The deck of cards that is Trinity Western Ha\iXef\gl¹f� ß-nance and fac-

h_gl� jXeX� f[hYàXW� g[\f� fh``Xe!� G[X�University has undergone some major changes in the last few months, most notably the stepping down of Presi-dent Raymond, and the installment of Bob Kuhn as Interim President. With this has come a host of changes from layoffs and hires, to the creation of positions and the termination of oth-ers. All of this has been done in the aT`X�bY�XYßV\XaVl�TaW�c_TV\aZ�T�ße`�foundation under the University upon which it can launch from.

In the past, this school has faced YhaW\aZ� W\YßVh_g\Xf�� WhX� gb� \gf� fgTghf�as a private institution. As a result, the budget has struggled in the past. To combat this, the faculty is look-ing to reassess and rework the staff and management. In a recent faculty communiqué, Interim President Bob Kuhn told staff that “earlier this sum-mer, in a faculty business meeting and in a staff forum, we reviewed how our basic budget model for the University must change in order to place us on T� ße`Xe� Ybbg\aZ� Yeb`�j[\V[� jX� VTa�advance, without mortgaging our future.” The resulting assessment VThfXW� T� f[hYà\aZ� \a� `bfg� fXVgbef�of the university staff. It is clear that

Kuhn and his team are working hard to set the University on a sustainable path that will ensure that TWU lasts well into the future, through the re-alistic projection and management of funds.

Derek Dawson, Senior Vice Presi-dent of Business Affairs has been placed in “direct leadership” over Enrollment Management and Univer-sity Communications for the next two years, as stated by Kuhn in the com-muniqué. According to Kuhn, “given the scope of what needs to be accom-plished through these teams, I know you will agree that having permanent leaders, whether hired from within or otherwise, is the best long-term plan.” Just as the last few months have seen a serious restructuring of faculty, the next few years should see `T]be� V[TaZXf� \a� g[X�TeXT�bY�ßaTaVX�and management.

Dear Student Body,

Welcome back to an-other year at

Trinity Western University! As your Student Association President, I would like to introduce TWUSA’s vision for the year: Leading, Part-nering and Advancing with the Community. Through this, I believe that we will grow together, pur-posefully and intentionally, with the campus, and with the greater com-munity. From our activities to our student representation, we want to set the pace and come alongside the university’s vision, progressing in this new year for TWU – join us as jX�XaWXTibe�gb�cbf\g\iX_l�\aàhXaVX�our university culture and work to-gether to advance community.

This year, we hope to impact fghWXagf¹�_\iXf�\a�ßiX�fcXV\ßV�TeXTf-�

1) Student Relations. TWUSA is here to serve you and is comprised of student leaders who are ready to walk alongside you in your universi-ty experience. We want the TWUSA lounge to be more approachable, and a place known to be a friendly and welcoming area where you can have access to our resources and connect with other students.

2) Our goal with student rep-resentation is to ensure that the students’ voices are heard and that there is active communication on campus. This also means that we as students have the opportunity to be a part of important university decisions. I would encourage you, as the school years moves along, to have a conversation with at least one or two TWUSA members re-garding their special projects mov-ing forward.

The Year AheadA Letter From Your TWUSA President

ulty to partake in the events. Trans-portation will be provided by the university on the 18th for all those who wish to attend the event.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be held from the 18th to the 21st, and students are encouraged to attend this monu-mental event and participate in the reconciliation process. For more information, email [email protected] or visit the TRC website at www.trc.ca.

3) Our Communications team wants you to stay connected through our personal marketing, videos, and blogs. These things are imperative to T�fhVVXffYh_�lXTe��fb�ßaW�hf�ba_\aX�be�through a TWUSA member to stay in the loop! Our desire is to provide in-formation that is easily accessible and offer everyone the opportunity to get involved in the TWU community.

4) Events are another integral part of what we do on campus. Through our events, we hope to advocate strong involvement and participation from all student groups. We are looking forward to partnering with students and other leaders with their own ini-tiatives as well, and if you would like more info on funding available for that, check in at the TWUSA lounge.

5) TWUSA wants to be aware of the spiritual development that TWU is so well known for. We are lovers of a wonderful God, and we want our lives to be an offering that honours him. This year, we will be continuing weekly prayer with the school com-munity and we encourage the student body to attend as we pray for different branches of the university.

We hope you know that we are honoured to serve you, especially at such a pivotal time in our history as a university. Our focus is on you and your experience here. We are open to hearing your opinions and covet your insight and ideas. Challenge us by keeping us accountable with your voice. We look forward to working with you this year and for what this year has in store.

