when you’re in a

spiritually and

emotionally. You

try to “unstick” yourself with cheap

forms of happiness: lust, materi-

searching for anything that will make

you feel something. You wait for a

you bear it. And yet at the end of this

pursuit, you come up empty handed,

broken and even lonelier than before.

You know you’re drowning and res-

cue looks dim. You don’t feel God’s

presence, it’s as if He has abandoned

you; your cries are unheard.

MARS’ HILL

to listen to Hillsong. You don’t want

to be in community. These happy,

feel-good Sundays do nothing for you

but rub in your face what you don’t

have, and leave you feeling angry and

bitter.

You don’t want to read the Word

anymore, you’ve lost that energy, that

desire and urgency to learn more

about Him. Nothing seems applica-

ble to your life, and you sure as heck

don’t want to read Numbers. You’re

alone and incomplete. While your

mom tells you that tomorrow will be

a new day, you know you will wake up

and nothing will have changed.

“How long, Lord? Will you forget me

forever? How long will you hide your face

from me? How long must I wrestle with my

thoughts and day after day have sorrow in

`l�[XTeg2·-Psalm 13

So what do you do when you’re in

a rut? I’m not sure I can be of much

[X_c� Tf� g[\f� \f� j[XeX� <� ßaW� `lfX_Y�right now. I’m in this valley, the

trough of the spiritual rollercoaster.

But what I do know is that I’ve been

here before, along with some of the

great ancestors of our faith, and I

know that this too, shall pass.

Nature is around us constantly, and

inspires us daily. It is the canvas

against which God displays His maj-

esty. In turn, we attempt to capture its

grandeur on canvases of our own cre-

ation—digital shapes and symbols.

In Vol. 17 Issue 9 of Mars’ Hill we

incorrectly attributed the authors of

two articles. “International forum”

was actually written by Travis Hiede.

Lamenting is not a failure of faith,

but an act of faith. We cry out directly

to God because deep down, we long

for a relationship with Him. God

does not say “Do not fear, I will take

away all your pain and struggle,” but

instead, “Do not be afraid, for I am

with you.”

2. People have been asking, “What if the Cardinals elected a Pope who believed that women should be or-dained? What if they elected a Pro-Choice Pope? Orthodox Catholics aren’t worried. However, there are some controversial issues that the Pope could change, like the ability of Latin Rite priests to marry. The celi-

called out to pilgrims from a boat traveling down the Rhine: “Open wide your hearts to God! Let yourselves be surprised by Christ!” and I fell to my knees. I traveled to the Motherland of the Pope Emeritus to hear a mes-sage of hope and encouragement. For Roman Catholics all over the world, Benedict XVI’s reign, and his stepping down from the Chair of St. Peter have been signs of his grace, humility, and love for the Church.

Pope Benedict, now known as the Pope Emeritus (Emeritus from the Latin meaning that ‘he has served his time’), has chosen to dedicate the rest of his life to prayer, and though now he is living in the Pope’s summer resi-dence (The ‘Castel Gandolfo’) soon he will be moved into the monastery within the Vatican.

dict XVI, we never went more than two Popes without an Italian. Our last Ital-ian Pope was John XXIII, so if you’re keeping track, we’re due for a Roman.

All 117 or so of the active Cardinals (those younger than 80 as of the date Pope Benedict resigned) will vote by writing the name of the person they wish to see elected on a ballot, fold-ing it twice, and saying the words “I call as my witness Christ the Lord who will be my judge, that my vote is given to the one who before God I think should be elected”, and place it in a receptacle on the altar of the Chapel. Once all the votes are submitted, they are counted by three randomly select-ed ‘Scrutineers’ (also Cardinals).

In order for a Cardinal to be elected as the new Pontiff, he must have received two thirds of the votes, plus 1. If this doesn’t occur, the bal-lots are burned with a chemical which makes the smoke black alerting those watching that a new Pope has not been elected. In that case, the Cardi-nals will reconvene in the afternoon and vote again. Once a new Pope has been successfully elected, the ballots are burned alone, the naturally white smoke alerting the Church that a new Pope has been chosen.

Top that when you elect a new President, TWU. I dare you.

Your guide to understanding the Conclave.

WHATTHE HILL? Ɔ

Police were forced to resort to logic last week when a man alleged that his dog shot him while driving down a Florida highway. Apparently while 35 year old Gregory Lane Lanier was driving, his black and tan English bulldog kicked it and caused it to fire. The bullet hit Lanier in the left leg and the wound was patched up without issue. This incident adds to the claims of those who argue that certain breeds of dogs are dangerous and predisposed to violence.

A 22-year-old man travelling through Gatwick Airport in London was detained after attempting to carry 207 pounds of dried catepil-lars. When security attempted to confiscate them he protested, claiming them to be for personal consumption. Funny enough, this isn’t the weirdest bonding between humans and caterpillars in recent years. Quite the larvae-cation.

An Ohio man has found love...for a urinal. After being arrested for curs-ing at tobacco bags, Kenneth Kulas was locked in a cell until he could be charged with disorderly conduct. How-ever, when police tried to calm him down he became pissed o! and began loudly proclaiming his a!ection for a nearby urinal. Some men have bad aim when it comes to these things. These things being peeing and true love.

that the Theory of Evolution points to the reality of Natural Law, convey-ing a physical truth about the known universe. Morrissey, as TWU’s resi-dent expert on Saint Thomas of Aqui-nas, urged the audience to follow the Thomistic teaching of embracing of all truths; wherever they are found, as actual truth is always part of the Di-vine Truth of God’s Natural Law.

On the other hand, Grant Havers commented on a late 20th century phi-losopher, James Rachels who argued that to believe in the theory of evolu-tion would require dismissing all no-tions of human dignity. Havers argued that in order to support the Theory of Evolution, any notions of man being created in the image of God or of be-ing a uniquely rational being, separate from the animals, would have to be discarded. Both Christian and secular humanist teachings must be removed in order to follow the logic of Evolu-tion.

