Message From The EditorREBEKAH MAURICE

This issue is a special one as Remembrance Day is next week. On pages 14 and 15 you will find a full spread of reflections. This is also a very full paper and is 20 pages, 4 more than usual which is excit-ing, that we have so much content. In the SA section you can find information about the recent NAD Year-End Meetings which were attended by our SA President Nisha Johnny. There are so many ex-citing things this paper so please enjoy.

There are many different majors and departments on cam-pus and if you only know about events in your major you are miss-ing out. Last issue we covered a recent OP trip, feedback has been positive, many students finding it interesting and said that they wouldn’t have known about it otherwise. Is there something cool happening in your department? Please submit an article. Even if you’ve just been studying something really interesting in class we’d love to hear about it. I know a lot of people have research papers due soon, was your topic uber interesting? Would you like other people to learn from your research? I know we’d like to so please submit.

Last night the English Department celebrated Guy Fawkes Day, a British holiday, at the Herr’s home. Our celebrations were complete with great food, sparklers and fireworks. Brits celebrate Guy Fawkes Day because in 1604 a plot to blow up parliament was avoided. Guy and his friends had placed 36 barrels of gunpowder underneath parliament to kill King James who they were not fond of. The traitors were apprehended and now each year on the 5th on November Brits burn effigies and shoot fireworks. You may rec-ognize the name Guy Fawkes from the movie V for Vendetta, an adaptation of the story. We put on plays of the story, watching out professors act out humorously. After our skits we went outside and with much oohing and awing watched a brilliant fireworks display by Dr. Herr and Dr. MacDowell. It was such a fun evening filled with deep belly laughter, I look forward to it again next year.

Girl’sDorm Open HouseBY BIANCA BASTON

Before I go on and outline the events of Girl’s Dorm Open House, keep in mind that I will be very biased seeing as I live on second floor and it was clearly the best. Sunday dawned bright and the vacuums were going nonstop. Girls everywhere were in panic-cleaning mode, my sister and I included. Not only was our room a disaster, but it was also very boring. We only had a couple hours to completely flip it. Miraculously, we accomplished just that. Friends who knew what our room looked like before could scarcely believe their eyes. I not doubt many other girls in this dorm pulled off the exact same stunt. RAs and volunteers scurried down our hall like ants, never pausing, just taping, cutting, and positioning the decorations. When 4:30 rolled around however, some of the halls were just putting the finish-ing touches on their decorations so the opening was delayed. Apparently, that’s a common occurrence for girl’s open house. We turned on our fairy lights, blasted our music and misted the last few sprays of Febreeze. Then, chaos ensued. People came and people went. It was definitely a surreal experience to have strangers just wander in and take a look around. But it was equally liberating to step into other people’s worlds and see how they live day to day. The themes were all creative and haphazardly thrown together to perfection. First floor theme was jungle and won the hearts of students everywhere as the snacks featured were animal crackers and Nutella. I honestly went back again and again for more. Second floor was beach-themed and transitioned into a cute underwater motif halfway through the hall. Third floor was Halloween/Gotham city themed it was spooky and spectacularly done. Finally, fourth floor was decked out into a full blown Winter Wonderland. The halls were choked with visitors as everyone came and went at a frenzied speed, not wanting to miss anything. It was amazing to see how some girls decorated or arranged their beds and furniture. Too quickly, 6 o’clock rolled around and the an-nouncement came up for all the males to clear out. The PLT had a yummy supper of pizza buns, fruits, and veggies out for everyone in the lobby. I would like to give a huge thank you to the PLT who scurried around frantically and got everyone fed in a reasonable amount of time. Before some of the girls even had time to catch their breath from the non-stop activity, they were recruited by the RAs to take down the hall decorations. It was absolutely shocking to see how quickly our hall went back to its empty, white-walled self. Peering down the halls a little later, it looked as though nothing out of the ordinary had

ever happened. As people started a rambunctious game of karaoke in the lobby, I went back to my room, closed the door and wished my room was always this clean.

