T-shirts and socks hung high on

a clothesline at Seven Palms from

Oct. 14 through 18 for the Clothes-

line Project, a week-long event

where students and faculty showedtheir support for survivors of do-

mestic abuse and sexual assault.

The event was sponsored by the

Women’s Resource Center and sup-

 ported by the University Counseling

Center, Campus Pastors Ofce and

Ofce of Residence Life.

The Clothesline Project is de-

signed to give a voice to men and

women who have experienced the

horrors of domestic violence. Survi-vors were encouraged to write their 

thoughts and experiences on a T-

shirt. Other students showed support

 by writing encouragement on socks

and hanging them as a symbolic

commitment to pray for the victims

and survivors in the community.

The Clothesline Project was

established in 1990 in Cape Cod,

Mass., when the Women’s De-

fense Agenda learned that 58,000

President Jon Wallace addressed

a question regarding overcrowding

on campus in the 8th “Town Hall”

last Wednesday, saying that Azusa

Pacic’s goal is to maintain the size

of the current freshman class, which

stands at approximately 1,700 stu-

dents. In the last three years, APU

has enrolled around 1,200 rst-time

freshmen each fall, according to sta-

tistics from the Ofce of Institutional

Research and Assessment.

As the student body has grown

larger, some students have become

concerned about overcrowding on

campus with more people vying for 

the same number of housing and parking spots and other resources.

Departments push students

toward academic advising

APU has amped up academic advising this year in

an effort to help students graduate on time, althougheach department takes a different approach.

For the rst time, the Communication Studies De-

 partment told students that they are required to watch an

advising video prior to any academic advising appoint-

ment. Debra Cram, the department’s administrative co-

ordinator, said the faculty came up with the idea. Cram

said the video helps answer common questions that stu-

dents have and encourages them to come prepared to the

appointment so they know what to expect.

“We’ve always stressed advising and have denite-

ly noticed a decline in attendance,” Cram said. “That’s

why these last couple of years, Comm Studies has made

it mandatory for freshmen and juniors to come in.”

Cram said the department was noticing more seniors

coming in during their last semester “frantic” due to

missing requirements that could have been noticed ear-

lier if they had taken advantage of academic advising.

Cram also said students who spend time with fac-

ulty are not only building relationships, but networking

with professors who can write great reference letters,

give professional advice and help them focus on their 

career goals.

“There are noticeable differences between thosewho take the time to be advised and those who don’t. It

makes sense that a student who is wise enough to take

advantage of the advising opportunities might also be

more intentional in all areas of their academic career,”

Cram said.

A recent APU 411, the weekly list of announce-

ments, campus news, classieds and upcoming events

sent to all students, included a master list of phone

numbers for every department for students with ques-

tions about academic advising, which ends Nov. 1.

 Not all departments are pushing academic advis-

ing, however. Cindy Richmond, the undergraduate

school administrator of the School of Business and

Management, said her ofce has not made changes to

its academic advising requirements.

“In the School of Business, we do not require the

students to go to advising, but it is strongly

encouraged because you want to graduate

on time,” Richmond said. “Ultimately, it

is up to the student to figure out what they

need.”

Many students come in as a freshman with

their whole four years already mapped out so

they can graduate on time or even early, while

others just want to squeeze by and just get

through, Richmond said. Business students tend

to be the ones to have everything already g-

ured out, she said.

Richmond said there are too many students

in the Business School to schedule one-on-one

advising with each of them.

“We want students to know it’s their re-

sponsibility,” she said.

Many students do not feel the need to attend

academic advising, since all requirements are

listed in APU’s yearly catalog, which is avail-

able online.

“I have not gone because I found the sys-

tem easy enough to follow as long as I paid

attention to the catalog,” said communicationstudies major Spencer Troutman, who has

never been to an academic advising appoint-

ment. “I see its purpose because some people

like things to be laid out in front of them in

order to fully understand what they need to

do.”

But Troutman said he wishes he had gone

to advising his freshman year, because it would

have saved him a lot of stress he had to deal

with on his own.

“I do believe APU is trying to give stu-

dents as much help as possible and that they

understand that

school is expen-

sive for us and

that we want to

get out ASAP,”

he said.While some

students don’t

feel a need for 

academic advis-

ing, others nd it a great help in planning their 

future schedules.

lot because many students wouldn’t be able

Wallace assured students that instead of 

accepting ever-larger classes, Azusa Pacic

will encourage growth through transfers.

Additionally, APU will also focus its at-

tention on opening and expanding undergrad-

uate programs at its regional centers.

The Cougar Dome event, also called the

“State of the University,” was hosted by the

Ofce for Student Reconciliation and Diversi-ty. It included a panel of upper administrative

staff to which the student body could bring

questions on virtually any topic. Approxi-

mately 150 students were in attendance this

year, many of them student leaders.

“I think that [this event] is by far one of 

the coolest things about this school,” said Uni-

versity Village Resident Advisor Sean Janas.

“How the top-of-the-top leaders come in this

intimate setting and just share their hearts and

are open to any kind of question.”

The panel consisted of Wallace, Ed Bar-

ron, OSRD co-executive director, Dr. Richard

Martinez, special assistant to OSRD presi-

dent, Dr. Kimberly Denu, special advisor to

the president and provost, and Dr. Terry Fran-

son, dean of students.

Students came forth with questions ranging

OveRcROwding, from Pg. 1

from security on campus to issues of communi-

cation between students and the administration.

“We have to have open honest conversa-

tions … in the beautiful mosaic that is APU. To-

gether we can become a stronger, more united

community,” Franson said in response to con-

cerns about a gap between the students and the

“higher powers.”

The panel did not address a question regard-

ing the issue of parking, which seems to be a

growing problem.

Some students said they were encouraged

 by the transparency between the board and the

student body.

“As [APU] is growing … they’re focusing

on maintaining their identity as a faith-based

academic institution,” Alosta Place ResidentAdvisor Mitch Freisen said. “The panel are very

trustworthy people, very motivated to focus on

loving people, because they love God and they

do so in a way that really respects everyone …

and they themselves serve, which is the most

important part.”

Barron said he hopes that students walked

away from the meeting feeling heard, honored,

encouraged and enlightened. The Town Hall is

one of two opportunities during the school year 

for students to interact with the president. The

next forum will be held in the spring.

“I don’t know too many places where you

can have an hour and a half on your turf with

the president, who’s the busiest person at the uni-

versity,” said Barron. “It’s important that the stu-

dents know they always have an opportunity to

come share their hearts and ask those questions.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The post of

Religious Freedom is vacant once again.