Morrissey began the debate with an argument in favor of treating the Theory of Evolution with seriousness and respect. Relying heavily on quota-tions from Popes Pius XII, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI, alongside clips from Star Wars and the theme song from The Big Bang Theory, Morrissey argued that although the treatment of the theory as means to explain the en-tire mythos of the universe.

Using the metaphor of The Force from Star Wars, Morrissey appealed to what he called Natural Law, or the natural order of the universe, both physical and metaphysical, which is governed by the Almighty. He argued

assumes that society emerges out of a contract wherein humans agree to obey law and order because it is in their interest to do so. The Social Con-tract, according to Havers, must exist outside of Nature, and society must be Uh\_g� \a�WXßTaVX�bY� Tal�aTgheT_� _Tjf��including natural selection and evo-lution. Havers then used quotations from to argue that Darwin himself was a Social Darwinist and that the Theory of Evolution will inherently lead to a corruption of man’s natural rights through the strong eliminating the weak.

Morrissey eventually yelled out that “Modern Rights are just a Law-rent in-terpretation of Natural Law,” to which Havers responded with a smug grin and diatribe about Canada’s Political Parties.

The night concluded with no con-sensus being reached.

giveness within a heart and can be a barrier between us and God. Who are we to not forgive when Christ gave all to reconcile us back to a right stand-ing with God; this love compels us to not count others sin’s against them but act for peace. Looking into the eyes of the ones that wound us we are able to forgive as not only citizens of Canada, but as human beings, people of the world, and sons and daughters of God. This is keeping the peace.

Keeping the peace

Four stu-dents were invited to represent B.C. at a

peace-building conference in Ottawa held by Mennonite Central Committee this reading break. Among thirty uni-versity students from across the globe this conference was labeled “Peace-building in a Dangerous Time,” and consisted of eight seminars with a backdrop of snowy Parliament Hill.

These talks were led by experi-enced NGO representatives, Cana-W\Ta�ZbiXea`Xag�bYßV\T_f�� TaW�`Tal�passionate towards seeing a change in Canada’s role within international peacekeeping. Each presentation ended with an “off the record” ques-tion and answer period that many made use of. Prior to our arrival few of us knew what to expect, I was person-ally scared to admit that I was com-c_XgX_l�hafheX�Tf�gb�g[X�gehX�WXßa\g\ba�of peace in a world full of arms races and nuclear threats. As university stu-dents we have become accustomed to far-off stories of war and casual-ties, ritually pinning respect over our hearts on November 11th and honor-\aZ�T�ha\ßXW�g\`X�bY�f\_XaVX�TVebff�g[X�

arise when our troops enter into other nations with the efforts of peacekeep-ing.

@Tal�bY�g[XfX�Vbaà\Vgf��\aV_hW\aZ�civil uprisings in countries like Syria or Yemen, merely enrage, as people in the very same country see members of their own nation as enemies. This may make harming others easier for g[bfX�ße\aZ�g[X�jXTcbaf�Uhg�Tf�`Tal�of us declare our pride as Canadians, how many of us have expressed our appreciation to be human? The truth of every citizen in the world as being equal was repeated throughout many seminars and is an essential com-ponent to a successful state of peace among nations losing their stability.

Paul Dewar, a foreign affairs critic in parliament, stated during the conference that when it comes gb� TVghT__l� XaW\aZ� Vbaà\Vg�� `XW\T-tion is more successful than any use of or threat of force. Even still, many Western countries enter into nations guns loaded and hearts hardened. A Canadian colonel involved in count-less peacekeeping missions told us that doing the opposite is the proper way to bring peace. In order to truly fb_iX�Tal�Vbaà\Vg�be�W\fchgX�baX�`hfg�encounter both parties fueled by com-

passion and the hopes of non-violent reconciliation.

These truths also have implica-tions that far exceed peacekeeping in other nations but ones that force us to look at our own lives and consider whether peace has been something we exhibit. Romans 12 encourages us to “live at peace with everyone.” It seems that when we withhold doing all we can to maintain relationships bY�cXTVX�g[\f�eXàXVgf�g[X�j\g[[X_W�Ybe-

country, imagining what war really cost the ones we call family. Peace is seen as an idealistic pipedream in the minds of many Western Countries. As we live day-to-day it seems that the as-surance of our own safety is of more value to us than living in the way that sees all human life equal to our own.

Our current government spent over 28 million dollars this year on advertisements and re-enactments celebrating the War of 1812, suggest-ing that this was tied deeply to the beginning of the freedom and identity of our nation. One of the conference’s speakers Jamie Swift, author of War-rior Nation, suggested that the real result the war of 1812 was a crippling effect on the Aboriginal population as they were betrayed, losing large amounts of people and eventually larger amounts of land. To celebrate wars with propaganda expenditures and special effects like the sounding bY�ZhaßeX�Whe\aZ�g\`Xf�bY�Vb``X`b-ration seems as though we have been introduced to a war glorifying culture as Canadians. St. Augustine wrote, “The purpose of all wars is peace,” and many would argue that this has been forgotten as rumors of corrup-tion and hidden economic agendas

A national conference, an international issue, a personal responsibility.

If Trinity West-ern University actually wants to be a faith-TYße`\aZ� TaW�

intellectually rigorous community, students need better access to actual theology. More than just information about the various textual sources of biblical scripture, we need forma-tive theological grounding to give us traction for incorporating challeng-ing ideas from our various disciplines into a live-giving practice of faith.

Many students come to Trinity ex-cXVg\aZ� geTafYbe`Tg\iX�� YT\g[ TYße`-ing education, especially when they enroll in classes like RELS 102, “Intro-duction to the New Testament.”

Instead, they are at the mercy of whatever perspective on their pro-fessor happens to tote. Far too often students are exposed to challenging forms of biblical criticism and then left to work out the implications for Christian faith and practice mostly on their own and in the margins of their other coursework.

In the best case, students are chal-lenged and come out stronger. But in the worse case, their faith is fractured too deeply to repair. And I have heard way too many stories of this happen-ing.