Dive- In MovieBY JOEL JOHN

If you were on campus at 8:30 PM on the 25th of October, you would have seen a crowd of people making their way to the CUC gym, not to work out but to watch a movie. The “Dive In Movie Night” was being organized by the CUC-Student Association in collaboration with Craig Gerst, the Aquatic Director of CUC PE Centre. The movie that was being showed that night was “How to train your Dragon 2,” and the event was going down at the swimming pool. More than seventy students showed up altogether. Students from CUC and PAA as well came out to enjoy and have fun. Pizza, Pop and some snacks were also offered. A couple of students got into the pool to watch the movie while some others sat on benches that were placed there for the event.

On entering the pool most people were greeted by members of the CUC-SA and then they were given glow sticks to put around their arm or necks so that they could be identified easily by the three life-guards that were there in the dimly lit pool. People who came there on time had time to just socialize with each other while having slices of pizza, drinks and snacks. Around 9 PM the movie started play-ing and it went until 10:45 PM. Even though there were only few people who were there from start to the finish the event was successful in getting students to come out and just have fun.

Joshua Perkins, Braeden Clarke, and Brenden Zapotichny were there as life guards. Lawrence (Larry) Murrin, CUC registrar and Ron Schafer, the director of P.E. Center played a huge part in helping the CUC-SA in setting up the place, so that the pool would be dim enough, provide a projector, and that the sound system would work well. Parkland Party & Equipment Rentals, in Red Deer, helped provide a screen, on which the movie could be shown, at a heavily discounted rate. A huge shout out to Yuot Tut as well for making an awesome video that promoted this event. With the CUC-SA’s theme for this academic year being “Bridging Gaps”, I personally think that this event was able to capture that aim. Rest assured that this is not the end for CUC-SA and there is more to look forward to … *cough* … AMATEUR HOUR … *cough*….

Orchsestra ConcertBY CODY SHEARER

One of the first things I noticed when I looked at the CUC orchestra during their performance on November 2nd, was how many members they’ve gained since last year. I found that the music they played at their concert was full and lush. Their concert featured works by Georges Bizet, Franz Schubert, and a piano concerto by Mozart. As I looked out into the audience that evening, I noticed something that has always bothered me to some extent. While the audience was mostly full, I noticed a lack of students from CUC. Not to completely disregard those who did attend that concert, but as a whole I’ve noticed that when it comes to supporting the Music or the Arts Department, many students would rather go to many of the other events that CUC has. As a firm believer that everything has a time and place, I’m not suggesting we abandon other events that CUC offers. No one can simply attend all events all the time. While many might think that music is a source of entertainment, and in many cases it can be argued it is, I firmly believe that it is much more than that. There is thought and energy that is being put to use when an artist walks onto stage. That being said, I would love to see more CUC students at events put on by the Music Department to show the support and recognition of the hard work that is put into them. I believe that music as an art form should be viewed and heard by as many people as possible. There is something unsaid that music simply has a deep impact on the spirit of a person. Whether that be Mariah Carey, Mozart, or Minaj. My ideal goal would be to have the students of CUC attend as many Music Department events as possible. The reason being nothing more than to receive the special impact that the music has to offer, and to give your love and support for the artists who give their talents so graciously.