The State Department says Suzan John-

son Cook has left the position she’s held for 

the last year and a half.

Prior to her conrmation in April 2011,

the diplomatic post sat vacant for almost

two years, prompting critics to question the

Obama administration’s commitment to pro-

moting religious liberty abroad.

In a statement Thursday, the State De-

 partment says the U.S. will continue to call

for “protection of religious minorities” and

support international efforts “to combat reli-

gious intolerance in a manner that does not

 block the ow of free expression.”The 1998 law creating the ambassa-

dor’s post also calls for naming “countries

of particular concern” that restrict religious

freedom. The listed countries have included

 North Korea, China and Saudi Arabia, but

other issues usually have received higher 

diplomatic priority.

Dr Pepper Snapple Group and

national nonprot KaBOOM! have

once again awarded the City of Azusa

a $20,000 grant, according to a City

of Azusa announcement last month.

The city will use the grant to build a

new playground in Downtown Azu-

sa, which is  on Azusa Ave. and 6th

Ave. about two miles from campus.

The grant is part of Let’s Play, a

 partnership led by Dr Pepper SnappleGroup to get kids active by building

 playgrounds throughout the nation.

This is the second grant awarded to

the City of Azusa; the rst went to

the construction of Zacatecas Park in

south Azusa.

“We have a good relationship

with them,” said Azusa Recreation

and Family Services Director Joe Ja-

cobs. “We have received two grants

 prior with them, because our city is

considered a playful city. We have

nice parks and keep our facilities

clean.”

This year’s money is going to the

installation of a playground down-

town at Edwards Park on Sixth Street.

Its total projected cost is $150,000,

A Red Bull xed-gear freestyle

rider took several APU students on

a ve-mile bike ride around Azusa

Tuesday, Oct. 15 to spread awareness

of xed-gear freestyle and connect

with the local biking community.

The rider, Josh Boothby, met stu-

dents in Seven Palms in the late af -

ternoon. The group stopped at a skate

 park in Glendora’s Finkbiner Park to

do some freestyle and eat food from

Donut Man.

“We did a couple tricks there for a

while, hung out. Josh was able to play

a game with one of our riders, where

they go around and see who can bet -

ter each other on the tricks and that

was cool,” said Reed Woodyard, co-

founder and manager of The HUB,

APU’s free bike service program.

“It was a sweet ride. Beautiful

day, beautiful sunset.”

Even though Boothby specializes

in single-speed bikes commonly re-

ferred to as “xies,” the event catered

to all bikers. The group sported a va-

riety of bikes, including xies, DMX

 bikes and road bikes.

“It was a good mix. We’re just

all about biking in general. So if it’s

got two wheels, then we’re pretty

much set,” said Woodyard, a se-

nior business administration major. 

Woodyard said he was contacted sev-

eral weeks ago about the event by an

event organizer.

Woodyard, who has been a road

 biker since high school, taught him-

self to x bikes before he helped

found The HUB in January 2012.

They set up a booth on Cougar Walk 

every Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

to offer free bike xing services to

the APU community.

“It’s great to kind of help orga-

nize the biking community,” Wood-

yard said.

According to an event organizer,

Boothby brought with him several

“Wings Team” members — women

who pass out free Red Bull drinks.

Woodyard said the free drinks and

their large van made the event even

more exciting.

“They do it right,” he said.

Boothby visited ve universities

in three days to ride with students and

network with local bike shops while

spreading awareness of xed-gear freestyle.

“I think it’s really cool [that] I get

to hang out and ride with different

 people in different locations and see

how they ride and how they interact

with each other,” Boothby said.

This year marks Boothby’s sec-

ond year with Red Bull. He said Red

Bull has been “an awesome opportu-

nity” and has allowed him to try new

things, such as riding with college

students.

“I thought the APU students were

really cool and they were really inter -

ested in what I do, and it was great

having them come out,” Boothby

said.

After departing Azusa, Boothby

traveled to California State Uni-

versity San Bernardino, then to the

University of California Riverside to

meet other college students and their 

local bike shops.

This is not the rst time Red Bull

has reached out to APU students. In

March, Red Bull hosted “Rail Jam”

in Citrus Crossing, where snow and

a ramp were brought into the parking

lot behind the Ross store across from

East Campus. Students rode with

 professional Red Bull snowboarders

in the parking lot for several hours.

Last year, Red Bull BMX rider 

Terry Adams also visited campus, ac-

cording to an event organizer.

With the help of a

grant, Edwards

 Park will build a

new playground in

hopes of bringing

the community

downtown

which goes toward a new play struc-

ture, drinking fountains, benches and

a statue to honor veterans. It is sched-

uled to be completed by Nov. 30.

“Edwards Park was a passive

walk-by or sit-on-a-bench kind of 

 park,” Jacobs said. “Now we are cre-

ating a more active park with play-ground equipment to bring people

 back downtown. The city (govern-

ment) is always trying to rejuvenate

the downtown area and this is the

Ofce of Recreation and Family ser -

vices’ attempt to do just that.”

The Rosedale Housing develop-

ment contributed $110,000 to con-

struct the playground, along with

small contributions from KaBOOM! 

and an annual local golf tournament.

“The majority of the money

came from the Rosedale develop-

ment to ensure the parks on the

like stepchildren parks,” Jacobs

said. “There is money on a sepa-

rate account that allows for park 

improvements on the South Side.” 

Rosedale is a new community next to

APU on the north end of town that is

 building nine new parks, six of which

have already been completed.

The park downtown will be

fenced off with retractable gates to

ensure the safety of kids from trafcwhen the playground is assembled.

“It is going to be high-end,” Ja-

cobs said. “There is a lot of residential

housing nearby that will give these

kids a chance to use these facilities.

It will also give us an opportunity to

facilitate that downtown vibe. Where

you can go out to dinner and then take

your kids to the park.”

When construction nishes Sat-

urday, Nov. 30, Edwards Park will

host a community build event with

approximately 75 local volunteers to

install the playground material, put

in swings, and assemble trash cans,

 benches and drinking fountains from

8 a.m. to 12 p.m., followed by a rib-

Clothesline Project gives a voice to the voiceless

soldiers were killed during the Vietnam War,

and during that time 51,000 women in the U.S.were killed by men who claimed to love them.

Because women traditionally hung their clothes

out to dry on a clothesline, allowing themselves

time to talk with each other, the organization

used the drying aid as the visual representation

for their cause.