Blessings for your year ahead,Mackenzie DunnPresident, TWUSA

Alongside the two major summer projects, the campus has undergone its annual summer facelift. Each year, %##�### &##�###� Wb__Tef� bY� g[X� Ha\-versity’s budget is put into the revi-talization of the school. This includes painting, re-carpeting, upgrading c_h`U\aZ� ßkgheXfµfhV[� Tf� YThVXgf�and toilets—and general maintenance in parts of almost every building.

Shortly after, an ini-tiative was launched, spearheaded by [\f�`bg[Xe�TaW�GJH�YTVh_gl�`X`UXe�Shirley Thiessen, to commemorate this remarkable student. Donations have since been collected to fund the project, which began about a month ago. The new courtyard will include a ßeX�Ubj_��jTgXe�YXTgheX��f[TWX�ZTeWXa��and an area with tables and chairs. The courtyard has been designed to accommodate small groups, and per-haps even speakers.

According to Loeppky, the ma-jority of the work will be completed by the dedication on the fourteenth of this month. The project has been slightly delayed, due to the nature of its funding coming from donations, but is expected it to be completed by the end of the month. Students will be free to use the courtyard after the WXW\VTg\ba�ba�g[X�$'g[��Uhg�jX�VTa�Xk-pect to see some workers around for a little while yet.

As many returning students can attest to, on campus internet speeds have never been lighting fast (espe-cially in the evenings). With a large in-crease in demand for entertainment—

involvement with the student body, the IT department has created a new position called the IT Student Liaison, which will work on bridging the gap between the student body and the IT Department.

Have you heard about L.O.V.E.? If you’ve thrown a dart at balloons full of paint in the last month, then chances are that you’ve heard about us. If you haven’t had the immense pleasure bY� cbcc\aZ� cT\ag ß__XW� UT__bbaf� \a�awhile, then let us tell you a little bit about L.O.V.E.

Let’s clear the air of all the puns now. All you need is L.O.V.E., I’m L.O.V.E.ing it, where is the L.O.V.E.? The one-liners are endless with a team called L.O.V.E. This name is more than just a clever play on words, though.

Our name stands for Local Outreach, Volunteering, and Evangelism. This group encompasses a large portion of the off-campus and on-campus min-istry opportunities Trinity Western University provides for students. This year there are thirteen ways for you to get involved, from children’s minis-tries to working with prison inmates.

L.O.V.E. is looking for students who have a heart for ministry and outreach and want to share the love of Christ with the communities of the Lower Mainland throughout the com-

ing school year. Any and all are wel-come to become a part of L.O.V.E. and serve both Trinity and our community.

Just reading about these ministries may not be enough to convince you to join the League of L.O.V.E. To get more information, please visit our website at www.twu.ca/life/ministries/out-reach, or email us at [email protected]. Join the League and help us spread the L.O.V.E.!

ARTS & CULTURE.6

The Pint and the Cross

“This is the way the uni-verse begins.”

So opens Craig Wright’s The Pavilion, the debut production of the Green Hall Theatre Company. directed by Eleanor Felton.

The Pavilion is the story of Peter, played by Cody Friesen, and Kari, played by Amy Dauer. The high school sweethearts, who separated when Kari became pregnant, reunite at their ten-year high school reunion, and over the course of the night the two struggle to understand their feelings toward each other, their lives, and the universe. Circling it all is the Narrator, played by Brandon Bate, who inter-mittently slips in and out of Peter and Kari’s worlds as the rest of their class-mates, male and female, leading to several hilarious and deeply insightful moments.

Major themes of the work include the role of time, memory, and forgive-ness in the human experience, and yet, even though each of those words conveys an artsy avant-garde produc-

tion, The Pavilion is solidly grounded in the actors’ ability to draw the crowd into the emotions of Kari and Pe-ter. The set design, done by Mikaela Fuqua, caters to this simple, yet not simplistic, aspect of the show.

Despite the obvious mature themes and strong language, The Pa-vilion is incredibly God-honouring. The honesty and integrity that pervade the actor’s performances more than covers the language. Although the actors only had a week and a half to prepare for their actual performances, leading to several stuttered lines, the emotional honesty and resonance giv-en to every action more than compen-sates for this relatively minor stumble.

As I sat through this riveting pro-duction, memories of my own began to surface, and things I had been holding onto confronted me and asked if I, like Kari and Peter, could let them go and allow the universe to go on. This is the essence of true theatre: that the audience confronts their own lives through the interaction of stage and audience.

is around the time the modern Chris-tian rejection of beer culture became more commonplace. As alcoholism began to rise in North America, dif-ferent strategies like the prohibition emerged and the issue became more and more polemic and polarised.

Thankfully, this generation has begun to reverse this polarising trend with the emergence of Craft Brewing.