Shanty Town

On October 24, a handful of students headed down to the CUC outdoor rink after vespers to set up a “Shanty Town”. The supplies available were limited: large cardboard boxes, tarps, and duct tape. It took around an hour for them to create the cozy com-munity of box-houses; after the setup, they joined together at the roaring fire for after-glow. The beautiful harmonies of praise songs mixed in with thought provoking worship talks almost had them forgetting what was to come: 12 hours of sleeping outside in a cardboard box. You may be wondering why people would choose to leave their warm, comfortable beds to lie on the pavement through a freezing Alberta night. Here’s why: CUC has been holding “Shanty Town” as a fundraiser for several years, and this year the proceeds are going to support the Urban Mission Project that will be sending a group of students to reach out to the community of East Hastings in Vancouver, British Colum-bia. The participants raised money through pledge sheets, collecting certain amounts of money per hour spent outside in the cold. Thanks to all of the willing donors and town-dwellers, the event raised $1,260 with more donations still to come! Sleeping outside, in addition to raising funds for a good cause, helps us to realize how truly blessed we are to have a roof over our head and sufficient clothing to keep us warm. Not everyone has these comforts that we so often take for granted. Sleeping in the cold isn’t very fun, let’s be honest; it’s uncomfortable. However, the sad truth is that this is the reality for count-less people worldwide. The realization of our immense blessings will hopefully inspire a desire in each of us to share what we have with those that have less.

2 Corinthians 9:7 –Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion,

for God loves a cheerful giver.

The NewTHE NEWOpening of the Atrium

Last Friday the Science Building’s Atrium was officially reopened. Many can recall the explosion that occurred last year on October 8. The explosion, which occurred in a fridge in one of the labs, and the subsequent water damage kept the Chan Shun Science Center’s doors closed for the majority of last year. It was an emotional experience and the mainly Biology and Psychology majors who are used to enjoying their specialized and modern building found themselves homeless. It made doing labs difficult and added extra challenges and stress to those affected. With that in mind you can understand the significance of this event.

We appreciate Dr. Haynal as well as the plant services department in all that they did on their respective ends to accomplish this renova-tion. We’d also like to say a thank you to Clarence and Rubie Lindgren who funded the renewal project.

The winners of the $500 scholarships were Cara Bussey & Sandhya Abraham.

The atrium is now open for everyone’s use please take advantage and enjoy.

North American Year-End MeetingsStarting from last Wednesday our SA President has been in Washington D.C. at the NAD Year-End Meeting where for the first time SA presidents from Adventist Universities were given an official vote. The discussions were maily about young adults within the church and their relationship to it. We have copies of the two speeches that Nisha made while there and we look forward to hearing more from her in the next issue.

Nisha was interviewed by Hope Chanel and will present on it next Sabbath at church.

(Note: “Brister” is Dan Jackson’s combination of “Brothers” and “Sisters”) “As a woman who is a leader amongst bristers, and as a woman who is not going into the theological side of the world, this is my perspective. When I see the church undecided on something such as woman’s ordination, it doesn’t encourage me to stay within the church because I don’t see God’s love or equality unfolding. I strongly believe that women and men are on the very same level when it comes to sharing the love of God.and isn’t that the core primary value that we stand on? And as Adventists we are often afraid of change, right? Even the slightest change scares us. You guys saw the statistics that we prayed about on Friday. How can we expect different results if we keep doing the same thing? Back in Canada, I encouraged my student body to think outside the box, and I want to challenge you to do the same thing. How about we use the same amount of resources and efforts that we have been spending on this issue on HOW we can spread the gospel of Christ instead of WHO can spread it?”

One of the topics discussed and vot-ed on at the meeting was Women’s Ordination. These are the results of that vote and below it the speech Nisha made in favour of Women’s Ordination.

Will anyone miss us if we shut down...will the prostitute in DC, the homeless in LA, the helpless mother in Mary-land, will any of them miss us? Have we left a blazing trail that shows God’s love to the world in such a way that anyone who sees us can say “through you, I have seen Jesus”? The best kind of worship is when you reach your hand out to someone in need. If WE don’t tell them who will? Don’t tell them Jesus loves them till you are ready to love them too.

I think as we focus on waiting for the Lord, what does it matter that we are of different skin color or different cultural practices? Because the same Lord will judge us the same way. This waiting then should make us very patient people as Adventists, right?

Too often we focus on the problem instead of the potential. We see people as objects, we reduce them down to gen-ders, an “it”. And that’s it. We talk about the length of their skirts of young people in church instead of talking about the fact that hey, they ARE in the church.