Take my own experience for ex-T`c_X!�<a�`l�ßefg�lXTe��<�jTf�ch`cXW�to learn about the New Testament in RELS 102. Instead, I was dragged through a rather unhelpful quag-mire of redaction criticism. I learned a lot of facts about the formation of the New Testament canon, but was given little to help me incorporate what I was learning into a meaning-ful practice of faith. By second year

Studies? In the joking words of one Busi-

ness student, his RELS requirements were his “one shot at saving his soul.” But there is some truth behind the jest. If students are not getting theol-ogy from the RELS department, from where are we getting it? We have to glean it from the edges of our own W\fV\c_\aXf��j[\V[� \f�Tg�UXfg�W\YßVh_g!�Fb`Xg\`Xf� g[XeX� \f� T� `T]be fcXV\ßV�“IDIS” course, but even then, the theological grounding is not certain or broad enough. From the lives and practices of our professors? Thank-fully we are even able to do so! But its something that must be earnestly pursued and it is not always available. Student Life? Despite the excellent job it does of fostering Christian com-munity and providing opportunities for serving and ministry experience, Student Life simply does not go deep enough to adequately equip students to deal with intellectual challenges to the faith that often arise in their stud-ies.

Hopefully, we are getting theologi-cally robust teaching at church. But I know from experience that this also simply isn’t the case as much as it should be—whether on the church’s end or the student’s. Sometimes it’s just hard to get up on Sunday after a long week of class.

But if Trinity actually wants to be T� YT\g[ TYße`\aZ� ha\iXef\gl�� j[XeX�our faith in Christ informs how we explore every discipline, then we need to supply students with some form of theological grounding to give them traction. We need to incorporate more actual theology into the core require-ments for every student.

I had recovered enough to enroll in RELS 101, the other core-required biblical survey. Yet the experience was radically different. I not only learned more about the Old Testament in one semester than I had in twenty years of churchgoing, but also grew in faith.

The difference was theology. The ßefg� cebYXffbe� bYYXeXW� hf� _\gg_X� gb� ab�theology in and the second, a gener-ous helping. Whether or not I still agree with the exact perspective of-fered by my Old Testament professor, I was given something to stand on j[\_X� <� jbe^XW� g[ebhZ[� g[X� W\YßVh_g�issues any serious student encoun-ters, and for that I am thankful.

I am not against Biblical Studies. These approaches yield important insights that I hope every student at Trinity comes to wrestle with. But I also hope that those insights lead the students to a stronger, more mature and vibrant faith. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case in courses taught from perspectives such as form criti-cism or redaction criticism.

Currently, every undergraduate student at Trinity must take at least three Biblical studies courses, and can even get away with all of their RELS credit from the Biblical Studies type courses. And this could quite possibly leave them theologically emaciated, unable to rebuild a deconstructed faith.

A simple change to the core re-quirements to include more classes with more theological content could help students integrate the challeng-ing material from the rest of our stud-ies into our practice of faith.

And where else should students be able to get this necessary grounding if not from the department of Religious

Why Trinity should require more Theology, not just RELS.

Why study philosophy?

LAURA JENSEN

Cage the Elephant’s frontman, Matt Shultz has said that when he lacks inspiration he runs outside, shoves his face into the soil, and breaths deep. Not because he has a dirt fetish, but because he’s desperate to break the monotony of normality—to discover what’s been in front of him all along by forcing himself into a different and un-comfortable mindset.

FORTNIGHTOF THE

March 6, 2013ACADEMY.

People often

ask me why I

want to enter a

monastery and

I am beginning

to realize why this question has been

hard to answer. One does not go to a

monastery because one likes this or

that lifestyle—wanting has little to do

with the process. Instead, I need to go

to a monastery, but trying to articu-

late the difference is complicated and

takes practice.

@hV[�bY�g[X�W\YßVh_gl�fgX`f�Yeb`�a misunderstanding of motivation.

Most seem to think one enters a mon-

astery or convent because one de-

sires solitude or “whatever it is they do

in monasteries or convents.” In this

you can have when speaking this way

is one of shared interest. Those who

have eclectic interests are often best

able to relate with multiple people.

But a shared interest is the icebreaker;

it is never the sustaining factor in a re-

lationship.

Ever notice how awkward it feels

to work out issues with a good friend

while trying to have fun together? The

shared interest is rather dull, every

moment of silence is agonizing, and

the friend’s very presence induces

anxiety.

The same would be true if I tried

to enter a monastery for the solitude.

Being there, alone and quiet, would

become a noisy hell. I would start to

loathe the silence and yearn for the

presence of others to get away from

my own voice, not so much from the

voice of God. So much for the soli-

tude.

The truth is, a monastery has little

to do with being alone or getting away

from the world—little to do with lik-

ing that kind of “religious stuff.” I am

going to a monastery because I need

to, not because I want to. And this

and distractions—T__� g[X� àTf[l� Xa-

tertainment we use to “unwind” after

T�W\YßVh_g�WTl!�J[Xa�<�jTgV[�T�gX_Xi\-sion show to unwind, it is much like

taking a sleeping pill before tending

to an open wound. It is the wrong sort

of rest, inappropriate to the circum-

stances.

The right sort of rest takes prac-

tice, and monasteries are houses of

practice. My sin, my insecurities, my

pride—these all cut me off from oth-

ers even while we are talking. As long

as I numb myself to these issues, as

long as I ignore my own mortality and

sinful nature, they have free reign in

my soul and act as barriers to partici-

pating in community. Instead, I pray

daily to practice true rest in the words

of Psalm 1. I pray for that delight we

can have in the law of the Lord. I pray

to be like a tree planted by streams of

water, a tree which yields its fruit in

season and whose leaf does not with-

er—to prosper in whatever I do—isn’t

that a maturity, a restfulness, worth

pursuing in faith?

People go to monasteries to get away

from the world, right? Although su-

(other services aren’t bad per se—they

just aren’t “right for me”).

J[Tg�YTfV\aTgXf�`X�TUbhg�g[\f�jTl�of speaking is that we tend to speak

the same way about shopping. This

register is effective for avoiding con-

this or that service better, so there is

no need get mad. I am just expressing

what speaks to me.”

