either holding large events for the
surrounding communities or, as in this year,
small events for students and faculty.
“Last year, we had Mike Huckabee on
campus for a really big event,” Smith said.
“This year, we’re not doing a really big event.
We’re just having a lecturer come in.”
Cedarville hosted Karl Rove, deputy
chief of staff under George W. Bush, in 2011,
as well as former presidential candidate
Huckabee in 2013. Generally, Smith said,
Cedarville has had external speakers, such as
local judges and professors like Jacob, speak
about their view of the Constitution.
Although the event is significantly smaller
this year, Smith said he believes Jacob will
4
provide students with the education and information they desire.
“Students are sometimes going to struggle
to understand the speakers, because if they’re
not really aware of the Constitution very much,
they might not fully understand what’s being
said,” Smith said. “Someone like Professor Jacob will do a good job at making everything understandable and hopefully interesting.”
The event will be held at 7 p.m., Sept.
18, in the Center for Biblical and Theological
Studies (BTS) room 104.

Lamp Post Signs Promote #Conversation
by Amy Radwanski
W
hen students arrived on campus this fall, some expressed confusion over an addition to the
occasional lamppost – campus hashtags.
Some students assumed the hashtags were
for Getting Started Weekend and occasionally
noticed the few changes in the next two weeks
as they remained posted.
The continuous campus hashtags are a pilot program, courtesy of the marketing department, to fit in with its goal of making Cedarville’s social media more purposeful.
The idea of advertising specific hashtags
originated in a marketing student team
meeting, led by Chad Jackson, director of
marketing and creative director of the Cedarville Magazine. Samantha Imber, one of the
members, mentioned how ineffective it is to
use different hashtags for the same event.
“If it’s frustrating for you, then it’s frustrating for others,” Jackson said.
The solution was to come up with hashtags
for events that everyone affiliated with Cedarville could use. However, it developed into a
continuous schedule of hashtags to be posted
throughout the month. Michael Pells, digital
marketing manager and manager of Cedarville’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, said this fits into its goal as a department.
Both Jackson and Pells agreed the
hashtags are a part of accurately telling Cedarville’s story.
The department is marketing both to the
audience outside of Cedarville – families and
prospective students, and to those inside Cedarville — current students and others on campus.
Reaching people on and off campus starts
with the student team that puts the hashtag
signs together.
“Cedarville’s presence on social media
would not be an accurate representation of
who Cedarville is without the input of students,” Jackson said.
The student social media team within
the marketing department is responsible for
thinking up the ideas, helping schedule the
hashtag debuts and making changes to the
hashtag signs the night before a new one is released.
Jackson said it is a relatively simple
project that does not take much to do because
the signs are already made. He said it is definitely worth it to continue the project.
When a new hashtag is posted, virtual
conversation is expected. Some hashtags are
more effective than others, but the department
has yet to see any negative feedback from the
program.
Jackson said the department’s hope is to
encourage people who do not use social media
September 2014
to at least go on Twitter and check it out. This
way, others can still view the current conversation as it develops.

Director of Marketing
The department also said the hashtags
are a voice for the campus by being able to
represent student events as well as university
events. The department said they want to be
able to work with Student Life Programs in
promoting the hashtags to keep Cedarville’s
social media consistent.
Current students, prospective students,
faculty, staff and alumni all participate in social media.
Facebook is the most widely used of the
social media platforms with over 12,300 likes
to the university page. But Jackson said Twitter is probably the most popular among the
student body, with over 4,600 followers, and
Instagram is the fastest-growing platform. The
department revived the dormant Instagram
account this summer and has since received
over 1,300 followers.
In addition to student activity, the marketing department credits Dr. White for his
social media activity in promoting the
hashtags, as well.
The success of the posted hashtags can
be difficult to measure with general ones like
“#backtoschool,” but the department said they
saw a lot of activity with Getting Started Weekend’s “#CvilleGS14.” The class of 2018 photo
posted Aug. 18 with this hashtag received over
3,900 likes, 788 shares and 193 comments on
Facebook.
Pells said an upcoming hashtag is “#CvilleChapel.” Students can use it to post quotes,
pictures or recaps unique to Cedarville’s daily
chapel.
The department has chosen to use “cville”
instead of “CU” in the hashtags due to the wide

Cedarville marketing director Chad Jackson
said Twitter is probably the most popular of
the university social media accounts, with over
4,600 followers. However, Instagram is the
university’s fastest-growing platform. It’s gained
over 1,300 followers since this summer.