We live in a world NOW but we are waiting for the world that is NOT YET. And while we wait, there is work to be done. As Adventists, we are spiritually blind. We see but we don’t see. We are so busy being holy that we forget that ho-liness manifests itself as actions. James says faith without action is nothing. We dissect it all down and we have debates about grace and action but we don’t do actions.

The theology we need to believe in is the LOVE theology. We are known to be the disciples of Christ simply with love. Love needs nothing but action. It doesn’t need a union conference, a five year plan, an audit, a budget. None of it. The only agenda of love is love itself. Love is not blind but it chooses to see.

We need to have one eye up and one eye down, looking around us. All around us are invisible people. Invisible men. Waiting to be seen.

This is a segement of the speech Nisha made about about Young Adults in the Church

The loss I feel cannot compareTo those that men and women bareAs off they march to war drum’s callAnd one by one they stop and fall

They push towards a brighter dayAnd fight for light so they can say“I died so you might live in peace”Their fight does end with sweet release.

As dusk falls and on battles wageThrough dead of night on the world stage,A war takes shape and countries side,A line is drawn, flags rise with pride.

Then asked of ours a sacrifice,Of blood and tears and pain and strifeWithout a thought they took the torch,They held their own and faced the worst.

Now we recall the cost of warRemember all honoured loreSo we will fight them nevermore.

This year the message of Remembrance Day will be felt with greater signifi-cance then ever before because of the recent deaths on home soil. In just the last 3 weeks two military officers have lost their lives, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. These soldiers were the first to be killed on home soil since the Riel Rebellion in 1885! It may be easy to forget how much the wars in the past 100 years have affected Canada as we don’t have ruins or mass amounts of civilian deaths like countries such as England, Poland, Japan, Korea and Vietnam but as of 3 weeks ago we have officially had the message hit home. In this time as we, as a nation grieve over the deaths of Cpl. Cirillo and Warrant Officer Vincent never has the message that we must remember and pay our gratitude to those that have sacrificed their lives in protection of ours, so hit home. As we grieve we must also remember the 66,665 military person-nel who lost their lives during the First World War, the 46,998 from the Second World War, the 516 from the Korean, 121 from peacekeeping and the 157 who have died in Afghanistan. It is equally as important to remember the 178 mili-tary personnel that have committed suicide during the 12 years that Canadians have fought in Afghanistan.

This year is also significant as it is the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, which killed more Canadians than all other wars com-bined. This summer when I was in England I went to the Tower of London which in commemoration of the lives lost has covered the tower and its sur-rounding moat in a river of blood made of ceramic poppies. The installation is called Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red and was created by artist Paul Cum-mins. The installation is created by 888, 246 poppies, a poppy for each British military fatality during the First World War. Deeply symbolic and chilling to observe it caused us great pause as we reflected on the mass amount of fatali-ties. The display will go down after Remembrance Day as the artist described, it was never meant to be permanent but rather only “for a finite time like we are”. Each of the poppies have been sold, the 15 million in proceeds will go to charities to benefit veterans, the money has even been exempted of taxes so its full net worth will go towards the benefit of those that have served.

With the significance of this year’s Remembrance Day please take the time to reflect and appreciate. On November 11 there will be a special Remem-brance Day service in the Church at 11am.

Lest We ForgetBY REBEKAH MAURICE

Life

I am a transfer. And this is my story. I never really thought I would be changing

schools. I never imagined I would leave the good ol’ US of A and travel to Canada for my education. And I certainly never fathomed it would be so ag-gravating and rewarding. I live in Berrien Springs, Michigan, home to thousands of acres of grapes, bipolar weather, and of course, Andrews Univer-sity, the Mecca of all Adventism. As I was prepar-ing to graduate from Andrews Academy in 2012, the obvious peer pressured choice was to walk across the street and attend Andrews. But no. I chose Southern. Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, Tennessee had the outdoor degree I wanted, and the campus was more beautiful than an A+ on a history midterm. I knew there was a school in Canada that offered a similar degree, but since Southern was more inviting at the time, I didn’t think much of it. So just like the geese in fall, I migrated south with almost as much honking as my dad and I drove down the highway. Seriously, Tennessee drivers are bad. No joke. But I digress.