But this register is effective pre-

When in time would you go on vacation? “I don’t want to go anywhere else because then I’d be discriminated against.” - Stephanie Redekop

Although environmental stewardship must be practiced, Christians do not have to reduce their carbon footprint to zero or implement changes right away; instead, environmental stew-ardship is meant to be a joyful way to serve God just as one would in their spiritual lives, not something that has to be done because it is the only way to stop climate change. The key is to do what you can. Each person will have different convictions on what they must and must not do. If recycling is a painful experience, then stop recy-cling; if it is too expensive to buy lo-cal foods then buy non-local foods; just make sure that you are serving God through it all. Because of this revision, Christians shouldn’t judge or outcast someone who is practicing more or less environmental steward-ship then they are. One should not say that they do not believe in drinking out of Styrofoam cups. If they forgot their reusable cup, it is not a sin to use the throw away cup provided. Re-member, this is meant to be a joyful way to serve God; it is not meant to be legalistic.-Jordan Weller

“Consider the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!” Luke 12:22-28

God takes such care of His creation, so of course He’s going to take care of us! Whenever I see any bird, I am always reminded of God’s providence for me: what He has done, is doing now and what He will do in the future. In the anxious times of midterms and heavy assignments, there is nothing more relaxing and peaceful to me than a walk in the wilderness. Time seems gb�fgbc�TaW�T__�bY�`l�Tak\Xgl�àbjf�bhg�of me like a river. It’s all the therapy I need.-Elizabeth Haines

I view creation as an amazing gift to us from God through which we can constantly catch “God winks” or glimpses of His unending grace, beauty, and power. It may not be in the majestic sunsets of vibrant red and orange that I feel His presence the most but in the small things such as hearing the pitter-patter of the rain on my roof, the wind in the trees, the smell of fresh-cut hay, or the feeling of cool grass between my toes. Just as in the story of Elijah when God spoke to him through the “still small voice” instead of the earthquake, for me, the subtle aspects of God’s creation are the greatest experiences and constant reminders of His presence.-Darby Arens

Our earth is jewelled with God’s trea-sures, and I know it brings Him joy TaW�[babhe�g[Tg�jX�VTa�eXiX_�TaW�ßaW�solace in what His hands have formed.-Curtis Abney

“Be still, and know that I am God.”

Psalm 46:10

At times when doubts or insecurities

Te\fX�� <� ßaW� g[Tg� Ta� Xabe`bhf� fXafX�of peace and comfort overcomes me

when I venture into the immense

beauty of creation. Whether I am sur-

rounded by forest on every side, stand-

ing atop a snow covered mountain or

staring up as the cosmic splendour of

the sky, creation leaves me in a state

of speechless awe. Through this in-

credible sense of wonder I encounter

in creation, I know I am experiencing

the Creator and His greatness never

ceases to amaze me.

-Emma Soeten

The most powerful sermon I have

ever heard was spoken by a gurgling

stream, while surrounded by a most

receptive congregation of towering

trees. Together, we became trans-

ßkXW!� � Bhe� ebbgf� WXXcXaXW� \agb� g[X�earth, and we soaked up living water.

Alongside them, I grew leaves and

bore fruit. I left that ever-changing

sanctuary nourished, renewed, and

delighted in the laws of the Lord.

-Karen Hefford

The more I learn about our world, its

systems, plants, animals and people,

the more I come to appreciate God’s

good work in Creation. Understand-

ing how intricately each organism

is made and suited to its niche envi-

ronment, and how interconnected

the Earth’s ecosystems are makes me

wonder at our Creator God. Whenever

I have the opportunity to get outside

there is a calming presence that over-

whelms me. Near the end of the busy

day, I found myself alone in a mead-

ow, sun shining, and silent. I stood

quietly looking over the meadow to

the ocean.

Dear Pepper,Growing up, all the adults told

me that university would be the best time in my life, that I’d meet my best friends at school, that it would be magical – the beginning of the rest of my life. And here I am, well into my

university career, and still unhappy. These past couple years have not been the best time in my life; in fact they’ve been some of the darkest. I’ve connected with only a handful of people and there is nothing magical about my experience. School is hard, I don’t feel invested in the “commu-nity” despite being involved, I’m often hopeless and lonely, and I despair about the future which looks bleak.

Yet there are moments when I chose happiness – I make an effort to be happy, to be content, to love the people around me, and these times are wonderful. I look back on the dark times and wonder how I could ever have been in that place. Yet I always end up back there.

My college experience hasn’t been what I anticipated, to say the least. Pepper, why don’t I feel like I belong here? Why can’t I choose hap-piness all the time?

Sincerely, Living in Darkness Yearning for Light

Dear Living in Darkness Yearning for Light,

I was nine when I decided I didn’t want to go to University. I declared it so decidedly my mother laughed. Looking back, it was a laugh of wis-dom. A kinder response than “Oh Pepper, you know so little you do not even know how little you know.”

Your letter made me think of that nine year old version of myself. I felt so old back then and yet had years in front of me like a long stretch of Mon-tana road. I did not know then that middle school would be unforgiving, or that a boy would rip out my heart in the eleventh grade, or that in order gb�ßaW�T�c\XVX�bY�`lfX_Y�<�jbh_W�`biX�across states and borders.

I read this short story in my Eng-lish class that same year that boy ripped out my heart. It’s called Eleven. Have you read this, LDYL? It’s about a

girl on her eleventh birthday and she says something so profound it has imprinted itself on me ever since that day we read it out loud in my English class. She says, “the way you grow old is kind of like an onion or like the rings inside a tree trunk or like my lit-g_X�jbbWXa�Wb__f�g[Tg�ßg�baX�\af\WX�g[X�other, each year inside the next one. That’s how being eleven years old is.”

You are probably wondering why my response has anything to do with the question at hand. But in times when I feel exactly how you feel, when I begin to wonder if it is this place or if I will feel this alone and this much despair no matter where this journey takes me next, I see a vision of the rings inside a tree trunk. And I begin to understand that it’s never really about the question at hand. And I realize that nine year old Pepper had the same issues I have now, only with different faces and a different setting.

