Biola’s reputation rests on students

Biola has only as much integrity as her students. From the Campus Issues folder on BUBBS to philosophy classes, from Commons to the off-campus parties, a sentiment floats in the consciousness of Biola students. Biola’s administration – ResLife, Student Development, and even President Corey – lack integrity. I beg to differ.

The dollar menu disappearance

I took a few steps forward and I began to place my order. I had only uttered the words “dollar chicken nuggets,” before a slightly dazed employee behind the counter interrupted and said, “We don’t have those anymore.”

Presidential plan for the future

President Corey shares his plan for the upcoming years at Biola: During my first year here at Biola, I hit the ground listening in order to better assess the needs of this university. While my listening has not ceased, I am pleased to move ahead so that we as a community can boldly step together into year one of century two. I’d like to share with you some of the changes I have already made as well as some ideas I have for Biola’s future.

Michael Cera ruined us all

I wouldn't normally consider myself to be a "jealous guy" per-se, but I have to admit, when my girlfriend joined a Michael Cera Facebook fan club the other day, I started to become a bit skeptical.

The truth about chapel overcrowding

On Friday morning, I got to the gym five minutes early and braced myself for a claustrophobic’s nightmare: a teeming mass of tired, cramped, sweaty, fire-code-violating mosh pit of “Biola community” I keep hearing about. Attendance typically peaks at the beginning of the semester and dwindles to a more manageable level. The highest attendance this year was 2,096, which is far from the legal limit of 3,200.

Facing off: The Democratic VP

Sen. Joe Biden has demonstrated dedicated service, action, partnership, and humility while serving in congress for the last 35 years, making him the longest serving senator in Delaware history.

Embracing the Biola greenhouse

Is Biola a bubble or a greenhouse? Well, that depends on your perspective and attitude, because in essence a greenhouse is a bubble with a purpose. This leads me to ask what the purpose of a greenhouse is. It is a place of cultivation that is safe from outside harm and allows the sun’s rays and heat to create a controlled atmosphere for growth.

Facing off: The Republican view

There is no learning curve in the Oval Office. In the past 10 years, international politics, global conflicts and economic uncertainty illustrate the vital and crucial importance of candidates' experience and accomplishments.

Facing off: The Democratic view, part 2

Change. For America, this is exactly what the doctor has in order. Senator Barack Obama is our ambassador to change and everything about his past has prepared him to represent you and me as our next president of the United States.

The fight against oversized Bible classes

Biola prides itself in its Bible program. Thirty units of good, wholesome, systematic theology for everyone. That’s pretty huge; nobody does that anymore. My question: are we sticking to it for tradition’s sake alone?

The chapel cram

As a columnist, it’s my duty to tackle the hard-hitting issues. It’s for this reason that when I was given the task of reporting on chapel overcrowding by my editor, I shoved everything off her desk and screamed “Don’t SPIT in a bucket and call it a SUNDAE!”

Fighting off the sick roommate bugs

Nothing puts tension on your friendship with your roommate like a cough that disrupts valuable hours of sleep. Chances are your first response to a sick roommate is more focused on you than on him or her.