Townhouses Offer Transition to Real Life
by Emily Finlay
L
iving in the townhouses is a fun and
helpful transition from dorm living to
real life, said a townhouse resident.
Tess Yake, a senior nursing major, transferred to Cedarville her sophomore year. After
living in Johnson Hall the first year, Yake and
her roommate decided to try applying to live in
a townhouse.
Each of the 16 units houses six students,
and applicants are encouraged to have the full
group of six to apply.
Yake and her roommate created an ad on
Classifieds at the end of her sophomore year,
which helped them find four additional students to room with.This year, Yake and her
roommate are living in the same townhouse
as last year, this time with two former housemates and two new ones.
Yake said she does not miss anything
about living in a dorm and much prefers the
townhouse. Instead of just a dorm room and
bathroom, she now has a living room, kitchen
and laundry room as well.
“I think it’s the
perfect transition
from dorm life into
the real world because
we don’t have to
worry about paying
our utilities.”
-Tess Yake
Townhouse Resident
“I think (living in a townhouse) is awesome,” she said. “I think some of my favorite
parts include the kitchen. We don’t have to
have meal plans, so we can cook our own meals
and be responsible for grocery shopping. We
have a really big living room and cable’s included in our board. So that’s really nice. It
comes with the furniture, which I love, and we
don’t have curfew, which I love.”
Living in a townhouse allows students to
be and feel more independent, she said. Yake
said the responsibilities and privileges make
her feel more grown up.
“I think it’s a little bit different than living
in a dorm,” she said. “I feel more independent
and a little bit treated more like an adult because I’m responsible for groceries and things
like that, which I like.”
Many of the decisions she makes are similar to those made by students living off-campus, she said, but without the stress of utility
bills and landlords.
She believes this will help students make
the move from a college student to ‘real-life’
adult.
“I think it’s the perfect transition from
dorm life into the real world because we don’t
have to worry about paying our utilities,” Yake
Townhouse residents have a bit more of the off-campus freedoms while still having the convenience of on-campus living.

said. “If we were off-campus that would be
something you’d really have to worry about.
We don’t have to worry about getting Wi-Fi, we
don’t have to worry about getting cable or getting utilities because that’s all paid for in our
price, but we’re still having that independence.
Being able to go grocery shopping and those
sorts of things.”
Unlike students living in dorms, townhouse residents do not have a curfew. Yake
said this privilege contributes to the feeling of
independence, but also serves a more practical
purpose.
“Both me and my roommate work a lot
and we work second shift and sometimes even
night shift,” she said, referring to her job at a
Columbus hospital. “So the whole dealing with
RAs and curfew was just something extra to
worry about. Not having a curfew is helpful in
dealing with work schedules and things.”
If townhouse residents need, or want, to
stay on campus during breaks, they are able to
remain in their residences without having to
pay additional fees, Yake said.
Townhouse residents are not required to
have a meal plan, which balances the higher
room and board costs, she said, and also frees
students to take care of their own eating needs.
Grocery shopping, cooking and inviting friends
over for dinner are all positive aspects of living
in a townhouse, she said.
In addition to mealtime freedoms, students are allowed to have guests of both genders over until 1 a.m. This privilege is nice
for get-togethers, Yake said, especially since
townhouse residents do not have brother/sister units.
“With all the space we have, we have a
lot of people over a lot to hang out, so I guess
that kind of has replaced the organized bro/