The year I graduated, I picked this place because it sounded cool and distant. I liked the vision it cast of who I was when I told people. I liked that the boy who ripped out my heart would probably never see me again. I liked that I was headed for a different Pepper, that I was destined to be a dif-YXeXag�� [Tcc\Xe� cXefba!�@l� ßefg� lXTe�here was terrible. It nearly killed me to ßa\f[�\g!�<�jTf�Vbai\aVXW�<�jbh_W�abg�come back.

since the days of prohibition. It was a roadhouse in the 1920’s, opened by “Handsome Tad Johnson” who was T� ¶eTfVT_� TaW� T� ßf[Xe`Ta­� \a� g[Tg�order”. Since then, it has become a local gem and historic icon in the greater Portland area. Along the sce-nic highway, modern day pioneers still gather here for a hearty meal, and on the third Monday of every month, a night of story telling. I had the great privilege of witnessing this unique tradition when I was in town

The stories, told with such rich _bVT_� àTibe�� VTcg\iTgXW� T� cTV^XW� eXf-taurant while we sat back and enjoyed local brews and plates of chicken and dumplings with gravy. Each story was more brilliant than the last; told with a subtle mix of humor, history, and socio-economic allusions.

do that for you. I feel alone here too. And in a simpler world I wish I could tell you my name and we could hang out and vent about how hard this life can be and will continue to be. But that’s not the point. The point is for you to cultivate an understanding that what you are longing for is joy and that joy is a choice no matter where you are or who you are with. No mat-ter the season you are in. No matter the facts.

I sat underneath the shade of a tree in a broken country the summer after `l�ßefg�lXTe!�4aW�<�eXT_\mXW�<�jTf�fg\__�alone there, maybe even more alone. The world was still dark and bleak. And I understood that I could not run from who I was. And sometimes who you are is completely raw and cut open. Sometimes our expectations ruin reality.

LDYL, if I could leave you with any-thing, I hope you learn how to tran-scend, not just for this season but for the many to come. I hope you realize that in the dead of winter there is still an internal summer. I hope one day at the end of this semester, you are lay-ing on your bed in that tiny excuse for a dorm room and you hear the rain and realize that one day, you’ll laugh at your child too. I hope you’ll one day tell stories of this place, of this one tiny ring in your tree trunk. I hope you see that it made you a better person.

Yours,Pepper

baby. A local mother of six told the hilarious yet sobering story of her mother’s slow demise to dementia. The best anecdote of the night, how-ever, belonged to a portly 30-year-old middle school teacher with a rich, booming voice. He spoke with gusto of the mischief of his childhood; how he once chopped down a tree in his neighbor’s front yard out of pure jeal-ous rage at their departure on a Disney World vacation.

Perhaps the most entertaining aspect of the night, besides the rivet-ing stories, was watching my friend and her family methodically interact with nearly everyone in the restau-rant. Like true locals, they exchanged gossip and news updates about the cousin of the storyteller, the mother of the waitress, or the sister of the girl sitting across from us (who she went to high school with). Being a townie has its perks. True, many of these adventurers had traveled around the world, but returning to this small town meant they’d always have an audience to share their stories with.

AMOK - Atoms for PeaceRadiohead front man Thom Yorke

has returned to add another project to his musical repertoire. His latest project is born from the talents of Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Radio-head producer Nigel Godrich, and drummer/producer Joey Warnoker of Beck and R.E.M.. Together these

pieces make up the whole known as Atoms for Peace. In traditional Yorke fashion he presents to the masses either a critiquing message, this time concerning pursuits of the American dream, or a collection of pessimistic love songs.

The eerie low-key beats of AMOK, the super group’s debut album, does not sound like the next step in the front man’s musical evolution. Rather, it is a decedent of Yorke’s 2006 solo album The Eraser, where the band’s name derives from.

The opening track “Before Your Eyes” immediately spurs thoughts of a convulsively dancing Thom à la “Lotus Flower” music video. The quick pitter-patter of the guitar and high-hats could even trigger an oxy-moronically dark Charleston. Now enter the voice of Yorke: the soft ambi-ence that he projects echoing off into the night is the ghost that haunts this T_Uh`�� àbTg\aZ� \a� TaW� bhg� bY� XTV[�track and in between each layered instrument.

With Trevor Powers’ investigation of our grasp on death, his second study of it seems ironic. He contemplates a subject that is obviously quite serious, but he does this in a very lighthearted way. If he is trying to emphasize our own nonchalant attitude on the sub-ject he does a very good job. Yet, even with such a heavy message we can’t help but be transported into the cos-`bf�ba�T�aXba�chec_X�UhggXeàl�Tf�jX�dance to the serenades of the man on the moon that is Youth Lagoon.

British Columbi-an guitar maker Jay Duncan (Duncan Guitars) has been producing high end acoustic guitars for many years. Dun-can realized that quality guitars could be produced to combat this unethical consumerism by helping others to gain a better quality of life.

Duncan’s vision has been real-ized in 2007 through the starting of Duncan Africa. His vision was and is to train Ugandan locals to produce world class acoustic guitars, giving them valuable skills and jobs. Since its inception, Duncan Africa has trained sixteen locals to produce exquisite guitars, with plans to double the num-ber of workers shortly. Not only do the locals work alongside Duncan to hand build each guitar, they are schooled in Math, English, Business, Computers, and First-Aid.

The mainstream entertainment industry teach-es us to create music solely for

the purpose of consumtion. A true artist, however, understands that the process of creating music is merely a means to create even further, with ideas and lives.

Sahel Sounds, Duncan Africa, and St. James Music Academy are three such organizations using their skills in music and instrument production, and education to impact the people around them. SAHEL SOUNDS

In 2008, musicologist Christo-pher Kirkley traveled to Africa with an TVbhfg\V� Zh\gTe� TaW� T� ßX_W� eXVbeW\aZ�device to capture and document the native music. Out of this formative trip and subsequent visits developed into Sahel Sounds, a backwater Port-land record label serving to produce previously unknown African artists from the Sahel Region.

Kirkley’s African travels eventually landed him in the Sahel, a geographic region of West Africa, encompassing parts of Mali, Senegal, Niger, among other countries. Instead of recording the sought-after traditional acoustic folk songs, Kirkley was bombarded by the complete opposite form of mu-sic, high paced tinny electronic music blasted out of tiny cell phone speak-ers.

