Student Life 13 Student Publications Students have the primary responsibility for the publication of the college yearbook, The Miracle, and the college newspaper, Whispering Cedars. A fac– ulty-student committee provides direction and advice. Students interested in staff positions may apply to the editors. Community Service From time to time, Cedarville College students participate in community serv– ice projects. For example, Alpha Chi, a student organization for men, serves both the college and the community with an ambulance service as well as disaster relief. They maintain a Red Cross Disaster Van, given to them by the American National Red Cross. All squad members receive standard and advanced first aid training which prepares them for their duties on the squad. Counseling Services The administration, faculty, and student personnel staff members enjoy a unique personal relationship with individual students and experience meaning– ful counseling relationships with them. A Counseling Center has been established to provide personal assistance in a wide range of non-academic areas in order to facilitate educational and personal development. The goal of the Counseling Service is to aid individual members of the college community in making their college experience as enriching and meaningful as possible by offering assistance in their discovery of and conformi– ty to God's will for their lives. Professional counseling personnel work closely with members of the staff and faculty. Musical Organizations Students with musical talents have many opportunities to participate in col– lege musical programs, gospel teams, Concert Choir, Choralaires, Marching and Symphonic Bands, Brass Choir, Symphonic Orchestra, and vocal and instrumen– tal ensembles. A pep band performs at athletic contests. Student Senate The Student Senate is the representative assembly of the student body. Its officers are elected annually by the student body. The Senate, in addition to its officers, includes two representatives from each class, residence hall representa– tives, campus organization representatives, and a faculty advisor. The purpose of the Student Senate is to assist in providing a well-rounded program of extracurri– cular activities which will help to develop the physical, mental, social, and spirit– ual life of the students, to inspire loyalty to the school and the principles for which it stands, to promote an efficient and harmonious school life, and to recommend to the proper authorities any action which it deems wise for the welfare of the student as an individual or for the student body as a whole. Election to the Student Senate provides an opportunity to exercise democratic leadership in student affairs. The Student Senate is responsible for and the supervision of such fund raising projects as the student body project, the student missionary project, and an occasional chapel program. Student Senate also spon– sors the annual "In-Forum" lecture series.