“[The clothesline] is symbolic in telling their 

story as a survivor,” said Kaley Lindquist, the

2nd year grad student and assistant of the WRC.

The T-shirts displayed various stories of 

fear, hurt, redemption and strength.

“What the shirt represents is giving a voice

to the voiceless,” Lindquist said. “That is the

 purpose of the project — to give a voice to these

stories that are so often unheard.”

The Clothesline Project was available for 

visitors throughout the whole week, with WRC

staff, along with campus pastors and UCC staff 

available for support and information from 9

a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. Thursday at 1 p.m.,

WRC staff held a communal prayer meeting

with students and faculty to pray for survivors.

One survivor of sexual assault said the

event is particularly helpful on a college campus

 because it has the potential to “open people’s

eyes to what is going on around them.”

“[Abuse] is not this whole other, scary, dark 

world,” said the sophomore sociology major,

who wished to remain anonymous. “It’s

something that’s here and is present and is in

every sort of life. I t can affect anybody.”

WRC graduate assistant Christal Stanley said

some people who have never been affected by

domestic violence do not realize how much of a

 problem it really is.

“I [kept] hearing the word ‘powerful’ after they

read the T-shirts and the stories,” Stanley said.

SuRvivORS, m PG. 1  Not only does the Clothesline Project

 provide awareness to those who are uninformed

of the severity of this problem, it allows APU to

step up as a community-centered student bodyto create unity for these survivors. As well as a

safe place to share.

“I know there abuse survivors out there

who are hurting and it makes me want to know

who they are so I can reach out to them,” the

anonymous sophomore sociology major said.

“Even though it’s different situations and

different people, it’s something that we should

 be reaching out to as a community and as a

student body.”

After letting the story out on a T-shirt, the next

step is healing. The mission of the WRC and other 

supporting departments is to be available to hear 

the stories of those who didn’t put up shirts or feel

like they have an ongoing story worth telling. The

Clothesline Project was simply a steppingstone to

 providing a safe place for students to nd healing.

“My role is to be available in case there are

women who would like to form a sexual assault

survivor group,” said Dr. Elaine Walton, WRC

director and a UCC psychologist. “[I want] to

hear what [students] really want and then try

and meet that need with the resources that we

have.”

The WRC highly encourages any student,

male or female, who has been affected by the

devastation of sexual assault and domestic

violence to come into its ofce, or the UCC

or Campus Pastors’ ofces.

“We love having our male students in our ofce,

and we would encourage even more men to

come,” Lindquist said. “These issues are not

 just women’s issues.”

 Free the Captives open mic for sex trafcking awarness

Free the Captives hosted a night of poetry

and song Thursday on Trinity Lawn to highlight

the issue of sex trafcking.

Throughout the open-mic night, students

 performed spoken-word pieces, poems and

songs on nding love, identity and forgiveness

through God and relationships. Some studentswrote songs specically for the event.

Members of the club, which started just last

year, designate their meetings and their time to

raising awareness of sex trafcking and to doing

service projects in local Los Angeles. This is their 

second event of the year. Their rst event featured

a guest speaker who talked about the issue.

Students would occasionally pause during

 performances to express personal thoughts and

encourage involvement from others.

Senior psychology major Arielle Wilburn

 performed a spoken-word piece about human

trafcking with senior English major Ana

Camacho. Both used to be on the slam team

which is a team that travels and competes in

 preforming spoken word and poetry against

other schools and people.

They had both previously performedthe work at another event, but Wilburn and

Camacho felt this was not a piece that could

only be performed once. They decided this open

mic night would be the perfect event to perform

the piece again and connect the slam team with

Free the Captives.

When Free the Captives started, student

leaders wanted to raise awareness about human

trafcking, which is a local Los Angeles issue

as well as a global one.

“We just really feel that raising awareness

around a campus such as Azusa Pacic is such

a vital opportunity for students to recognize

the social injustice of human trafcking,” said

sophomore Christian ministries major Josh

Holm, president and one of the founders of Free

the Captives.

The open-mic night had a set line of 

 performers in addition to allowing audience

members to freely express what was on their 

hearts. Some chose to free-style spoken word

and others spontaneously read poetry.

“We put on this event to bring out

 passionate student performers who want to do

 just that, bring out the injustice and this cause,”

said Holm.

Junior psychology major Tayler Owings

said the event was important in order to educate

students on the prevalence of human trafcking both globally and in the U.S, becasue not a lot

of people are aware of it’s presense in the U.S.

“I love that this is such a prevalent thing of 

the Lord and that he does set the captives free

and this event clearly shows that,” Owings said.

Free the Captives hopes to hold more

events throughout the semester and year and

 bring awareness to even more people through

different ways of reaching people. The event

was a great success and got great feedback from

the crowd which helped support the club by

 buying their t-shirts.

“Even if they [students] are not going to

go out into the world and change it, at least

their hearts are softened to this issue and their 

 perception changes, so when they come against

this issue they are more open to the Holy Spirit

speaking to them to make a difference.”

Staying safe around campusKate Brownstaff writer

They’re everywhere, on the streets, in the

 parking lots and around campus. They sport red

 polo shirts and patrol all day and night. They

are Campus Safety ofcers, the student workers

and staff devoted to the safety of APU.The Department of Campus Safety offers

a variety of services and information to help

students, faculty and staff.

Personal safety is one of the main priorities

of Campus Safety and they offer information

to keep students aware of possible dangers

and good practices for preventing harm or 

theft.

Campus Safety’s motto is “if you see

something, say something,” which emphasizes

the importance of student tips to maintain

security on campus.

“If we don’t get calls, we don’t know what

is happening,” Meyer said.

Meyers said one student called in last year 

about suspicious people in University Village,

which later lead to an arrest for burglary.

One of the key ways to staying safe aroundcampus according to Meyers is to not travel

alone, especially at night time, and to be aware

of your surrounding at all times. Always make

sure you know who’s around you and what you

have on yourself that may be taken. It’s also

important to keep valuables locked up or at least

stowed away somewhere where it’s not easy to

access them.

Free services include an after hours

shuttle service that will take students between

East Campus, West Campus and on-campus

housing complexes from 10:45 p.m. to 2

a.m. seven days a week. There are also 24/7

safety escorts either on foot or by vehicle and

a whistle program to provide free whistles to

whoever wants them.

Campus Safety also hosts the Rape

Aggression Defense (R.A.D) program that

teaches women self-defense techniques to

 protect themselves from sexual assault.

The ofce also issues timely warnings to

all students via email in accordance with The

Jeanne Cleary Disclosure of Campus Security

Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (1990).