The music of this part of the world had become a copyright free industry of home brew songs complete with electronic drum beats, auto tuned vo-cals, and high speed rap, all shared cell phone to cell phone via Bluetooth. Kirkley abandoned his desire to docu-ment traditional folk music and in-stead copied these unique mp3s and brought them back to Portland.

Upon Kirkley’s return home, he

a company set up by a group of people who want to share the love of Christ in a practical way. The company is pro-viding the locals with opportunities that would not have otherwise been possible. Various artists sport Duncan Africa acoustic guitars, and they have gained popularity with local B.C. wor-ship artists such as Brian Doerkson, Norm Strauss, and producer/engineer Steve Klassen.

Band-AidArtists creating more than music.

Gradually each new layer meshes with the last, building upon one another until they reach a brief congregation of harmonious sound before gliding back down into isolation.

However, the sounds that emerge from this album seem to limit the talent that is in the group. To hear that the RHCP bassist is a good bass player is like being slapped in the face by the hand of understatements yet his presence on the album is lack-ing - why not work his talent into the record? How amazing would it be if in “Stuck Together Pieces,” where the bass is perhaps most prominent on the album, Flea churned up the track with an anarchistic bass line? How-ever, music isn’t necessarily about showcasing talent. The creation of a record needs to be about the product as a whole and not concerned with the individual parts.

AMOK as a whole works, even if it sounds like Thom sat down with his laptop and played around. It is a seamless collaboration of multiple talents that hacks into the pleasure centers of the brain and offers a fair amount of reward.

An amazing run for the women’s vol-leyball team fell two colours shy

as the Spartans settled for a bronze medal win against the Ottawa Gee-Gees. It was another heartbreaking loss against the UBC Thunderbirds that did not give TWU the ticket into g[X� ßaT_f!� 4f� W\fTccb\ag\aZ� Tf� \g�was, the Spartans were able to return home with a medal around their neck, something that they were not able to accomplish last year.

The Spartans ran into a brick wall named the UBC Thunderbirds on Fri-day as they suffered a 3-1 defeat from a very good volleyball squad, sending them to the bronze medal match. The Spartans had already suffered g[X� 6TaTWT� JXfg� ßaT_� _bff� TZT\afg�UBC and were looking for a way to redeem themselves from that sting of a loss. With a 1-1 record against UBC during the regular season, the Spartans knew they were able to pull a win out of a hat. Unfortunately, the Thunderbirds proved why they have a 0.955 winning percentage and performed their guts out, while the Spartans were not able to utilize their momentum swings.

The Spartans started well as they Vb`c_XgXW� g[X�ßefg�fXg�j\g[�T�%( %%�win, giving all the momentum they needed. They were not able to trans-late that momentum to performance in the second set, as they went down [TeW�_bf\aZ�%( $'!�G[\f�jTf�g[X�ghea-ing point of the match as all of the momentum went to UBC, practi-cally costing the Spartans the match. The Spartans looked very uneasy from the beginning of the second set as if they weren’t all on the same page. Their passing was off and their attacks were defended easily or caused an error. They fell defensively which allowed the Thunderbirds to j\a�Ul�T�[hZX�ZTc�j\g[�ba_l�ßiX�^\__f!�The Spartans showed more effort \a� g[X� g[\eW� TaW�ßaT_� fXgf�� f[bj\aZ�UBC that they weren’t going to get past them so easy. But the outstand-ing offense and defense of the Thun-derbirds were simply too much for g[X�FcTegTaf��_bf\aZ�g[bfX�fXgf�%# %(�TaW�%& %(!

The Spartans could have done better in this match and there were opportunities to capitalize towards a win. But we must give credit where credit is due, as the UBC Thunder-birds had a monster season and won a well-deserved gold medal. Lead-ing UBC were Lisa Barclay, who was named tournament MVP and Shan-ice Marcelle, who was named MVP of the year. These two players were the reason why UBC has done so well

in their women’s volleyball depart-ment.

The bronze medal match for the Spartans was a whole different story for the Spartans as they steamrolled the Ottawa Gee-Gees for a 3-0 win to claim the bronze medal. The Spar-tans outplayed the Gee-Gees on all Yebagf�bY�g[X�̀ TgV[!�J\g[�T�gbgT_�bY�'#�kills in three sets versus Ottawa’s 17 kills, the Spartans doubled what the Gee-Gees had to offer offensively. G[X�FcTegTaf�[\g�Ta�bhgfgTaW\aZ�!'#*�TaW�Vb`c_XgXW�g[X�`TgV[�j\g[�%( $+��%( %#��TaW�%( $&�fXg�i\Vgbe\Xf!�

“I’m really proud of the team to rise up after a tough loss yesterday,” said Spartans coach Ryan Hofer, “I believe it takes a ton of character to come back after you’ve been blocked from reaching your goal and go back out there in search of something that’s not quite what you wanted. But a bronze is a great achievement for the school and it’s something the girls should be proud of.”

A team who performs their best at all costs deserves a lot of credit, and the Spartans are that team. With the Spartans performing this hard after a devastating loss, it was just amazing. Although it was disappointing, they simply did not let it get away of their next game. The Spartans were led by setter Kelci French who had a whop-c\aZ�&%�Tff\fgf�TZT\afg�BggTjT�T_baZ�with Amber Brown, Amy Ott,ß and Nicole Bazin who each contributed X\Z[g� ^\__f� \a� g[X� ßaT_� `TgV[!� G[X�whole team contributed well both defensively and offensively, which is the key to the success the Spartans have had this season.

In a nutshell, the Spartans had a fabulous regular season. We’re talk-ing 19 wins and just three losses, a big improvement from last season’s 13-7 record. The three losses came from three very tough opponents consisting of UBC, Alberta, and UBC Okanagan who are all in the top four including the Spartans. Out of the 19 wins, The Spartans won 3-0 eleven times, dominating their opponents. There is no doubt that the Spartans are an excellent team. In fact, their team play is beyond greater than any other team in the CIS. The Spartans do not look to a single player on their team to lead them offensively throughout the game, rather, they contribute almost equally on the stat sheets. The future is bright in TWU’s women’s volleyball department, allowing next year to be equally as exciting as the run has been this year. The bronze medal is a great achievement and it is well deserved. Congratulations to the women’s vol-leyball team!