sis thing,” she said. “And being able to have a
living room instead of meeting in a dormitory,
where it’s like, ‘do you wanna hang out in my
dorm,’ but there’s really not room to do much.
So it’s a lot cooler with that space to hang out
and maybe cook.”
Despite the lack of designated bro/sis
groups, students in the townhouses have their
own community.
“Pretty much every time I walk out, there’s
people from either side walking over, hanging out and going over to each other’s place,”
Townhouses residents aren’t required to have a meal plan for Chucks, so a kitchen is a must.
September 2014
Yake said. “There’s times when I’m like, ‘Hey,
we need a couple eggs, let’s just go knock on
our neighbor’s door and see if they have eggs.’
It’s been really cool. I definitely feel, especially
with two (townhouse buildings), there’s a lot
of community.”
Becky Stowers, dean of women at Cedarville, said the university plans to encourage
this sense of community for the students.
“I think we’re going to try to do some kind
of activities to create that sense of community,” she said. “That sense of ‘We live in the
townhouses and this is unique to us.’”
Yake said these activities would be fun
and a great way to build community, something she and her housemates have considered
doing before.
“We’ve always thought about trying to get
different townhouses together to have dinner together and stuff like that,” she said. “So
that’d be really cool.”
Overall, Yake said she is happy with her
experience living in the townhouses and recommends it, especially to students considering
off-campus housing.
“I think that right now, as a student, it
would be a lot less stressful to still be close
enough to walk to your classes, to not have to
worry about all those extra appliance bills and
utility bills,” she said, “and to have some of
that community and not be separated from everything, but still be able to be a little bit more
independent.”

‘Bending the Strings’: Bluegrass and
Broadcasting
by Kate Norman
D
aniel Mullins has lived in Cedarville
since the sixth grade. He works part
time and attends the university part
time. In May, he will graduate with a degree in
American studies, and he will be the last student from Cedarville to do so.
The American studies program is being
phased out once Mullins leaves. Kevin Sims,
chair of the faculty for the liberal arts program
and Mullins’ academic advisor, said there is a
reason for that.
“Some think that maybe that major has
outlived its usefulness and that maybe it’s not
as appealing as it once was,” Sims said. “So I
think it’s kind of disappeared from many college catalogues.”
The program is somewhat similar to the
liberal arts program in that it allows students
to explore a broad variety of topics.
Each student in the American studies major is required to pick two topics to focus on.
Mullins chose business and communications,
which has played a role in his other interests.
Mullins has his own show called “Bending
the Strings” on the Classic Country radio station based in Xenia. Mullins has worked at the
station for four years.
It’s sort of a family business, he said. His
father, Joe Mullins, owns the station.
Bluegrass and broadcasting runs in the
family. Mullins’ grandfather, Paul “Moon”
Mullins, was a broadcaster for 45 years.
Paul’s station, WPFB out of Middletown,
Ohio, was very popular at the time because it
broadcasted to Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus. Also, at the time there was a large migration from Appalachia to Ohio and Michigan for
factory jobs, Mullins said.
“So he was very popular at that time because he was a great breath of fresh air and a
slice of home for all these people that moved
from the mountains to this area to work in the
factories,” Mullins said.
Mullins’ grandfather was also a fiddle
player, and he formed a bluegrass band with
Daniel’s father called “The Traditional Grass”
that started in the ‘80s. The band gained national recognition until 1995 when it disbanded and Daniel’s father bought the radio station.
His dad also formed his own band, “Joe
Mullins and the Radio Ramblers.” The band
had the number one song in the bluegrass
genre in the nation for several weeks last year,
Sims said. Mullins said his father was elected
to the board of the International Bluegrass
Music Association (IBMA).
Mullins said that other than singing at karaoke night and “messing” with his mandolin,
he doesn’t play instruments like his father and
grandfather before him.