According to the Cleary Center for Security on Campus, the act “requires

colleges and universities across the United

States to disclose information about crime on

and around their campuses” and is enforced

 by the U.S Department of Education.

Meyers stressed that one of the current

safety concerns on campus is theft,

 parti cula rly thef t due to unlocked bicycles .

He says some students use cable locks which

are easily disabled and that some students do

not lock their bikes at all.

“Be responsible adults and lock your bikes

up,” Meyers said.

According to Meyers the ofce conscates

all unlocked bikes, they have already conscated

63 bikes in the last two months alone.

Meyers recommended buying U-Locks

and said to lock up all valuables and be carefulwith valuable possessions tro prevent “crimes

of opportunity.”

Campus Safety also works alongside the

Azusa Police Department to address crime in

and around APU.

Meyer says he meets with Police Chief 

Samuel Gonzalez once or twice a month to

address safety concerns and that for the rst

time an Azusa police ofcer was assigned APU

for a beat this year.

Ofcer Mike Bires now patrols campus

four times a week as a part of what Meyer 

said is a positive working relationship with the

Azusa PD.

Students are encouraged to call Campus

Safety about any concerns. The office can be

reached 24 hours a day at (626) 815-3898.

 Bel Canto performs in Azusa Allson Thompsonstaff writer

spm ha Macc pm a pc g B Ca’ cpmac a.

The Bel Canto Women’s Choir 

 performed at Village Covenant Church

Sunday October 20 and began working

toward their goal of localizing their concerts

to Azusa churches.

The congregation welcomed the 43ladies who sang six songs in their second

 performance of the semester.

Beginning with what is known as the

APU Round, which involves each member 

circling around the crowd and singing in a

circular formation. The ladies surrounded

the pews and started with their rst song,

“How Can I Keep From Singing?” The

church specically asked the ladies to do the

Round, which allows for a more personal

experience between the choir and the

congregation.

“We are trying to minister to local

churches in Azusa and reach out to our 

surrounding community,” said senior liberal

studies major Karissa Hoshiwara.

Choir director Dr. David Hughes said

another goal is to create a community of ladies

who glorify God through “servanthood.”

“We’re not out there for the accolades or to

 perform, but we’re out to serve the churches,”

Hughes said.

The church body responded well to the

ladies, especially to one of their nal songs

titled “Operator,” which revolved around asking

to be connected to Jesus.

As the soft voices lled the sanctuary thecongregation was able to simply sit and enjoy

the performance while reecting upon the lyrics.

Throughout the concert, different ladies

came up to the microphone, introduced

themselves, told the congregation the title of 

the next song and explained how it was relevant

to them.

The set list is altered each time to cater 

to the unique worship styles of the churches,

which range from traditional Lutheran to

charismatic Gospel.

7/27/2019 Clause for October 23, 2013

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/clause-for-october-23-2013 8/12

Opinion

I was born and raised in Azusa and have

lived in Azusa my whole life. I have seen a lot

of things change in this city, but the biggest was

when the construction of the shopping center we

now know as Citrus Crossing began. I was not

sure why it was being built, but I loved the ideaof getting a Panda Express and other cool shops

close to home.

Along with the construction of Citrus

Crossing, I began seeing APU’s logo appear 

around the city more frequently. The vacant

 building across the street from St. Frances of 

Rome church became an Azusa Pacic building

and the old drive-in theater that held so many

memories for myself and other Azusa residents

was turned into the West Campus parking lot.

I wondered why this was happening. My

initial feeling was frustration that the university

was taking over my city. I wondered if other 

Azusa residents felt that way about it. Howev-

er, after I attended summer school on the APU

campus in middle school, I developed an af-

nity for the university. I took classes on West

Campus and felt comfortable there.I believe that APU is, contrary to various

rumors, very much appreciated by Azusa resi-

dents. Students really do want to help the com-

munity. There are many organizations on cam-

 pus that work with students at local schools and

in other areas of the city. Students also go into

the city to be a part of certain service programs.

One of the more well-known programs in

Azusa is Homework House. According to its

website, the group’s mission is to “help Azusa’s

students to advance academically in a support-

ive setting through parent involvement, mentor-ing relationships, community partnerships, and

spiritual support.”

According to Shana Sanchez, deputy direc-

tor of Homework House, about 70 to 80 percent

of volunteers at Homework House are Azusa

Pacic students.

“The majority of our volunteer base is from

APU,” Sanchez said. “I would say if we were not

next to APU, we would not exist here in the city.”

Volunteers help kids with homework, play

games with them and give them someone to talk to

when they may not have that at home. A lot of spe-

cial bonds have been formed through this program.

Sanchez is happy to see that APU continues to

grow in their efforts to serve the Azusa community.

“I am an APU alum, so it really encourages

me to see that that spirit of service hasn’t stopped

at APU,” Sanchez said. “To see them connectwith our kids and give them their own story and

their life ... they had a journey that brought them

to APU and higher education, and I love it when

I see them sharing that with our kids so it can

inspire our kids to think about college.”

Sanchez said APU and Azusa are tied to-

gether and that when one grows, the other 

grows with it.

“I think APU’s story is very much written

into the city of Azusa’s story, so when i t grows,

the city has to grow and it does adapt to changes

that are made on campus and how many stu-

dents they admit,” Sanchez said. “I would say

a lot of the development in this city has been

 because of APU.”

The university has brought great things to

Azusa and both the students and the city are ben-

eting from it. APU graduate student and Azusaresident Marie Millares recognizes that APU’s

additions to the city are great for both parties.

“With more students coming to APU, you

have to expand somehow,” Millares said. “Be-

cause the university is growing, Target and new

food places were built around the city. Not only

does it help the students of the university, but

it also helps the city of Azusa and it makes our 

city look a lot brighter and nicer.”

These new businesses that continue to be

 built around the city appreciate the students of 

APU because, well, how could you complain

about more customers?

“APU is very important to the city of Azu-

sa,” Dalia’s general manager, Firas Diyab, said.

“For all of the businesses around Azusa, it’s re-

ally important to have APU there, growing, and

 bringing more people. Bringing more people to

the city is great for every business around here.”

Do all Azusa residents think APU is only

sunshine and butteries? Well, no. According

to Sanchez, rumors oat around families when-

ever a new place is being built, an old place is

 being torn down, or some sort of construction is

taking place.

These changes include the recent move

of Homework House to Foothill Community

Church, previously meeting at various locationsaround the city. However, according to San-

chez, there is no evidence of APU having any

 part of this.