YVES LONGPREpictured: Amy Ott

March 6, 2013SPORTS.

They deserve a certain level of grace, they might even be worthy of a

mulligan. Maybe after so much suc-cess this was bound to happen at some point. I’m tempted to believe the Spartans men’s volleyball team has earned a pass. But then again, I can’t just overlook what happened this past weekend. The effort the men put forward and the focus (or lack thereof ) that they showed at nationals was embarrassing.

There is no excuse for these Trin-ity Western University Spartans, the team with three straight national championship game appearances and a pair of gold medals, to be ^abV^XW�bhg� \a� g[X�ßefg� ebhaW!� <g� \f�not even that they got knocked out fb�XTe_l��\g¹f�[bj�g[Xl�_bfg�g[Tg�<�ßaW�incredibly troublesome. The Spar-tans took a 2-0 set led in the Quar-gXeßaT_� TZT\afg� T�`XW\bVeX�JXfgXea�Ontario team and looked to be home free; they had a spot in the semi-ßaT_f�jT\g\aZ�Ybe�g[X`�TaW�g[Xa�g[Xl�blew it.

Even though the Spartans had the lead, it was shaky at best. TWU aXXWXW� XkgeT� cb\agf� \a� g[X� ßefg� fXg�and were taken all the way to 25 in the second. TWU even had Western e\Z[g�ba�g[X�Ue\a^�Tg�`TgV[�cb\ag�ßiX�times in the third set but the Spar-tans were never able to put the match away, and it cost them. The Spartans still fought hard, they didn’t let the third set collapse break them right away as they fought off three set points but ultimately lost the fourth TaW� g[X� ßYg[� Tf� jX__� gb� Ue\aZ� g[X�

quest for a third consecutive gold medal to an end.

Now don’t get me wrong, it was a great match to watch and Western deserves all the credit for winning it, but the Spartans performance simply wasn’t good enough.

Now I know this is going to upset some people because both my edi-tors and I get emails whenever I try to criticize the athletic department in any way. It seems that any time I call out a Spartans teams for a poor per-formance certain people want to get the torches and pitchforks out and that bothers me. Not because people don’t like my writing but because so few people are bothered about this loss.

For the sake of reference, Western is from the OUA, a league that before this year had not placed a team in the gold medal game since 1991 and had yielded just one gold medal winner, all the way back in 1968. It’s a medio-cre volleyball league that simply does not stack up with a power conference like Canada West which just saw its run of 18 consecutive gold medals come to an end. Western is a decent team, not great, not even that good. They were a 13-5 team in a second-rate league that was subsequently dispatched in straight sets after beat-ing TWU.

Western isn’t good enough to beat TWU without some help from the other side. I have to preface this by saying this is strictly my opin-ion: the Spartans did not give their best effort at nationals this past weekend. Ben Josephson was pure class after the match, he gave all the credit to Western and put the spot-

_\Z[g� ba� g[X`�TaW� g[Tg� \f�ßaX!�AX\-ther Josephson nor any of the play-ers called themselves out for a poor effort, however I refuse to believe that Western is on an even level with TWU and that they could play such a balanced game with them.

Like it or not, when you go three years without losing a game in March, win two gold medals, and win a medal every time you reach nation-als, expectations get raised and you need to meet a certain standard. Los-\aZ�\a�g[X�ßefg�ebhaW�gb�Ta�BH4�gXT`�fails to meet that standard.

But maybe it is okay. This run was going to end at some point. As much fun as it would have been to see TWU become to the men’s side what UBC is to the women’s side, there is too much talent at this level for one team to win them all. I’m sure the men are disappointed about coming up short and they’ll stew over this all sum-mer while they strive to get better. But don’t shed a tear for them; they still have two banners hanging in the Langley Events Centre to keep them warm at night. As for the future, only Dan Jansen Van Doorn, Jarrod Offer-eins, and John Wiebe have expired their eligibility. They leave behind an incredible legacy of success and deserve to be remembered for all their accomplishments and their many victories together. I tip my cap to all three of them for representing GJH�\a�T�ßefg V_Tff�`TaaXe�ba�TaW�off the court.

As for the rest of the team, it’s time to get back to work. There is a standard to be met, and sixth place isn’t going to cut it.

Happy 41st Birthday Shaquille O’Neal!

Shaq was without question one of the 20 greatest NBA his-tory. He won four NBA titles (three with the Lakers and one with the Heat) including three ßaT_f�@ICf�Tf�jX__�Tf�baX�eXZh-_Te�fXTfba�@IC!�;bjXiXe��[X�jTf�just as well known for the locker room issues he created. the most indeliable part of Shaq’s legacy was his gregarious on-camera persona which made everyone think he would be an incred-ible television personality. How-ever, his transition to TNT has been met with mixed results; I particularly think he rarely has anything insightful to say. Then again it’s probably unfair to put a rookie analyst with Charles Barkley who is simply in a realm of his own.

Happy Anniversary Mike Tyson!

Ty-son went on to become an un-stoppable tidal wave of a boxer who left a run of victories and broken bodies only matched by Muhammed Ali himself. Tyson’s career was derailed by drugs and crime and his career after prison was nothing short of sad but his redemption into a new man has been awe-inspiring to watch. If you ever get a chance to hear him speak about anything do your-self a favour and listen. You’ll be treated to all kinds of stories centered around addictions, pi-geons, covering up murders, and veneral diseases.

Happy Trails to having to use CIS media resources!

Do you know how hard it is to write a CIS Track and Field Nationals preview when a com-prehensive list of participating athletes does not exist? It sucks. The “broadcast” of volleyball na-tionals was worse. “Let’s shoot the entire thing with only one VT`XeT�� `bhag� Ta� \CTW� j\g[� T�scoreboard app in front of said camera and have the entire com-mentary in French with abso-lutely no listening options for English-speaking fans, that’ll be a great idea.” –said someone, apparently. The whole CIS is just so broken and backwards they have completely stopped caring about getting exposure and rec-ognition for their product and do such a dishevelling disservice to all its athletes and fans.