Daniel Mullins, Cedarville’s last American studies major, works as a disc jockey at Xenia’s Classic
Country radio station and writes for bluegrass music publications.
“Always had classic country or bluegrass
playing in the house when I was a kid, so I
soaked up a lot of it from hanging around my
dad and my grandpa when I was a kid.”
- Daniel Mullins
Broadcaster and American Studies Major
“I play the radio,” Mullins said.
However, he did follow in his father’s
footsteps with recognition from the IBMA.
Mullins has been writing for a website
called bluegrasstoday.com for three years. He
was also recently published in Bluegrass Unlimited magazine.
Mullins has been nominated this year by
September 2014
CAMPUS NEWS
the IBMA for the print media person of the
year for bluegrass. He will attend the awards
ceremony in Raleigh, N.C., in October.
“Carrying on the family tradition, I guess,”
Mullins said.
He said he plays bluegrass, newgrass and
Americana music on his radio show, and he
spends air time talking about the history of
the music he plays. His historical knowledge
comes from early exposure to the music and
hanging around the radio station when he was
a kid.
“Always had classic country or bluegrass
playing in the house when I was a kid, so I
soaked up a lot of it from hanging around my
dad and my grandpa,” Mullins said.
He also said he makes a point to purchase
the hard copy of an album so he can read the
liner notes.
“If they’re really good liner notes, they’ll
tell you a little bit more about how they wrote
the song or where they found the song, so I
learn a lot from that,” Mullins said. “But I do
my best to try to be well-read on roots music.”
Mullins has connected his love of bluegrass and music history with his American
studies major.
“He likes the history side, so he took a
class that we offered last year called Music and
Nationalism,” Sims said.
In the class, each student is required to do
a presentation, so Mullins did his presentation
on the history of bluegrass music in 20th century America.
“It was super well done,” Sims said. “It
was really interesting, so that’s the kind of
thing the major really did for him.”
Being Mullins’ academic advisor, Sims
has gotten to know Mullins.
“He is a fine young man,” Sims said. “I really like Daniel.”
Sims said he could see Mullins ending up
producing music.
“I would not be at all to surprised to see
Daniel end up maybe in Nashville or someplace as a music producer,” Sims said. “The
major will provide him a broad background
and give him some skills that he’s going to
need to be able to do those kinds of jobs, get
into those kinds of careers.”
Mullins said he loves being on the radio,
but the need for disc jockeys is getting less and
less.
Mullins said he spoke to one of his favorite disc jockeys, Eddie Stubbs from Nashville,
who told him, “The need for a radio personality
is kind of like a typewriter repairman; they’re
still in demand, but not like they used to be.”
Mullins said his game plan is to combine
American history with his business and communication concentration.
“I would like to kind of focus on some
music history, particularly on roots music like
classic country, bluegrass and roots-oriented
music,” Mullins said. “That would just meld
a whole bunch of passions for me. My writing
history and the music, it would be a good fit.”
He said he would look into working at
September 2014
the IBMA, the museum at the Country Music
Hall of Fame in Nashville, or the International
Bluegrass Music Museum in Owensboro, Ky.
“If I could do radio on the side wherever,
that would be a great blessing,” Mullins said.
“That’s kind of what I’m thinking right now.
Always an option is the classic country radio in
Xenia because I absolutely love working there.
I’m never going to rule that out because I wear
a lot of hats there — I get to do a whole lot of
different things. I really enjoy it.”
In describing the broadness of the American studies major and where many of his past
students have ended up, Sims said, “You never
know what God’s going to do with you after
you leave (Cedarville).”

Cedarville Market Lets It Grow
by Kaity Kenniv
A
cross the street from Beans-N-Cream and
behind Cedarville Hardware, vendors
convene for the town’s Farm and Art
Market. It’s held 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. every Thursday in June – October.
With six to 10 regular vendors, the market
generates considerable interest within Cedarville’s community.
Vendors chat and laugh with their regular customers and extend a hearty welcome to
new faces. Vendors take shelter from the sun
in canopy tents and plastic bags overflow with
produce.
Vegetables, fruits, jams, pies, breads,
desserts,
clothing,
handmade
artwork
and more sit displayed in the parking lot.
Coupled with the sense of community,
Cedarville’s Farm and Art Market mirrors a
scene from an old-fashioned town.
Lori Harris, coordinator of the market,
said the market began five years ago in Cedarville. The market is open to sellers with any
sort of art, handcraft or homegrown produce.
Many vendors tell stories about the products they sell and why they sell them.
Gail Gill sat with her husband at a booth
behind rows of homemade pies and bread.
“She’s been making them since 1962,” her
husband said. “We used to own a restaurant,
and Mike is a good friend of ours,” Gill said,
pointing to the man in the next booth. “He
talked us into doing this.”
“My pies and breads have been going
really well,” Gail said. When asked if she made
everything herself, she responded, “Been in
the kitchen all day. Took longer to clean up the
mess, really!”
Another vendor, Mike Geis, owns greenhouses just off of Route 72. He and his wife
Darla have a family-owned and operated farm,
called Friendly Knoll Farm.
“We’ve been where we’re at since ‘77 and
we started greenhouses in ‘78,” Geis said. “We
grow all the mums and herbs and plants. We
just picked the peppers and the green tomatoes this morning.”
Geis said he went to farmer’s markets as
a young boy. He said he remembers a street
in downtown Springfield, Ohio, being closed
so that people could wander freely among the
street vendors.
Geis said he attended markets across Ohio
five days a week for several years. Now he attends four each week.
Vendors at the market sell crafts in addition to selling fresh produce.
Brenda Walters, owner of North River
Alpacas, comes to the market weekly to sell
yarn, hats, socks and other items made from
alpaca fleece.
Located in Yellow Springs, her alpaca farm
has a wide, yet community-based outreach.
Walters works with companies from Peru that
work to improve community life there.
“We generally work with companies that
have direct connections to communities in
Peru so we know we can see the benefits,” she
said. “We hear the stories of the benefits of
what the business is doing for them as a community.”
Walters said she is new to the market.
“We just started this year,” she said. “I
said, ‘you know what? We’re local. Even if we

