I’m always excited to see what rumors are invented here.
when someone follows you out of the library and through the atrium so you have to hold the door open for them 4 separate times. #canadianprobs I am having a hard time accepting the fact that none of the first year’s know who Erin Thiessen is. I really want to be one of those happy peppy chatty bubbly friendly people but 99% of the time I’m too tired. Can we talk about how much leg we saw from Scott Wardal during Fort Week? ATTN Kelvin Gartley????? Boston riot aka my living nightmare someone please tell me when paul curtis and keara allan are going to get married Shoutout to Paul & Kelly for KILLING it as the new RD’s of Douglas. TWUSA’s goal this year is to NOT be cliquey! Some of us are just shy. Say hi :) One month into living in apartments and I have yet to make a meal that involves more than the microwave.
Attention person who thought they found the “new” smoking spot by Northwest: this is not new, me and the older staff of the Cog have been puffin’ it out there for years.
fact: the rooster struts around the hen pen, fluffing his feathers and puffing his chest in hopes of finding a mate another fact: fort week boys are roosters #putyourshirton
In the CANIL and everybody looks at you weird, its like they can smell that you don’t want to be a Bible translator
The Mars’ Hill has become a pit of biased, liberal trash where orthodoxy goes to die. #SorryNotSorry #CensorMe?
Apparently Nicolas Noble has that pair of sunglasses from They Live?
Why do people keep putting words in my mouth?
Nicolas Noble: even after he graduates he’s causing controversy at TWU Why are there no knock knock jokes about America? Because freedom rings. Does anyone else ever feel really tempted to pull the fire alarms? Check out all the 3WX. #heyladies
girls in
Is it just me or is there a lack of tall, dark, and handsome men here? #everyone’sblond Two Americans available in aparement 228 in McMillian, they’ll make you cookies for free and will accept any and all wife applications. (And if you’re lucky they’ll serenade you with the national anthem)
Yes Sodexo is a joke for coffee! Come to TWUSA it’s free!
I already thought you were cute, but seeing you at OpenMic confirmed it. I adore you. Hit me up Riley Voth.
Just your Bi-weekly reminder that yes Braden Heppell is still getting married on the 29th of December, and yes you are still invited to crash it with me #PartyOn
Sh*t Torch Kidz Say: “My parking pass was $350 more than my tuition... too bad I don’t pay that either” #staffparking #freetuition #torchscholarship #torchkids
Don’t print this declassified Becca Carsience, I saw you in the shevangelist and I’m wondering where I apply to be your boyfriend. Fort Week: When your boyfriend has smoother legs than you do.

Lincoln Nikkel looked at me in the caf!!! #ringbyspring Lincoln! I heard you gained 137 new Instagram followers after the bucket game Let’s name the upper field the Lincoln Nikkel Field Lincoln Nikkel, please father my children. The last time I was someone’s type, I was donating blood. According to the ads on Praise 106.5, every Christian is a young Mom with kids. To the mythical community writer: clearly you do not have a hammock or blundies. To the girl in Rels 101, your latte was waiting but you were a no show... I will continue to look at your curls. Please be more specific about our meeting spot. Sincerely, marriageable man (M^2). 3X girls know how to dance but next time leave room for the Holy Spirit Was anyone else turned on by the opening night of Fort Week?
Can we put the de-classifieds back where they belong. The paper falls apart when I open it. I can’t handle it. Sometimes I think about how much I’m paying for this school and it clears my conscience about the stuff I do here. dear fraser, consider the Globe to be your Fraser Fire Alarm House of Refuge. we have tea. What’s edgier than a the new outdoor chapel? Mars Hill. You know what’s great? When a hopeful future student tours TWU, reads the current MH, and then asks you “is this how it really is at TWU?” Thanks NN for representing the entire TWU population in your one ill-fitting, and extremely foul article. Bring back @sotrinitybarbie facebook.com/TWUMEMES ‘nuff saidhttp://facebook.com/ TWUMEMES To the girl that anonymously left me the “your very handsome” napkin, who in the world are you? So are Jenn and Karsten actually dating? Or is it still the same joke from three years ago?...or was it never a joke?... why is the MH editor bald? Did you see Glenn Hansen’s awesome new coat??
In a way aren’t we all Trump supporters? How are these making it in? They’re absolutely terrible…

Dear Editor,
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
NOTICE OF CORRECTION: In “Let’s Talk About Sects” on pg. 15 of Volume 21 Issue 2 of Mars’ Hill, published October 5, the Seventh-day Adventist Church symbol was mistakenly attached to the Calvinist response. This entails a major faith misrepresentation for both parties. Mars’ Hill regrets this error.
I am writing in response to Nicolas Noble’s article “The Myth of Community,” in which he questions the existence of community at Trinity Western University. Though I agree with Nicolas on many of his secondary arguments, I disagree with his primary one. TWU is not a “Christian Community” per se, but to assert that TWU is not a community is untrue. Like any university, it features a thriving academic community comprised of students, professors and administration. As it is not a community based upon religion, TWU would not have faced an identity crisis had the law school proposition been accepted, as the primary focus of the law school is clearly to provide a higher quality of education for its students. Call me naïve, but I am unable to identify a shadowy university board that is intentionally leading its students and faculty into a war of attrition. Returning to the topic of community, one can hardly ignore the fact that the Christian faith is foundational to TWU’s identity. Nicolas is absolutely correct in pointing out that, idealistic marketing aside, TWU is not a “Christian community,” and that a “Christian community” is accurately described as a church. I believe that TWU can be best described as a community based on the Christian faith. One does not have to agree with me; one does not have to agree with the Christian faith; one does not have to agree that Trinity’s administration reflects the Christian faith at all. At times, I certainly take issue with how the administration and various individuals and groups represent the Christian faith on campus. Disagreement is not damaging to a university community, but its life-force. Community is unequivocal with singularity: what community implies is mutual respect among peers. TWU, with all its flaws, certainly reflects this much. Sincerely, Joel Redekop “Hmmm.” — Ryan Schaffrick