Two years into my degree, the outdoor depart-ment started turning south. Our two main profes-sors left, there were rumors of the school cutting the program, and God showed me in no uncer-tain terms that the door at Southern was closing. I loved it there, but times, they were a changing. If you ever are in a place in your life where you are really comfortable, God isn’t. I was willing to give my life to His service, but I wasn’t giving up much. So He flipped things around and made it easier for me to change. In May 2014 I decided to come to Canadian University College in Lacombe, Alberta.

“What’s a university college?” I thought to my-self

“Alberta is the state- wait, province-above Mich-igan… No, that’s Ontario. So Alberta has to be on the Pacific. No, that’s British Columbia. Where’s Alberta?” I thought to myself

“I can figure skate, but I can’t use hockey skates to save my life. Will they accept me?” I thought to myself. In May 2014 I did a lot of thinking.

Finally in June I was accepted, and in July I saw how many credits had transferred. Out of 54 cred-its I had taken at SAU, CUC took 22. I’m no math whiz, but even I know that’s less than half. That means I’d be a freshman. Again. I arrived at

CUC in August, and guess what? I was a fresh-man. Again. This is how most of my conversations went for the first month:

“Hi, my name is John Henri, and I’m a first year. No, not a freshman, I’m a transfe- yes, I am taking all freshman classes… No, I’m not a freshman… Yeah, I know what is says in the faces book. But I’m not- Yeah, I was here a week early, but I didn’t know I had a choice, see, I thought- yes, I was at that campout with all the freshmen. No, I’m not a- well… Yes. Yes, I’m a freshman.”

At least I had enough credits to not go through University 101. I may have 99 transfer problems, but writing papers about Pluto ain’t one.

While going through this process is rough, and is by no means over, coming to CUC has turned out to be a huge blessing. Not only am I learning from some of the nicest, most qualified teachers I’ve ever met *cough cough Lehmanns cough*, But I also have met so many friendly, genuine, and kind people here. I had always thought that the Cana-dian stereotypes were larger than life. I mean, can people really be that polite, yet fight like monsters on the hockey rink? They can. And it is beautiful. To all of you who have proven that Canadians are great people, don’t apologize, just pat yourself on the back. Or treat yourself to some Timbits, which-ever is more appealing.

While transferring to another school in another country may be difficult, God’s way is the best way. If there’s one thing I can learn from this experience it’s that change is the only constant in our lives, so get used to it and dedicate it to God.

That, and Canadian drivers are remarkably more polite than Tennessee drivers. Seriously.