don’t sell anything, we need to be here.’ And
it’s great. A lot of people didn’t even know
that we were three miles up the road. A lot
of the best kept secrets are right here in your
backyard – that’s us!”
When Harris was asked about the reasoning behind making Cedarville’s market open
to art vendors, she said, “It’s a handcraft, so
it’s similar to the small business idea. It’s also
supporting start-up entrepreneurs. A lot of
farmer’s markets and art markets are really
important to the community because they are
small business incubators.”
According to Harris, every second Thursday of the month the market is open to vendors
selling commercial products, like Mary Kay.
However, the rest of the time is dedicated to
small businesses.
“It’s really helping those smaller businesses expand, expand the opportunities for

Ethan Dewhurst Overcomes Injury to
Anchor Jackets Defense
by Dave Guidone
C
edarville men’s soccer goalkeeper Ethan
Dewhurst anchored the Yellow Jackets on the defensive end, chalking up a
school record of 10 shutouts during the 2013
season. But just five months before the season
started, Dewhurst, who is currently a junior,
was spending his days off the soccer field and
in a wheelchair.
Dewhurst said he has been playing soccer for as long as he can remember, and just
about everyone in his family enjoys soccer. For
the past 20 years, a member of the Dewhurst
“There’s nothing
worse than being
useless as a result
to an injury when
you feel you need to

sweating and giving
it your all alongside
your teammates.”
Ethan Dewhurst
Goalkeeper, Cedarville Men’s
Soccer
family has taken part in a Cedarville soccer
season, either on the field or working as a ball
boy. Working with the team started with his
older siblings Nathanael and Tobias when
they were kids, and continues now
with two of his younger siblings,
Matthias and Eben.
Dewhurst said he
has been playing soccer for as long as
he can remember.
As he was growing
up, he spent a lot
of time working on
his game. He got his
start playing competitive travel soccer as an
eight year old for Ohio F.C.
out of Dublin. From ages 14-16, he played for
Team Dayton, a travel soccer team, and eventually the Crew Soccer Academy, which is two
steps below the major league level. This exposure led him onto the training field with the
pro soccer club, Columbus Crew, which competes in Major League Soccer.
In fall 2012, Dewhurst enrolled at Cedarville and earned the starting position as goalkeeper for the Yellow Jackets’ men’s soccer
team. He recorded seven shutouts and made
the All-Conference Second Team, but he had a
nagging groin injury.
“There’s nothing worse than being useless
as a result to an injury when you feel you need
to be out on the field sweating and giving it
your all alongside your teammates,” Dewhurst
said.
In January of 2013, his trainer, Leyna Hebert, unofficially diagnosed him with sportsman’s groin. After meeting with five different
doctors, the consensus was still unclear on the injury. One doctor
said Dewhurst had a stress
fracture in his pelvis, while
another suggested that his
hips were separated. Still
another said that nothing
was wrong with him and
told him to play through
the injury.
While the doctors
were trying to figure out
Dewhurst’s diagnosis, he
was in a wheelchair and
doing hours of rehab each
day. He was hoping to
play spring soccer,
but after two
months
of
rehab, a
doctor officially diagnosed him with what his
trainer told him he had all along: sportsman’s
groin. The solution for this injury would be
found in Germany of all places.
In mid-spring, Dewhurst flew to Munich,
Germany, for surgery with Dr. Muschaweck,
an expert hernia surgeon. The operation was
successful, and Dewhurst returned to the
States, where his trainer put together an intensive post-surgery rehab plan. As a result, he
ran two miles in 12:30 and a half minutes just
three weeks after his surgery.
He continued to push through his rehab
plan, working hard to get back on the field.
In May of 2013, Ethan went back to the Crew
Academy and trained with them for three
weeks before being invited back to train with
the Columbus Crew’s pro team. Dewhurst then
spent the rest of his summer following his
trainer’s recovery plan. He trained daily with
the Columbus Crew until Cedarville’s preseason, during which he ran a 5:10 mile.
Dewhurst came back from the injury
a better player, as evidenced by breaking school records. He recorded 10
shutouts and allowed 0.64 goals per
game. This all came against better
competition as the Jackets were in
their first full year as NCAA Division
II members. The Jackets finished
the year with a record of 13-3-4,
winning the G-MAC in the process.
His achievements on the field led
to his inclusion on the NCCAA AllAmerica Second Team.
Dewhurst said that
his greatest challenge
when goalkeeping is staying