From an-cient Mesopo-tamia through to our current Trinity West-

ern University students, there have been few things as consistent as our culture’s enjoyment of beer. From Trappist monks in monasteries to hipsters in dive bars, beer has always been and arguably will always be a staple of our society.

Little is known about how the Ancient Mesopotamians enjoyed beer. From what we do know about ancient Mesopotamian culture it is likely that beer was part of one of their debaucherous pagan festivals. From Biblical times we know that while drunkenness was condemned, wine was certainly a part of Jewish culture TaW� =Xfhf¹� ßefg� `\eTV_X� jTf� ghea\aZ�water into wine. In medieval times it was commonplace for monks to brew beer in order to provide hospitality for weary travellers as well as to drink themselves.

It was during the industrial revo-lution that the beer culture in North America really began to take off. Breweries began to operate more like factories and Lager beers were pro-WhVXW�V[XTc��XYßV\Xag_l��TaW�\a�_TeZXe�quantities than ever before making the lager the “Working man’s beer” and also making it a cheap way for people to get drunk. Incidentally, this

Much like the indie music movement, beginning in the early 90s craft brew-eries began to emerge as an alternative to large-scale corporate beers brewed for mass consumption. Breweries be-gan to emerge that cared about brew-ing as a beautiful art rather than as a commodity by which to maximize cebßgf!��G[XfX�aXj�UXXef�UeXjXW�gb�UX�enjoyed, savoured, and critiqued like

This movement is one that ought not to be avoided by the Christian seeking to engage with and transform culture. There is a conversation be-ginning on either side of these two polarised sides. Trinity Western Uni-versity began allowing their students to consume alcohol in 2009; the very

next year Yellowhead Brewery in Ed-monton asked a priest to come and bless the brewery like they would have in the past. As Christians, we ought to be involved in these conversations and seek to redeem beer culture for Christ wherever we can. And what better way to enjoy the conversation than, As C.S. Lewis said, “Over beer, tea and pipes.” Cheers.

If you had a dragon, what’s the first thing you would do? “Sit in a cave and eat bubble gum pie. Yum!” -Bryce Perry

- our turn with the interim -Mars Hill: Can you tell us about some of your story and some of the major things in your life

up to this point?Bob Kuhn: I’m a farm boy. I grew up

in an apple orchard in the Okanagan outside of Vernon. My parents, well let’s put it this way, not well off. My dad had an industrial accident when he was quite young. So growing up we didn’t have much in the way of money, but actually, I never felt poor. My upbringing was idyllic in the sense of not having too much.

TWU EXPERIENCETrinity was a totally

transformational experience for me in every conceivable way. Spiritually I was able to explore the feasibility, the viability, the trustworthiness of the Gospel. It’s something about this place, it’s something about the environment that creates potential for the transition to occur, something about this sort of mystical mixture of elements that God puts together in a way that impacts people lives.My life verse, which is Romans 8:28, became a testing verse. “All things work together for our good”, can I believe that? Can I believe that God can make good things out of bad things? My life has been a series of proving experiences for that verse to be true.

IN THE COMMUNITYMH: What do you see Trinity’s role

being within the wider community, within Canada and the rest of the world?

BK: I think Trinity is a gem and it’s rarely given credit or recognized. I mean, think about it for a few minutes. We have winning sports teams, we have academic excellence, we have a student life that is bar none better than anything else in Canada. T o some degree, we’re the best kept secret there is. Now, it’s not that we don’t have some warts. We’re private, so we’ve got ßaTaV\T_�V[T__XaZXf�T__�g[X�g\`X��Uhg�\a�some respects, it’s the challenges that make people great. It’s the weaknesses that God uses to make us excel.

MH: What do you think can be improved upon at Trinity, and what do you hope to improve upon during your time here?

BK: We can improve upon everything. We’re only part way into the book that we’re writing and so we can improve upon every single area. We can improve upon our overall reputation within the context of Canadian culture. I think we can improve upon the kind of courage we’re displaying within the community. I think one of the reason’s we’re a secret in the community of Christian education is because we’re afraid, so I think we can improve upon our spirit of fear.

There’s a lot of mud that’s been slung at Trinity. Christianity has gotten a bad rap—some of it deserved—and now people are afraid. I think that we can do a lot to change that by being who we are. By being bold. Not arrogant, not prideful, but being bold in who we are.

STAFF CHANGESMH: There were a number of large

fgTYßaZ�V[TaZXf� g[\f� fh``Xe��`Tal�cXbc_X�were laid off. Can you tell us about the motivations for those changes?

BK: There’s a couple motivations. The existing model for educational delivery in Canada and the United States, and around the world really, is shifting. People are seeing less value in a liberal arts education, and more value in a technical, professional education. The number of people going to university is declining. There are obviously economic effects because of that. Public schools are having the same effect. We’re needing to be responsive to those demographics by being strategic in how we spend the money that comes in through tuition, because tuition constitutes the lion’s share of income.