Sanchez said the Metro Gold Line will run

right in front of one of the former Homework 

House locations, which caused the landowners

to want remodeling done. Remodeling meant

the price of rent would increase, which was

not something Homework House could afford.

At the location on Sixth Street near Santana’s

Mexican restaurant, the individual land own-

ers did not take care of the buildings and the

city had to step in and make changes due to the

location not being up to code. Those buildings

ended up being knocked down.

Rumors are just rumors. APU and its stu-

dents make great strides to help the city of Azusa,

and as long as the university does not push the

numbers of enrollment to the point where it needs

more housing, there will not be any problems.

If APU continues to push the city’s bound-

aries by buying more property and if people lose

their homes as a result of this, then there will

 be problems. The university should be wary and

conscious of that.

I love my city, I love the people of my city,

and I highly appreciate those who cater to the

needs of the city. I used to hear many people sayhow ghetto Azusa was, but luckily, it has been

quite some time since I last heard someone say

that. I am thankful for the efforts APU has made

to help make this city cleaner and more enjoyable.

 A dilemma of the consumption of alcohol 

To speak candidly about alco-

hol intake means I cannot censor the

convicting theological discussions I

have had while under the inuence,

the fact I was raised in an alcohol-

rich environment, my experience

with the norms of consumption in

various countries or being a witness

to the complete psychological dis-mantling of friends due to addiction.

These things make up my history and

through this lens I will speak truth to

any who are struggling with addic-

tion, men and women utterly con-

dent in their beliefs, as well as those

who scoff at the ‘weakness’ mentality

of substance abuse.

Countless faces race through my

head as I remember friends from high

school who drank to cope with vio-

lence at home, rampant insecurities

of the esh and the loss of life. We

would nd ourselves in precarious

 positions with the police on a weekly

 basis, everyone laughing it off as if 

our blissful ignorance was a privi-

lege we had, being adolescents and

all. But while some would stand back 

and look upon our group as miscreant boys and girls, I could only see them

as conicted youth.

Church was never a spring of hope,

for all the services belittled our pain

and vilied our coping mechanism.

After an abrasive brush with the

slippery slope of overindulgence, I

realized; while the Christian commu-

nities had claimed they meant well,

change needed to come from within

our group; a hint of judgment would

 bring crashing down the ironclad

gates that guard our hearts.

Healing came from intentional

discourse, meeting individuals as

equals, exactly where they were at in

their life. Whether that be searching

for eyes through clouds of smoke or sharing a drink with someone neck-

deep in liquor, I found ways to remove

the façade and strip away the walls

my friends glued to their hearts. The

relevance of this story is found in the

fact that throughout my interactions

with friends I never once mentioned

their sin or looming punishment.

C.S. Lewis speaks to this idea

of eliminating oppressive diction

and judgment: “One of the marks of 

a certain type of bad man is that he

cannot give up a thing himself with-

out wanting every one else to give

it up. That is not the Christian way.

An individual Christian may see t

to give up all sorts of things for spe-

cial reason — marriage, or meat, or 

 beer, or the cinema; but the moment

he starts saying the things are bad inthemselves, or looking does his nose

at other people who do use them, he

has taken the wrong turning.”

When we as Christians start to

 press our beliefs on another, or de-

monize a friend’s choice to drink 

 because we feel that God calls us to

correct that path, we are doing much

more harm than good. If Christians

institutionalize our religion with the

concept that any and all use of alco-

hol is fundamentally evil, we raise

the risk of wrongly indoctrinating

our youth and ultimately prolonging

ignorance.

In Luke 7:34, Jesus himself is

wrongly judged for his consumption:

“The Son of Man has come eating

and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a

glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax

collectors and sinners!’”

If our convictions lead us to chas-

tise and make assumptions, there is a

fundamental aw in our perception of 

tough love. It is vital for the Chris-

tian community to see the possibility

of alcohol contributing to fellowship,

instead of simply hindering morality.

“I see alcohol playing a benevo-lent role in Christian community all

over the Bible,” senior cinematic

arts production major Brooks Mal-

 berg said. “Jesus’ rst miracle was

turning water into wine [and] this

took place at a wedding, what one

might call the pinnacle of Christian

community.”

While there is a denite warning

against gluttony of all types in the Bi-

 ble, there is also a wealth of examples

where alcohol is portrayed as a com-

munal enjoyment at celebrations.

Douglas Gresham, C.S. Lewis’s

stepson, challenged the Christian

community in a recent interview

with Christianity Today: “The prob-

lem with evangelical Christianity in

America today, a large majority of 

you have sacriced the essential for 

the sake of the trivial. You concen-

trate on the trivialities — not smok-

ing, not drinking, not using bad lan-

guage, not dressing inappropriately in

church, and so on. Jesus doesn’t give

two hoots for that sort of bulls**t. If 

you go out and DO Christianity, you

can smoke if you want, you can drink 

if you want—though not to excess, ineither case.”

APU’s updated code of conduct

is clear on this issue, letting students

know that any “indication of any

 participant being under the inuence

of alcohol ... [is] subject to probable

suspension or expulsion from the

University.” While this position can

 be justied by the image APU tries to

uphold for parents and donors, a pub-

lic challenge for students needs to be

 brought to light.

After the diploma is given and the

last chapel service is attended, will

our students vilify those who choose

to partake in alcohol consumption?

Beyond the stigmatized desire for 

college parties and inebriated urriesof ecstasy, this is a theological issue

that each intellectual at this school

needs to grapple with—preferably

outside the warm blanket of APU’s

image-conscious value system. Take

it upon yourself to nd a voice in this

matter; do not let any authority g-

ure simply dictate and manipulate the

 beautiful intellect with which God

 blessed you.

Steven Mercado is a senior journalism

 major and communication studies minor from Azusa, Calif. He enjoys watching and playing

 sports, dancing for VFO, and teaching in the mission trip he leads to South Korea.

others will do more

harm than good

to Darling Library, I turn around to

survey the crowds of students milling

about. That’s when I see her.

A woman is gliding toward me

with grace and poise. She’s headed to

the library to study her morning de-

votionals, no doubt. She smiles at me.

My mouth hangs open.

A switch in my brain ips. With

two condent steps, I approach the

doors of Darling Library, maintain-

ing eye contact. My hand reaches out

and I lean forward to grasp the door 

and pull it open in a classic gesture of 

gentility. My hand, however, nds no

door, only air. Frantically, it clutches

at empty space in a last-ditch effort to

keep me upright, but it is too late. I’ve

fallen all over myself. Li terally.

