Deadlines and more deadlines will always be implanted in my memory when I think of the Crusader. Articles always due 15 minutes ago and always one more great quote to catch. But I will always remember my time at the Crusader fondly.
There was no obligation for me to be on the Crusader; there has always been love and dedication for journalism.

The hundreds of hours I have spent on the University Crusader are easily some of my favorite moments at SAU. Never again will I work with such sharp, dedicated and passionate people. These college years hold that part of our lives in which our ideology has not yet run out.

Twenty one is a terrifying number. As I lounge in my standard issue dorm chair, contemplating this final assignment, it is the number of days I have until someone in a black gown and a funny hat hands me an empty diploma folder. It is the number of days until all my belongings must be jammed into boxes and hauled out of this tiny town for the last time.

Music in Tennessee and hanging out Although my time with the Crusader has been short, I had an amazing time working with these people. I wish I'd gotten on board much earlier. One thing I've learned is that journalism can in fact be fun, and if you write like you know what you're talking about, people will actually listen to you.

Before I wrote for the Crusader I thought, "I don't know if I want to do that. I'm an English Writing major. I don't want to write news, I want to write creatively." Well, let me tell you, it takes some creativity to get students to pick up a newspaper every week in a one-horse town that isn't particularly newsworthy.

Going into April the Spring Arbor University baseball team had a disappointing 10-8 record, suffering injuries to four key players. Coming out of April the Cougars are 28-9 and have clinched their conference.
The list of those injured in early April included veteran pitcher Cody "Louie" Sharp who took a line drive to his wrist, junior infielder Jeff Hollister with a knee injury, senior pitcher/infielder Jesse Bachman with a pulled hamstring and junior outfielder Jon Herbig with a concussion after he dove headfirst into an outfield wall in pursuit of a fly ball.

It was a sunny, warm afternoon on Saturday, as 20 of us Spring Arbor students headed off for Grand Rapids with one mission in mind. No one quite knew what to expect; how many people would there be? Would anyone care? Was it really going to rain? But despite the questions, off we went.

For all worship arts majors one thing is always on their minds, particularly as their senior year approaches- the piano proficiency exam. However, some worship arts students have begun to ask why certain aspects of the piano proficiency are required, why their teachers aren't helping to prepare them more and if it is possible for them to have alternatives to the keyboard based exam.

When I first stepped into Smith Music Center 224 (aka the pub lab) almost four years ago, I didn't know just how many hours I would spend in that crowded, stuffy office. I didn't know just how many sleepless nights I would spend there planning, writing and designing the campus newspaper.