The idea is also to move towards a sustainability model. No more going into debt. No additional debt. A balanced budget. The budget can’t [TiX�T�WXßV\g�f\gg\aZ�\a�\g!�

$$$MH: So it’s a balance of cutting cost

and increasing revenues. What’s the school’s strategy in terms of bringing money in?

BK: The number of people who support Trinity notionally is quite large. But the number of people that actually translate that generalized fhccbeg�\agb�fcXV\ßV�ßaTaV\T_�fhccbeg�is quite low. Part of that is perhaps that we haven’t spent enough time and paid enough attention to groups like alumni. As an alumnus and as the president, I’m in a position to say, ¶[Xl�� jX� [TiX� T� f\Za\ßVTag� fTl� abj�·�In terms of the university, we’ve never had this kind of rapport between the president and the alumni. So now we can kind of ask for some reciprocity.

CONNECT WITH BOBMH: You’ve expressed interest in really

connecting with students on both a personal and professional level. How do you hope to bring more transparency into the upper-level decision making process here?

BK: First of all, it’s communication. Being connected with students in a formal sense with TWUSA, and just being who I am with students. From a more structural or administrative side, we’re working on a different decision making structure. My plan is to have what I think will be called a Community Council. The Community 6bhaV\_� j\__� eXàXVg� g[X� Ge\a\gl�community. It will have representation

from the student body, from the senate, from the faculty, from the deans, from the staff at different levels. The community council will be charged with reviewing, taking into consideration, making recommendations, to what would be a President’s Council or President’s Cabinet.

LIBERAL ARTSMH: You mentioned the trend away

from liberal arts education and towards vocation training and technical education. What do you see as the purpose of a liberal arts education? Why is it important?

BK: I think a liberal arts education is critically important if we are to focus on the idea of education itself as opposed to training. We are not a training institution. We are an educational institution. It’s an approach that says education itself is of value. If we simply train technicians, we’re missing the boat.

The liberal arts and its history is such that it’s not geared towards ßaW\aZ�jbe^!�<gf�ZbT_�\f�gb�UXVb`X�Ta�educated person. What’s happened is the value of that has been replaced by fb`X�fbeg�bY�XYßVTVl.�g[X�\WXT�g[Tg�\g¹f�no good unless it leads to a job. Well that’s not true. It’s better if it leads to a job, but that doesn’t mean its no good in and of itself.

HEATED ISSUESMH: How about Trinity’s proposed

Law School, is there any news on that front?

BK: Not so far. We have been and continue to be very hopeful. I’m optimistic we will get the Law School.

We’ve done, perhaps, a disservice gb�g[X�TeZh`Xag�Ul�iTVTg\aZ�g[X�ßX_W�a bit. People say we ban gays, well that’s not true. We don’t ban gays any more than we ban heterosexuals who want to have pre-marital sex. We’re just being picked on because we’re an easy target.

Every Muslim, Sikh, Jew, most of the world’s religions have the same view as we do. In my opinion this is really a question of religious freedom, and solely a question of religious freedom. I will venture to say that there is not a single cXefba� g[Tg� [Tf� UXXa� \aàhXaVXW� gb�become a narrow-minded, bigoted, homophobic person because they have gone to Trinity Western. In fact I would venture to say that it is probably the opposite. I suspect that we do a lot more work at trying to build in respect and love for all cXbc_X!� Lbh� jba¹g� ßaW� g[Tg� \a� T�secular environment. HELLBOUND?

MH: Can you give us your perspective on what happened with Kevin Miller?

BK: Well, it has to be understood

in context. Kevin came here. We as a university sponsored his dialogue. So number one, we are not refusing to listen to someone who has a different point of view. Number two, the fact of his actual, personal, beliefs were not recorded until they hit the Statement of Faith, which sort of grounds who we can hire and who we can’t hire. If someone can’t sign the Statement of Faith, than we have to look at is this T� V_Te\ßVTg\ba� be� Ta� haWXefgTaW\aZ�issue? Like, “I understand pre-destination to mean this”, or is it TVghT__l� T� dhT_\ßVTg\ba� fTl\aZ�� ¶ab�� <�don’t believe the same thing as what the statement of faith says”. Now, that’s what happened with Kevin Miller, he wrote on it that he doesn’t believe in the Article 10 of the Statement of Faith. Now what I’m not communicating is that someone else might not have some position out there that struggles with different aspects. We have to deal with them one at a time. So, it’s not a conclusion of general application.