While I wasn’t looking, the new

automatic doors at the entrance to the

Darling rotunda had opened beforeme. Once operated only manually,

these doors now slide open anytime

somebody nearby so much as sneez-

es. Here I am on the oor, cheeks

 burning, and no longer looking cool.

The illustration I have just posit-

ed is entirely ctional, but completely

 plausible nonetheless. In fact, I pro-

 pose that the addition of automatic

doors on this campus is nothing short

of a menace to the existence of chiv-

alry itself.

That’s right — Darling is just the

 beginning, the siren call of change on

the horizon. Before we know it, the

 presence of any chivalric behavior 

on this campus will have been com-

 pletely eradicated. Today, the library.Tomorrow? The world.

Certain persons may say, how-

ever, that this creeping change is for 

the better. Some feminists, for ex-

ample, would love to see the archaic

codes of chivalry become obsolete.

Chivalry can hearken back to days of 

 patriarchy, class distinctions and rm

gender roles. At an egalitarian insti-

tution such as APU, kissing chivalry

goodbye may seem like a good idea.

What do we mean, however,

when we talk about chivalry? Ac-

cording to “Chivalry,” a book by

French literary scholar Léon Gautier,

chivalry was “the Christian form of 

the military profession: the knight

[was] the Christian soldier.”

With the inuence of the church

heavily entrenched in Western na-

tions, knights were expected toobey and defend the teachings of the

church. There was a growing feeling

that battle could be carried out in a

righteous way and for righteous ends.

Thus, knights were subjected to the

honor code of chivalry.

I sat down with Dr. Carole Lam-

 bert, a professor of world literature

and a specialist in medieval texts, to

nd out how this code has developed

over time.

Chivalry is derived from the

French “chevalier,” which literally

refers to a knight, or one who rides

a horse.

“I think by the 12th or 13th cen-

tury we could show a movement

away from the knight … to courtlylove,” Lambert said.

This transition would be char-

acterized by the knight in question

doing heroic acts with the intent of 

wooing a woman. The importance of 

honor and integrity was maintained,

 but perhaps romanticized. This, ac-

cording to Lambert, was followed by

the Renaissance.

Shakespearean literature gives

us clues as to how chivalry evolved,

Chivalry – Love it or lose it?

moving from the external gallant

chevalier to someone with integrity,

honesty and bravery.

“And that person doesn’t even

need to ride a horse anymore,” said

Lambert.

Thus, chivalry began to be de-

ned by actions and less by status.

Essentially, a man could show a

woman that he was noble and uprighteven though he may not have pedi-

gree. This trend developed through

 bourgeois citizens in the 18th centu-

ry. After reforms in Western govern-

ments and the industrial revolution of 

the 19th century, chivalrous behavior 

 became more commonplace.

It was then possible for the com-

mon man to nd wealth through a

stroke of luck and attempt to elevate

his own status by learning good man-

ners and etiquette.

“We have remnants in the 20th

century and 21st century of holding

a door for a lady or taking a hat off 

in church. Those are just good man-

ners of cultured people who know

how to act in society,” said Lambert.“I personally still appreciate someone

holding the door for me. Often many

young male students, when I’m rac-

ing, late as usual, into Wilden, you

know, just stop everything. They’re

racing too and just stop and make sure

the door doesn’t hit me in the face.”

I remember when I was a mere

child, just learning about such man-

ners. I was exiting church with my

family one bright Sunday morning,

and my mother turned to me. “Jer-

emiah,” she said. “Would you like to

know how to act like a gentleman?”

I was probably less than 5 feet

tall at the time, but every inch of me

replied, “Yes!” Over the next several

weeks, she taught me that gentlemen

open doors for ladies and help them

carry groceries and are always cour-

teous – even when they don’t feel likeit. I’ve been opening doors for my

momma ever since.

I was just a boy, but I began to

think about what it would mean to

 be a man someday. As I observed my

 parents, I began to think about what

it would mean to love a woman like

my father loved my mother. Now that

I’m older, I wonder what it would

look like to love a wife like Christ

loves his church.

These are thoughts that go far 

 beyond opening doors, surrendering

one’s seat to a woman on the trolley

or walking a friend back from West

Campus. However, I have to think 

that with every door I hold open, I

learn a little bit more. I experiencesmall amounts of service and practice

honoring others in a world that isn’t

so good at that anymore.

When I hold a door open at APU,

I’m not always trying to point out a

woman’s weaknesses or assert my

dominance as the more-powerful sex.

Sometimes, I stand there quietly ac-

knowledging my own weaknesses.

I think about my own pride and ar-

rogance and how I always need to

check it at the door.

If men on this campus desire to

 be leaders in any capacity, they need

to learn to lead by serving others.

Sometimes, it might involve check-

ing your pride and letting a woman

hold the door for you. The point,

friends, is that we learn to serve one

another as brothers and sisters who

are equal before God.The divide between feminism

and chivalry is one that I think can get

smaller. In fact, I see a lot of similari-

ties between the two ideologies.

Feminism is about empowering

women, yes. It is also about empow-

ering anyone who has been disen-

franchised or cast aside.

Chivalry, while originally a very

male-centric idea, revolves around

the same principles: defend the de-

fenseless, esteem the lowly, honor 

God. Is this so different?

We can learn from these two

schools of thought. We can certainly

learn to have civilized conversations

about them.

In the meantime, can we get rid of those pesky automatic doors, please?

will jump at in order to pad their resume and up

their chances for a paid internship the following

year. Some offer slight perks to make up for the

unpaid labor, like free metro cards, unlimited

snacks in the ofce, special networking and edu-

cational events and perhaps even a small stipend

to cover lunch expenses. Or maybe just a thank-

you card at the end and a going-away party with

 balloons and your favorite cake.

I wish I could stop there at what is essential-

ly volunteer work, but even below the unpaid

internships are the often required for-credit in-

ternships, where students are paying thousands

of dollars in tuition money to work.

Don’t get me wrong — internships are an

incredible way to get practical experience, gure

out whether you like the eld and build valu-

able networking contacts. As a journalism ma-

 jor, I think all journalism students should have

several internships on their resumes by the time

they graduate. I have had three journalism intern-

ships, one in my hometown and two in Washing-

ton, D.C., and I plan on getting a fourth one next

spring before I graduate. Although classwork is

important, it is incomparable to the growth I have

achieved through my internship experiences.

But for some reason it is acceptable in the

college setting to ask someone to pay to work.