focused.

“If the keeper makes a mistake, that’s it,
the other team scored,” he said. “There’s no
time to let your mind wander, you have to be
focused for the total 90 minutes of the game.”
Dewhurst is a team player who wants to
give his team his very best for the entire game.
When asked to describe his teammates in five
words, he responded, “Fun. Encouraging. Ridiculous. Competitors. Family.”
What does the upcoming season hold?
The Jackets are preseason favorites to win
their conference. If Dewhurst and his teammates continue their high level of energy and
intensity on both offense and defense, by the
end of the season, they may be two-time GMAC champions.

The Definitive ‘Doctor Who’ Guide for
Non-Whovians
by Lauren Eissler
“Doctor Who” is a popular British sci-fi TV show. You may love the show and know
everything about it. You might have heard of it in passing. You may have friends who watch it. You may
even have friends in the “Cedarville Whovians” Facebook group. But what if you don’t really know much
about the show? This guide will give you a glimpse into the world of “Doctor Who.”
The Doctor
TARDIS
The Doctor is a time-traveling alien, but
he looks human. He’s thousands of years old,
has two hearts and is almost impossible to kill.
Well, you can kill him, but he’ll just regenerate into another incarnation of himself.
He gets lonely but tends to travel with human
companions who accompany him on his adventures.
The TARDIS is the Doctor’s time machine,
the unmistakable blue police box. Fans know
that it doesn’t just have a cool name, but it’s
actually an acronym (TARDIS stands for Time
And Relative Distance In Space). The TARDIS
is either bigger on the inside or smaller on the
outside, depending on who you ask.
To fans, the color of the TARDIS is a legitimate color and referred to as TARDIS blue
(makes sense, right?).
Sonic Screwdriver
It’s not actually a screwdriver, but it is
sonic. The sonic screwdriver is a tool used by
the Doctor in a myriad of ways. Sometimes,
it’s a weapon used defensively against other
aliens, normally vicious aliens trying to kill the
Doctor or wipe out humanity on Earth.
But the sonic screwdriver is also a scientific tool, used for diagnostics and for opening
locks and doing other such tasks. The irony?
Most incarnations of the screwdriver wouldn’t
work on wood.
Companions
Friends of the Doctor. He
tends to have only one (female) companion at a
time, but that’s not always the case. And
sometimes, his companions have brought
a
boyfriend/fiance/
husband on adventures before. There
typically isn’t any romantic involvement
between the Doctor
and his companion,
but occasionally there
is some (or a lot of)
flirting.
The Doctor seems
to choose his companions somewhat randomly – sometimes it’s
just a person he sees,
but most of the time
it’s someone he rescues
from imminent danger
from aliens.
14
Regeneration
Regeneration is how the Doctor changes
forms, but he can’t do it all the time. When he’s
about to die, the Doctor uses regeneration energy and transforms into the newest incarnation of himself. To this point, there have been
13 “Doctors,” with Peter Capaldi playing the
13th incarnation (but he’s known as the 12th
Doctor.)
Along with the very obvious physical
changes, the Doctor’s personality also changes with each regeneration. Sometimes,
the Doctor is more fun and
playful, other times, he’s
more dark and ominous.