Now, the unfortunate part, and I apologized to him personally, was that even though I believed that the decision was the right decision, is that the process did not allow us to dialogue about it. We were talking a week before school started. I don’t know when we received it, but I wasn’t aware of it until that point in time.

His attempt to escalate the harm potentially caused to Trinity Western is the thing that bothers me most. If he disagrees with my opinion, then let him disagree with me, let him take me on, let him say, “Bob Kuhn is a jerk and he did this thing wrong”. I’ll take that. But when he tries to harm the institution that he wanted to be a part of, I see that as inconsistent. It bothers me that somebody who wanted be a part of the fabric of this place is very quick to tear it down by going to Douglas Todd. You can Google Douglas Todd and Trinity Western and lbh� jba¹g� ßaW� T� f\aZ_X� Teg\V_X� g[Tg¹f�supportive of Trinity Western. He knew that. It’s sad to me that commentary is given credibility.

He says we’re narrow minded, but if we really were narrow minded we would have never allowed him to show his movie. And we’d show his movie again as far as I’m concerned. It’s not trying to stop people from thinking, but when we hire representatives of our Statement of Faith, we have to [TiX� T� VXegT\a� _XiX_� bY� TYßa\gl!� <g¹f�not academic anarchy, it’s academic freedom. And freedom without constraint is anarchy.

CREATIVE.12

brought to you by

[spaces]Have you ever been so fullof the world’s breath beneath[your skin] your bones?

It’s a kind of silence that presses inand around andfrom inside you.A melancholy you can’t quite reach.You can’t own.

Rather, it takes you in and calls youits own.It comes to you, it wraps around theback of your spine and spreads,invading your lungs till youfeel it in each breath, shootingthrough your legs and down your arms.Till you wonder if it willhang heavy from your f ingertips.

See, I met it in a moment of quiet,where even the water was a faint rhythmrather than a visible songand the wind crooned to a whisperat the bare bounds of hearing.Where the world was built of edgessoft and still.

And I stood and listened to the mostprofound conversation, woven by the mouths of two friends as they stood a few feet away.

It was as if I could hear the hum of their soulsvivid, loud, alive in thespace between their words.

For a moment the future and the past lay stretched out, stark as daylightbefore and behind.And I stood at the medium of joy and sorrow sitting heavy all at once.Between the collisionof this waking vision,the rent in the veil between the concrete and the intangible.

The insecure hipster says, “Does this make me look fad?”

If you had a dragon, what’s the first thing you would do? “Open a glass factory” - Nancy Timmermans

Keys and c l o c k s , lamps and b r o o m s , these are

but simple, ordinary, common-place items. Why the fascination with them? Why do many of our great stories imbue these objects with the most fascinating traits? Take, for example, the classic tale of Aladdin, a story that follows a lowly street rat and his discovery of T� `TZ\VT_� _T`c� TaW� àl\aZ� VTecXg!�By themselves these two items are nothing more than mere dust col-lectors, undeserving of much atten-tion, and yet with the magic given them, have instead captivated audi-ences with their thrilling intrigue.

And this phenomenon of turn-ing quite mundane objects into items of awe is not new in the least. From Plato’s magical Ring of Gy-ges in the Republic, to the alchemic Hand of Midas in Arabian Nights, to C.S. Lewis’ enchanted wardrobe, and all the poisoned apples, talk-ing mirrors, and magic beans in between the great epics and fairy-tales of all time have consistently gripped us with fantastically plain objects.

As I stepped back and thought TUbhg� g[XfX�bU]XVgf�� <�ßefg� Vbaf\W-ered the possibility that perhaps we generally pick them because they cebi\WX�hf�j\g[�T�c_TVX�gb�Yh_ß__�bhe�intrigue and creativity; that in the pouring out of our ideas, we give shape to our passions and fancies.

Of course, one must not forget that the objects we pick do in fact

possess roles in the commonplace, which in turn play a part in our choosing them. For instance, a key is meant to unlock something and a `\eebe�ßaWf�\gf�\`cbegTaVX�\a�ceb-i\W\aZ� T� eXàXVg\ba!� FgT\eVTfXf� _XTW�to doors and doors to rooms. In and of themselves these items do not mean much, however, the moment you add a pinch of the unbelievable into the picture, these things come alive with excitement. The mir-ebe�abj� eXàXVgf� Xai\XW�UXThgl�� g[X�stairs go on forever, and the glass slippers hold onto a frail promise of marriage and happiness.

The more I considered it, though, the less I began to think these stories’ objects were solely chosen to provide a container for our mysteries. I think there is some-thing more to it than that.