Imagine if anybody else tried to do that: “Pay us

$3,927 and we’ll let you work full-time at our 

company this summer!”

The curricula for several APU majors, in-

cluding communication studies, journalism,

global studies, applied exercise science, Chris-

tian ministries, social work and marketing, re-

quire students to take a 3 or 4-unit internship

class, which essentially asks them to nd an off-

campus internship, put in a specic amount of 

hours during the semester, then meet with their 

classes and professors for discussion.

Sports

Take a look at any of his 71 season tackles

and there’s no question how junior free safety

Tyler Thornton earned the nickname “Thor.”

The 5-foot, 8-inch, 182-pound free safety

recalls the moment head coach Victor SantaCruz rst gave him the nickname during foot-

 ball camp of his freshmen year.

“I was doing good, and he just said, ‘You

know, I like you. You bring the hammer. I’m

gonna call you “Thor,”’” Thornton said as a

smile crept across his face. “Before that, my

nickname was ‘Sleepy.’”

Thornton said he earned that rst nickname

from Santa Cruz earlier in that same camp dur-

ing team meetings.

“I was sitting like this,” Thornton said as

he slumped back in his chair. “I just rubbed my

eye, and as soon as I looked at him, his eyes

were just looking at me with this stare.”

“I just got chewed out by Coach Santa

Cruz,” Thornton said, laughing. He insisted that

despite what his teammates may say, he was not

falling asleep.

“After that year, going to the meetings, he

always brings it up l ike, ‘It’s funny how you’ve

come from that kid getting yelled at to where

Thor puts the hammer down Azusa Pacic free

safety stays humble,

continuously seeks

growth and smashes the

opposition on the eld 

Katie Richcreekopinion editor

you are now,’” Thornton said.

The transition between the nicknames

“Sleepy” and “Thor” is evident in the way Santa

Cruz talks about Thornton.

“He’s willing to look at the man in the mir -

ror and challenge that person to grow emotion-

ally, maturity-wise and in responsibility,” Santa

Cruz said. “He wants to succeed. I’m very im-

 pressed with his tenacity and will as a person,

 but also his humility in that he realizes he’s got

a lot of growing to do. He’s always trying to

grow.”

Defensive coordinator Brian Willmer de-

scribes Thornton as a ghter who, despite never 

 being the big guy, is the one who says, “I’m the

strongest guy out there.”

“Sometimes you meet guys like that who

are always trying to prove something. He’s not

trying to prove something. This is who he is,

and this is how he plays,” Willmer said. “As a

football player, he’ll knock you to the ground.

As a man, he’ll reach down, he’ll lift you up,

he’ll smile at you, very soft-spoken, and he’ll be

ready to knock you down again the next play.”

Thornton said his biggest inuence and sup-

 port comes from his mother, Adonna Macon.

After his sophomore year of high school,

Macon took a job opportunity in San Diego, but

allowed Thornton and his older sister to stay at

their home in Bakerseld so that he could con -

tinue to play football.“She would work Friday and then right af -

ter work drive to Bakerseld to see me play,”

Thornton said. “I appreciate what she did. She’s

 been my support all this time.”

Macon moved back to Bakerseld for health

issues after Thornton came down to APU. How-

ever, she has yet to miss any of her son’s games.

She even ew out to a game in St. Louis.

“If I could do anything, it’d probably be some-

thing for my mom, honestly. Make things better for 

her,” Thornton said.

In addition to his position at free safety, Thorn-

ton also returns kicks and punts, averaging 18.3

yards per kick return and 10.7 yards per punt re-

turn.

He earned First Team All-Great Northwest

Athletic Conference honors as a defensive back 

as well as the Second Team All-Conference kick 

returner nod in the 2012 season as a sophomore.

“With a whole year to go, I think he can be one

of our football program’s best,” Santa Cruz said.

APU coaches look for 

certain qualities in recruitsThe transition from NAIA to NCAA

has changed the recruiting process and 

standards for APU Athletics

Steven Mercadosports editor

 Now that Azusa Pacic is in its -

nal stages of transitioning from NAIA

to NCAA Division II, the identity of 

the Athletics Department has changed.

More recruits are expressing their in-

terest in the university as coaches look 

for even more highly qualied ath-

letes. The NCAA logo posted around

campus speaks clearly to APU’s com-

mitment to excellence.

“The rst conversation is no lon-

ger an education of what the NAIA is

and having to justify how good the

level you play at is,” men’s basketball

head coach Justin Leslie said. “It’s

now self-evident. We don’t have to goin and beat our chests and brag that

we’re some great, wonderful thing.

It’s great that we’re a part of a bigger 

 picture and as a result, more people

are inclined to want to hear the mes-

sage.”

The Athletics Department is see-

ing a greater inux of interested re-

cruits and as a result, the standards for 

APU’s student athletes have changed.

But the larger pool of athletically

talented applicants is only one piece

of the puzzle when it comes to what

coaches consider when recruiting a

new Cougar.

Football and men’s basketball

have seen the largest success in their 

recruiting process thus far, according

to Sports Information Director Joe Re-

insch. The sports look for similar core

values in potential athletes.

“When we do sign somebody or 

invite them to play for us as a recruited

walk-on, we believe they have to have

the full package,” football head coach

Victor Santa Cruz said. “We had a lot

of [potential] athletes who may be ath-

letic and academic, but they just don’t

have the personality or the growth

mentality we’re looking for as far as

our culture. [The recruiting process] is

not a perfect science, but I think it’s

helped us out to say yes and no about

a lot of these conversations.”

 Now potential APU athletes show

athletic, academic and personal matu-rity. NAIA athletes rarely receive at-

tention from Division I schools, but

the majority of APU’s recent recruits

have either been a part of or were re-

cruited by D-I institutions. Because

of this, these players are ready for a

faster and more physical type of foot-

 ball.

“Now, you’ve got young men

who are being recruited by Divi-

sion I schools as well as Division II

schools, and what that brings is a guy

who is a little more athletically ma-

ture than in the past,” Santa Cruz said.

 Swimming and diving plunges

into 2013-2014 seasonThe APU swimming

and diving team

begins season on

high noteSteven Mercadosports editor

Azusa Pacic’s swimming and

diving team ofcially started its sea-

son Saturday, Oct. 12 and welcomed

 back senior and captain Tink Gibb,

who missed all of last year but won the

opening event of the PCSC Pentathlon

with a 1:57.2 time in the 200 free. She

nished in the top ve in each of the

 pentathlon’s ve events.