The Silence
Even though they are one of the
most terrifying alien races in “Doctor Who,” the Silence don’t kill as
many people as some of the other
aliens. Instead, the Silence, also a
religious order, just manipulate all
of humanity. Throughout the
first season with Matt Smith
as the Doctor, the phrase
“Silence will fall” was
repeated, though the
Silence didn’t actually appear until the
next season. The Silence
are more terrifying than other
aliens because you can only remember what they look like or
that they exist while you’re looking at them. The second you
look away, you can’t remember
anything (hence the marking
of skin to count how many
times you’ve seen them).
Because of this, the Silence
could give humans orders,
and humanity would carry
them out even though
they couldn’t remember
why.

How to Recognize a Whovian
1. States love for (or is wearing) a bowtie, fez and/or
3D glasses
2. Excessively uses the words “fantastic,”
“geronimo,” and “allons-y”
3. Declares that things are cool because
they wear them, e.g., “I wear a fez now.
Fezzes are cool.”
4. Have tally marks drawn on their skin,
especially on Doctor Who day (April 23)

Daleks, Cybermen and
Weeping Angels
The Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels
are some of most well-known villains in Doctor
Who. Both the Cybermen and Daleks originated
in the original series and have been updated
somewhat for the reboot.
The Cybermen are what they sound like –
basically cyber humans (human brain with robot body). Cybermen are enemies of both the
Doctor and the Daleks and are easily recognized
by their metallic humanoid bodies and exclamations of “DELETE.”
The Weeping Angels are classified as one
of the most terrifying Doctor Who villains. They
look like stone angel statues, but they’re actually
aliens, hiding, waiting to sneak up and get you.
They can’t move while you’re looking at them,
but the second you blink or look away, they’ll
start to move. If they touch you, you die by being sent back into time to before you were
born. DON’T BLINK.
The Daleks are the Doctor’s nemesis, so they meet up every now and
then to duke it out. With their cry of
“EXTERMINATE,” the Daleks are an
unforgettable enemy.

Year in Preview: Art Comes Alive in
Cedarville
by Anna Dembowski
Cedarville students have many opportunities throughout the year to exhibit their talents. Some students
choose art, music or drama to do so. Others choose comedy or dance. And still others choose spraypaint.

Senior Theater Projects
ore commonly known as STPs, these projects are done by students
in place of an internship to complete their theatre major. STPs range
from set and costume design to writing, directing or choreographing
an entire play. Some favorites are the free-admission plays in Alford Auditorium, the white building just past the Cedar Cliff school building across the
street. Be sure to get there early, as seats often fill up fast. And prepare to
laugh your socks off, cry a river or spend the entire night on the edge of your
seat. From sign language to the Queen of Hearts, we’ve seen it all. Or have
we? Here’s to celebrating an abundance of talent this year!

DTR Comedy Org
D
TR is Cedarville’s top-notch comedy org. They will make
you laugh like you’ve never laughed before – but only if
you’re there in time to get a seat. These shows tend to fill
up quickly – so quickly, in fact, that additional shows have been
added in previous years for the overflow audience to enjoy another
night. Performing mostly improv comedy, each show is never the
same – or performed in the same order. Take their Chaos show, for
example. DTR races against the clock to perform 30 skits in a random order determined by the audience. It usually ends up in, well,
chaos. Attending a DTR show is a sure way to relieve stress, make
some memories and ensure you don’t take yourself too seriously.