This coming weekend, the young Trinity Western Uni-versity Track and Field pro-

gram look to take the next big step in its development at the CIS Nation-als in Edmonton. The Spartans have already had an incredibly successful season and will look to build on what they have already done at Canada’s premier amateur T&F event.

The Spartans are coming off a big medal haul at the Canada West cham-pionships. Calum Innes defended his Gold Medal in the 60m Hurdles from one year ago with a new school record time of 8.01 seconds, making him a prime contender to steal the show this weekend. Alison Jackson also took home a gold medal in the 3000m at the Canada West champi-onships and will look to cap off her UeXT^ bhg�fXTfba�j\g[�T�cbW\h`�ßa-ish at nationals.

The Spartans will send their larg-est contingent ever to Nationals. Pole vaulters Jesse Phillips and Jamie Sinclair, along with hurdler Nathan George and others will join Innes in the Men’s competitions. Meanwhile, g[X�jb`Xa¹f�ßX_W�j\__�UX�_bTWXW�j\g[�talent after the Spartans secured the

It looked like they had turned the corner, it looked like they might be a

threat and actually go on a run, and that’s precisely when it all started to go wrong. The Trinity Western Uni-versity Spartans season wrapped up a little less than two weeks ago when they were formally eliminated from the Canada West playoffs by the Win-nipeg Wesmen.

The Spartans’ road to those play-offs was a rocky and winding one; The Spartans were near the base-`Xag� bY� g[X� CTV\ßV� W\i\f\ba� Tg� & *�heading into the Christmas break. However, a 9-3 mark following the break resurrected the Spartans’ sea-son and yielded a playoff berth. With

overall team silver medal at nation-als.

The women’s side is deep and tal-ented but let’s not kid ourselves; the gXT`�\f�[XTW_\aXW�TaW�WXßaXW�Ul�baX�athlete in particular.

Emma Nuttall’s high jumping career at TWU has been ridiculous. After winning gold at nationals last year, Nuttall has come back even stronger this season. Nuttall has won every Canada West meet she has entered this year and was right-fully bestowed with the prestigious distinction of Canada West Female Track and Field Athlete of the Year. Her performance went to a ridicu-lous new level at the CW champion-ships. Nuttall cleared 1.85m and set a new Canada West championships record, a mark that had stood nearly 30 years after being set at 1.84m back in 1985.

Nuttall has become the most pre-dictable and safest bet in the TWU athletic department. You know she will show up, jump really high, and lay waste to her competitors. It’s incredibly exciting to watch.

Nuttall and the rest of Laurier Primeau’s T&F team are riding high heading into nationals; don’t be sur-prised to see a big medal haul.

the full context of the season and the outside expectations of the team in mind, it was hard to predict what the team would do in the playoffs.

On the one hand, this is still a roster with a lot of turnover from the previous year and was looking at a transition year without much hope for too many victories. On the other hand, the team got much better as the season went on as key players like Tristan Smith, Mark Per-rin, Denny McDonald, and Tonner Jackson found their roles and began to produce at a very high level. Then again, the second half of the sched-ule that produced so many wins was a much easier slate than the early round of games that put the Spartans at the back of the pack.

After one game, it looked like the

doubters were wrong and the Spar-tans really had turned the corner. The Spartans played a marvelous ßefg� ZT`X� TZT\afg�J\aa\cXZ� Tf� ßiX�fgTegXef�fVbeXW�\a�WbhU_X�ßZheXf�_XW�by Tonner Jackson who dropped 24 points, half of which came from the charity stripe. The six man rotation of Jackson, Smith, Perrin, McDon-ald, Tyler Lintell, and Justin Bakuteka created problems for Winnipeg and forced a bad shooting night from the Wesman as the home team went just 5-26 from deep for the game.

Sadly though, the six man rota-tion of Jackson, Smith, Perrin, McDonald, Tyler Lintell, and Justin Bakuteka that had led the Spartans T__�lXTe�ßaT__l�eTa�bhg�bY�ZTf�Yb__bj-ing the big game one victory. The FcTegTaf�_TV^�bY�WXcg[�ßaT__l�VThZ[g�

The lack of energy was especially evident on defense as the Wesmen’s highly XYßV\Xag�bYYXafX�VT`X�gb�_\YX��f[bbg-\aZ�(%!)��Yeb`�g[X�ßX_W�gb�XiXa�g[X�series. Winnipeg then stepped into game three and blew the doors off the Spartans with two 30 point quar-gXef�Xa�ebhgX�gb�T�$#$ *)�i\Vgbel!

It would have been great to see g[X�FcTegTaf�ch__�bhg�bY�g[X�ßaT_�gjb�games and make the Final Four but it just wasn’t to be as the curtain fell on the Spartans season. The good news going forward though is that only Point Guard Tristan Smith is graduating, meaning the Spartans j\__� ßaT__l� Xa]bl� fb`X� Vbag\ah\gl�next year.

The Spartans must shoot better;

they hit just 64% on free throws this year, second last in the conference.

God bless Lintell and Kurtis Osbourne but they must get stronger inside. The Spartans only had one player place in the top 20 in rebound-ing for the Canada West conference, Guard Mark Perrin. It’s great to get a well-rounded performance from Perrin but a guard simply can’t lead a good team in rebounding. The Spar-tans must get bigger and tougher inside as they were pushed around far too often this year. If they can eXc_TVX� F`\g[� TaW� ßk� g[bfX� cebU-lems, we could be looking at a much deeper playoff run next year.

How long before you propose?: Before she has a chance to get away

Best pickup line: “See my friend over there? He wants to know if you think I’m cute”

How do you know if it’s love?: She’s still with me after I’ve grown my beard out for a year and shaved bald

Skill that makes you “the one”: I can make minute rice in 58 seconds.

How would you make-up after your first fight?: Let her cook me dinner

Biggest deal-breaker: her beard is big-

ger than mine