Gibb took fth place in the 500

free and set a new personal best

(5:17.50). After spending all of last

year as a redshirt due to an injury, she

has battled her way back to the pooland is working hard to be better than

she was before.

“I was really nervous coming

 back and seeing how I would perform,

 but I won this pentathlon my junior 

year, so my goal was to win it again,”

Gibb said. “I was really pleased with

how I performed [Saturday]. I put in

a lot of hard work over the summer,

so that denitely paid off. As a team,

I was really proud of the girls. We’ve

 been working really hard since the

 beginning of school and it denitely

showed in that meet.”

Head coach Tim Kyle felt that the

meet went well and it was a great way

to start the season. Kyle said the team

met his high expectations.

“I think we had a good showing,”

Kyle said. “This year is a little bit of 

a different year for us because it’s our 

last year in transition to the NCAA, so

we are redshirting a couple of prettytalented swimmers, but even with that,

we have a really talented freshman

group this year and girls that aren’t red-

shirting that are very talented. I think 

overall, we did as well as expected.”

Gibb’s comeback this summer and

 performance in the rst meet reects

her mentality of never letting up and

continuing to work hard.

“Personally coming to APU as a

transfer last semester and she was a

redshirt, I didn’t know where she was

 — I just knew she was training really

hard all summer,” junior Ingrid Carde-

nas said. “I’m really proud of how hard

she worked and how she’s been work-

ing at practice. She denitely deserved

winning the events that she did and

getting rst place in the pentathlon.”

Swimming and diving is a very

team-oriented sport and Kyle said that

not one swimmer is more important

than the other on this team. Every par -ticipant is important and contributes to

the nal score at the end of the meet.

“Swimming can go down to one

 point in an event, so you have to be a

well-rounded team at all events and

you have to be 18-deep,” Kyle said.

“Eighteen individuals score [in the

meets].”

Even though each team member 

 participates individually, team sup-

 port is essential since each swimmer’s

score contributes to the team’s overall

number. Bible studies the team holds

serve as a major source of the team’s

chemistry.

Cross country nishes strong, looks forward to postseasonThe men’s and women’s

cross country teams

 nish the season and 

look to top Cal Baptist in

 playos

Azusa Pacic’s cross country team nished

its regular-season schedule on Saturday, Oct. 19

at the Santa Clara Bronco Invitational in Sun-

nvale, Calif. The team ran its best race of the year,

recording the fourth-best overall performance in

 program history and supporting junior Peter Bus-

check as he ran the eighth-fastest time ever for the

school (24:26.7).

This race came after a three-week break for 

the Cougars, who worked hard to train and stay in

shape over their break.

“We raced like we’ve been training,” head

coach Preston Grey said. “We did what we did in practice, and bringing that out there to the race is

really all you can do. This race was pretty indica-

tive of what we have been doing in practice.”

Top Cougar men’s runner Buscheck attrib-

uted the historic performance partly to the course

where they ran.

“It was a fast course where people were run-

ning fast times, but fast times don’t just happen

 by accident,” Buscheck said, “We still came out

there and competed really well. I think that’s due

to the quality of training that we’ve been putting

in the last few weeks. We’ve really stepped it up

and focused a little more.”

The year began with the California Baptist

Invitational Sept. 7. Buscheck nished in rst and

sophomore Aaron Potts nished in second, only

one second after Buscheck. The women nished

second overall, with three runners in the top 10.This race was an early test for the Cougars and

they cranked out a strong performance.Both the men and women of cross country

have a goal for this year. The men plan to bridge

the gap with the reigning PacWest cross country

champions Cal Baptist while the women plan to

defend their PacWest title.

During the two teams’ second races, they

made strides toward achieving their goals. The

men nished ahead of Cal Baptist and nished

eighth overall as a team. The women nished

eighth overall as well.

At the Roy Griak Invitational in Minnesota

on Sept. 28, the Cougars suffered a dropoff on

 both the men’s and women’s side. They competed

against a few top-25 Division II teams on each

side and the Cougars did not meet their own ex-

 pectations.

The Cougars bounced back Saturday and re-

turned to the form they have worked to achievethroughout the year.

“We really wanted to get back to a levelwhere we’re contending for a conference title,”

Grey said. “We’ve been trying to chase down Cal

Baptist for a while. They are kind of the standard-

 bearer, more or less, in the PacWest. I think we

have closed that gap a lot and we’re ready to get a

good shot at them [in the playoffs].”

Junior Kristie Sikma, top runner of the de-

fending Pacic West Conference champion wom-

en’s team, understands the importance of staying

a top team and maintains condence in their abil-

ity to do so.

“We really put in a lot of hard work during

those three weeks [without a race] to really get

into the mindset that we are good enough to com-

 pete with these schools,” Sikma said. “We are a

good team and have always had a legacy of being

a good team. That’s the mindset we try to go into

our races with. What’s hard about having a newer team is they need to learn that APU is a champi-

onship [cross country] team.”

The identity of each team not only involves

its legacy, but the team chemistry it has. Runners

feeding off of each other’s energy is key for staying

strong in their races and both the men and women

have established a strong bond with one another.

“You’re together a lot, you’re enduring a lot

of mileage together, you’re suffering a lot through

hard workouts, there’s a lot of blood, sweat and

tears that go into it,” Grey said. “You feel a close

 bond with your teammates, especially when you

know that they’re willing to go that extra mile

for you, and when you develop that bond with

them, that allows yourself to push yourself harder,

and when it starts hurting, you just keep pushing

through it because you know you’re doing it for 

your teammates.”

Buscheck said teamwork in cross country is

a key to success.

“Cross country [is about chemistry] much

more so than track and eld,” Buscheck said. “I’d

say there’s that team dynamic. The guys on the

team, we all get along together really well, and we

all have fun out there. When you’re having fun,

it’s a lot easier to perform well. Cross country is

denitely a team sport. It takes ve guys to do it.”

Sikma is thankful for her training partners, se-nior Sarah Higgens and sophomore Reika Kijima,

for always pushing her to the limit and helping

her to get better.

“I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty

amazing training partners that will push me to be

 better,” Sikma said. “We run as a team, we try to

 be as close to each other as possible, we’re help-

ing each other work out, and that translates over 

to races.”

The PacWest Conference Championships

 begin Saturday, Nov. 2 in San Rafael, Calif. With

slightly more than a week left until the playoffs,

the team is anticipating a chance to fulll the

goals members formed in the beginning of the

season.

“I think we’re feeling pretty good,” Grey

said. “They’re feeling like they got a bit of re -

demption from their last race and are licking their chops for the championship season.