The answer, I believe, lies not in `Ta¹f� aXXW� gb� ßaW� T� ß__ TU_X� [b_-low, but rather in his desire to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. And of all the ordinary things out there, the most intriguing object to us is ourselves. We are the wan-nabe heroes, knights, and rescuers. We are the hopefuls wishing we re-ceived our invitations to Hogwarts. We are the ones wishing we could àl�� fgbc� g\`X�� TaW� W\fTccXTe!� CXe-haps I am wrong, but I don’t think it is absurd to think that people want to be unique. Better, even.

Now often such desires to be more can in fact be founded in our own insecurities and fears, but below all of that, I believe that there does in fact exist in each of us something greater than the com-

Extraordinary Ordinary

Those who have kept up with Trinity news over the summer may

have heard that local documentary ß_``T^Xe�>Xi\a�@\__Xe�j\__�ab� _ba-ger be joining the teaching staff at Trinity Western this year. Miller, who

is probably best known for his movie Hellbound?, was set to teach a com-munications course on documentary ß_``T^\aZ� g[\f� YT__!� ;bjXiXe�� ]hfg�over two weeks ago Kevin was told that he would not be able to teach the course because his beliefs on Hell did not appropriately line up with those in the school’s Statement of Faith

(Article 10). Over the past week I have been able to talk with both Kevin and our Interim President Bob Kuhn about the whole thing.

About this time last year, Kevin Miller released his documentary Hellbound?, questioning traditional beliefs in a Hell of eternal conscious torment. Within the documentary he introduced what he called “hopeful universalism,” the idea that God is greater than death or sin, and that we can hopefully assume that God will redeem everyone, whether they have accepted Him as their saviour or not.

A few months after its release, >Xi\a� jTf� \ai\gXW� gb� f[bj� g[X� ß_`�at TWU and even hosted a question panel afterwards, which included himself, other speakers from the ß_`�� TaW� iTe\bhf�Ge\a\gl� cebYXffbef!�The showing and panel were very well received. The auditorium was packed with both students and staff, and the question period resulted in a lot of good discussion, both within the auditorium and afterwards.

That’s why, when last spring he was asked by the SAMC department to teach a course on documentary ß_``T^\aZ��`Tal� fghWXagf�Zbg� iXel�excited. Kevin has a lot of experience in the business, having been involved in several documentaries of his own. It is also why, when he was told that he would not be able to teach the newly formed class this year, many students and staff were very disap-pointed.

Fully aware of his views on Hell, Kevin’s teaching position was green-lighted by the SAMC department in the spring and he was told that his views on Hell would not be an issue. However, after providing a clarify-ing statement to Trinity’s Statement of Faith, a fairly common practice

|peter WOEKEL

among professors, he was informed that his views were not clarifying but outright contradictory to Article 10 of the Statement, and that he would not be able to teach at Trinity for that reason. This is concerning for a few reasons.

As a Christian institution, Trinity needs to ensure it is holding itself to an excellent standard of profession-alism. Unfortunately in this situa-tion, that standard was not met. Mill-er was told his view on Hell would not be a problem. It was.

It wouldn’t really have been an is-sue if Miller was informed in a timely manner. But telling someone two weeks before they start a course that their fundamental views, which are very well known, exclude them from teaching a course is disrespectful of their time and energy.

Trinity recognizes their failure in that regard. When speaking with Bob Kuhn, Trinity’s interim president, he admitted that the process was much messier than it should have been. Miller should have been informed earlier, and he should have been in-formed better. I hope that Trinity is able to learn from this. It sounds like Kuhn, at the very least, is eager to.

The more concerning issue arises when we start to consider academic freedom. Plato, the father of the uni-versity, believed that the heart of edu-cation is the discovery of truth. Fun-damental to that discovery process is a need for the sharing of ideas. What does it say of our university if we do not allow someone to teach because their ideas are too different? It says a lot, but I think what it says is actually quite hopeful.

Miller recognizes that a Christian university needs to set boundaries of belief for its staff. While I do not nec-

essarily agree with the University’s decision in dismissing Miller’s theol-ogy, the fact that the university—un-der a new president’s leadership—was willing to stick to its theological guns is, I believe, praiseworthy. This is particularly so in the context of the recent attention given to our Com-munity Covenant and proposed Law School.

Miller dismisses the idea that a ha\iXef\gl� f[bh_W� ßaW� \gf� \WXag\gl� \a�its theology, stating that we should \afgXTW�ßaW�bhe� \WXag\gl� \a� T� f[TeXW�way of life. However, I don’t believe the two can be unbound from each other. What is theology for, if not to create in ourselves a way of life?

Let me be clear, I am not suggest-ing this theological issue should be left alone. It is important and it needs to be discussed. But we also need to recognize that the discussion is dan-gerous. The Apostle Paul mentions often the dangers of installing those with questionable theology into po-sitions of power. I’m not convinced that Miller’s theology is question-able, but I do believe that we as an institution should be sure of our stance on the issue before we provide the implied support that would come with a teaching position.