Transfer TribulationsBY JOHN HENRI RORABECK

I was 14 years old, sitting in a juvenile detention center on the out skirts of Iquique, Chile. “What am I do-ing here?” I thought as I stood next to my good friend, Lucy. I didn’t speak Spanish so I clung especially tight to Lucy’s side knowing she grew up in a home that predomi-nantly spoke Spanish. Together we approached a boy who was sitting on a bench, this boy looked older then us, probably about 16, rough face, dirty clothes, what you would expect to find in prison. We asked him his name and began to talk. Telling him about where we grew up and he was telling up about where he grew up. The dif-ferences were astounding to a 14 year old boy who had only known the comforts of Canada. It was actually scary, and the more he told us about his upbringing the more we were scared of him. All that he had done and been through. He told us that he was in prison for theft, but made sure we knew that if the police were told everything he had done, then his planned stay in the detention center would have been much longer than just a few years. The conversation climaxed when he told us a more recent sto-ry, letting us know that in Chile escape from prison is not looked down upon. Prison guards are ordered to shoot on sight any escapees. So if you escape with your life, then you have earned the time you get in society before be-ing found and brought back to the prison. That being said he lifted up his shirt and we saw a large scare, not fully healed, it had only been a couple weeks since his escape attempt. It was kind of cool seeing a real bullet wound but at the same time I was just a 14 year old pastors kid who grew up in Lacombe Alberta, this was my first trip to a less developed country and we started this prison ministry only three days into the trip. It was all so over whelming and intimidating until. “Can you stay until recreation?” The boy asked, in very broken English, taken back by the question I asked why? He replied “We are playing soccer and you could join in, and I want to hear more about your God, you could tell me more about him until recreation starts.” We didn’t even realize we had talked about God. Both of us were so nervous and yet somehow God had spoken through us to this 16 year old boy. There wasn’t enough time that day but we returned with the rest of our mission trip team many more times before leaving Chile. I don’t know if any hearts were changed in there but that boy now has my bible and if God could speak through shy, scared, kids like me and Lucy, I know he could continue to make a difference in that boy’s life.

The Coyote Bandits hail from my home town of Riverside in the beautiful state of California. This has been their stomping ground for a while, playing concerts for different events on the La Sierra University campus and at the university church. They formed in 2010 and have three albums out currently the latest one dropped in 2013. The “Bandits” play a mix of folk, indie, gospel, blues, and bluegrass. They put it best like this, “We write constantly mix-ing stories of old western gunmen and salty sailors with hymns and themes of growing up in search of God, love, and some good BBQ.” I’ve had the privilege to perform poetry while the Coyote Bandits played at the La Sierra University Church in the summer of 2013, between us it was one of my favorite performances ever. Not only are they utterly talented and filled with the spirit of God they are insanely selfless. Their profits on their albums go to the Canvasback Missions Inc which is a non-profit organization that brings free health care to the people of Micronesia. Because they work so closely with this organization they also tend to be ex-tremely busy, catching a second of Sterling Spence’s time he had this to say about the band and what their music means to him. “For me, the Coyote Bandits’ music was always about care. I ap-proach song writing from the perspective that life and this human experience is worth something. This shows up in songs that are blatantly about protest but also in songs about broken relation-ships. Confronting life with the idea that it has a sense of art to it, that there is something worth getting close to, allows us to con-nect with those around us and ultimately fight for their rights, dignity, and value.”

Aside from raising money for Canvasback the band as raised money by playing benefit concerts to help with the humanitarian aid in Sendai, Japan after the tsunami there. They’ve also raised money for a REVO event at La Sierra that worked with the Inter-national Justice Mission (IJM) to fight human trafficking. When asked about what the music they play means to them Doug Stow-ers, the bassist for the band said this, “Our music is about creating a better world here and now by standing up against injustice ev-erywhere, by following Jesus’ example and traveling to the people on the fringes, the unclean and unacceptable, and the people that society has marginalized, and fighting for them and with them. Our music is an honest look at the histories and ideologies of Christianity and America and what that means for us today, to take that seriously. A better world is possible now.” The current lineup for the band includes Christan Liang and Sterling Spence on lead vocals they play guitar, banjo and mandolin as well. Jay-lene Chung on keyboards, fiddle, and mandolin. Scott Wilson on a “means blues guitar” and Doug Stowers on bass guitar, lastly Michael Aguirre on percussion.

Bitcasa is a new app for cloud syncing and stor-age. It runs with all your devices and has a great in-terface “but what makes it different?” you ask. Well unlike dropbox, iCloud and Google Drive who offer about 5 GB of storage for free Bitcasa offers 20GB! 20 FREE GB! That’s no small amount that’s more than my phone, way more than my USB and where both cost me this is absolutely free! For $99 a year you can get 1 TB of space and for $999 year, yes granted quite steep for many a student but get this, you get INFINITE storage! I’m not ready to put that much out but I definitely suggest grabbing that free 20 GB.