hether it’s a concert by the university’s student-run a cappella group The Inversions or a variety performance by the
dance org AYO, there are many student-friendly events held
each semester at Cedarville’s Opera House. The Opera House may
have been built before indoor plumbing was a “thing,” but watching
a performance here is an experience every student should have. It’s
chilling, really, when The Inversions sing their traditional “Down to
the River to Pray” while standing in the balcony above you. And you
never know who you’ll see dancing – or rather, what types of dances
you’ll see – at AYO showcases. Will AYO members do the robot, dance
the jig or choose classic ballet? To top it off, admission to these events
is just a few dollars. Support your friends, enjoy art and celebrate a

The Rock
ou never know what you may wake up to see on Cedarville’s signature rock.
We thought we had seen that all too, but then a rendition of Van Gogh’s
“Starry Night” showed up. The rock often serves as an advertisement billboard for student organizations or a welcome banner to campus guests. But, really, it is a place where students express themselves via spray paint. The rock may
go from being a multi-colored face one day to being all black with just a few words
on it the next. Or it may go from being a rock to a chunk of ice. The possibilities
seem to be endless. Check it off your Cedarville bucket list – create.

JUST SAYIN’
Just Sayin’...
A Little Bit About Me
W
elcome
back,
everyone! I’m
sure most of you
Erik Johnson
are starting to settle down
and establish your routines for the semester.
Hopefully you have been able to sort through
the plethora of assignments located within
your syllabi and have not suffered from shock.
I’m still trying to figure out my schedule, and
this is my fourth year here, so no worries if you
still need to get a little more organized.
I figured the best way for me to start off
this column would be with some kind of introduction. If you haven’t noticed, I am not the
same person who has been writing the “Just
Sayin’” column the past two years. Becca graduated last year, and Cedars was apparently so
desperate for someone to write they asked me
to. Just kidding. There were plenty of people
more than capable enough to write, and I am
honored to have been given the position.
If you could not tell from anywhere else
on the page, my name is Erik Johnson. I am a
senior journalism/public relations major, and
I also compete on the track team at Cedarville.
On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons I am
a custodian in Brock, which has been a very
humbling experience. I find myself praying a
lot more during my shift.
Here are a few more fun facts: When I was
Tell Erik what you would like him to write
about. Send your questions, comments or
concerns to [email protected]
three, I jumped off our video cabinet and broke
my arm. When I was four, I rolled a watermelon down the basement steps and it exploded
about halfway down. It was super cool, and I
was too little to have to clean it up, so I would
go back and do it again if I had the choice. I
used to climb monkey bars and get stuck halfway, and I would just hang there yelling for my
mom until she would come save me. I also enjoy going backpacking and hope to take on the
Appalachian Trail one day and then maybe the
Pacific Crest Trail. But who knows.
My hope for the column is for it to be an
encouragement to you throughout the school
year. At times I may try to throw in a funny story or two just to make you smile. Some other
entries may be much more serious. Most of it
may just be what happens to be on my mind at
the time I am writing, and that’s OK. Some of
our best thoughts occur when we aren’t really
trying to come up with them.
To wrap up this month’s column I would
like to leave you all with just a few reminders:
First, keep Jesus in the center of everything. Your friends will let you down at times.
Cedarville will let you down at times. We all
make mistakes. But if you base your faith on
Jesus rather than people, you will have an anchor for those hard times in your life. It’s OK to
doubt when life is tough. But in your question-
ing, remember there is an absolute truth.
Second, as Dr. Brown used to say, “You
will not become tomorrow what you are not
making yourself today.” Who is it that you
want to be in ten years? Fifteen? Twenty? You
will not become that person by playing video
games until four in the morning or bombarding social media with Pumpkin Spice Latte
selfies. Don’t assume you can just wake up
one day and everything will be exactly as you
planned without doing any of the work. Start
working toward that goal today.
Third, make your faith your own. Most
of us no longer live with our parents or in the
same area as our mentors from back home.
Now is the time to test your faith and to see
if you really believe what you have claimed all
these years. Ask questions. Search wholeheartedly. Our God is much bigger than the boxes
we all try to fit him into. But know what you
believe. Know why you believe it. And live like
you believe it.
Fourth, enjoy your time here. Freshmen,
it goes by so fast. You’ll hear it from everyone,
but you won’t believe it until you’re sitting at
your desk three years later wondering when
you became a senior. Make this a time you can
look back on with fond memories. You make
your own experience, so make it a great one.
– Erik