Miller has been asked back as a guest lecturer, and Kuhn expressed no interest in shutting down the Hell discussion. I for one have hope that Trinity is fully willing to explore that aspect of its identity, just under its own terms.

derek SCOTT

what the hell(bound)?

monplace, a thread woven through our very being.

A long time ago, humanity was en-tirely that, extraordinary. Though we were made creatures of the created or-der, we at the same time were also giv-en divine life by God who made each person after His own image. Follow-ing His design, what made us unique from the commonplace was to be our resemblance to Him. And though we fell into the stained black uniformity of sin, that memory of what once was, has since remained. God, refusing to let His image in us perish into noth-ingness, held on, and through his victory on the cross, has been taking back what’s rightfully His. His desire to renew us and make us beautiful and marvelous once more echoes loudly in our souls and though we may not real-ize it, spills over into our own love of the ordinary we see everyday.

And so as we continue to read our stories of magical rings of power, or bY� T� àbjXe¹f� ]h\VX� g[Tg� \afc\eXf� _biX��may we remember but one thing: that the desire to make the commonplace special comes from a desire not of our own. As we look down on things be-low, may we take a glimpse upwards to the above, to God, who desires the same thing of ourselves: to make the imperfect, perfect; and the ordinary, extraordinary.

it may seem like they are just trying

gb�àThag�g[X\e�T`Tm\aZ�Tg[_Xg\V�TU\_\gl�and special scholarships. I even hear

hateful words around campus such

as, “Stupid Spartans,” or “Oooo!

They get special treatment!” But do

they deserve all the hate they get?

First off, let’s look at some other

schools. Those who attend college,

particularly in the United States,

become instant followers of their

school’s team for the rest of their

lives. For example, if you attend and

graduate from Stanford, then you are

very likely to be a Cardinal follower

for the rest of your life. It doesn’t

matter where you live after gradu-

ation, you would be loyal to your

school and the athletic program of

that school. In fact, if you ask some-

one if they went to Stanford you may

hear the answer, “Yes, I certainly

graduated from Stanford,” but you

are more likely to hear the answer,

“Yup, I’m a Cardinal!” This is called

being a fanatic, or ‘fan’ for short. Yes,

that’s right people. It is our job to not

hate, but to be fans of our athletes!

Because the reality is - they need us,

and we need them.

But why should we support them?

What good do we get out of it? It’s

simple. The Spartans represent TWU

to the rest of the country, and they

have been doing an outstanding job.

Because of the amount of success the

Spartans have on a yearly basis, TWU

has become a very well known school

throughout Canada. Normally, peo-

ple on the other side of the country

would not have heard of a little pri-

vate university of 4000 students had

not their local public universities

been demolished by them in sports.

And when we graduate from a well-

known school, employers are more

impressed with our degrees. So we

are very blessed to have talented ath-

letes representing TWU.

Every year, new students are given

free Spartans t-shirts. This is a sim-

ple invitation from the Spartans to

have the rest of the students to sup-

port them at their games. The more

fans in the stands, the better, because

the more support they get, the better

their performance becomes. So in-

stead of hating on Spartans, why not

just call yourself a Spartan? Don’t be

afraid to wear the logo from time to

time. If you are a part of this school,

then you should do yourself and your

team a favour and root for the Spar-

tans! And let’s not forget to have fun!

Trinity Western

U n i v e r s i t y ’ s

strongest teams

are ready to face

another season,

but with ex-

pectations that reach the sky. As the

number one ranked women try to re-

peat as champions, the men’s team

will try to retain their dominance

ba�g[X�ßX_W!�J\g[�aXj�TaW�b_W�YTVXf�returning to the pitch and the pre-

season already wrapping up, it looks

like the Spartans will be in for anoth-

er stellar season.

The women’s soccer team does

not seem to be hung over at all from

g[X\e�V[T`c\baf[\c��Tf�g[Xl�ßa\f[XW�off the preseason with a 5-1 record.

However, key departures have left a

question mark on the back end. Nik-

ki Byrne and Jilian Dietrich are two of

the four starting defenders that have

departed from the team. Although

they have left a huge hole, this will

leave opportunity for younger players

to play in the back under the guidance

of Colleen Webber and Jennifer Cas-

tillo, two of the best centre backs in

the country.

Other key departures include Kris-

ten Funk and Tessa Meyer, who were

key contributors to the Spartan suc-

cess in the past seasons. Fortunately,

11 of the 14 defending champions will

be returning this year for the wom-

en’s team. With the core of last year’s

team still remaining, the women’s

Spartans soccer team will be expected

to perform like champions and con-

tinue to hold that winning title.

The men’s team has shown to be a

force in this league. Being undefeated

in their exhibition matches, they have

put a bit of fear in the eyes of the op-

ponents. The Spartans men’s soc-

cer team recruited nine new players,

changing the face of the team. One

of these nine include six-foot-three

striker, Dominic Reinold. The Ger-

man native has high expectations for

the team as he has plenty of NCAA

Div. 1 experience in his resume. Last

season he notched 21 goals and eight

assists in 36 games for Fairleigh

Dickinson University. Coach Pat

Rohla openly states that he has high

expectations for Reinold, calling him

a “program changer.” On paper this

team has improved from last year

and the hopes are high for our men’s

team to come home this year with a

championship.

Although the pressure is on for

these two teams, they have two ex-

cellent coaches—Graham Roxburgh

and Pat Rohla. This pair has exhib-

ited the ability to put teams together

and create chemistry between their

c_TlXef�ba�g[X�ßX_W!�9be�g[X�g\`X�UX-

ing, all we can do is wait and see if

they perform at the level of the expec-

tations set upon them.

It was a loud and proud Spartan atmo-sphere at the old David E. Enarson Gymnasium on Friday night as the newly

formed TWU Spartans took on the UC River-side Highlanders of the NCAA. The Spartans experimented with new and returning players to prepare for the season. Although the Spar-tans took a hard 98-76 loss, it is simply a loss to learn from.

The difference of skill level between div. 1 NCAA and CIS basketball certainly showed throughout the game. The Highlanders moved the ball better, took better shots, and ultimately scored more points than the Spartans. The Spartans struggled as they caused a few too many turnovers and did not play defense to the best of their capabilities. However, the Spar-tans did a fair job against a team from a league that is far superior to the CIS.

Notable players for the Spartans were Mark Perrin, who scored a good 16 points, Denny Mc-Donald, who scored 12, while Kelvin Smith and Anthony Ottley scored 11 points each. Ottley, a potential addition to the Spartans, showed much promise as he made his presence known throughout the game.

Though the day ended in a loss, this game should strengthen them as they learn from their mistakes and build team chemistry. Yet again, the Spartan athletics program has put Tabg[Xe�XkV\g\aZ�gXT`�ba�g[X�àbbe�Ybe� g[X�hc-coming season.

Am I the only girl whose day is im-proved by new underwear?#dirtyli#lesecret

The only bad thing about being back on campus is that your ex is too.

Anyone else notice how swole Graham Gibson’s lookin thse days?

Sarah and David eh? #dating

In your first year?Need to fix your laptop?Look no further.Lamar’s Laptops can help you out.

Maybe this is the year Stu will finally realize i exist..from, shy and hopeful

So much shaking at dorm skits.so.much.shaking.

Old guy wearing high heels, mini skirt and pig tails at Walmart. . .questionable.

My fridge makes a noise I can only compare to an in-heat cat underwater. #robsonliving

If you had a dragon, what’s the first thing you would do? “Make s’mores” -Brandi Carter

THE HIMNAL Cody

Friesen

Hometown: Just around the River bend

Denomination: MM Baby – you know you’ll love it

Fave preacher: My Father, Jesus and Biological

Fave Bible verse: Song of Solomon 2:5 “Sustain me with raisans,

refresh me with apples for I am love sick”

Favourite man in the bible:I can be your Boaz

How long before you propose?

How long till spring?

Idea of a perfect date: Catch, pluck, roast, eat a Trinity goose together

under the stars in the back 40 while enjoying

invigorating and enriching conversation

Good age to get married?

Her age

Best place for a first kiss?

In the pouring rain, Notebook style

Top quality in a future mate?Loves Jesus (Although, ability to hold your

breath underwater for 1 minute and 32 seconds

is also a plus)

How would you win the parents over? Treat her like gold.

How do you know if it’s love:Mutual, unashamed farting

Skill that makes you the one:Bear Hunter

Domestic talent: K.D. – I can even add the ketchup ;)

How many kids?4. But I could be into more if necessary

Tyson Dalla $waggy comin at ya strong for another year. Holla at yo boy TWU.

When our bodies decay only candy corn will remain.

4 days of class, 4 fire alarms...#trinityresidentproblems

major: Theatre

Wait, am I not allowed to do this if I’m on the media fast?! NOOOOOOO.

So I was watching Star Wars the other night, when I happened upon a startling and groundbreaking question: How do you get a job as an Imperial Star Ship Captain? Is it something you’re born into, do you work your way up through evil deeds, or what? Are there educational requirements for such a high-tech position? Would you do an apprenticeship, or would you go to college? Super cereal. It’s an in-teresting question I think, but most importantly, and incredibly pivotal to the future of the entire universe’s future is this: What are we, Vikings?
